There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

Solidarity with trans people today, and always.

one thing i wish centrists understood is how ghoulishly indifferent they sound when they think they're scolding people in the guise of sophisticated pragmatic tacticians

Faceless government goon arrests public official for refusing to hand over a vulnerable person without a warrant. Guess the country.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

“Does the US President’s social media post mean people should evacuate Tehran in a serious, bombs-are-imminent sort of way or a silly, he’ll forget about it in the morning sort of way?” is an insane, nightmarish situation to be in

It constantly blows my mind that we have elected someone so gobsmackingly uncomprehending of the gravity and responsibility of his office that he does not grasp how insanely dangerous it is to fire off comments like this on a whim.

i remember watching the ferguson protest live and seeing cops deliberately escalate when the crowd was entirely peaceful. told a friend; they couldn't believe it. hope people see and believe their own eyes now.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Trump quit the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 despite verified Iranian compliance. The result? Iran ramped enrichment to near weapons-grade. Now, in June ‘25, we’re evacuating embassies. Decisions have consequences. We’re still living Trump’s first-term fallout. Escalation is on him.

Remember, we *had* a diplomatic resolution to the Iran nuclear issue, thanks to the JCPOA that Obama put in place after years of hard work, but then President Spiteful Shithead withdrew the U.S. from the pact in 2018 and everything fell apart. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

Right now you are either on the side of the shouted question or the snapping handcuff, and it is very clear which side is correct.

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

the "where are all the protests against trump" people became the "these protests against trump are bad optics" people so quickly you may have missed it

They keep talking about punishing protestors as if this country wasn’t FOUNDED BY PROTESTERS WHO ENSHRINED THE RIGHT TO PROTEST, I AM SO TIRED OF HOW STUPID THINGS HAVE BECOME

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Democracy over Autocracy Constitution over Corruption Rule of Law over Dictatorial Decree This Saturday, June 14th, all Americans coast-to-coat need to take to the streets in peaceful protest & stand up to Trump's attempt at tyranny. #NoKingsDay History is watching. Pass it on.

House and Senate leaders should demand resignations from both Major General Pat Work, the 82nd Airborne Division commander, and Colonel Chad Mixon, the Fort Bragg garrison commander. This was possibly the most partisan speech ever delivered by a commander-in-chief to U.S. troops.
