one thing i wish centrists understood is how ghoulishly indifferent they sound when they think they're scolding people in the guise of sophisticated pragmatic tacticians

If we had a functional press the insanity of this would be a week long news cycle all by itself

It's not just the raids--- people are dying while in ICE custody, and we need to pay attention to this. A Haitian woman died in ICE custody in Florida in April. At the time ICE said her death was "under investigation". www.ice.gov/news/release...

What’s the most amount of snot you think the human body could produce? This isn’t even the worst cold I’ve ever had and I still find myself wondering whether my entire upper body is like 90% mucus. 🤧

protest is always something of a "stunt"; you put yourself out there to attract attention and highlight injustice. opposition politicians should not be able to get the regime to illegally arrest them just by fucking showing up.

seen some people complaining that this is a political stunt and lemme say if this was the kind of political stunt more politicians were doing on a regular basis we wouldn't be where we are today dude is actually putting himself on the line here, fuck off with that shit

Jesus. Every. Single. Day. US taxpayer is forced to fund one of the murderous regimes in history. So sick and depraved at every level. #gaza #econsky www.reuters.com/world/middle...

call for a vote to censure or call for a vote to expel. protract the story and explain why it matters.

Aside from the data issue, I noticed this piece says Boelter has been charged with second degree murder. I am not a lawyer but doesn’t first degree murder premeditated, malice aforethought (disregard for human life), and criminal intent? Why would he have lesser charges given all the evidence?

hey georgia are you sick of our power bills increasing at a truly bananas rate? related: there's a primary election tomorrow for seats on the committee that approves those rate hikes!!! first election in like five years for that committee!! decaturish.com/2025/06/june...

Is there a reason Smith hasn't called for his censure?

Lmao 🄰 Cynthia Nixon www.instagram.com/reel/DK-aPsy...

"This astonishing paper shows how much we've underestimated the geographic range, productivity, and sustainability of intensive Indigenous agriculture across America," says Gayle Fritz. No shit, Gayle. White people being "astonished" at us will never fail to astonish ME. Tired of this racist bs...

Awful time to be alive but truly an amazing time to be a hater

I wake up & it breaks my heart.

Corrupt as hell. Truly running for Eric Adams's 2nd term. If you want to defeat him, tell everyone you know to rank Brad Lander and Zohran Mamadani 1st and 2nd (or 2nd and 1st). And don't rank Cuomo at all.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

Governor Newsom may defend us in speech, but he's voting to kill. His proposed budget for 2026 targets elderly, disabled, and undocumented Californians, and strips them of access to healthcare.

Hey y’all, I’ve been thinking about how fast things changed for all LatinĆ© people in LA. And what I’ve personally done to protect myself and my family. I thought it might be helpful for some of you so thought I’d share. 🧵

The right is drawing the lines of what terrorism is, so their violence is not terrorism. All violence is terrorism except their violence.

Contrast this to how the State reacted to the assassination of a CEO

The ability to think through dynamic political environments is an urgency in this moment... you are in fact are NOT seeing political violence from all corners. You are very much so seeing the fruits of fascist violence

ā€œā€¦he didn’t express extreme views, Carlson said. He said Boelter supported Trump and tuned in to programming from Alex Jones’s conspiracy-filled Infowars site.ā€ I got news for you, both indicate ā€œextreme views.ā€ #resist #mepolitics #VoteBlue

Gaza has been made into a ā€œdeath worldā€ damned to be hell on earth while the rest of the world watches.

Israel’s war on Iran is not about prevention. It’s about crippling Iran’s infrastructure, fracturing its society, and pushing the country toward internal implosion.

The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.

Here’s what we know about how measles spread on a Turkish Airlines flight to Denver coloradosun.com/2025/06/05/m...

Are the two people who drove their cars into people yesterday and the person who shot at people in Utah all white men? The person who murdered Democratic politicians yesterday was. Are we allowed to connect the dots? Will be media write exposes asking why white men are so violent? Or no?

And not ā€œwould you like me to wear a mask too, I’ll have to go get oneā€ but just have one and put the damn thing on. Although ideally health professionals should be masking already.

I voted early in NYC’s mayoral primary and in true Bushwick fashion there was a cafe down the street giving out free Zohran cookies for people who voted early this weekend

I remember how libs, like a fucking light switch, collectively and simultaneously stopped giving a fuck about kids in cages on the morning of november 4, 2020

Anybody who has watched ANDOR and seen stormtroopers patrolling cities and inspecting people’s papers will recognize this scene from downtown LA. If you think the stormtroopers are, well, stormtroopers, what do you think of Marines doing this?

A Trump supporter attempted to murder two Democrats and their families to tip the Minnesota state legislature—and it’s somehow not an enormous scandal for Trump. The both-sidesing of fascist violence is a massive failure of both parties, and the national political media.

I was thinking this morning about small-town No Kings protests. In April, I door knocked for the WI Supreme Court race in a rural area. Most of the people I talked to thought they were the only non-Trumper in their neighborhood, and many were wrong. I hope some of them found that out yesterday.

You can always count on The New York Times to minimize the scale and impact of protest. Yesterday's 2000+ No Kings actions smashed records for the most demonstrations in a single day. So the Times decided to publish a horseshit map of just a handful of "confirmed locations." We're not fooled.

Just to make the obvious explicit: Whether a country is willing to act as an extraterritorial gulag has exactly nothing to do with whether people from that country pose a security risk. They’re not even pretending the ā€œsecurityā€ pretext for the travel ban is serious.

"Olivas’s extraordinary reimagining of a classic play lays bare the destructive and brutalizing effects of the United States’ anti-immigration policy on undocumented immigrants and their families." "Waiting for GodĆ­nez" drops Sept. 2. www.simonandschuster.com/books/Waitin... #immigration

ā€œthey think ā€˜balance’ means concealing the partisan nature of violenceā€ godDAMN that hits the nail on the head, doesn’t it?

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

As much as I love seeing peaceful protests all day, dislike seeing local law enforcement escalating and/or siding w Feds. Why should Portland taxpayers foot the bill to protect an ICE facility? Majority of our voters oppose Trump/ICE. PPB better off over at Mirabella keeping an eye on the seniors.

I had the wonderful opportunity to listen to @seemiaroll.bsky.social present the other day and something she talked about that I wish more people understood is that Medicare for All actually leaves out a lot of disabled folks and a universal program should be more like Medicaid coverage.

Leaders of the American Patriots Three Percent (AP3) militia have forged alliances with law enforcement around the US. Internal files reveal their strategies for building these ties and where they’ve claimed success. (Published Aug. 2024)

Watching LAPD officers shoot rubber bullets directly at protesters is like watching the LA city budget get diverted in real time to lawsuit payouts
