Those who keep saying “I just want to have a nuanced discuss about USAID”…. USAID has already been taken out back and shot. What nuanced discussion do you want to have about an agency that is already dead, and whose death is currently causing immense global suffering?

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.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

If your candidate isn't prepared to do this right here, then they are not prepared for the fight ahead. Bottom line. If you think your rep would stand in the way of ICE, you got a good one. If you think your rep wants to "work across the aisle" they're a Republican grifting you.

It was illegal to help fugitives flee enslavement in the 1800s. It was illegal to help Jewish People escape the Holocaust. It is currently illegal to help immigrants stay safe from ICE.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

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.

Arturo Obrego, a 77-year-old army veteran who hitchiked from Huntington Beach is going viral for getting hit with wooden baton by officers on horses and knocked down during today’s peaceful “No Kings” protest in DTLA. @TheGlutster ran into him at Union Station a couple of hours after the incident.

Hey @mayor.lacity.gov this is what the cops under your control started. If you want the protests to remain peaceful, then get control of the cops who are starting the violence.

I'm in the minority, and maybe a small one, but I think these administrative stays are genuinely harmful and should not be treated as routine. A federal court has ruled that a dramatic step of national significance was illegal and unconstitutional. It ruled. 1/

They’ll never say we were right about the GOP. They have to insist the GOP changed somehow. . . it’s just a coincidence that they’ve shown themselves to be exactly who we’ve been saying they were for decades. Funny that.

The thing about "winning the middle" in order to make a big tent is that it fails, not only in practical reality, but as a metaphor. Think of a big round carnival tent, like in Bugs Bunny cartoons. Picture it from the top. Big circle. Got it? www.the-reframe.com/winning-the-...
