Between this and what we've seen in Chicago recently, it's not hard to conclude that ICE is deliberately targeting journalists trying to document their abuses

Soooo…where are we moving?

its hard to look at that speech in front of the generals as anything other than his pitch to the military to start shooting the media and democrats

Throwing marginalized groups under the bus ALWAYS comes back to bite us in the end. (Posts from 7 months ago.)

Chuck Schumer, in an hour from now: The president plans to flood the streets with military personnel to oppress innocent people, but what he should be flooding the streets with is tax credits for the middle class!

One of my favorite bands is coming out of retirement to do an anniversary tour & they’re visiting my city on my anniversary 🥹 Sometimes, the universe is neat.

Even if you’re a homebody 🏡, you can request your mail ballot and cast your ballot from the comfort of your couch. #ProtectPACourts vote.pa/mail#ProtectPACourts

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Wow. If you go to hud.gov, there's an insane shutdown-related popup. And in case you missed the popup, they also make it the banner at the top of the page.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?  I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.  So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

If a man can live here for decades, be a community leader, work as a special education teacher, earn a PhD and become a celebrated superintendent and STILL the be accused of not “doing it the right way” then we can all agree the “right way” doesn’t exist in this country for immigrants of color.

Democratic leadership should have to deliver all interviews from a spring loaded chair that catapults them into a giant vat of tapioca pudding anytime they say something like this.

Another day another white cis male shooter. All day right wing accounts were pre-emptively announcing it was an anti-Christian left wing extremist or a trans person and that the violence has to end. Well here he is wearing a 'make liberals cry again' Trump t-shirt

The entire piece is worth a read. "The evidence suggests that compromising on basic humanity doesn’t broaden coalitions; it hollows them out. The work now is to find ways to expand our reach without abandoning our foundation—to bridge gaps, yes, but never at the expense of our neighbor’s humanity."

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

If you still, for whatever reason, have a WAPO subscription, you really should get rid of it

Pivoting from poorly written trashy dragon smut to horror published in the early 1800s makes me feel like I’m using two different brains to interpret language. Whiplash of a day.

Everyone waking up to the fact that Ezra Klein is a total knob is a joy, honestly.

About to be the family that owns TikTok.

He’s an apparent criminal who sold out the city in a rancid deal with the Trump DOJ that was so corrupt the only way out was to dismiss the charges against him.

When someone praises the corrupt and refuses to endorse the people’s choice, they are telling you who they are.

Still pondering Klein’s earnest and clueless “where is the line??” question on who should be allowed in the democratic tent. It’s a very simple answer: the line is human rights. Nobody is calling for the expulsion of a moderate democrat who believes in a conservative fiscal policy.

My general belief is that Dems need to spend more time thinking about what they believe and less about what they think some imaginary swing voters want them to believe. Political strategy will stem from an authentic set of beliefs.

Trump's check must've cleared.

Klein is also obsessed with solving Democrats’ “condescension problem” but it’s not condescending to talk about how your political opponents are wrong! That’s kind of how it works.

I know a lot of people won’t click through to read about “med beds” so here’s the crucial quote to explain how fucking crazy this is. Trump just posted an AI video of himself promising every American access to this.

Wait: so the President of the United States shared a video of a fake news report, rooted in a conspiracy theory, that features an AI-generated version of himself promoting a policy that…doesn’t exist?

The fact that I’m just now hearing about this sure is worrying!

Yes! We must protect our totally robust and not at all predatory healthcare system!!

What also baffles me is that Democratic Party is ~30 points underwater in favorability & Zohran Mamdani is ~16 points above water in favorability. The Dem Party establishment, who is responsible for the abysmal rating, is too arrogant to support the guy ~50 points ahead of them. Incredible.

NYC Mayoral Primary was 95 days ago & the general is in 37 days. And Schumer & Jeffries—the two Democratic leaders who should be leading by example—have still REFUSED to endorse the democratic nominee. I don’t wanna hear them or any of their supporters utter “vote blue no matter who,” ever again.

Camden had zero homicides this summer. City and county leaders credit the 2013 disbandment of its police department. Violent crime is at a 50-year low. This is amazing. www.inquirer.com/news/camden-...

this is the housing market but at least we're investigating what happened to amelia earhart

Look at this Gen-Z ass haircut 🥦

That AIPAC $$ must be so sweet, yet Debbie WS still has that hair. Puzzling!

Welp, I’d be in jail.

I can’t wait to get my guitar tutorials, gardening hacks and GENOCIDE propaganda all in one place. ❤️ Delete TikTok.
