This is an image maga is posting to stoke fear of Mamdani. A list of things that sound awesome

Someone should tell former Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte who was it that liberated the Netherlands from the Nazis in WWII

Some U.S. media (such as the Washington Post here) trace U.S.-Iranian animosity back to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, conveniently forgetting that the CIA helped overthrow a democratically elected Iranian government in 1953, forcing Iranians to endure decades of the Shah’s brutal rule.

Shooting hungry kids who dare take two steps towards pallets of food that sit there rotting away is what Israel is doing.

Precisely.

Seems important.

Someone needs to make a record of what every senator is saying right now in regards to their position on Iran. Because in 10-15 years they're going to be lying about what they said this week.

The guy arresting you shouldn’t look like the guy in a ski mask robbing a liquor store. It’s why we’re advancing legislation to put a stop to secret police-style masked law enforcement.

OK, this is how it's done.

On CBC, polio, mumps and whooping cough are being discussed because #measles cases are so high in Alberta. Measles are considered a warning. Me: COVID was the warning. Measles was just the next obvious airborne spreader because of misinformation and trends already at play since Andrew Wakefield.

For many Canadians this will immediately bring to mind the 2020 events in Nova Scotia where a man with violent and cruel tendencies mimicked an RCMP officer, including the cruiser, and went on a killing spree murdering 22 people.

thread on what law enforcement officials had to say about the assassination of Rep. Melissa Hortman and the attempted assassination of Sen. John Hoffman

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

Hmmmm . . . I wonder how the Minnesota assassin might have had access to a police uniform, a police badge, and a police cruiser. Are we *sure* he was "impersonating" a police officer?

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

Attacker impersonated law enforcement. Yet another reason why legit law enforcement must UNCOVER their faces and identify themselves when asked!

just a reminder that only water goes in your eyes, don’t wear contacts to a protest if you can help it, hot showers will hurt like hell if you have mace or gas residue on your skin. turn off face ID on your phone. pick a buddy & never leave their side. if detained, ask for a lawyer & then shut up.

Good

I just wanna say something really plainly that I haven’t seen spelled out like this There is no such thing as legal immigration anymore. Because they are taking people at their citizenship hearings they are taking people who are doing everything by the book. 1/2

US media is mostly captured by the regime, they'll go on about a Waymo on fire and pretend there are riots, when it is the police and ICE escalating by attacking / kidnapping people. Meanwhile Trump is trying to sell everyone's data to Palantir in the background.

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil. Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

It's already happening. This is why professional uniformed and identifiable agents doing high profile work like ICE raids is so important. GOP worried about someone using the wrong bathroom instead of criminals imitating their own regime's contracted questionable agents

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. prospect.org/justice/crie...

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

If you’re someone who cares about drought, selenium poisoned water, agriculture or tourism in Southern Alberta… You really should try and attend this. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

"It gets somewhat lost in all the other high octane dimensions of this story that a raid on a Home Depot is literally an effort to arrest people who are eager to work and whose labor is in great demand. It’s about as far as you can get from just going after the bad guys, as the WH routinely claims."

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.

David Graeber said this in 2012 about protests in New York City. Though this is increasingly what is happening this week in Los Angeles. davidgraeber.org/articles/con...

Bravo, Glendale. Bravo. More, please. And it's time for Democrats to loudly say, "Abolish ICE." Someone please stand up and have a spine.

The cop intentionally shot the reporter. It must be investigated.👇

Veterans lead demonstration at Camp Pendleton against potential LA military deployment. Veterans urge Marines to consider the legality of potential orders. www.cbs8.com/article/news...

Know your rights.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.
