"just kill them" so casually said is chilling

This is a stepping stone to declaring people non-citizens for the purposes of … well history says putting them in camps and sometimes actively exterminating them

As more info comes in this needs to be said: if it wasn’t some left wing radical that did it, and it appears it wasn’t, there need to be massive pushback because they are STILL pretending it’s some culture war and it is only in their own minds Dangerous times

As @chrisgeidner.bsky.social was saying yesterday

"Trump is a professional huckster and a profoundly lazy man. So instead of tending to his promises to working Americans, he entered office immediately pursuing his own bizarre obsessions." Spot on by @davidrlurie.bsky.social in PN. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-pote...

And while the right wing story was constantly changing, the police report and the story from the teenagers both remained consistent. The teenagers say that big balls was harassing and trying to pick up the 15-year-old girl, and when he wouldn't leave her alone the boy jumped in to defend her.

A disgusting, vindictive prosecution of this poor man by the Trump DOJ, led by law-lackey, Pamela Jo Bondi.

In light of Vanity Fair's recent idiotic decision, WaPo's offering its veteran critic a buyout, the NYT's "reassigning" three arts writers critics, etc., a lot of us are talking about the public's (and thus publications') lack of interest in criticism. It's part of a larger pattern of a war...

"Have you seen Felix?"

A man understandably refused to hand over his ID or get out of the car for a bunch of masked thugs who refused to identify themselves. And when he drove away, they opened fire on him. This isn’t how you do any sort of enforcement when your goal is to uphold the law. This is gangsterism.

I am a bit of a broken record on this, but are local DAs going to let this continue indefinitely? The ICE agents didn't have any kind of warrant, didn't identify themselves, and then recklessly started firing. Let them argue federal immunity.

Aren't all the people who took the govt buyout going to come onto the unemployment market in September?

In his first term, President Trump framed mental health as a national crisis, His second administration has paused rules to hold insurers accountable for unlawfully denying coverage. Read this story by @mayatmiller.bsky.social @jeremykohler.bsky.social

This is just classic, age-old ableist eugenics. It’s the exact same shit sold to us during the pandemic. “Don’t worry, it’s only the already disabled and chronically ill that are suffering and dying.” It’s all the same playbook. “Nothing to see here. Nobody with worth to worry about.”

Defund public safety to spark chaos, then parade troops as saviors while clutching the throne in a cynical power grab. #Authoritarianism

God and then there’s this one. I just… the neurodivergence. The inter generational connections. The generosity that begets connection and generosity. It’s all so much 🥹 bsky.app/profile/aska...

This video is the sweetest fucking thing in the world and you should watch it if you need an example of kindness, empathy, generosity, and acceptance

The rug yelled at me until I sat on the floor and rubbed its itchy ears

One man, the son of Holocaust survivors, said, “People being kidnapped without arrest warrants, without trial, without recourse, by the president of the United States’s ICE armies ... We are not headed toward an authoritarian fascist government; we are already there.” trib.al/f5JzLeJ

Educacioun that doth focus on 'workforce' alone wythout serious focus on the thrivinge and curiousitye of the individual and on the collective exploration of big questiouns about societye, knowledge, power, love, historye, and art -- that ys not educacioun, that ys just control.

Bombshell reporting by the NYT shows Trump is coordinating directly with Cuomo in the NYC Mayor's race. archive.ph/Wg2xU

I think "why are people mad at Dems" is pretty straightforward at this point they will crawl over broken glass to vote these people out and would like Dems to match that energy

You've literally had 100 years to support this and make it happen.

If you’re up .. here’s A cool dude

there are so many open layups and somehow dems can’t make them. republicans are literally pulling cancer treatment from children and they can’t message on that??? like what the fuck are we doing here

This is a 100% Official Bizarro World Scenario: A Kennedy promotes a conspiracy theory that gets somebody else assassinated.

Stop debating this website's growth potential. I don't care. I'm a digital hermit crab. If it dies, I'll find another shell as I've done a dozen times before.

While hunting up another word, I found that "sheep-biter" doesn't always refer to a dog, but can refer to old men pursuing younger women. So DJT, among many labels he's carried, is also a "sheep-biter". "You shall see an old sheep-biter, with slavering lip and bleary eye, court a comely woman.."

‘Defend your culture.’ ICE sure sounds like it’s borrowing from Replacement Theory as a recruitment tool. Who exactly are they hoping will apply — white nationalists?

In hindsight I should have titled this video: “Sometimes it’s best to take the twig out, other times it may be best to leave the twig in,” the stoic wisdom of Levi the llama

I just threw up in my mouth.

The Major Oak, Sherwood Forest in the 1950’s 🌳 1,000 years old, and one of England’s greatest trees. Still going strong

Turnabout is fair play. Anti-vaxxers are the Pharma shills. Thanks their success in undermining trust in vaccines, drug companies are now gleefully exploiting declining vaccination coverage to develop measles treatments and profit from dangerously sick infants and children.

Greetings! I’m here at Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles. Union del Barrio is holding a press conference regarding the detention of Amanda “Mandy” Trebach earlier today by federal agents. Trebach was volunteering as a community defender. W/ @melbuer.bsky.social

Another horrific series of press rights abuses tonight at hands of LAPD. Initial reports are 4 journalists injured (several bleeding), 3 cameras broken, 5 put in zip ties. All in defiance of state law, a judge's order, and chief's signed order. LAPD can't police itself. Maybe the judge will.

At the 0:53 mark of this video you can see photojournalist Nick Stern @plasticjesusart.bsky.social (shaved head and glasses) holding up his press ID before getting assaulted by an LAPD officers. When he turns there's blood pouring down his face.

The social media accounts for federal law enforcement agencies keep posting the exact kinds of things you'd report to federal law enforcement agencies if a normal citizen posted them.

A thread about some of the worst people in America.

Seizing the property of private organizations to punish dissent is totalitarianism. It is illegal, anti-Conservative, Soviet, and sickening. Yet people who drool ‘freedom’ whisper not a word to object. Lift not a finger.

Not great that people like Micah Beckwith are in positions of power but don’t understand how our constitution works, and are arrogant in their ignorance.
