I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

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:

They want to throw a new generation of working-class people into the meat grinder of war for access to shipping lanes and rare earth minerals. Fuck these war pigs. apnews.com/article/hegs...

You do not need answers you cowardly fool. What happened was extremely clear. What you and your colleagues need to do is fight back in every way at your disposal, and then some. Start by promoting immediate impeachment for fascist scum Trump and Noem. Make that the main topic of conversation.

I hope my fellow European citizens are taking a good look at what happens when we elect authoritarian governments. I'm sick of the "we didn't know, we couldn't have predicted" rhetoric. People voted for that. Since the Hungarian example does not seem to be enough.

During the George Floyd protests in Seattle, Fox News literally ran "digitally altered and misleading photos" of people wearing masks and guns. Manufacturing consent through Photoshop. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

there's been some extremely fucked up single occurrence events over the last week, but Noem admitting on camera their explicit plans/goals to take over california and usurp its leadership moments before violently having a sitting congressman get arrested by beat cops seems like a big one #political

happy pride!! 🌈 #dragonage

“The downtrodden _will_ be protected, the oppressed _will_ live proudly, and those who have been wronged _will_ find new life.” This is why I fucking love this game. It is a full-hearted, gorgeous swan song.

It's wild how if you take the arc of Andor as a series, the Empire acts consistently less evil, less oppressive, and less violent than real-life Israel does - yet the various groups of resistance and opposition absolutely feel justified in their many forms of fighting the Empire.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

I want to post about weird video games and all this fucking fascism keeps happening

One truth we truly need to rally around is the uncomfortable but undeniable fact that Republican Party is best described as a hate group.

i really liked the drums bit #deltarune

They SAY that travelling to and from work is allowed, but they have been ACTIVELY SHOOTING AND ARRESTING such individuals. Time to wake the fuck up, America. Aren't we supposed to be FREE?

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

I am once again fucking BEGGING YALL STOP SREADING SUBSTACKS STOP PROMOTING SUBSTACKS STOP MAKING SUBSTACKS

"On many of the most consequential issues – Israel, immigration, policing – the Democrats are not resisting Trumpism. They are participating in it. A centre-right party that shares core positions with its far-right opponent cannot mount real opposition." www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Democrats: The handcuffing of Alex Padilla is outrageous! Also Democrats: Protesters, we can offer you a liberal selection of repression & injuries via tear gas canisters, rubber-coated steel bullets, foam-tipped bullets, beanbag rounds, horse charges, & baton beatings. We're fighting (for) you!

🐸🎵 #ffxiv these sunglasses are for fashion baby <crying behind them>

guy at the print shop i've used for the past year saw my Palestine flag pin and started crying. I didn't know he was Gazan. I don't usually wear pins and stuff, because I didn't know that wearing a pin like that would affect someone so deeply.

Democrats are obsessed with the phrase “we need answers.” Answers on what!? It’s all on film, man. There are no remaining questions.

the "experts" are: —two guys from something called the Network Contagion Research Institute which only punches left and is funded by an Israeli surveillance entrepreneur —a grad student who disagrees with the premise of the article —a guy from CSIS, which has zero expertise in domestic policy

This is Kristi Noem admitting that Homeland Security is currently occupying Los Angeles, not to protect citizens, but for purely *political* reasons. Yes, she really is that stupid.

this is a good wake up call for elected Dems to realize what’s happening and what’s going to happen not generally, not in the abstract, but to them personally shut it all down and start acting like you’re in immediate danger, because you are

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

If they’ll do this to you for doing the absolute bare minimum of opposition then you might as well go all out

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THESE WERE MADE AND NEVER USED!?!??

god it feels so weird to believe in a political candidate wholeheartedly in 2025.

Yeah it's really something to see a U.S. senator being hit with the same impossible compliance demands that the cops scream at people before shooting them during a stop

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

I can't explain to you how wild it is to be in LA right now. National news is covering protests as riots, even though the violence is coming from the LEO side. It's chaos, but also totally quiet here in my neighborhood. Kristi Noem's saying she's gonna liberate us & they just arrested my Senator.

If the federal government is decreeing an end to self governance, an end to both state and local authority, then where are we? What is left to be said and done?

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

My five year old got gassed at a soccer game tonight.

The best outcome for the US right now is that the protests continue to expand and become too big to contain, Trump spends a few more days pretending to be a tough guy, then he gets bored and spends the next week picking a fight with Turner Classic Movies over their schedule.

Trump's use of piecemeal force in LA, a few hundred guardsmen standing around doing nothing, is less an act of consolidating power or tyrannical takeover, and more a weak and fearful man desperate to show the people who say nice things about him on TV that he's "doing something."

Mass pickets blocked ICE in the bay area. "Several hundred showed up to defend our immigrant friends, family and coworkers. Organized picket lines blocked all the entrances, refusing to let federal agents get away with abducting members of our communities." speakoutsocialists.org/bay-area-pro...

Zohran is up. Keep going.

For the sixth day in a row, hundreds of anti-ICE protesters are marching through downtown LA in opposition to recent immigration raids.

The Las Vegas Metro Police department has declared an "unlawful assembly" downtown, at Las Vegas Boulevard and Clark, to shut down the ICE protest that's been going on for hours. A dispersal order has been issued and they're going to start arresting protesters.
