MAGA never got the Epstein files, Fauci isn’t in prison, and Hillary never got locked up, but they got a war for regime change in Iran.

You mean Ayatollah Trump building Trump Tower Tehran?

Wow unbelievable

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

This is why right now is dumber than thr Iraq runup. There was a year of endless propaganda on top of the war mindset of post-9/11 and Bush at +60% approval. Right now its a historically unpopular president following an unpopular ally into a war nobody wants and he's making zero attempt to sell it

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

btw, if you’re wondering if you should call your congressperson & tell them bombing iran is a *bad* idea & impeachment is a *good* idea, the answer’s already yes, but the 75 dems who hate brown people/muslims enough to have voted for HR488 probably really need to hear it. find their info: reps.fyi

The billionaire Palantir CEO —the company building a database to track Americans, and helping ICE abduct immigrants, who proudly admits that his company kills people… … is a Big Money Andrew Cuomo donor. You won’t be an opposition leader when you’re owned by the opposition.

1. Trans troops are now being separated from their jobs, and we have learned what discharge code they are being given: "JDK," a code that was used to remove communists and gay people, and can be seen as a "black mark" on their service. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Defund every one of these specific cops. Remove them from their jobs. Melt down their weapons. Hire social workers and mental health outreach people with the money you save.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

the Orange County Rapid Response Network played a big part in this, please consider donating: ocrapidresponse.org

Agreed. I called @whipkclark.bsky.social and @edmarkey.bsky.social www.markey.senate.gov/contact The message is "Do something dramatic."

This stand-alone item is inaccurate, @nytimes.com. In the widely viewed video Padilla loudly and clearly identifies himself from the beginning.

“If you spit on us, you are going to the hospital….” Free to forecast your intent to engage in police brutality in the state of Florida, & w/this DOJ.

This video is going to be all over tiktok on an hour

Duck if you see the imperial boomerang

If they're willing to assault and tackle a sitting US senator in front of national media, what do you think they're doing to immigrants in detention centers?

Yeah that’s what’s happening. He heard the cries of the innocent. Like Moses.

Good article on masking and identity concealment by agents on ICE raids (also quotes me, for which thanks). A few bits: /1

I'm shocked, I tell you! www.notus.org/health-scien...

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning. - <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT. - The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Are we still doing phrasing?

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.” Doechii at the #BETAwards

We will not cower, even in the face of Trump’s militarized escalation. On Saturday, we are going to rise up all across the country in defiance of this administration’s authoritarian agenda. Join the nationwide peaceful protests for No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Heartbroken young friend sent me the below this morning. Blotted out names are congressional Democratic campaigns speaker has worked on. Tell yourself this is just one person w/ head in the sand. I teach in a college. There's a small amount of radicalism, then this, & then whole lotta disinterest.

Even before AI, there was this: bro overheard @ campus cafe: "Lowkey, I shit the bed first term, but now I'm taking all layups"--easy As--"so I'll have like all A-"--that minus takes extra non-effort in a layup--"but for real I don't give a shit, it's not like I'm in college to read a fucking book."

Our team read Trump’s proposed budget so you don’t have to. The takeaway? It’s bad. The LGBTQ+ community would see upwards of $2.6 billion in support cut. It would mean HIV and STI resources slashed, mental health support for LGBTQ+ youth ended, funds for combatting hate crimes revoked, and more.

The right is starting to meltdown that the new pope has been vocally critical of Trump.

A bunch of Dem establishment defenders got angry when I said we’re asking elected Dems to throw their bodies into the gears of the fascist machine. But this is what I meant. AOC is treating this as an emergency and daring the fascists to arrest her. Schumer is writing letters asking Trump to stop.

From the great @bethmacy.bsky.social, a dispatch on on church activists stepping up for immigrants in Roanoke: substack.com/home/post/p-...

"While anyone can repost an article, researching & writing is hard work that requires time & money. Before you deride 'mainstream media,' note that it is *no longer the mainstream.* It is derision that is mainstream & easy, & actual journalism that is edgy & difficulty."-Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny

This isn't freedom.

Critique that fascism is "making it up as it goes" itself goes nowhere, because *no kidding*--that's the ugly fact *&* idiot mythos of fascism, "men of action," dynamism, guided not by technocracy but by a deliberately chaotic commitment to destruction. Hit one thing, see if it breaks. Try another.

In my kid's HS health class, they discussed sex and media today. Teacher asked them to consider what they thought were pros & cons of porn. Not surprisingly, nobody wanted to talk about it, until one brave soul ventured, "it gives people jobs?"
