Rubio says that El Salvador has agreed to accept deportations of American citizens www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

Good lord

If you're interested in growing plants there are so many people who want to share resources with you. They will put a plant in your hand and tell you all about it. Look into seed libraries, community gardens, local environmental agencies, university groups, and really free markets

Just found out that apparently last year Barenaked Ladies put out a song about cancel culture and I'm losing my mind. This song and video are both so hilariously ass.

VERY IMPORTANT to label this as what it is, The Police State Executive Order. it's not an exaggeration. This is the inner wiring of a police state.

"They stopped both cars and detained Norelia first. Upon arresting her, Gregorio said, officials insisted there was a judicial warrant for Cesar and Norelia but refused to show it to them. “'What they did with my son and my daughter-in-law is like a kidnapping,'” he said." wapo.st/41KxV4N

cop in The Wicker Man (leaving unharmed because he slept with that hot blonde): what a strange, sexy island

people regularly ask me what they should do to prepare for the possibility of mass violence and civil unrest. we give this advice often on It Could Happen Here but this is my list of advice in no specific order:

To be an anarchist is to be right too early Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

once you actually internalize that society is fake and we just made everything up and none of this is real other than the "realness" people have placed upon it, it's insane that anyone thought any of this would work in the first place

You’d think “ICE is doing Abu Ghraib at Boston’s Logan Airport” would be a bigger story

Pretending the pandemic is over empowers RFK. You can’t even “vax and relax” when he stops making new boosters & blocks research for cures

The REI Union is asking REI Co-op members to vote NO on all of the nominees in the upcoming board election. If you're an REI Co-op member, please check it out! www.ourrei.com/2025-rei-boa...

This is why Elon Musk bought Twitter—to seize control of communications infrastructure on behalf of the most authoritarian elements of the ruling class in order to establish an autocracy. We said so at the time. crimethinc.com/twittercanary There's a war on. The faster we act like it, the better.

Any pub or show not running or reporting on this comment right here is absolutely caping for this administration. Everyone knows education is the most kitchen table ass talking point ever and specifically saying disabled kids shouldn't have access to it affects so many families

if the democratic party had a functional propaganda arm it could make a lot of hay of the fact that a non-trivial number of MAGA personalities and politicians are child sex offenders

Someone else in the comments confirms it happened to them and I was directly sent a third case of this happening. The all had Real IDs and were traveling domestically. If you have any additional info, reach me on Signal: marisakabas.04

Gonna have to kick back up that thread of people who got their cars stolen etc only to have the cops go like "uh what do you want us to do about it?"

"'The Postal Service is the only entity that delivers to every address in the country, no matter how remote. If we privatize it, those rural customers will be left behind,' warns Tony McKinnon, president of the NC Council of the APWU."

honestly, great q

To put it another way, you can't debunk your way out of abject denial.

The person who punched Richard Spencer and instantly made him a meme never got caught. Just threw one punch and skipped off into immortality. I think about that a lot.

hi it's apparently important to note that this is a decision on the appeal of a district court ruling on a preliminary injunction, not the 9th ruling on the underlying case. erin's article omits this crucial fact, as have the posts i've seen so far.

No, it’s that they want disabled people dead. That includes children.

The annual State Department human rights report “will remove all sections covering the rights of women, LGBTQ+ people, and the disabled as well as sections dedicated to discrimination against indigenous people and corruption in government.” www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/03/marc...

New episdoe of It Could Happen Here out today diving into the wave Tesla attacks across the country ➡️ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... 404 media also put out a good article on the subject- www.404media.co/how-three-al...

You love to see it! ground.news/article/2-me...

Under apartheid I’m sure everyone was the best of friends with their black servants.

Roses are red Violets are blue

Teen Vogue: remains braver than almost any other news outlet at this time.

Rubio’s position seems to be: - We get to say who is a terrorist. Our decision is final. It can’t be challenged. Just trust us. - Once we decide you are a terrorist, we can immediately deport you. No judges. - After we deport you, we can make you rot in a foreign prison. No criminal charges needed.

There are few things on this hellworld as beautifully simple as the peanut butter banana sandwich

This isn't freedom.

a better world is possible

I used to really annoy people for yelling at them when they would say "we just have to outlive them." It doesn't work like that. The ones you're hoping to outlast will poison young people that you aren't paying attention to. You can't ignore and outlast you have to kill bad ideas at the root

Great questions! 1. You can call most reps after hours and leave messages on their machines, which is fine! But some (like Schumer, grr) turn off their machines after hours. 2. For local reps, any time is pretty good. For US reps and senators, I have the best luck getting a human at 9 am.

look its embarrassing but at least capitulation on rubio allowed them to block hegseth, RFK and tulsi gabbard right? oh wait, it didn't do that either?

If you're critical of the US government and you are planning to cross the US border any time soon, today is a good day to review EFF's border search pocket guide: www.eff.org/document/eff...

what's a good progressive news outlet in the triangle in Durham?

The USPS is an incredibly important service we tend to take for granted. Shipping one of my mugs through them is around $10. Shipping them with any private company is more than double that price. Small business need the USPS.
