Can someone in immigration law explain to me how this is legal?

It never ceases to amaze me the way people can lament the death of innocent people in one location and justify or even celebrate it in another.

Does anyone else feel as if Trump is goading us to violence? I can't figure out what the right response is to that. I wonder, will there come a flashpoint, a moment when we know it's go time?

The only time the good guys are wearing a mask is during a pandemic.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Now that the baby has been put to bed the grownups can get down to business.

We're at the stage where we are desensitized to being desensitized.

Who had it on their doomsday bingo card that Amy Comey Barrett would be the difference between Democracy and Dictator? Mad respect, truly.

PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

That was the foremost thought in my head. Where are the military bands?! Why are these people so clueless? I mean,dear God, planners, do a Google search, watch some videos. A military parade is nothing without the beating drums.

I've got my hands full debunking false posts on FB; has anyone seen any figures on how many other countries joined in the US protests?

It's hard to wrap my head around the words "serious fighter" when the things they "fight" for are so mean, ugly, and destructive. If those are your goals, then yep, he's seriously fighting.

No word yet on the construction workers rounded up at Home Depot? Or the daycare workers? The restaurant workers?

Dystopian.

Nine years ago today, 49 lives were taken in a horrific attack against Orlando’s Latino and LGBTQ+ communities. Today we remember the victims of the pulse nightclub shooting and resolve to keep fighting for a future where all Americans are free from the threat of gun violence.

Yes. I do believe that Trump is fed an alternate reality.

Everyone who fought for the Confederacy was willing to put their life on the line to preserve the "way of life" where white people could own black people.

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

Keep standing, everyone everywhere all at once.

posted this last July. couldn’t believe i was seeing people cheering for this and waving signs in the air. these people are fucking sick.

It's worth reposting every time I see it.

Absolutely.

The courts are holding the line more than I dared dream they would. This is not a small thing in these times.

I need inspiration. What are you all wearing and putting on your sign for No Kings Day protests on June 14th?

What is the cost of sending National Guard and active duty Marines to Los Angeles, where they are not needed? What is this political theater costing taxpayers? Talk about WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE.

So, Lyft?

ICE targets immigrants. RFK Jr targets the disabled, elderly & vulnerable. The whole regime targets marginalized people, those living in poverty and LGBTQ+ individuals. They’re targeting everyone who they’ve deemed “less than”. Everyone is expendable under fascism. It comes for all eventually.

This is sort of what happened with DOGE. They were convinced there was a mountain of easily-detectable waste and fraud that a handful of folks equipped with "common sense" could root out & eliminate in a manner of weeks. And there wasn't. But they had promised headlines about big cuts...

This is disturbing video of a team of mounted LAPD officers trampling a protester with their ~1500 lb horses while beating him with long batons. Trampled for exercising their Constitutional rights while protecting others' rights. Contact your Rep & Senators and demand investigations & action now.

Even with Trump as president, my blood pressure feels half what it was when I was on twitter.

If you’ve never seen this, PROPUBLICA released a real-time timeline of every user of the app PARLER that MAGA used to livestream their experiences on Jan 6, 2021. You get on-the-ground livestreams all day from Trump’s speech to inside the Capitol attack. projects.propublica.org/parler-capit...

I mean . . . what?! We live in the weirdest times.

Ok this gives the alt captain America in the captain falcon show a different weight
