Clyburn, Hoyer, and Pelosi really need to go away forever

Dumpsters attract raccoons, dead zebras attract hyenas, and huge stores of data will inevitably attract Elon Musk and violence-minded feds. And that's why I think data minimization is really important, as I explain in this newsletter article: little-flying-robots.ghost.io/a-brief-ode-...

An American president told a city of 10 million people to evacuate it immediately as he urgently leaves the G7 to fly to DC and then … nothing. But people still treat him as if he isn’t insane and a threat to everyone. Oh, and Biden was old.

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?

Bluesky is now culture war grounds, & we have to be prepared and adjust for that — aggressively defend your peace and your space here… block, mute, use labelers, limit your interaction settings, do what you gotta do and help each other new clients, new tools, new apps are coming that will help more

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.

SCOOP: The "Appeal To Heaven" flag, a popular symbol for Christian nationalists that was waved by January 6 rioters, was raised over the Small Business Administration headquarters last week.

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.

Javier Bardem went so hard on the genocide of Palestinians that the View had to cut to commercial break

Look forward to Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem's Trial at the Hague for crimes against humanity. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-step...

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.

I doubt anyone will see me post, but this needs to be known... if you have a visible following please repost 💙🔥💙 Admitting he wants "his people... aka US " to behave like north Korea for Kim Jong Un.🤬

(1,10) Never thought my Father’s Day message would begin with the quote below, but these are unusual and dangerous times. "We will shoot you graveyard dead." As I get ready to leave now for a graveyard visit with my daughter Jaime, because of gun violence, those words directly from Florida’s

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.

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

Every riot Every riot EVERY riot is a police riot

Fairly large turnout in #FortWorth today for the #nokings #protest This regime must be brought down, they must be held to account for their crimes!

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 )

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

Not all SHeros wear capes! Brava to this woman at the Kennedy Center as she reminds the felon & those in the audience exactly who he is. #TrumpIsAConvictedFelon

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.

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

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

Rep. Lynch absolutely spat fire in his opening statement at today’s hearing on “sanctuary states.” At around -3:28 here. www.c-span.org/event/house-...

We’re at the “stormtroopers arrest a senator” mark of Andor.
