Children have been spending weeks/months in an #ICE detention facility in a remote part of Texas where monitors have heard accounts of shortages of clean water, chronic sleep deprivation and kids struggling for hygiene supplies and medical attention www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... #DonaldTrump

“There's virtually no willingness [by the left in 🇳🇱] to use violence, especially when it comes to personal violence. So I don't understand at all why we're talking about Antifa, when in [the Netherlands] too, the threat—if we look at extremists—comes much more from the far right and jihadism”

“Back in the day, when Stalin was presiding over his Cultural Revolution, this was called ‘mobilising the masses’ against ‘bourgeois liberal’ elites, and denunciation played exactly the same role in identifying offenders for the authorities to prosecute or fire.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Live from "war ravaged" Portland

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats. The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

“The larger pattern, researchers say, points in the opposite direction: White supremacist, anti-government, and misogynist beliefs account for the lion’s share of ideologically motivated gun violence.”

Trump is not a physician, but he plays one on TV. He continues to poison America's relationship with truth, science and medicine. #Tylenol #Trump #RFKJr #science #medicine #conspiracy #quackery #poison #truth #lies

Military service is about courage and sacrifice. That’s what my father, a Marine, and my mother, a Navy veteran, taught me. But awarding medals for the massacre at Wounded Knee is cruelty, not honor. And reaffirming them today only deepens the injustice. (1/2🧵)
