#NoKings. #NoThugs.

I think about this a lot

Fuck ICE. Trump is trying to start a civil war, or at least some sort of crisis which will allow him to become a dictator. Fascism is here. It's been here. What are YOU gonna do about it? youtu.be/ci6NbuHdg_Q?...

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.

Afterwards, Sen. Padilla framed what happened in exactly the right way: "If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question...I can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers, in Los Angeles & throughout California & the country."

God has the opportunity to do the funniest thing www.thetimes.com/us/american-...

"It's my people today and yours tomorrow! Remember this day! Remember Ghorman!"

also why the fuck is the homeland security posting about "liberals" and not homeland security it's utterly fascinating how it's pure schmittian will among the GOP now

#alternatehistory What if, in 1857, Slave catchers spark major protests in a major northern city like Boston and Buchanan responds by sending in Federal troops as a show of strength. Totally unconnected to current events just thought it was a neat original idea.

I think this ties into a point one realizes when they read Military theory or study political science: The Star Wars galaxy is actually hella underdeveloped in both. Not all that surprising when you consider the galaxy has largely been at peace for millennia.

Thing I need all Dems at every level to absorb yesterday: if someone pulls a knife on you, you are in a knife fight, whether or not you want to be

#alternatehistory Bush won the 2000 election in part due to the supreme court's choice in his favor. But what if just one judge voted in favor of Gore? An Alternate World explores the possibility of a world that could've, and maybe even should have, been youtu.be/HUvi5gSYBdo

Boosting this thread 🧵in the hope that it helps demonstrators stay safe around the country.

Congress does not function, it's the root cause of much that is wrong with our politics, and that is partly because of poor design but also because members have been shirking responsibility for decades now

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.

"Police Riot" really is a phrase that should be used more often these days www.thenation.com/article/acti...

"White." He means he'll make LA white again.

Well, we all saw this bs coming.

<thread> Hegseth expands Guard's orders dramatically today Declaration by California Military Department (CMD) Deputy GC: "CMD was informed ... Guard units would be providing support for counter-immigration operations across Los Angeles, in communities during immigration enforcement operations..."

Brand-new polling from YouGov out this AM finds Trump's actions re: LA underwater. Double-digit disapproval on sending in Marines. This should be a reality check for those people arguing the protests inherently help Trump bc his immigration approval # is positive. today.yougov.com/topics/polit...

The president has declared that any Americans exercising their right to protest — not committing violence, just voicing their opinion — will be met with a “very heavy force”

Mfw I say "both sides suck" but only when it's the GOP being criticized and I'm dead silent or in agreement when the Dems are being criticized.

Its because 99% of the time "I'm not very political" is code for "I got some extremely conservative views, but I don't want to upset my liberal audience."

Either there is equality for all or there is equality for none.

"A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles" That's the America I was raised to believe in. That's the America worth fighting to save.

Andor Season 2 came out at a great time.

THESE MOTHERFUCKERS

I presume this is next Monday? Otherwise, I missed another chance to head down to Detroit it seems.

guys will be like "these people are ruining america" and it'll be a picture of the coolest guys ever

I can’t believe Ukraine is fighting a dirty war by hitting bombers with bombs in a sneaky way while Russia fights so cleanly

Decades of militarization of domestic law enforcement and the general fetishization of martial culture coming home to roost.

I miss Joe
