"Not for you." Palestinian citizens of Israel--21% of the population--are being excluded from bomb shelters on the basis of their ethnicity. This is the society the West will defend at all costs. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

if we replaced the entire Democratic Party with about 40 people who have ever had a real job we would have a better shot at keeping the right wing from destroying the country

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Hadn’t heard about this but it’s pretty fucked up, and looks an awful lot like Congress enthusiastically ceding its own power to be consolidated under this and only this executive.

While Mike Lee and Steve Daines' Senate Natural Resources Committee amendment to the budget reconciliation package mandates the sale of up to 3.3 million acres of public land, what most people miss is that it also authorizes the sale of 258 million acres. That's 40 percent of all public land:

Pissed off about that disgraceful NYT hit piece on Zohran Mamdani and his visionary campaign? Take it to the voters! I'm kicking off a phone bank *tomorrow at 6 pm ET* with NYC's next mayor. Join us! volunteer.zohranfornyc.com/phonebank-fo... (fixed link)

🧵 NYC: Zohran Mamdani is an extraordinary political talent and he CAN win this. What a signal that would send to the country and to the world. If you have been on the fence, this is the moment to go all in.

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

Hortman was a catholic who ensured children got fed and her killer was in a psycho church that demanded violent prayer and guess which one is getting the"Christian" coverage

Abroad the U.S. is in the verge of bombing a country without cause. At home masked agents are arresting officials and disappearing our people. There is no disentangling war overseas and fascism at home. Everyone who opposes fascism must oppose Trump illegally attacking Iran.

Israel committed another massacre at a food center in Gaza

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

See which of YOUR public lands congress wants to sell off to the rich www.wilderness.org/articles/med...

They cut everything to the bone. People's kids are going hungry. National parks are under threat. All under the pretense of necessity. And then millions are spent on this? A party no one came to? Restoring every DOGE cut and employee line is my #1 demand for whatever elections come next.

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Fortunate Son played over a military parade of obviously checked-out soldiers, marching out of sync to stroke the ego of a real estate mogul turned president who dodged the draft the song was written in criticism of. I have already become the joker.

This last week is a real demonstration of how capacious, yet flattened the word "violent" is in our political discourse. Political assassinations are obviously, clearly violent. But the same word has been used all week to describe protestors damaging objects--not people, objects.

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

When the fuck is mainstream media going to wake up and talk about how anyone who talks about “Antifa” is just trying to distract from their own “fa” nature? Seriously need to have a non-stop barrage of coverage about the lunatic fringe that is emboldened by this administration.

I'm praying for ICE agents today. May they not know a moment's peace until they quit, and seek amends. May their children revile them. May their parents regret them. May they know they deserve the hatred and distrust of their countrymen. And may all their tomatoes be underripe and flavorless.

i feel it is worth pointing out that Christians United For Israel, a single maniacal christian zionist organization, has more members than there are jews in the united states

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

This isn’t North Korea. This is America. And it’s terrifying.

<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.

Stephen Miller’s unhinged rage goes straight back to the utter impossibility of his goal: making America white. It can’t be done. So he lashes out with sadistic attacks on Los Angeles and, of course, innocent immigrants. www.salon.com/2025/06/11/s...

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way. She was confirmed, 59-34. The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.

A panel of antivaxxers in charge of vaccine recommendations, approvals, and insurance coverage…to gatekeep vaccines from Americans. The goal has always been to take away all vaccines, and it is disgraceful that so many in the media and in power pretended it could ever be anything but that. For shame

What would you say if you saw it in another country? A senator from a coequal branch of government dragged away by security from asking a question of a Cabinet official

Note the point @padilla.senate.gov was making when he was assaulted by Noem's team: That she keeps cycling thru six cases as her justification for the gulag.

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

Florida child welfare officers found a 17-year-old living in a shed with no food or water. They sent him to a foster home... and then reported him to ICE, whereupon he was handcuffed and shackled and marched to detention. Not only is that victimizing him again, it violates Florida's own rules.

Wow. Watch this from Zohran Mamdani. It looks like the exact "fight" and "conviction" people are hopelessly asking for from the people in charge of the Democratic party:

It'd be a terrible thing if this tipline were flooded with reports of the invasive plants and animals across these United States. In Illinois in particular, it would be just awful if they got a bunch of calls about Black carp, Spiny water flea, and Zebra mussel. Not to mention the Buckthorn!

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024
