live from the huge spontaneous anti-ICE protest after the agency used military-style tactics during a series of raids in Los Angeles today.

Republicans really stickin' it to their supposed enemies in "big tech"

In case anyone forgot Ro Khanna was the one vote needed to subpoena Elon months ago and he dodged the vote

"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

So they know where the guy is but no one has bothered to arrest him?

reminder to bystanders to focus on getting plate numbers and clear as possible photos of faces/tattoos

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS *also* grants the Trump administration's request to pause discovery in CREW's effort to challenge the structure (and identify the leadership) of DOGE, again over public dissents from the three Democratic appointees: www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

“Flock has been broadening its product offering for police to include drones, gunshot detection and a new software suite called Nova, which draws in information from police databases to make connections between suspects, properties or any other notable aspect of an investigation.”

This is a lolsuit. Four Bivens claims that are nothing like Bivens, and a malicious prosecution claim that isn't viable because they were actually convicted

Kinda torn about Ukraine possibly losing Starlink.

Still hear the 8 track click over, absolutely abused in the car by my parents with this. Need to bring up Bread in therapy www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0KX...

here's the thing: if you're going to pundit on what is and is not meaningful politically, you should put forward a theory of political change that guides your analysis. if you aren't punditing, report the news and let people decide what matters.

Yes, there's a lot of concern abt street fighters like Proud Boys in ICE ranks. And a lot of unhelpful rumors swirling. That is why it doesn't help when you concoct claims like "Minnesota ICE agent believed to be PB" based on a receipt-free screen of someone saying they're prob a KKK member. (Cont)

NEW: On Thursday, Comptroller Brad Lander joined the court-watchers at 290 Broadway, one of the city's three federal immigration court buildings, and walked with immigrants away from their court appearances in order to deter ICE agents from abducting them. hellgatenyc.com/lander-accom...

I specialize in male toxicity. All of these men - RFK Jr, Hawley, Makary - are more dangerous to women than mifepristone.

meanwhile, in Tokyo

This is so funny. Chris Murphy is a SENATOR. You FUCKING KEEP TELLING PEOPLE YOU CANNOT STOP THIS BILL. Shut the hell up. If people lose their health care, it has more to do your useless asses than a *made for Twitter* fight. Loser.

Don't BE DISTRACTED they scream at regular people. DISTRACTED FROM WHAT, SENATOR? What's the CONCRETE PLAN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS OFFERED TO STOP PEOPLE FROM LOSING THEIR HEALTHCARE?

i’ve been sent this footage of an MPD officer on east lake st during the federal action on 6/3 turning around and shoving a person who was filming him

meta is spying on android users' browsing data in an even sleazier and sneakier way than previously known this is the stuff you get when you live in a country that's too corrupt to pass a modern privacy law

Something I’m enjoying is watching the right try and make this situation “masculine” when it is two extremely catty and weak-seeming people having a petty, messy and passive aggressive argument in public, refusing to talk to each other at all

Ego Dissolution and Affective Capture: Ketamine as a Neurochemical Vector in the Hyperreal Intensification of Poster’s Madness and the Destabilization of Transnational Coalition Assemblages

Tesla is worth about 35-50 bucks a share lol

“Poster’s Madness” is now a structural theory of international politics and domestic coalition-maintenance and degradation. Throw out that IR degree.

This is like a Red Sox-Yankees game

bsky equivalent of Beast Quake

I think I just got a Bluesky timeout/error message WE ARE SO BACK

Someone get on Twitch and do a play by play
