Can’t believe no one wanted to fly to DC to hang out with tanks and the police

They all look alike

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

Fuck Trump, No Kings, Go Birds

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

@governorwalz.mn.gov: "The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you're overreacting."

The tragedy of it all aside, this is also a clear illustration of how contempt for norms destroys democracy and a free society more generally. It is rational now for *every* US citizen to doubt whether the person claiming to be a police officer is, in fact, genuinely a police officer.

Yeah, this sucks. bsky.app/profile/mich...

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.

I honestly think it’s time for some Dems to start dropping f-bombs. On national television. Let’s start acting like the crisis this is

Gonna lean on the word "burdensome" a bit. These people really, truly, earnestly believe Los Angeles takes more than it gives, b/c a lot of Black people and Latinos live there. Dumbest people alive. We cannot let them win.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

If the feds’ objective is to “liberate” Los Angeles and California from its democratically elected leadership, then this not a peacekeeping mission but a program of invasion.

Consent/appeasement by D members of Congress has been unacceptable from the start. After the Noem press conference, any move towards the middle must be career-ending.

just wildly angry that our country was gullible enough to allow this to happen

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

Literally describing themselves as occupying a blue state like hostile territory with the military and federal forces.

What will you do when authoritarianism comes to America? Because it's here. Right now.

This is fucking outrageous. Unacceptable. Nobody is safe.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

Feels kinda important to point out that if non-citizens are required to carry proof of legal status, then citizens do too by default. This is absolutely insane.

These people think Confederate generals who led thousands of men to their deaths in an armed insurrection to preserve slavery deserve sympathetic consideration of their complex motivations, while protestors who think ICE is getting a bit grabby deserve to get kicked in the head by a police horse.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

this sort of gives the game away. the whole point of the LA deployment is relitigating the dispute (both political and cultural) that the right feels it lost in 2020

Cops-- pathetic. Fuck off. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/youre-a-bu...

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie is donating $50 million to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Penn Medicine to establish the Lurie Autism Institute for autism research and treatment.

So, Natl Guard does something stupid (again), crowd reacts, Natl Guard/LAPD overreacts (again). When do the Marines jump in? And where are they jumping?
