🏳️‍🌈💉🩸 Anthony Bourdain will always be missed

The New York Times covers trans issues the way Fox News covers ICE protests. Both lead the country to believe there is a conflagration by highlighting a few fires over and over, while ignoring the fact that most people just want to live their lives without the government in their faces.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

If these J6 assholes deputized by ICE wearing masks to hide their identity are abusing detainees, they need to go to Gitmo.

I can’t believe Millennials are lucky enough to go from enjoying the OG End of the World video to actually seeing it in real life. Can confirm my resident Australian is doing a lot of “wtf, mate??” lately. Truly, I am le tired.

<Sob laugh>

Good morning bluesky!

Take the masks off. Show your badges. This is America.

Schatz: People are seeing what chaos really looks like. We are on the brink of some very dangerous developments in the Middle East, and we have chaos inside the US—not chaos the federal government can’t control, but chaos the federal government is, in some instances, precipitating or making worse.

20-year-old U.S. citizen Adrian Andrew Martinez was swarmed by ICE in Pico Rivera while defending someone. He never hit back—just struggled—before being slammed into a CBP van. No records. No lawyer. His mom can’t find him. This is abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

Thou shalt not arrest elected public officials for trying to speak for their constituents.

Melissa Hortman was only 55 years old. She had a lot more to do. It is so bitter and so sad that her life was taken - assassinated for fighting for what she believed in. It will now be up to us to carry on these fights.

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Keep your eyes peeled, my Canadian friends 💙🇨🇦

So after terrorizing communities and ripping families apart with ICE raids at farms and restaurants, DHS is suddenly “pausing” because of labor gaps? Wild how the war on undocumented immigrants stops the second your rosé doesn’t pour itself and your salad’s missing veggies.

Weird poses

Art of the Deal!

A navy Vet currently serving is putting his job on the line to say how he feels about what's going on. Brave!

Pope Leo's message via video to young people in Chicago: Find hope in God, give hope to others, build community, serve others, don't be egotistical, be generous.

FFFFFFFFFFFFUCK ICE.

MINNESOTA: “Shelter in place order in a 3 mile radius… white male, black body armor…” The 2 Democratic lawmakers’ spouses were also shot.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

#Resist #NoKings

They lie about everything

Jim Jordan told his athletes at The Ohio State University to shut up about the doctor at the university who was molesting and graping them. He’s a POS. He needs to sit out life at this point.

Mayor of LA said rumors suggest ICE raids will continue for approx. 30 days. If true, our City/County/State must flesh out a strategy to support their residents during this extended siege. To start: immigrants & refugees & protestors should receive direct legal aid from City Attorney offices.

He needs paid actors to fill the stands ……

Investigations are now underway into officers and ICE agents who fired crowd-control munitions at dangerously close range. In case after case, the situation only escalated when force was used against peaceful protesters.

Granted it is a quote from a work of fiction but it rings true: "There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people. "

If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention. 🎥: Time, 💬 Greta Thunberg

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

The right to peacefully protest is fundamental. It is in the Constitution. No president can nullify it—because in the United States of America, we have no kings. Join @indivisible.org and more this weekend to make your voice heard: www.nokings.org

This can’t happen. They will destroy the entire tournament and cause mass violence. This is no place for these people. It will start a world war if they start snatching people from other countries here to watch soccer!

Be the salt to their ICE.

At least America is learning history.

Spread the truth.

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

Embarrassment
