A federal judge ruled part of the #Spokane9 case will go to trial after denying motions to dismiss charges against 3 protesters tied to anti-ICE protests. A jury will decide whether alleged coordination, like responding to FB posts, counts as conspiracy. rangemedia.co/judge-rules-...

I’m actually not sure we can come back from “prediction markets for war crimes”, as a society. I think this might be it for us.

“There is nothing preemptive or preventative about bombing a country that had zero plans to attack you.” –Rania Khalek (@raniaakhalek.bsky.social)

Lots of people seem to forget: It is Ramadan, which would affect the pattern of life of everyone in Iran.

War is massacre of people who don't know each other for the profit of people who do know each other but don't massacre each other.

What’s always been so absurd about discourses surrounding political violence in America is that it’s accepted, understood, agreed upon, bipartisan, mainstream that our military gets to vaporize little kids half a world away without consequence

This should ring a bell with UK voters who had the Tories pull something similar and then restrict what could be used as ID. bsky.app/profile/meri...

The president should have NO power over elections. It's a blatant conflict of interest. Perhaps that's why it's in Article ONE!

🧵 WHEN YOU CAN’T PASS THE LAW, TRY DECLARING AN EMERGENCY: Midterms edition. After the SAVE Act stalled and courts blocked earlier efforts, a draft order proposes using emergency powers to reshape election rules. This isn’t a new policy idea. It’s an escalation.

Kansas is giving trans residents 24 hours to surrender their IDs. By stripping IDs and risking voting access, they're criminalizing daily life. This is anti-democracy in action: target, isolate, erase. Inclusive democracy = Everyone has the right to exist, move, and vote safely.

again, so so stoked to be discussing my book with the incredible @leahsottile.bsky.social THIS Thursday in PORTLAND, OREGON at the @cstpdx.bsky.social! Sponsored by the amazing folks at @ojrcenter.bsky.social , @westernstatescenter.org , and @107ist.org! Get your tixxxxx cstpdx.com/event/to-cat...

Bluesky has suspended @themanfromchaos.bsky.social for reporting on a far-right agitator in Coos Bay, Oregon. Identifying and warning about threats is in the public interest for the safety of our communities. Likely mass reported, please unsuspend. @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team

CNN doing PR for Johnson here by claiming "the general practice is for presidents, select military officials & select government officials to lie in honor" without noting exceptions. Like Billy Graham. So White preacher gets to lie in state but not Black one?

In many cases, the Flock destruction was clearly intended as a public message, as in Eugene, OR, where the saboteurs left note at the scene that read "Hahaha get wrecked ya surveilling fucks." The message was carried on the local news. At the end of the year, Eugene terminated its Flock contract.

I was determined to show restraint with the cookies this year, but the universe had other plans for me… Thanks, cousin 😅

For years, Trump has been spouting all kinds of harmful lies about immigrants. Now he’s exporting ICE, some of the United States’ literal worst, to an Olympics host city that has said they’re not welcome. It’s giving “every accusation is a confession.” 👀

Listening to all the rhetoric and newsbites about Greenland. Remember that Hawaiʻi was illegally occupied and made a state according to US law at the time and had allies (UK). YET WAS STILL STOLEN. Not to mention all of north america.

checking in on the president of the United States

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

A statement from Councilor Avalos, @councilordunphy.bsky.social, and Councilor Smith on the ICE shooting of two people in the Hazelwood neighborhood:

Ecologists are sounding the alarm about the deleterious effects of AI and data centers on the climate and the health and economic conditions of local communities, while Big Tech giants are lobbying politicians like Trump to dictate the media narrative, state investments, and municipal zoning laws.

“The same systems that made sure Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color were last in line for clean air, safe housing, and political power are the same ones making sure we’re also first in line to drown, burn, or be displaced.” - @merirei.com My first for @unicornriot.bsky.social

Literally wanting access to meds that allow you to function shouldn’t be treated like drug-seeking behavior, but here we are… Again… 🫠 Crash out season continues.

Supporting Epstein's victims is essential, full stop. But MTG doing the bare minimum doesn't erase years of harmful, violent rhetoric. A broken clock can be right twice a day, but that's no reason to pull it from the trash and mount it on the wall.
