Imagine putting on all this tactical gear and latching onto a military assault vehicle so you can storm a minimall on Sepulveda and apprehend a line cook at family restaurant.

State repression of peaceful protests can subject activists to injury and even death but—when broadcast to the world through media—often turns mass opinion against the state. bsky.app/profile/owas...

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

Hang in there Los Angeles.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

Today: Tanks are being moved en masse into DC. Trump is deploying a state national guard over a governor’s objection to police protests. Trump threatened a major donor with “severe consequences” if they support his political opponents. If you’re still wondering what time it is, read this again

Three rescuers were killed by Russia in Kyiv last night.They rushed to strike sites to help people,were hit by repeated strike. Pavlo Iezhor,Danylo Skadin,Andrii Remennyi.Eternal memory to Ukrainian Heroes. Nine more rescuers were injured in Kyiv,five more were injured in Ternopil region

Stunning result for Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. It deserves to be boycotted forever more. #auspol

I hope they never stop tweeting. My god.

So tragic and evil 🇺🇦

Every time you read an article that describes the increase in behaviour & social issues in school-aged kids over the last five years, and blames it on “school closures, phones, parent stress, etc”, remember this. Paediatricians, GPs, parents do NOT have a good understanding of covid’s effects.

Evergreen article: theweek.com/articles/737... These are not bumbling statesmen who are failing they are enemies who are succeeding.

Praise the cameraman and this amazing reporter, and the people rallying to stop this evil regime. #FuckTrump

Well, a lot went down last night. Hats off to my American colleagues for holding it down—it was giving flip-phone-in-the-hallway-during-a-high-school-fight vibes. For those of us on the other side of the world who logged off, here's everything we missed. Starting with... the fight. Roll the tape.

Yglesias thinks we should welcome neo-Nazi billionaires into the Democratic Party.

Germany’s Chancellor Merz presented Trump the birth certificate of his German grandfather, Friedrich Trump. It was a clever jab to remind Trump he’s a German immigrant.

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

post through it buddy

Amazing. Respect the lede.

Jack can handle 2 high agency males at once, and it really shows

So viewpoint diversity. Much campus speech. Very marketplace of ideas.

Breakthrough discovery links organ failure to long COVID. "Red blood cells damaged by long COVID and clogging blood vessels have been found to cause organ failure, providing a hard-fought missing link in cardiac science." #LongCOVID Source: archive.md/TrZ32

Unbelievable.

Gov. Walz: “I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected.” www.startribune.com/gov-tim-walz...

Somehow the "We need to support policies that are popular" crowd never land on the very popular polices like "taxing big corporation more," "making health care more affordable," or "paying teachers more." It's always just "be 10% more racist."

Alex Jones, who spent years ranting about shadowy government mass surveillance technology, is now stanning for Palantir

If you’re not sure if you might have ME/CFS (say, you haven’t been feeling right since you had a case of Covid), luckily the diagnostic criteria are clear enough they can be summarized in one tweet!

On ABC this morning, I called out the Shooters new bill for what it is: Game Council 2.0. I remember what the old one was like. It was shocking — riddled with corruption and failure. We can’t let that happen again.

This is depressingly good #auspol > www.lastplaceonearth.com.au/the-wa-disea...

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

I’ve said it many times and I’ll say it again: Gina Rinehart is the Shadow Leader of the Liberal and National parties. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I’m not anti-Israel or anti-Russia, I’m pro-international law, human rights, and fair democracy.

Genuine question. Any chance of getting our $368 billion back & just hiring that Ukrainian team that did the biz in Siberia for like under $100k? 🤔

It’s genuinely hard to believe these articles aren’t satire at this point. It’s not a puzzle. It’s not a mystery. Disability rates are skyrocketing because we’re still in a global pandemic. It’s a mass disabling event that society is ignoring because they wanted to go “back to normal”
