If we're in a plane and it's on a path to hurt more people, it is not the time to plead with those on the ground that, "not all of us voted for the hijacker!"

Host: Are you saying the US did not see intelligence that the Supreme Leader had ordered weaponization? Rubio: That’s irrelevant Host: No, that's a key point Rubio: No it’s not… Forget about intelligence

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

For CENTURIES it was women’s can’t- women shouldn’t- women aren’t- women are too- But the MOMENT we bring up men it’s “not all men”

My mom can no longer tell the difference between watching a recap and watching a new event happening

Q: Your intelligence community says they have no evidence that Iran is building a nuke TRUMP: Then my intelligence community is wrong. Who said that? Q: You director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard TRUMP: She's wrong

Some on the right are complaining about bombing Iran now, but very soon MAGA is going to fall in line and talk about how he's actually playing 56d chess and was right to do it

Then they came for me, and I said, "This wasn't what I voted for!"

I am sick and tired of media saying 47 will declare whether HE will decide to engage with Iran or not. This would be an act of war and requires Congress, not the call of some petulant child.

They're anti-free speech

I think we should all buy tactical vests and gaiters so we could confuse ICE agents about who's who

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

As long as most Americans stay comfortable in their own lives, they'll overlook any of his abuses of power.

My hate for political spam texts is at a peak right now

This is not actually a subtweet of anything specific right now, but I do want to make a plea to everyone to a) attribute and link to the source of any information you're sharing b) only share posts that do so. This isn't (just) about credit, it's about creating a chain of custody for information.

It's crazy talking to non-online people because you'll mention things that have been common knowledge online for months (like Kristi Noem killing her dog) and they'll be like, "omg whaaat?"

I'm not clutching any pearls over property damage or burning cars or even looting. What has Apple done other than kiss the ring this whole time?

I’m not being mean but we gotta demand some accountability from journalists. Most of them are now regime actors. Unless they are provably, demonstrably otherwise they should be treated as MAGA shills. I mean look at Kristin Welker. She’s a tool of fascism. Everyone on the sunday talk shows… fascists

Faith leaders and a crowd are gathered at the Federal Building right now. Video taken by a 50501 organizer on the ground. @50501movement.bsky.social

These protests are a failure of Donald Trump and his immigration policy, and a failure of a response to this moment. Every day that passes is another day he's failing to control the situation.

why is the president the only person testing the limits of his power? everyone should see what they can get away with. what if zookeepers gave helicopters to gorillas? nobody has tried this

These protests are power for whichever leader has the guts to claim it. Anyone?

Fuck "don't give him an excuse." He's never needed an excuse.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

The fact they chose California as the flash point is also an indicator that they don't think these things through LA has like 4M+ people. Sending every single ICE officer is ~20K, LAPD is 9K, LASD is 10K. Going in at 100:1 manpower – leaving zero bodies for literally anything else – is foolish 1/
