an fyi: these baofeng uv-5r radios cost less than $20. usually you need an (easy to get!) license to transmit, but there’s an exception for situations involving danger to life or property at protests cell towers can fail or be made to fail. knowing how to use one of these might save a life

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.

One of these photos is how HBO's The Watchmen depicted a fascist police force back in 2018 The others are real photos of the ICE agents who are rounding people up and disappearing them in Boston, Denver, L.A., and elsewhere

Just to recap, Trump has taken the extraordinary step of federalizing 2000 member of the California National Guard — over the objections of the state’s governor — in response to a protest that currently involves A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE AT A HOME DEPOT

Do you know this man? I do. He has 160+ million followers on TikTok. He’s apolitical; he does Vaudevillian silent comedy making fun of stupid life hacks. Far-right MAGA influencer Bo Loudon is bragging that he dimed out Khaby Lame and got him detained by ICE. And he did. TikTok is going to go nuts.

ICE is using shipping containers to store people at a US military base in East Africa where daily temperatures are over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This is obviously a human rights violation.

We’re now seeing paramilitary ICE raids in LA — with full on military garb, military tanks, flash bang grenades & the arrest of a major labor leader. This is a core manifestation of fascism — using federal forces to put down dissent. If we don’t stop this now, this is the future everywhere.

The “I’d go back in time & kill Hitler” people are remarkably silent these days

Things that make you go hmm 🙄 Make America Great?????

A federal judge gave a former intelligence officer in the Washington police an 18-month sentence for leaking details of an investigation to Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the far-right group the Proud Boys, and lying about it later.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

Aggrieved whites pretending they only lost out because of "unfair advantages" to minorities is an old script. The Bakke ruling against racial quotas came after Allan Bakke was rejected by 12 different med schools. He sued the *one* that had a racial quota, arguing that and that alone kept him out.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

This Pride month, pay close attention to who merely pays lip service versus who actually shows up in light of attacks on our LGBTQ+ neighbors. Can confirm that Andrew Cuomo wasn’t at Queens Pride, but most of his opponents were.

Defense Technology LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cadre Holdings, Inc., which mainly does business as Safariland. They're headquarters in Jacksonville.

A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives. Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.

🚨 Armed agents in tactical gear. Flash-bang grenades. So-called 'less-lethal' weapons". All used on peaceful protesters in LA demanding dignity for immigrants. This is what a police state looks like. This is what happens when cruelty becomes policy. We must speak out.

I like how Kash Patel does not say “that’s not true” at any point in regards to Trump in Epstein files.

Just leaving this here for my friends and colleagues in the biz with no comment necessary.

ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

Kind of wild that the New York Times has more sympathy for an influencer who posted child porn than it does for trans children who want to be left alone.

He does this every Friday

There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”

A protest against the detainments of immigrants at 930 e towne in LA beginning to escalate. Detainees are being filed into trucks. Large protest is here. Tear gas has been deployed. More to come.

Immigration agents mistakenly detain deputy U.S. marshal in Tucson, feds confirm tucson.com/news/local/b... The Incompetence They detained one of their own ! Tucson, deputy U.S. Marshal detained Why If you look Hispanic you're a target ICE, IMMIGRATION THUGS Unbelievable Incompetence

The Republicans’ big, ugly tax hike bill steals $1 trillion from working Americans who need it most, and gives it to the very, very wealthy, those who need it least.

This should be a national debate, not an executive power grab. 📌 The Posse Comitatus Act prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force.

As usual, the cruelty is the point. Missouri has lived under the boot of a GOP supermajority for 22 years and they have consistently defunded schools. And now they are planning to close schools for the severely disabled.

On June 6, 81 years ago, US and allied troops landed on Normandy to make a northern offensive against fascist Nazi Germany. I am outraged to read on this anniversary that US troops are being called on in our own country in the name of xenophobic fascism.

⚡️ Moscow ready to grant Musk asylum if necessary amid rift with Trump, Russian official says. "I think Musk is playing a completely different game," Dmitry Novikov, deputy chair of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, said.

The Great American Tariff Scam: What Trump is doing with his tariffs is enriching steel barons, asset strippers, and vulture investors — not giving a damn what actually happens on the shop floor. What he’s doing is an American tragedy, and it’s a con job. youtu.be/SEsDG-LOeRE

Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency. Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors. In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

The masked goons from the Department of Child Snatching are the *real* victims here, Mike Johnson says.

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”
