The suspect had a rifle in his bag and an alert bystander spotted it, grabbed the bag when the suspect wasn’t paying attention, and called for help. Absolutely incredible stuff. Video from www.reddit.com/r/GuysBeingD...

How to stop authoritarian takeovers, 6 simple lessons from history: 1. Build a broad pro-democracy coalition. No purity politics. Learn to work with people who annoy you. You can go back to dunking on them after democracy is safe.

At this point, any masked individual with no ID posing as law enforcement must be seen as a potential murderer. Trump and his Republican cronies bear direct responsibility for this.

The absolute cringe of the right-wing pearl-clutching over a 40% Latino city waving Mexican flags at protests when they themselves jerk off to the Confederate (loser) flag and never once complain about Israeli flags being displayed...

If you are confronted by any privileged, entitled old white men experiencing a meltdown over the humanitarian actions of a 22yo female champion and legend, the Greta Thunberg Helpline is still operational and still taking calls. Please refer anyone in need. ☎️

They're targeting migrants on their way to work, they're raiding construction sites, farms to snatch workers. They're taking HS students, mothers w/ babies, asylum seekers. These are decent, hardworking tax-paying families being destroyed so private contractors can get rich off deportations.

@laurentomasi.bsky.social are you OK after yesterday's shooting? Will you be filing a complaint?

In other news, any Democrats that is incapable of speaking up passionately and directly against this fascist Trump regime should not be taken seriously as a present or future leader. The age of timidity and complicity and fecklessness is over. There's a vacancy for leadership and fighters.

how to be a responsible news consumer: A) don’t just scroll, click through. B) subscribe to papers/magazines/whatever C) Do not ask anyone to “find a Tik Tok that is not on Tik Tok.” You can see them on desktop without installing app D) not my job or anybody’s job to Google things for you, ffs

PSA: Do not let the Elon Musk and Donald Trump feud distract you from the fact that both have collaborated to rob us of basic healthcare, basic civil rights, and basic economic security—while lining the pockets of billionaires.

Resolution Copper is blocking comments and hiding replies from anyone calling out what they’re doing at Oak Flat. They’re trying to mine on sacred Native American land, with the government’s help, and don’t want the public to push back.

Trump's crypto-grifto dinner was a villains' lair! Here's a rundown of who was trying to buy his favor (that we know of)! www.wonkette.com/p/trumps-cry...

The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR. Appeasement and complicity do not work. When you bend the knee, they’ll break your leg.

The UFW and dozens of supporters rally in Brooklyn NY to demand the release of farm workers detained by ICE in upstate NY earlier this month.
