This can't be legal. It has to stop!

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight. Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like. We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

The felon who was given *undue* process by the legal systems (particularly SCOTUS) wants to take away due process from the rest of us.

A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind. “They arrested someone,” witness said. “They left the children inside the truck.” www.sfgate.com/centralcoast...

ICE would post up outside the manger to disappear Mary to a foreign torture prison after snatching the baby Jesus and holding him in a private, for-profit tender-age detention facility.

BREAKING: European leaders have issued a ceasefire ULTIMATUM to Putin. Either he negotiates an end to the war, or Europe will unleash “massive” sanctions against Russia and supply Ukraine devastating weapons. Putin has 36 hours to respond.

The Administration has arrested a judge in WI and a mayor in NJ, and is threatening to arrest federal lawmakers. In any other country we would say the strongman's security forces are locking up political opponents. We need to treat it exactly that way here. www.axios.com/2025/05/10/t...

Ross Noble, after a few pope jokes, "If any Catholics are offended, report me to theatre management & they'll move me along to another theatre & I'll just do the same thing again." 😃

Generative AI has helped me to understand why, in Star Wars, the droids seem to have personalities but are generally bad at whatever they're supposed to be programmed to do, and everyone is tired of their shit and constantly tells them to shut up

There's no way back from a suspension of Habeas Corpus. It's a one-man dictatorship then. And any Republican in office or out who would still support Trump after this is, simply, a traitor to America. www.cnn.com/2025/05/09/p...

And much of it is canned hunts where the animal is raised in a cage and held there, while some jack ass walks up and shoots it.

I knew it! The White House is considering SUSPENDING HABEAS CORPUS. And here I thought I was being paranoid.

When Trump and DOGE take a chainsaw to the IRS, remember that this is who they're really helping. https://itep.org/what-corporations-have-to-gain-from-the-gutting-of-the-irs/

NEW: Trump aide Stephen Miller says the White House is considering suspending habeas corpus — the constitutional right allowing individuals to challenge their detention in court — to carry out deportations. Miller referred to it as a “privilege.” From: @jaknutson.bsky.social

Unbelievable. They’re basically letting a child rapist off. Makes me sick how often these guys just get a slap on the wrist.

🚨 Disturbing footage shows the brutal arrest of a terrified 16-year-old girl—sobbing, screaming as “ICE agents” abducted her mom without a warrant or ID. At least 4 grown men slammed her face into the pavement. This is child abuse. This is state terror. Worcester police are complicit.

Trump: Give me 10 dollars. Republican: Okay. Trump: Here, you can have 4 of your dollars back. Republican: I made 4 dollars.

Ice Agents in Worcester, MA RIGHT NOW attempting to take 2 women and a baby. City Council Member @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social attempting to help her. Please share far and wide ASAP!

The last fellas who came from Chicago, were given a rigorous education in Catholicism and then claimed to be on a mission from God? They destroyed a suburban shopping mall, wrecked about 300 police cars and ended up in Joliet penitentiary. Just saying.

Letter by Aberdeen Trans Action to @robertgordonuni.bsky.social. It questions why they have changed their policy to reflect the non inclusive usage of the term "biological sex" for their toilets. Please share. We must out places that are excluding trans people.

1/ The US government has ordered the Swedish city of Stockholm to end its diversity, inclusivity and equality (DEI) programmes within 10 days. The city authorities say the demand is "bizarre" and they won't be complying. ⬇️

Page One must have been crowded. So NYT puts it on Page 13. 🤡 @schooley.bsky.social

They know people will work. But they know basic income means people will be less inclined to put up with workplace abuse and most workplaces are abusive.

Anonymous defaced the website of GlobalX Airlines and leaked flight manifests to expose the company’s role in unauthorized deportations under Trump. The action responded to flights defying judicial orders, signaling a protest against state-corporate impunity.

Some friends are raising funds to create a trans community blood testing organization in edinburgh after the local harm reduction clinic recently made the illegal decision that no transgender people are allowed to use their service gofund.me/81ca7e54

Israel has announced the indefinite invasion and occupation of the entire Gaza Strip. Thanks to US complicity under both Biden and Trump, Israel was able to massacre more than 50,000 people and evade international consequences. It is currently starving 2.5 million people, half of them children.

Pass it on…

ROXIE IS MISSING IN BROOKLYN: last seen at Bushwick and Beaver, she's 38 pounds and chipped: 985113008967088. If you've seen or found her please call 888-466-3242 and PLEASE RT ROXIE!

A modest request: In reports about Trump's endless, lawless exec orders, maybe point out that he *does not have* legal power to do these things. Trump did not "make it official" or "make good" on this bullying, as @semafor.com contends. He has ZERO official power to do this. King Canute dept.

Extremist NJ parents tried to have me arrested. Law enforcement didn’t budge. But my colleagues in Texas are now at risk. This is a good time to donate to the Merritt Fund, which provides support to librarians threatened for supporting intellectual freedom: www.ala.org/aboutala/aff...

White House official confirms Trump had conversation last night with Enrique Tarrio at Mar-a-Lago last night as Trump was walking to his dinner table On social media, Tarrio said Trump told him to thank the J6ers

It’s exhausting to keep repeating it to no avail, but this statement alone is worth of impeachment. He swore an oath to uphold the constitution. It’s like, rule number one to presidenting.

Raymond Chandler, letter to a friend, January 1948. Seems relevant beyond the specific Hollywood context.

Here's your new winning all-gender bathroom sign

WELKER: Don't you need to uphold the Constitution? TRUMP: I don't know If a president’s answer to “do you need to uphold the Constitution” isn’t yes, HE NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED IMMEDIATELY.

MAGA influencers are being offered access to “the White House—the perfect backdrop for any viral video—and the heady sense of being insiders. In return, all they have to do is ask questions that would make a Soviet propagandist blush,” @helenlewis.bsky.social writes: https://theatln.tc/C4sUGdvB

And there you have it.

Good turnout in Laguna Hills to protest Trump and Young Kim (she’s the congressional rep and the worst, vote her out next year)

American needs more white conservative children. That’s why we are closing hospitals in predominantly white conservative parts of the country and having HHS give dangerous medical advice that only white conservatives are stupid enough to believe.

Anonymous is currently targeting the Russian state hacking group APT28 (Fancy Bear) this group is responsible for attacks across Ukraine, Europe and the infamous DNC hack. The operation is ongoing. #OpAPT28

“This is taxpayer-funded, state-sponsored religious indoctrination. You’ve just got to call it what it is.”

Many years ago I saw Jill Sobule open for Warren Zevon and I became a fan for life that night. She was so brilliant and it wrecks me that she’s gone. Thank you for all the wonderful music.
