Do people actually understand the war waged against the Panthers by the U.S government? I think that most people really do not.

They hanged the people who got us the 8-hour workday.

Republicans control all the corporate media & most of the social media, so no one is ever going to see little tweaks the Democrats makes to their policy or messaging. The People are only going to hear about big, bold, consistent narratives that can break through Republican control.

Here Trump takes his entire theory of governance to its logical conclusion by demanding Democrats improve the parts of government he keeps trying to destroy

This is pretty wild. The head of Heritage basically said Nazi ideology is just another flavor of conservatism to be hashed out. Of Nick Fuentes he said: "Cancelling him is not the answer... When we disagree with a person's thoughts and opinions, we challenge those ideas in debate."

Just when Bill Gates is saying we shouldn't be aggressively dealing with climate change, scientists release a new assessment saying we're heading for ‘climate chaos.' Bad timing, Bill. www.latimes.com/environment/...

"It’s a scandal the U.S. is pulling back from efforts to address environmental challenges,” said Peter Gleick. “The rest of the world should ignore efforts by the US to delay progress on these problems… and I’m hopeful that other countries will continue to step up.” www.latimes.com/environment/...

California folks: if you have a Prop 50 mail-in ballot but haven't mailed it in yet, do it today. Please. I am begging you. It's literally the only question on the ballot and it'll take you like 30 seconds to fill out. Redistricting only happens if enough people vote for it by next Tuesday. #yeson50

Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food. He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

A common theme of Trump II is an utterly cowardly class of elites while everyday regular people have risen to the occasion

Stagflation The Fed Chair is describing stagflation but does not want to say the word.

“I think most people are going to say, OK, I had a great deal during COVID,” said Club For Growth President David McIntosh. “But now it’s back to business as usual, and I should be paying for health care.”

as one of the affected millions on ACA, I saw with all sincerity: fuck you, you utter piece of shit

Here's an example of how Trump's corruption factory works. 1. Coinbase put $46M into elections to help Trump allies. 2. Sends him a huge check for his inauguration. 3. Trump drops SEC lawsuit against Coinbase. 4. Trump demands big donation from Coinbase for ballroom. Done.

“If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?” - Billie Eilish after donating $11.5 million to fight hunger in a room full of rich celebrities at the WSJ annual innovators event.

"What the plan describes, in essence, is a shadow logistics network built on agreements with local police under the 287(g) program. These once symbolic gestures of cooperation are today a pipeline for real-time biometric checks and arrest notifications. Transportation is the next logical step."

We're seeing a massive institutional deportation and state violence apparatus being built and it honestly feels like people dont grasp the sheer scale of it and what already is in place. For every horrific video of masked feds kidnapping people there are so many people pushing paper to help.

“My hands were cuffed behind my back, my eyes were blindfolded and legs shackled. Then they released the dogs on us, each weighing around 80 or 90 kilos. You fall on your head while blindfolded, and your body starts spinning. One or two of the soldiers come and start kicking you with their...

Watch this ICE agent getting arrested for drunk driving tell a cop that he uses race to decide who to target. "You're a ginger, so I'm sure you're legal."

“The prevailing assumption is that the world has closed off pathways above 3°C warming – but in fact we could be derailed by vicious cycles in societies & nature. Catastrophic environmental change is still very much on the table“ - @jamesgdyke.info Assistant Director of @gsiexeter.bsky.social

Bill Gates hasn’t made sense on Climate since he teamed up with Bjorn Lomberg in 2009. This is just a restating of Bjorn’s book from this year about how we have a finite amount of money and we shouldn’t use it for climate. What they get wrong is that climate solutions are now fully profitable.

So Trump held military briefings on strikes in and around Venezuela and only allowed republicans to attend today? Am I understanding that only one party is now being briefed on military plans and actions? I really wonder if people realize how deep we are into the process of fascist consolidation.

NEW: ICE claims it hadn't yet received notice of the court order blocking Chanthila Souvannarath's deportation when it shipped him to Laos last weekend—but ACLU points out that ICE was certainly notified of his habeas petition a week earlier and questions whether his removal was retaliatory. 🧵

“It really exposes the inequality underlying our entire society.” Kanew & @jrclemmons.bsky.social discuss 700,000 Tennesseans needing food assistance, because many jobs don’t pay them enough to live. (Aka corporate welfare) Clemmons says even some state employees are on SNAP😕

Souvannarath is likely a citizen, ICE kidnapped him, he filed habeas, a judge ordered he not be deported, and *the next day* DHS deported him. DHS told the press they didn't get the order, which is undoubtedly a lie and will be perjury when they say it to the court. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

A big shakeup at ICE isn't reshuffling the deck chairs on the U-Boat. More "Kavanaugh Stops," more violent arrests, and more tear gas chaos is coming very soon to Philly and a slew of other big cities The terror we see in Chicago is going national. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Reporters who use “they say” in an interview like this have essentially adopted the politicized framing of the issue — rather than citing (and showing) what the law actually says.

This brain-dead discourse is *everywhere* and it drives me insane.

Multiple accounts on ICE Watch Facebook pages are reporting that agents pulled a couple out of their vehicle in Aurora, Illinois, arrested them, and then abandoned the couple’s toddler in the backseat.

CPB showed at a client’s home in nyc today for “consensual chat” about their social media posts. client is an american citizen if you care about such things.

This is next level authoritarianism.👇 "Following the suspension of two career prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice quietly revised a sentencing memo in a high-profile case — removing all references to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and President Donald Trump’s social media post."

“The Trump administration’s targeting of Hamdi comes one year after he himself argued that, in many respects, the Democrats were not the lesser of two evils relative to Trump, and urged Muslim Americans in swing states to punish Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for complicity in genocide.”

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

This colossal Times of London/de Blasio screwup gets more amazing at every turn. Scoop via @maxtani.bsky.social www.semafor.com/article/10/2...

New Quinnipiac University poll out today and hoo boy. If you can vote in New York or know people who can, then you need to activate. Not liking this Q-Poll trend as the racist attacks have mounted. Oct. 23-27: Mamdani +10 Oct. 3-7: Mamdani +13 Sep. 4-8: Mamdani +16

Oh joy! Pete Hegseth proudly announces the extrajudicial execution of four people on board a boat somewhere in the Pacific that he insists had drugs on board. It's a war crime. And Hegseth is very proud to be a war criminal.

Democrats are furious that the Trump Administration held a briefing on Capitol Hill today about U.S. military strikes on suspected drug boats. Only Republicans were invited. This is from Sen. Mark Warner D-VA.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her. She spoke out and was kicked out of the country. It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

Houston's leaders should be thinking, "I'm going to replace every one of those parking spots with a place for another Dem voter to live."

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown. Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

Yikes www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Their new plan same as the old plan: fuck you.

WTF 🤬 A police officer in Baltimore, Maryland, attempted to run over and kill a civilian who refused to answer their questions.

It’s true that neither party should engage in gerrymandering But when one party is trying to change the maps to permanently exclude the other, the adversely affected party must do whatever it can to defend democracy

A great irony of the climate change-driven insurance crisis is that the same insurers that are canceling homeowners’ policies en mass bc they’re too “high risk” will turn around and write policies for giant fossil fuel facilities next to the literal ocean in hurricane alley. Maybe this is why:

BREAKING NEWS: Charges dropped!!!

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming. Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

For anyone still pretending that mainstream Democrats will hold any of these monsters accountable if they get back into power
