The fact that there was significant public push-back against the murder of two protesters by Trump's secret police shows that our democracy is still strong and resilient.

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

31 January 1933 | An Italian Jewish boy, Mario Calò, was born in Rome. He arrived at #Auschwitz on 23 October 1943 in a transport of 1,035 Jews deported from Rome. He was among 839 people murdered after selection in gas chambers.

Sisu è un termine finlandese intraducibile letteralmente, che indica una straordinaria forza di volontà, determinazione, tenacia e resilienza nel superare avversità estreme, agendo razionalmente anche quando il successo sembra impossibile.

www.avvenire.it/mondo/via-i-... Purtroppo l’Afghanistan non è bagnato da nessun mare e quindi niente flottiglie, ma neanche manifestazioni, né scioperi, né blocchi stradali e ferroviari, e neanche appelli di intellettuali, cantanti , attori, registi. Ah, se avesse il mare!

just saw 4 ice agents go up to a house and knock and within 1 minute there were 30 people out whistling and they left. we will not take our foot off the gas

Notably the Palantírs provide accurate information but insufficient context, leading to dogshit analysis. Every person who comes to rely on a Palantír fucks up and dies.

C'è poco da festeggiare col demansionamento di Bovino che guidava l'ICE a Minneapolis. Il problema non è lui, ma è che l'ICE sta agendo in barba agli ordini emanati dai tribunali, come se la legge e le disposizioni dei giudici non si applicassero a loro. Questo è il fascismo.

And as before, it is again my native Ukraine where yet another genocide happens while two dictators are trying to divide the world. From last year: forbetterscience.com/2025/02/24/b...

On #Holocaustmemorialday, one could ask: how could people elect a mad dictator? How could people go to war of conquest, how could they stay silent in the face of mass murder? It would never happen here, to us, we all said. Well. Turn on the news.

Pretti Good reason for a national strike. #NationalStrike

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez has been a hero throughout, advocating, witnessing, speaking up, getting assaulted by ICE thugs, but still never failing to help the people he represents. Bravo @jchavezmpls.bsky.social

Imagine a paramilitary gang kills 2 observers over 2 weeks, then shows up at your home to say, "You, observer, we know where you live." That's a death threat. If it happened to me or a colleague when I was a human rights observer in N. Ireland, we would've lodged complaints with three govts.

They’re eating the faces. The leopards, they’re eating the faces

Leon Weintraub überlebte vier Konzentrationslager. Als er befreit wurde, wog er nur noch 35 Kilo. Heute ist Weintraub 100 Jahre alt und kämpft weltweit gegen Extremismus. Ein Gesprächsauszug zum Holocaust-Gedenktag.

If Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO. What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions. Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi. Keep your eyes wide open.

"You know Bovino leaving won't st..." Yes I fucking know. I shipped 800 whistles across the country today. I'll ship another 500 tomorrow. I will not stop until they are stopped and also I will take the fucking W when one of their top fash fucks gets the boot.

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL: When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

Bovino’s retirement needs to be a cage. His command environment yielded Renee Good’s death, Alex Pretti’s death & Julio Sosa-Celis’ shooting. Failure to prosecute Bovino & everyone else materially responsible for these atrocities will be understood by ICE, CBP, etc as a green light for the next ones

When someone posts rage bait, it’s very tempting to jump into the fray. But if that person has 26ish followers, give it a miss. Save your irritation for someone other than Susan, who “loves God and my president” and doesn’t know the difference between there/their and your/you’re.

Well then, I declare here, in the presence of this assembly and in the presence of the entire American people, that I assume (I alone!) responsibility (political, moral, historical!) for everything that has happened. -->

Spinning up a hotline to help spouses of DHS agents leave their partners is an interesting idea. You'd have to actually do your homework to do it ethically, but I think the psychological impact would be tremendous

If you are running for president you should make clear you’re gonna send Greg Bovino to prison

The "paid protester" narrative makes a lot of sense when you realize the right just can't comprehend the idea of helping other people without a profit motive

In the 1950s, members of a cult called "The Seekers" believed the world would end in a great flood on a specific day. Some members gave up their belongings and quit their jobs to prepare. The prophesied day came, and there was no flood. /1

I never in all my years thought we would revisit this And here we are

Why do media companies print obvious lies from the propagandists in the Trump admin as if that is the “other side” of the story when you have objective, irrefutable evidence to disprove it? Traditional norms/practices don’t work with this regime. Why do you spread their lies?

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.

Whether it's protesters filming ICE agents or ICE agents murdering protesters, there's plenty to criticize on both sides.

CBS News is reporting that the ICE officers who killed Alex Pretti suffered internal injuries during the shooting.

Fra gli hub di resistenza ci sono la chiesa di All God's Children e il sex shop Smitten Kitten. Padre Callaghan è stato arrestato dall'Ice. Anne di SK tira un sospiro di sollievo quando al sex shop entra qualcuno che vuole un vibratore, perché il loro compito principale è diventato combattere l'Ice

Riprendiamo la battaglia per difendere il Servizio Sanitario Nazionale. Perchè se il diritto alla tutela della #salute é di TUTTI, la #sanità deve essere accessibile a TUTTI. Altrimenti il diritto diventa un privilegio #SalviamoSSN

Quando siete costretti a pagare di tasca vostra un’esame o una visita vi dicono che è inevitabile. Non lo é! È una scelta politica: meno #sanità pubblica, più risposte private #SalviamoSSN

My whole life, fascism was defined as being stopped by armed, masked agents of the national government who demand your papers, on pain of arrest, injury, or death. That’s now here, and the group of people who warned about that the most are either silent or in favor of it,

BREAKING NEWS: We are opening a formal investigation into the shooting involving federal agents in Portland today. Our office will take every step necessary to ensure the rights and security of Oregonians are protected. #orpol #breakingnews

It will only embolden them to commit even more blatant murder and crimes if local and state officials are blocked from accessing any of the evidence as what happened in the Minneapolis. If you deny accountability via legal systems, the federal government begins to lose its legitimacy to govern.

Americans should be requires to show ID and proof of citizenship at all times, unless they are at a gun show.

My kids have measles, there are no toys on the shelves, and I can't afford a steak. But at least there's no sign language interpreter at White House press briefings now.

Agli inizi del Novecento, il Congresso statunitense discusse un piano per acclimatare gli ippopotami nel paese. L’idea era di lasciare che questo animale si diffondesse nelle zone paludose lungo la costa del Golfo del Messico, in Florida, Louisiana e Mississippi. hookii.org/quando-gli-i...
