GARDEN GROVE 10/20 8:45AM ICE IS ACTIVELY AT THE HOME DEPOT ON GARDEN GROVE BLVD & NELSON

Why do right's odious lies & horrifying claims break through not merely as rhetoric but policy? Because center-left keeps wielding thermometers to take temperature while right power up flame throwers to change it. New evidence from Germany: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

"Researchers found that as far right moved from fringe issues in the late 1990s to topics such as integration & migration, mainstream parties had increasingly reshaped their communications to respond, boosting spread of these ideas & signalling to voters these ideas & stances were legitimate."

The teeny tiny No Kings things in very red areas are so huge Say like five or six people show up. None of them knew each other before. Suddenly they’re all friends. And maybe from that you get a group that does longer-term organizing that can punch *way* above its weight considering where it is

anyway every time someone argues that John Roberts is a Reasonable Moderate I want to scream his lifelong goal is the reinstitution of segregation and he has almost achieved it, just because he doesn’t say the n word out loud during court arguments doesn’t make him any less of a racist

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

My wife is collecting signatures for a sweet ballot measure in Michigan that would tax income over $1,000,000 to reduce class sizes while recruiting and retaining great teachers. But they're way behind. So she was tasked with bringing in someone who could help gather signatures. Could it be you?

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

The pattern is they fire a ton of people, say they made a mistake, and then selectively rehire back only the most mediocre white men. This is why Black women's unemployment has spiked, the federal government used to be the largest employer of Black women until these monte carlo firings

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

I'm telling y'all: do not praise the woman who just won the Nobel Peace Prize. She's begging Trump to bring peace to Venezuela by starting a coup.

Users can become entrapped within the bed rail or between the rail and mattress, creating an asphyxiation hazard that poses a risk of serious injury or death. In October 2023 in Ohio, an 81-year-old woman died at her home after becoming entrapped between an OasisSpace bed rail and the mattress.

This South Side Weekly report on the Chicago building raid is well worth reading. Most striking to me are the indications of collusion between federal authorities and the building owner and management to effect a mass eviction at the blighted property. southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

I know part of this is the LA Burdick chocolate chip cookie but yay Chicago!!

I think about what Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford said about her assault by him, that it was his and his buddies laughter that she couldn’t get out of her head. What is happening right now is what rape culture looks like as government.

tap into this article to see the details of the bills that would protect trans & queer people that are still on the table. when you call, tell him he needs to sign all of them. name them! gavin: (916) 445-2841 AB 82 / SB 497 AB 1084 / SB 59 SB 418 AB 554 AB 727 AB 678 SB 590 SB 450

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

ICE/BP is up. Per social media video, several arrests on the southwest side again this morning.

Respectfully, Andraya in that white shirt and black tie 🫦 #wnba

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

It’s been right around 30 days since his last disappearance. I wonder what kind of infusion or treatment that might be consistent with?

In case we're keeping track, Trump appears to get some kind of IV medicine in each hand toward the end of the month (remember that he got a round in August right before Labor Day). Then he vanishes for a few days, maybe dealing with side effects.

It baaaaack. "Just like a toppled confederate general forced back onto a public square, the Donald Trump Jeffrey Epstein statue has risen from the rubble to stand gloriously on the National Mall once again," the group Secret Handshake tells @huffpost.com.

What the GOP position boils down to is that a few Dems should be made to eat shit and affirmatively vote for a bad-faith bill that's substantively objectionable and guaranteed to be reneged-on thru rescission and impoundment--*even though those votes are not actually necessary.*

But what's genuinely crazy-making is that even that leverage is in a true sense illusory. At any moment it's in the Republicans' power to jettison the 60-vote requirement and pass whatever they want.

This. Entire. Thread.

I’d like one newspaper to try out the headline “Republicans fail to attract Democratic votes they need to end shutdown” as a little treat.

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Adams and Cuomo’s actions. But they won't decide this election. In just over 5 weeks, we'll turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas — and deliver a government every New Yorker can be proud of.

California! Set a reminder in your phone to call the gov’s office to tell Newsom to sign these five bills. The guy’s mercenary as hell so if he thinks the wind is shifting in favor of trans rights (it never shifted! Trans rights are human rights!) we could flip him. Info below. Call: 916.445.2841

I don't know what happened, but the one thing I know for certain is this last incident of violence is proof positive of everything I believe and obviously the fault of everyone I despise.

It is depressing that the dumbest people alive have captured our government, but it is also reassuring that the dumbest people alive have captured our government

The fundamental problem with 'reaching out' to these folks is they have no problem with Trump's policies. They love them. Their problem is where those policies impact them. So what possible promise can Dems make to them but "We'll enact Trump's policies, but to someone else."

Every person in the group said they'd continue voting for Republicans because 1) they're idiots, 2) they're evil, and 3) the NYT didn't ask them what they want Trump to do to *people*, which is the real reason these losers vote this way

Please join us tonight, rain or shine, for a mass mobilization to make clear: We want ICE out of New York City. We won’t stop showing up until they stop abducting our neighbors.

Shocking new reporting from the Miami Herald: hundreds of detainees MISSING after being detained at Alligator Alcatraz. I’ve got the latest, incl. the appeals court ruling that makes no sense & the financial blackhole DeSantis has put FL in while chasing Trump’s love. youtu.be/5hGJuIgIzYw?...

if you dont stop calling us nazis we will have the secret police disappear you to a slave labor camp

Minneapolis and Saint Paul folks, want to know ideas folks are doing to secure their bikes in their garage. Thanks!

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.
