This is how you normalize authoritarianism.

Why accountability matters: “Civilians have impersonated ICE agents while committing robbery (Pennsylvania), kidnappings (Florida, South Carolina), sexual assault (North Carolina) and other forms of public intimidation (Washington state, California). Opinion”

Seth gets it

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

Well we still have famine to look forward to. How great for us.

Double.

The LA rioters are out of hand. I've been watching social media and Fox News and I'm telling you they've burned that same Waymo taxi like 50 times now.

These cases--where ICE assaults someone and then ratchets up false claims against them to cover up their own crimes--are connected to the political cases, especially David Huerta, where ICE charged a felony after injuring a prominent union leader.

Maybe the best songwriter of the rock era. RIP.

Being uninvited from the White House caused Rand Paul to lose a lot of the respect he had for Donald Trump that Trump’s two impeachments, insurrection, four criminal indictments, criminal conviction, and sexual abuse damages verdict did not cause him to lose. Got it.

Investigations are now underway into officers and ICE agents who fired crowd-control munitions at dangerously close range. In case after case, the situation only escalated when force was used against peaceful protesters.

A boat transporting individuals to a Telemundo party celebrating one year out from the World Cup was boarded by the coast guard. They checked the immigration status of the staff on the boat. The mayor of Miami-Dade, FIFA officials, and Telemundo leadership were present.

Zohran is up. Keep going.

Maybe I was wrong about Grok. You can sic it on ghouls?! Brilliant.

🔥 @repstansbury.bsky.social : “The deployment of Marines against American citizens is a disgusting abuse of power. There is no legal basis for it.”

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

“You have made progress.” “You are not a danger to yourself or others.” The denial letter from Geneva Moore’s insurer directly contradicted her therapist’s words. Cut off from her treatment program, Moore slid into a monthslong downward spiral. (Published Dec. 2024)

look who learned what 86 means

Well this is awkward

LAFD in solidarity with the protesters supporting LA residents. ✊🏻

ICE GOES TO THE FIELDS AT 6 AM - to seize workers and take them away - more and more examples of the fascist I brown shirts - starting w/ farm workers -https://abc7.com/post/ice-agents-chase-farm-workers-flee-fields-during-latest-raid-ventura-county/16719564/

ABC News can’t fire California Gov. Gavin Newsom for telling the truth about Stephen Miller.

Gavin Newsom is so incredibly annoying because he is unbearable like 90% of the time but the other 10% he cooks so hard that you can’t help but give it to him

We’re in the streets in downtown Chicago.

BREAKING: ICE is preparing to deploy tactical units to five cities run by Democratic leaders, according to two sources familiar with the planning of future ICE operations.

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

unlike Vietnam or Afghanistan at least the Marines coming to.L.A. know exactly what this fight is all about

US Military: You can refuse illegal orders. GI Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487 girightshotline.org “…we have gotten calls on the GI Rights Hotline from service members concerned about having to police the US-Mexican border and/or police demonstrations in the US.” #USpol #NationalGuard #USMC

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

The EPA wants to eliminate regulations on PFAS, toxic ‘forever chemicals’ that contaminate the environment and cause serious health risks like cancer.

You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

A total outrage. A judge needs to dismiss this at the first opportunity. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Always an Onion article.

i think southern baptists should probably consider a ban on being led by child predators

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."
