Sometimes I think the “this is just a distraction” crowd just can’t handle the chaos, and that’s their way of cooping. But this is our reality. All of it. We don’t get to pick one crisis at a time. Walk and chew gum.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

this is genuinely insane. we’re going to need to jail people involved with this administration

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

Greta Thunberg has been kidnapped by Israeli forces

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

I don't think it's necessarily immoral or illegitimate to use violence for political reasons. But, there are tons of reasons why we should seek to maintain non-violent discipline as part of a mass civil resistance struggle. Movements win with mass participation. Violence decreases participation.

Somebody tell Gavin Newsom that ICE is going to sleep on the sidewalk.

Judge Xinis must have scared the sh*t out of Rubio, Noem, Bondi in Wednesday's Discovery conference bc they produced Abrego Garcia in 48 hrs. That very day, she unsealed docs the Govt wanted hidden but the news media asked to see - back on May 6th! 🔥 Did she suggest more docs weren't privileged? 🎉

Leader of @seiuca.bsky.social was almost murdered by ICE. He now faces charges. The union, one of the largest in the US, is calling for a demonstration on Monday.

All we want is healthcare.

🚨BREAKING: A military Blackhawk helicopter is unloading dozens of boxes of weapons and ammunition in Los Angeles “as if they were getting ready for a major battle.”

This beautiful book has been banned. So I got my copy #ReadBannedBooks

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

Meanwhile Portlanders tie up police phone lines trying to get ICE to detain local homeless that dare take up a parking space (/s but may as well be true)

i don't want to dunk on any of the people who replied or quoted this with a "well ackshully the national guard will shoot protesters, look at kent state," but my request is to a) remember that kent state was over half a century ago and b) read about the NG's response in its aftermath

California Protesters throw rocks at ICE

The images today are chilling. Tanks being moved into DC while ICE drives through protesters and barricades.

Bernie, you rascal! You’re spot on here.

There's a person on Twitter who for years ended every single tweet, easily thousands of them, with "Moreover, lCE must be abolished" and I've never seen someone so vindicated in their commitment

Uhh... so a creepy lawyer whose client died extremely suspiciously just 200 hours after he showed up is saying one of the first things he demanded of his new client was a statement on whether he could hurt Trump? And then he quickly became...Trump’s lawyer? Is he confessing to a crime here, or...?

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

Whether it was Hitler and Röhm in the Night of the Long Knives, or Trump and Musk in the Day of the Short Stumps, both sets of fascist leaders had their moments of strife.

This is a threat, I believe, and is why Elon seems to have "cooled down." He is a dead man walking &needs to turn himself into the ICC, be imprisoned for his safety, testify (& testimony aired publicly), put his family on witness protection- or he is dead. kyivindependent.com/moscow-ready...
