The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Absolute Queen behavior from the Zamboni Rider today at the Minnesota Frost game. No ICE No War No Kings No Fear.

i would love to stop seeing people here argue that it’s not antisemitic to kill random jews in america as retaliation for israeli policy. if people would stop doing that, that would be super cool imo. not being a bigoted sociopath on main — what a concept!

The establishment is in full panic mode. When they can’t debate ideas, they have to manufacture doubt.

The corrupt system keeps these kinds of ideas from happening.

A secretive political organisation is paying influencers US$1500 per post to attack a young, female Democratic candidate in an upcoming primary in Illinois. I'd expect to see something similiar coming from Advance ahead of the Farrer byelection, and electoral laws struggle to respond.

Mar Espinar, Spain’s PSOE deputy, on Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s support for Trump: “Take your mafioso chief of staff, go to Mar-a-Lago, and leave us here — because we are more like the brave ones from Minnesota”

Ditto UK

Ms Rachel has shifted from advocating for children killed by bombs that our taxes pay for, to advocating for children that our government is imprisoning without cause, which our taxes also pay for. This isn’t what a kid’s entertainer should feel the need to do, but since we’re here, more ppl should.

Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."

tariffs happening for no reason and theyre making your life worse, secret police kidnapping people for no reason and making your life worse, firing thousands of government employees for no reason and making your life worse, going to war with iran for no reason and making your life worse

The Democratic Party is directly enabling the war by praising the assassination of Iranian leaders, refusing to condemn the aggression, and approving massive military funding.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

Not trying to be hyperbolic, I fear we are on the cusp of a 9/11 type catastrophe that this regime is unwilling and unable to protect us from.

Masuma Khan has lived in Altadena for nearly 30 years. Last year, despite having no criminal history, she was detained by ICE and denied the medication she needed to breathe. Her family contacted my office, and we successfully advocated for her release.

BREAKING: The US has confirmed those 168 school girls and staff were liberated by a Tomahawk missile and their rescuers were liberated by a 2nd Tomahawk in a "double-tap". That's two liberations for the price of one. If you don't support this, I can only assume you hate freedom.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Thank you, Sir, for speaking plain truth.

It hurts to imagine what our democracy would be like without all the voter suppression, and if it didn’t take 67 Californians to equal the senate voting power of 1 Wyomian, and if we didn’t have billions of dark money pouring into the propaganda hellscape, and if we had no gerrymandering. Sad.

This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*

I need to remind people. The midterms have never been so important. Don't let people use scare tactics or make you think it won't happen. also if voting didn't matter gerrymandering wouldn't exist.

“Any attempt by this administration to seize or ban mail-in ballots or voting machines during an election would” violate federal laws prohibiting interference with elections, says @lizagoitein.bsky.social.

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

Busy days ahead for our new Fraud Czar, JD Vance.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

This has nothing to do with fraud. The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

Democracy is dying in America. ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous. We need real leaders - not career politicians.

Trans youth deserve to live free of fear and bullying, especially from the President.

Last year was not the first time a President has tried to subdue Illinoisans with hired thugs.

The REAL Reason Trump Has an Issue with Obama.

We're just disgusted. newrepublic.com/article/2068...

It was a mistake for any Democrats to sit in the chamber last night. Trump was able to needle and mock them, and he put them in a catch-22 with his "stand if we should protect American citizens not illegal aliens." They all should have boycotted and exposed this one-party regime for what it is.

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.

Cuba: The US oil blockade, in which the US Navy stopped and raided an inbound tanker from Russia, has thrown the country into life-or-death circumstances almost immediately. No food, no water, backflows of sewage and rampant disease. The Gaza of the USA. vm.tiktok.com/ZP9euxx4bmj5...

We need a constitutional amendment that says that all American citizens have a right to vote. It is up to the states to institute election procedures that do not disenfranchise anyone. Any restriction that bars any citizen from voting should be illegal. No excuses justify taking this right away.

Transfem here. This is absolutely infuriating. I don't even disagree that broader issues (lowering costs, taxing the rich) should take center stage in most or all progressive campaigns. That's good strategy. But contrasting trans rights and respect with "what really matters"??? Fuck Newsom.
