Just left an ICE Protest in Portland OR that started at City Hall and marched to the ICE building. Main demand was "revoke" the lease that lets the agency use their building. Crowd was 500-1000. They gassed massively after about an hour. Had to pull a lot of 16-17 year old girls out of the gas.

has anyone gathered those stories of gluesenkamp perez being a weirdo grifter before she became the new kyrsten sinema. bc i want to read them all.

Despite a European Union wide regulation which requires Israeli settlement products to be accurately labeled, less than 10% of all settlement-produced wine in occupied Palestinian territory is labeled as-such. Trade with illegal settlements is illegal according to the World Court.

Pleased to see that the Working Families Party in New York asks candidates seeking endorsement if they would support two cornerstone pieces of legislation designed to restrict and curtail military assistance to Israel, and whether or not they'd support Tlaib's reso to recognize the Gaza genocide.

Excellent 🧵. So proud of our comrades in MN right now ❤️

A former Palantir exec just published an extortion letter in the Washington Post: Democrats must fund tech oligarchs, abandon antitrust, and create 15 deregulated corporate zones—or “lose.” When I challenged her, she blocked me. Tech’s moral rot, exposed: www.thenerdreich.com/silicon-vall...

As a wise tweet once said: I bet this shit hits so hard if you're stupid

this is an irresponsible post, boosting to publicly shame

Due to internal pushback and the sheer volume of social media posts that have been flagged, I’m told CGIS agents are now being asked to investigate only “threatening” Charlie Kirk-related posts from Coast Guard members. Only “left-leaning” posts are being investigated. Additionally,

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Thank you Robert Redford for BASEketball

In 1950 (and in the years after) congressional "investigations" led to mass firings of people in government suspected of being gay, part of the "Lavender Scare." This effort was led by Senator Joseph McCartney, also famously responsible for the later mass persecution of suspected communists.

Stephen Miler is open about what's coming: a federal law enforcement crackdown on its political opponents

We’re in kind of a transition stage where the Nazis and the chattering class are claiming Kirk as one of their own, and the latter group is only able to do so by lying about who Kirk was. Wonder if we will soon move into a stage where the hagiography proceeds without whitewashing.
