Lessons for protesters from Standing Rock heated.world/p/lessons-fo...

𝗪𝗧𝗙!? Trump just ordered ICE to ramp up mass deportations — not quietly or strategically, but specifically in 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰-𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 like LA, NYC, and Chicago, from 650 arrests a day to 3,000. This isn’t about keeping our communities safe — it’s political revenge. 1/4 apnews.com/article/trum...

Netanyahu’s illegal, unilateral attack on Iran is just his latest violation of international law. The United States must not be a part of this war. My full statement:

What Else Can This Man Do to Attack His Own Citizens? From targeting veterans to silencing dissent, is there any line Trump won’t cross?

PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

A possible mass shooing avoided in Salt Lake City yesterday. The victim has died and was simply a bystander in the crowd. One person under arrest was attempting to assemble an AR 15 rifle when approached by security. Not clear yet who fired the fatal shot. www.ksl.com/article/5133...

Mike Lee is a bad guy.

Estimated 10,000 plus marchers in Salt Lake City when shots were fired. No word yet on motive. www.ksl.com/article/5132...

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

A headline you might read about a country in Latin America, not the US. This is what a cowardly and corrupt Republican Party, and this group of unprincipled Republican leaders have brought us to. www.bbc.com/news/article...

In 2023, Russell Vought detailed plans to deploy the military in response to domestic unrest: “We want to be able to shut down the riots and not have the legal community or the defense community come in and say, ‘That’s an inappropriate use of what you’re trying to do." (Published Oct. 2024)

Bahahaha! 🤣🤣🤣

After reading that the xAI facility in Memphis being powered by temporary gas power turbines and hearing the claims that they were not causing pollution, we went to check on that. @nickcunningham.bsky.social has the details.

Your 'moment of kakistocracy' for today: "He's irreplaceable. The brain drain continues and the public will pay for it. I don't see how FEMA will find someone who can coordinate with national, state and local emergency organizations like he did." www.cbsnews.com/news/jeremy-...

The NEW Quinnipiac poll (which historically skews right) has Trump underwater on ALL issues and a dismal 38% approval rating. His “big beautiful bill” is even worse, with 27% approval rating. The #NoKingsProtest is Saturdays. Spread the word! #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

oh! 91 to 9! (the guy with 9% is the brother of Attorney General Pam Bondi)

Great tool. Check the trend in your location.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.
