They shared this cause they want us to feel bad they gassed themselves while they violently attacked peacefully protesting citizens? Biggest babies alive.

Bricks discovered at Home Depot

White folks watched a bunch of white folks sack the Capitol and then most of them be pardoned by the head of the white identity party and now we're supposed to listen to other white people pontificate about non-violence...

Before landing at DHS, Fugate worked on the Trump campaign and interned at The Heritage Foundation. According to his LinkedIn profile, the bulk of his leadership experience comes from having served as secretary general of a Model United Nations club. By @hannahallam.bsky.social‬

A state's Guard has not been federalized like this over the governor's objection since 1965.

Footage of the random arrest by NYPD. The person was standing near the barricade and was tackled by police with no provocation. It’s confirmed by DHS that the NYPD and Eric Adam’s are willingly coordinating with ICE. What many warned about Adam’s became true. He sold NYC out.

well, these people are sociopathic enough to invoke the "insurrection act" - they absolutely think they can invade our cities and get away with it

hard to find a more literal image to serve the idea that the people of dc live under the federal government like it’s an occupying force

NOW: NYPD officers randomly charged into the crowd and tackled a protester. Three or so cops began dogpiling him, earlier he was just standing next to me. His condition appears to be severe as he reports he can’t feel his head nor his legs. Cops may have broken his knee.

I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

Cops cannot be 'reasoned' with. They do what they want with impunity in the US and a lot of people simply refuse to acknowledge this reality.

Fuck, and I cannot stress this enough, this guy, and fuck ICE. They aren't worried about treating immigrants like real people with real families. Well, turnabout is fair play.

ICE vans ran through a crowd of anti-ICE protesters in Paramount, CA, at least two with extreme injuries, per @acatwithnews.bsky.social A major fire is burning in the middle of the street, per Sean.

Bitch you're the only person talking about this shit! This is letting the other side dictate the debate! We've been beaten over the head with Alexander Hamilton quotes for a decade and yet party leadership still hasn't internalized the easiest thing: "Those who stand for nothing fall for anything."

"Don't murder Greta Thunberg and half a dozen other people in cold blood with US made weapons" gets a whopping 11 signatures in the House

She was shot in the chest by an unnamed fellow officer.

So DOGE used crappy AI to “munch” VA contracts. We got the code. Killed contracts included: -support for nurses -a gene sequencing to improve cancer treatment -blood analysis Story by @bxroberts.org @vernalcoleman.bsky.social and me. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

It took me 5 hours and 30 minutes to get to Providence from New York due to train equipment and track issues. Meanwhile, high-speed rail in Spain could make the same trip in 70 minutes. I’m done debating whether we should have fast trains in this country, it’s just embarrassing.

It took just 15 years to get from Citizens United to this

“I'm not comfortable supporting any state that has a hierarchy of citizenship on the basis of religion or anything else. I think that, in the way that we have in this country, equality should be enshrined in every country in the world. That's my belief.” - Zohran Mamdani

The first image shows a fantastic reconstruction of the omnivorous dinocephalian, called Jonkeria truculenta; by the talented artist @serpenillus.bsky.social. Jonkeria once had a large number of species attributed to it,‭ ‬but re-examination of the remains has found that many

Just thinking about wtf is wrong with someone who says something like this

TRUTH BOMB 💣 this guy is a Pedophile. I also made him President

"The 5-year-old survived but lost both her parents and her younger sister" "We found Hanin recovering from second and third degree burns" "18 children were killed" "Our analysis ... showed fragments of a guided American bomb" We killed these children. We burned this child.

terrified to feel optimistic about anything but god, Zohran really is so good

My latest — I wrote about Trump pardoning reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley’s tax and bank fraud convictions after their daughter praised him at the RNC vs. 18-year-old Marcelo Gomes da Silva’s wrongful ICE detainment, and how justice has merely become a presidential transaction. Read here:

NEW: Meet the 22-Year-Old Trump’s Team Picked to Lead Terrorism Prevention One year out of college and with no apparent national security expertise, Thomas Fugate is the Department of Homeland Security official tasked with overseeing the government’s main hub for combating violent extremism.

This is an abomination. The IDF is using an interlocking set of manifestly unlawful policies, killing civilians by the dozen, either with no military objective in view or in manifest disproportion to low-value targets. It makes a mockery of international law.

the difference between this and all the “brave anti-woke academic speaking out despite the risks” is that (a) she’s actually risking something, and (b) she’s actually saying something that’s correct

Jesus fucking Christ

Strong essay by @mazmhussain.bsky.social on why Gaza is a genocide. mazmhussain.substack.com/p/death-and-...

CBO now estimates that combination of Trump's budget bill + other parts of the GOP health agenda (e.g. allowing enhanced ACA tax credits to expire as scheduled) will increase # of uninsured people by 16 million. This is a backdoor Obamacare repeal by any other name www.cbo.gov/system/files...

Just a completely rotten culture from top to bottom. Using human shields to clear buildings, shooting unarmed civilians, no ROE, etc; the IDF is anything but a professional military

63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys 46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

they will have to Zamboni the shit off his grave

a good thing to ask yourself when pursuing a broad political strategy is “would this have prevented the civil rights movement?”

I'm only half-watching this Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, but it is hard to overstate how unprepared the committee's Democrats are to fight these nominees. A bunch of elderly statesmen bringing decorum to a gunfight. Pathetic. Get these losers out of my face forever.

Like nearly 40% of all New Yorkers, I wasn’t born in this country. I moved here at age 7. It’s my home. And I’m proud to be a citizen, which means standing up for our Constitution. Councilmember Paladino might consider reading it.

ICE consists of people who are too unprofessional to be in the military and somehow too racist for the cops. They dress up like they’re fighting the Taliban in Korengal to brutalize Guatemalan-American teens, so they can defend the master volk (oh, I’m sorry: “real Americans”).

They're literally doing the meme

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

The Madleen Gaza aid flotilla – where Greta Thunberg is aboard – reports they've just spotted a drone hovering overhead:

Johnathan Joss died a hero. He was murdered for being gay, he went out protecting his trans husband from being executed. They burned down their home and killed their pets and then they murdered Joss while trying to murder his husband. The New York times can barely muster "fatally shot." I hate this.
