this is like half of r/ups now

This is an "I need to change my life" video

me: wow, truly nothing actually matters. why bother? japanese bunny account: mimi-chan is very fat and slept all day. let's do our best, mikata! me, tearing up: let's do our best, mimi-chan.

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.

they’re intenionally advertising to and recruiting far right loyalists. they post and reply to explicit groyper memes. they’re not super subtle about what this government is

Black Americans are overrepresented among federal workers and could be especially hard hit by furloughs and diminished services. Black Americans make up 13% of the total U.S. population, but nearly 20% of the federal workforce.

How bad are tariffs going? I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff I’ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business. UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me. That makes it 5x more expensive!!! 🤯

A federal agency targeting an individual for posting about its activities is extremely chilling and should trouble us all. I have no choice but to stand with this guy from the fucking Cato Institute against a fascist government and its lawless police force.

“'The fact that we don't have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons' true goal here is,' a network correspondent said. 'And it's not journalism.'"

Chicago police chief says ICE agents making false 911 calls - www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRJ4...

This a fantastic @callingbullshit.bsky.social example. What proportion of US citizens has ever used ChatGPT? 35% Now you'd need basically 100% of people who have ever even briefly used ChatGPT to have had a prolonged romantic relationship with it. Bullshit!

BREAKING: The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 100-page opinion -- says it is unequivocally, lopsidedly easy to determine that the Trump administration's view of birthright citizenship is wrong. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

the federal government is running ethnic terror pogroms executed by washed out skinheads

Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby. "I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother. “I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

NEW: By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to cancel Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan migrants. KBJ, dissenting, says she "cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference" while "lives hang in the balance." www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now is meant to distract you from this.

This ostentatious Christian with the big cross around her neck is really saying that people who cannot prove their citizenship in an emergency room should be left on the sidewalk to die. And that's what she believes.

Trump and Republicans spread lies and scapegoat immigrants to distract you from how they are picking your pockets. Do not be fooled.

Oracle employees who expressed support for Palestine were "referred to internal mental health resources." Oracle is about to own TikTok.

"Only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities." 31 USC 5114(b)

This is straight-up murder.

Recent speeches by President Trump and Pete Hegseth outline their plans to eliminate “the enemy within” starting with the residents of American cities. trib.al/THyUdUN

"In the absence of a lucid and engaged president, there's a free-for-all as to who gets to use those powers in his name" www.indignity.net/indignity-mo...

Release the jobs report. And while you’re at it, release the Epstein files.

DOKOUPIL: Republicans says what you're really fighting for is taxpayer dollars for illegal aliens. I know that's not strictly true-- ELIZABETH WARREN: Excuse me, not strictly true? It is a flat out lie!

And the fact checkers backed them up

So it wasn't just that people were being credulous, it's that there was proof Trump was lying at the time but those people didn't care because they wanted to show they were fair and objective (to Trump, not the facts their readers needed to know)

When you recall that political reporters ran interference for Trump over his "opposition" to Project 2025, remember that even AT THAT TIME there was a hidden camera interview with Vought where he said that was bullshit and he didn't mean it. www.mediamatters.org/russ-vought/...

Every blue state governor should be maxing out the size and resources of armed agencies that they have reason to believe they will be more loyal to them. Maybe they are (it’s not the kind of thing you publicize), but if they aren’t they need to be. State DOJ agents, IG office agents, etc etc

Important to remember that in the immediate aftermath of the Tony Dokoupil outburst against Coates the very first outlet to get a report on the internal conflict at CBS over whether or not to punish Tony for his racism was Bari Weiss' rag the Free Press.

Everyone's in agreement that the CBS debacle is because Ta Nehisi Coates single handedly made the senior level staff undergo an internal civil war by rage baiting one guy via his mere existence, yes?

Trump’s 2024 coalition has already fallen apart. Polls show Trump has lost the young, Black, and Latino supporters he attracted in 2024, leaving him with the same old white working-class base.

This raid is disgusting, abominable behavior, traumatizing children and families in their homes. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory. They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth. But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi. RIP, Jamal. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Just noting that a university that signed this compact would be agreeing to gut clinics and institutes like, say, the Knight Institute, whose mandate is to promote free speech and press freedom. What would it even mean for us to be “neutral”?

Just days after Doctors Without Borders (MSF) announced it had to stop medical work in Gaza City due to Israeli attacks, Israeli forces have killed staff member Omar Hayek & injured 4 others in Deir al Balah. Staff were wearing MSF vests, waiting for a bus to a field hospital.

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

it's right there in the post, but: "They found a bottle of Opium-brand perfume, arrested him for narcotics possession, and turned him over to ICE"

no one will pay any price for this

If you run exciting, constituent-focused candidates with strong core convictions, you will expand the electorate, you say?

A new KFF study reports: 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act DOUBLE. Further, 15 million people will be thrown off their health care entirely.   Unacceptable. We can’t subject millions of Americans to this unnecessary suffering.

A White House-ordered Hatch Act violation happening on every agency website and in every federal employee's out-of-office autoresponder.

When a state or local law enforcement official violates your rights, you can sue for money damages. When a federal official violates your rights — you largely cannot, thanks to a quirk of the law and the Supreme Court's decision not to find an inherent cause of action to sue under the Constitution.

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

again, this gutter racist was elevated in large part by "liberal" universities desperate to find "thoughtful" "non-racist" books by conservatives with which to propagandize students.

Workers at the Department of Education tell me their out of office messages were changed without their consent or knowledge to blame Democrats for the shutdown.
