I tested out of further discourse and learning about Alt National Parks because I only acknowledge the legitimacy of Rogue Betsy Ross House.

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

Yes I totally agree. I think it helps people believe the fantasy that she was ‘kept alive’ so her baby could get a few more weeks in the womb, when truly they manipulated her dead body so that they could keep an 8 week pregnancy progressing.

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.

Anyone who watched the video knows this is a straight up lie from a fascist regime.

seen some people complaining that this is a political stunt and lemme say if this was the kind of political stunt more politicians were doing on a regular basis we wouldn't be where we are today dude is actually putting himself on the line here, fuck off with that shit

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City's comptroller, mayoral candidate Brad Lander, has been arrested while visiting an immigration court.

It's cop speak.

as an aside, thanking the cops who arrested a victim is so fucked. but it goes with all the reports of 50501 speakers and leaders thanking the cops at rallies. seen this from many states. fucked.

50501 has been a problem and now they got one person killed and have sent an innocent person to jail. stay away from them.

Can’t believe nobody wants to go to a soccer game to be kidnapped by ICE

let's gooooo!

Malaysian activists are trying to gather a 1,000 ships from around the world to sail to Gaza in unison to break the Israeli blockade www.newarab.com/news/malaysi...

welp I was ahead of my to do list for about 5 minutes then I burned my hand so back to ugh also trying to get someone with advanced dementia to try to avoid touching your hand is actually impossible so I also learned

One important difference being that the Republicans know how to harness the energy of their ultra-ideological flank, while the Democrats spend incredible amounts of energy and money trying to neutralize theirs.

The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it

It's wild how the "press" will twist itself in knots trying to defend the cops. I just watched a clip of some dude on MSNBC in LA and he was talking about how the police are attacking people with tear gas and flashbangs to keep the crowds from getting too big in one area because

AIN'T NO FUCKING WAY LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

As sad and scary as today was, watching folks in MN come out and seeing all the videos and photos of all the people out in the streets has really reminded me that we fight because we are alive. And we live on for those who didn't. Humans are horrible but we are also wonderful.

Thank you to the LAPD for radicalizing thousands of more people against them. Every time you tear gas people, a radical gets their wings. Lots of people don’t want to believe it will happen at a “peaceful” protest but it does and it will.

AG Ellison staying at the No Kings rally despite being on the assassin’s hit list to tell the crowd to not be stopped, to keep marching is exactly what I needed in this moment.

You absolutely can care about and fight for Palestine and trans rights and racial justice and environmental justice and land back and abolition and reparations and intersectional feminism and economic justice and healthcare and housing and education for everyone. It's actually all the same fight.

Gotta love Philly 🤣🔥….Go Birds 🦅 F Trump! Via @phillychitchat.bsky.social

The political assassination of Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, the political prosecution of a federal judge in Wisconsin, political violence against Democratic mayors and Congresspeople in New Jersey, the state violence against Congresspeople in Los Angeles are all part of the same phenomenon.

It isn’t lost on me that the suspect in the assassination of one of the most prominent women in Minnesota politics had a target list with abortion providers and advocates. Misogyny is deadly. My heart is with the victims, their families, and everyone affected.

Philly showin' up today

Turns out a wheelchair is a self-contained multimedia rig. #nokings

It's vital to emphasize that the GOP has been calling for violence against their political opponents for more than a decade now, led by Trump. The violence keeps escalating, and they keep doing it because they're getting results.

I think that the MSM is terrified of being targeted by the Right. It shows in their coverage. They aren't scared of the Lefts and that too shows in their coverage.

No one is in danger from undocumented immigrants. EVERYONE is endangered by the fascist Right in this country and that means the GOP.

A few days after Kristi Noem said that she wanted to liberate municipalities from dems who were elected to office...

These are relatively low risk protests in a lot of places AND gentle reminder to everyone that it is the cops that decide whether protests will be safe and/or peaceful, not protesters

Fucking hell: “Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer.”

Don't mind me, I'm just remembering our nation's history... www.senate.gov/artandhistor...

Something I wish liberals - and, for that matter, a lot of leftists - would internalize: The goal is not to out-argue, disprove, fact-check, debate, or point out the inconsistencies or hypocrisies of fascists. The goal is to defeat them.
