I know data. What controls are used in handling this data? The cascading effects of this incompetent, conspiratorial & lawless administration has irreparably harmed our nation. I don’t have the words to express how bad this is and the precedence it sets. www.cmadocs.org/newsroom/new...

they were always like this. the thing that changed is that the circle of people they felt to have to be respectful to used to include powerful democrats and it no longer does.

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

At some point we gotta start arrest ICE agents for kidnapping

I know it's been said but I keep getting re-infuriated about RFK Jr doing his thing, like we had this vaccines thing *settled*, they rule and they were working and all we had to do was NOT put the worst possible person in charge of the country's public health apparatus.

Sad that that is striking

So I spent 16 mins on this

Democrats Back Resolution Thanking Federal Agents For Handcuffing Alex Padilla theonion.com/democra...

I have so many follow up questions about this. lol

Remember, they're cop riots

tf when you're preemptively "defending yourself" by launching an attack

If Moran had heaped lavish praise on some virulent Nazi influencer with a history of date rape as a "beacon of insightful conservative thought for the intellectual dark web" he would 100% still have a job

absolute insane

amazing how unwilling some people have been to acknowledge this strategy — and based on flimsy assumptions and no data!

It’s day 8 in Occupied California, where there are more troops than the US has in Iraq and Syria combined to oversee protests where the biggest threat is how good the food is.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

New Reuters/Ipsos poll: - 35% of adults approve of Trump’s response to LA protests - 50% disapprove By net +9 adults say the president has “gone too far with arrests of immigrants” Other polls paint similar picture: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/all-the-po...

UPDATE — Minutes before their deadline, the government responds, now says it does *NOT* plan to release Mahmoud Khalil, arguing the judge's Wednesday order left room for them to keep him detained for reasons other than Rubio's faulty "foreign policy" justification.

I actually kinda dislike the framing of "bubble" or "echo chambers" because it implies a lack of access or knowledge of other viewpoints. That's not true. I think a more accurate framing is that different sites have different *cultures*. And... that's kind of normal.

truly bleak that while Padilla was being tackled by Noem's goons, his Dem Senate colleagues were working with Republicans on a bill that would legalize Trump's crypto bribes and touch off a global financial crisis sooner or later prospect.org/politics/202...

BREAKING Islamic Republic of Iran state media, as well as individual Iranians, are reporting that there is heavy air defense activity near Pasteur Square (Meydoon-e Pasteur). Read below for more details.

Most “Bluesky bubble” complaints come across as “I can’t stand leftists, but don’t mind fascists.” Do some people on here suck? Sure. But if you know of an active social network where no one sucks, I’m all ears. And if you think X or Facebook are models of free exchange of ideas, I have questions.

Oh shit! So proud of Tucson right now

And this is covered in the thread, but a major part of the reason that other countries accept the small minority is that those people don’t overlap with a targeted ethnic/religious minority. In a homogenous society, people are more likely to accept that some of us are just Like That

clearly the "democrats can do no wrong, we should rally with liz cheney who calls us baby killers" strategy has been a rousing success

Yet again, we see the majority of communities supporting their libraries as Huntington Beach, CA voters reject their controversial "library review" board amid election awash with disinformation. www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/n...

Pattie Gonia, the park ranger drag queen, and a group called Trans is Natural climbed El Capitan in Yosemite to hang an absolutely massive trans pride flag and it's really fucking cool www.instagram.com/p/DJ7O6RFyoe...

This guy was ready to march on Congress and start a one man J6 because someone left a note on his tesla because of which his son discovered that WW2 once happened but everyone else should hand over their kids to masked men who refuse to ID themselves

Uh, whose fault is this?

sweet mary mother of god

The Illinois secretary of state on Thursday asked for an investigation into a suburban Chicago police department after learning that it violated state law by sharing data from automatic license-plate readers with a Texas sheriff seeking a woman who had an abortion.

This is like arguing that if you’re in a war you shouldn’t point out the soldier who isn’t fighting because it makes him feel bad. Having soldiers who won’t fight and then enabling them is how you lose a war.
