The worst politicians in America are about to quote Martin Luther King Jr. You can’t quote “I have a dream” on MLK Day then legislate against that dream every other day of the year.

like i'm a dyed in the wool atlanticist. hell i've worked in both the UK and US government and am a dualie. this shit is fucking heart breaking and mind breaking to watch

We’re the bad guys now.

Again, I’m going to keep banging the drum that the fact we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is not only a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations & poses a massive threat to national security & world order but also should immediately end this presidency.

I’ve been grateful for this bookmark since I was a Teen! Enjoy

WE WILL NEVER FORGET.

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

YES‼️ YES ‼️ YES ‼️

Seems like they’re just not that into us 🤷🏼

Elections do matter.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Watch this video. This kid is a genuine hero, who paid a horrific, unimaginable price for standing up for the most vulnerable people in our society. Whatever depraved depths of brutality, cruelty or ugliness you believe ICE is capable of, I guarantee it's worse than you think.

The @latimes.com list of the 101 best Los Angeles movies is a thing of beauty. Hats off and many thanks to @joshuarothkopf.bsky.social; delighted to have cast a ballot, and excited to read so many wonderful colleagues on so many wonderful films: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

And don't sleep on this killer essay by @theamynicholson.bsky.social about what makes an L.A. movie — with a fun illustration of its own! www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

I posted this meme a couple of days ago that says this:

Of course they did, and as someone who's been in front of many juries as an attorney I'll tell you why: jurors hate government overreach more than anything, and this case was such a blindingly obvious instance of serious government overreach that everyone associated with it should probably be fired.

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe. Share it widely.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Is this just an Edmonton thing, or is there a wider phenomenon of fuckery: more and more, it seems red traffic lights are less mandatory and more optional. I drive for a living and every day I see someone run a red light. Mostly on left turns, but sometimes straight, just “fuck it, I’m going.”

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Yesterday, I wrote about the ongoing resistance to ICE terror in Minneapolis. “With each passing day, networks widen, tactics crystallize, and previously unconnected people find their bravery. […] Yes, we are on our own. But…we are not alone. Take heart, friends. Don't let them see you sweat.”

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods
