This guy is just posted up outside of Congress and I’m honestly not sure what his political views are but I agree

Someday, somewhere, people will learn the whole story about ICE and children will ask how everyone could let that happen

People accusing me of doomerism for this and yet the most consistent reply is a fatalistic “what elections?” There will be elections because more than power Trump needs glory. And there will be absolutely untold levels of voter suppression and intimidation to ensure one outcome.

I want to talk about how the media is going to be responsible for increasing levels of violence. Here's the thing: the protests have been peaceful.

i don't think we should keep litigating 2024 but this is absolutely second degree downstream of joe biden fucking up everything on gaza

Biden wasn't interested in anything except doing the bare minimum to make it through his presidency. He didn't give a shit about being president. I'm being entirely sincere.

BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders Trump to "return control of the California National Guard" to CA Gov. Newsom, finding that Trump's order taking control was illegal because it did not follow the required procedure. The order is stayed until noon Friday. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

this 48-second video of a protest in ontario, california is top-tier storytelling 🤌🏽🤌🏽

A key Obama—and Harris—strategist is going to work for a crypto scam (he worked at Uber before). It’s emblematic of how corrupt the Democratic Party is at an institutional level. The path to a more free, more fair, more just country requires a new political system that enables new parties.

I am begging for White folks to STOP spreading this kind of information because you will get people killed. If Violence starts breaking out, you exit as safely as possible and defend yourself if necessary. You do not sit down or urge others to do so at the risk of great bodily risk including DEATH.

there shouldn't be a single uncontested race in 2025, this is bananas

BTW, our new guide on protesting safely in the age of surveillance is unpaywalled. From phone safety tips to just how much law enforcement can track your movements, take a look at the guide:

HERE IS A THING that EVERY American can do: 1. Call your Senator. 2. Say the following: "I am requesting that you place a hold on the nomination of Bill Essayli as U.S. Attorney for the Central District of CA for directing federal agents to assault a U.S. Senator." 3. Call other Senator, repeat

Nobody who refuses to fight for themselves is going to fight for you.

Rep. Pat Ryan: "Mr. Secretary, I don't say this lightly but I have to say this on the record: I think your tenure as Secretary of Defense has been shameful and weak and you should resign."

Says the guy who cut off House Impeachment Managers' attempt to put on witnesses at Trump's Senate trial (following his second impeachment related to January 6) because he wanted to get home for Valentine's Day.

Really hate this, to be totally honest with you. Hate that we have a government run by sociopaths and clowns dedicated to raising their public profile through cruelty. Hate the knowledge that the opposition party will never do anything to protect anybody, even themselves.

@lujan.senate.gov, what's YOUR excuse? Your daddy had a spine. He'll be spinning in his grave knowing that you're constantly voting to enable this Nazi regime.

@heinrich.senate.gov, WTF? What is WRONG with you? Start doing your job standing up to Nazis instead of coming up here for fashion shoots and fawning media coverage. No one cares about your rugged Western shirt. YOUR JOB IS TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THIS NAZI REGIME ON EVERY FRONT.

Reposting this for no particular reason

Governor JB Pritzker said to Rep. Mary Miller: "I am not going to be lectured to by somebody who extols the virtue of Hitler." Finally, someone says it to their faces.

don't give democrats a penny, donate to bail funds for protestors instead

Train full of tanks just passed through our little Arkansas town, heading east.

quicker to just say "I don't follow any trans people"

For anyone who doesn't know "Article 8" is the European Convention on Human Rights right to a private life This is the head of the EHRC saying that she does not believe that *anyone* has the right to privacy when it comes to being trans or cis Brazenly immoral, legally untrue

[narrator's voice] It was not, in fact, a tough one.

The #LAPD has been recorded targeting journalists with less-lethal munitions, advancing on protesters while swinging their batons and repeatedly trampling with horses a downed protester. Such behavior appears to contradict agency use-of-force policy. capitalandmain.com/police-viole...

Pretty sure my dog has no awareness of his size.

An entire lineage of influenza B viruses literally went extinct due to COVID mitigation measures and people will still say “masks don’t work”

As many of us people who study or work in tech tried to tell y’all, move fast & break things was always about POWER, not progress.

I say this with love: I understand that a lot of people didn't expect the fascists to militarily occupy an opposition stronghold. And yet, it is what people SHOULD have expected. It is what Trump tried to do in 2020, when institutionalists held him back. Those institutionalists are gone.

People who call what is happening in LA a “distraction” really need to trip over a fucking tear gas container. The authoritarianism is the entire point.

“No one is illegal on stolen land” ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 YES

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

I’ve seen a few variations of this making the rounds. I like this one best. I don’t know who the original artist is but thank you to them.

The idea that the progressive left used the internet to bully institutions into accepting unpopular, far-left positions is the exact opposite of what has actually happened. The alt-right used the internet for ideological capture and they are now in the White House bragging about it daily

Yeah I’m woke but I’m not “Greta Thunberg didn’t speak out enough about Gaza as a 10 year old” woke.
