French-Palestinian Member of European Parliament Rima Hassan: "If you're seeing this video now, it's because we've been stopped by the Israeli army or their complicit allies. We count on your mobilization to put pressure on the French government to demand our release."

I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to have traffic back because of this place. How much I deeply resent the artificial silencing imposed on writers and publishers at Meta and X. Grateful to the readers, writers and publishers I’ve found here.

don’t forget: waymos and other robotaxis are surveillance devices on wheels that police are increasingly tapping for footage

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

beginning to suspect that LA wants ICE to fuck off

Do not split

A friend who wants Brad Lander to win told me she isn't ranking Zohran even though she prefers him to Cuomo. I wrote back explaining why it still makes sense for her to rank Zohran, and I wanted to share it here for any other anti-Cuomo folks who aren't otherwise inclined to rank Mamdani.

A depressing thought: How many ICE staff involved in all these horrific actions were hired and trained under Biden and Obama? Isn't this the real cost of Democrats trying to be tough on immigration and borders, pouring money into it, letting this culture develop? And now they've been turned loose.

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

Versailles was that one place where I was like...ok now I see why y'all got beheaded.

it really doesn’t matter if someone is in america illegally or not. who cares, grow up

No other #SundaySentence in my head this morning than this from Stephen Stills: “There’s something happening here What it is ain’t exactly clear There’s a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it’s time we stop Children, what’s that sound…”

Think about all the incredible writers you know who can’t get any publicity but James Fucking Frey gets the front page glow up in the Sunday NY Times, called a “literary outlaw” for making shit up in a book billed as non-fiction, and a whole paragraph devoted to him describing his orgasms.

this is a harrowing account delivered with precision and clarity

I love the “right way to protest” people. They love to pop out and claim all protests should be silent and polite, like protests are dinners at the kind of restaurants where pasta costs $40

people should realize that raising entire generations of kids with active shooter drills and the threat of being murdered at school while also telling them that there is nothing they could do because the Republicans deserve their AR 15s more than they deserve to live readied them for these fights.

it's really funny that any news anchor in america can say that biden was mentally incompetent but you can't say trump is mean without getting in big trouble

i don't want to dunk on any of the people who replied or quoted this with a "well ackshully the national guard will shoot protesters, look at kent state," but my request is to a) remember that kent state was over half a century ago and b) read about the NG's response in its aftermath

Immigrants and refugees make LA and the USA great. Sending militarized and masked police and ICE to arrest them makes the USA worse. And sending in the National Guard and threatening to use the Marine Corps and holding a military parade to glorify a president…that’s fascism.

seconding this. if you get hit directly in the head with an impact munitions like this or a grenade go immediately to the ER. don't stay to protest with your friends. Don't try to be "tough". your night or day is done. seek medical care

Hit Nazi scum hollers

I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

This is the only meme you need.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

I thank every single person who put their bodies in front of fascist vehicles. Every time I feel despair about where we are as a nation I think of them and feel a little less doomed.

mein fuehrer.... steiner.... steiner's CA guard troops are stuck on the I-5, we are going to lose the home depot

“Squared off”

Does anyone else need to have their house clean and everything JUST SO in preparation for their birthday? Because I spend all of @rkambury.bsky.social ‘s birthday cleaning every year. 🤣

it’s my birthday (34!) 🎉

Try that shit in a small town, as it were

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.

ICE has arrested more than 2000 people—workers, day laborers, parents picking up children from school, students—in LA today. I can barely fucking concentrate

live from the huge spontaneous anti-ICE protest after the agency used military-style tactics during a series of raids in Los Angeles today.

Genuinely can’t even put into words how fucking lucky we are to have a book-length compendium of Kate advice. This shit is gold!!!

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

are they really going with “the enemy of my enemy should be my rich nazi friend” is that what is going on here

Here in DC at the “Unite For Veterans, Unite For America” rally. Trump has declared war on the VA and our veterans. We’re here today standing with our veterans. Huge crowd.

I just left the Unite for Veterans March on the National Mall on this "anniversary" of DDay. We owe our Veterans so much and our elected officials (republicans) have turned their backs on them, but i won't and neither will majority of Americans. Shoutout to the Dropkick Murphys for the show!!

the way I could scream about this exact fucking issue for HOURS and not run out of breath
