ICE Barbie talks about DHS's role in protecting the vote as if it's always had a role protecting the vote - which it does not, and never did. It's an "Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia" lie.

Gemini smoking the maga pipe?

The US is traumatizing thousands of kids in detention camps. But we are also traumatizing *millions* of kids who are in hiding or fear their parents being snatched. Like how we have tens of thousands of kids who have survived school shootings, and a whole generation shaped by active shooter drills.

This moment is bringing out the best in some of us (like this speaker) and bringing out the worst in others of us. This is a time for choosing to live a life that you're proud of, or not. ❤️

If you were a journalist or creative that was laid off by the Washington Post and you want to work for an independent, pro democracy news outlet, Democracy Docket is hiring. bit.ly/45Qaw4K

Hard follow 😁

The fascists and the oligarchs have gone too far. They’ve revealed themselves (& been revealed). The world will never forget that they are abusers & democracy destroyers. They have no options now. They went with the coup attempt when it looked like it would save them. It won’t. Democracy rising.

funny how the man who cost the Washington Post hundreds of thousands in subscriptions by canceling the paper's presidential endorsement—almost certainly the most destructive decision in the history of the paper, if not journalism itself—still has his job

So ... Jeffrey Epstein was the Godfather of anti-wokeism. That's harsh 🤣

Dems should demand a full ICE withdrawal from Minneapolis as a condition for any deal. Please, just give us this. Get them out

Democratic politicians know that ICE isn’t just murdering people or kidnapping children or terrorizing constituents they’re sworn to protect, they know they’re constructing a system of concentration camps around the country. And they still cant be bothered to stand up against them.

Why do Senate Dems make it sound like the recommendations after a routine audit!? You aren't fixing discrepancies! This is unacceptable and insulting. The world is watching & shaking their heads. Noem and Miller gotta go.

Three more #kakapo nests found on Anchor Island in the last two days: JEM (2 eggs), Yasmine (1 egg) and Marama (photo; she was protective of her 2 eggs). There are now 11 females nesting on Anchor, 6 on Whenua Hou, and some (TBC) on Chalky. #kakapo2026 #conservation #parrots

Head's up; even if Democrats refuse to fund ICE by Jan 30, that 73 BILLION allocated to ICE by the Republicans is still available. It's almost like it makes no difference at all. I'd anyone knows that it does, pls share 🫤 www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

If I ever teach social movements again (lol/cry), we'll read this: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I wonder what would happen if people went to spaces like this and the Smithsonian and did exhibits that 1) explained WHAT was removed, 2) explained import of it, and 3) explained how ICE goons are related (eg. fugitive slave posses).

When there's a dozen videos proving every claim by the regime wrong, people make a conscious choice to believe their lies. Trying to prove them wrong implies respect for their choice to believe lies. React to their choice with disgust instead.

Maybe Greenland could invade us instead?

Dokoupil's both-sidesing of Jan6 is especially unfortunately given that @macfarlanenews.bsky.social has been relentless on the Jan6 beat.

If he got hit hard enough to cause internal bleeding he'd have been knocked on his ass, not taking deadly aim

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Yes!! Thank you!

over the course of 1871, congress held seven months of hearings on ku klux klan and other white vigilante violence in the south, they took detailed testimony from hundreds of black men and women attesting to klan terror. (1/?)

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Grok has not "turned off" its CSAM generator for anyone - it has simply put it behind a paywall. Stop uncritically repeating the narratives of tech companies.

a major american city is being forced to close schools because armed government agents are raiding and pepper spraying and terrorizing children and teachers for social media content

House Oversight Committee Republicans refused to vote on a motion to subpoena the DHS & ICE in relation to earlier today. You need to give Democrats control of the House so they can control these Committees. The Oversight Dems have been great, but they’re still in the minority.

Someone asked me how hard it would be for Dem leadership to just say, plainly, that Trump & Co. committed crimes and violated the Constitution in Venezuela. If they did that, they would have to explain why they aren't consequently trying to impeach him, nor even calling for it.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. It would only take a tiny handful of Republican Congress members or senators to stop the slide of America toward authoritarian fascism, but nope. They're all in.

Venezuela is mentioned in Project 2025 18 times...

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

my plan to get this country back on track consists of one bullet point: i propose we stop pretending stupid people arent stupid just because theyre loud and theres a lot of them

Trump also needs to distract from the release of Jack Smith's video deposition

This is what historical persons felt like in after the lawless actions of rogue leadership and before the crushing consequences yet to come

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

That sonofabitch

Who knew in 2010 most social media platforms would use algorithms to enchant our kids with Christian nationalist hate and to distrust the germ theory of disease.
