Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

This is the only meme you need.

“Defund the police” was in fact a great slogan.

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

One thing is for certain after this week: Local cops in sanctuary cities—Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York—are working in lock step with DHS and ICE.

This is exactly why we were saying defund the police. The police are the vanguard of authoritarian regimes.

It's so so important to understand that these technologies are absolutely failing within a market context, they all lose a ton of money and are set to lose more, the only path to profit for these vultures is to attach themselves to educational and government institutions.

Awww you guys - the Acting Director of ICE is really upset that we keep accurately refering them the American Gestapo and calling out their kidnappings. Keep up the good work everyone!!!

This guy consistently posts songs with incredible lyrics mere hours after events unfurl. This was a good one.

[email protected] should be showered with praise for this. The "smart" insider DC advice at the time was to abandon Abrego Garcia. But Van Hollen fought for his constituent and helped get him home. And it turns out fighting back rather than misreading polls was politically smart too.

Early voting accomplished. 🤞 @katiebrennan.bsky.social @ravibhalla.bsky.social

@bsky.app Bring back the blue dot :(

this!!!! it may be hard for some to accept that the government could be this cruel (especially when they've largely had positive interactions with law enforcement) but federal agents are, in fact, the one terrorizing immigrant communities right now.

Something I’m enjoying is watching the right try and make this situation “masculine” when it is two extremely catty and weak-seeming people having a petty, messy and passive aggressive argument in public, refusing to talk to each other at all

tag yourself, I'm the kid passed out on the couch resting up for round two

All of this is precisely why you don't let billionaire oligarchs and corrupt mafia types run your government. No matter what your ideology, space and national defense policy are too important for this bullshit.

The Trump / Musk feud presents a real dilemma to the mainstream media that sanewashes each guy to try to help them. I guess they'll go with "an increasingly bitter conflict borne out of spending levels in the budget" or something to avoid stating the truth that trump is senile and musk is on drugs

It's actually smart and savvy to tell voters your party has no principles and will roll over for any rich asshole willing to cut you a check.

That's right. Dems think "Turning down the temperature" means they'll be perceived as reasonable adults, but what it actually means is THEY WON'T BE PERCEIVED AT ALL, because they'll leave the headlines, which means that public opinion will be once again governed by atmospheric social media vibes.

Come to a STAR Voting Orientation! There's one happening today! These virtual meetings feature a STAR Voting 101 w/ Q&A. It's a great event for learning more about STAR Voting, as well as for getting involved (or reinvolved) as a volunteer. www.starvoting.org/_orientation...

Bhalla responds to the questionnaire outlining plans for zoning reform, rent control regulations, opposing the Turnpike expansion and protecting Liberty State Park. https://betterblocksnj.org/2025/06/05/mayor-bhalla-completes-the-better-blocks-questionnaire/

Worker-owned and -run publications are the future of journalism—as they should be.

Billionaires ke paas already sab kuchh hai. Ab, aapka time aageya. Billionaires already have everything. Now, your time has come.

In PA Medicaid is called Medical Advantage. In NJ it's NJ Family Care. Many people don't know they are using Medicaid.

I'm honestly shocked there has not been an incident yet as the ICE agents not only don't look like Federal Agents, they look *exactly* like mass shooters.

It’s crunch time in New Jersey! Competitive races can literally come down to just a handful of votes, so we’re working hard to reach as many voters as possible for @ravibhalla.bsky.social and @katiebrennan.bsky.social. Join us tomorrow 6/4 at 5:30 pm ET to phonebank! www.mobilize.us/leadlocally/...
