“Defund was ineffective” yeah that’s why a new US President at the height of their political capital decided they had to respond directly to it, even before addressing the guy who tried to have half of Congress killed.

Hiiiii, feel free to keep deaf people out of this! So sick of the condescension disguised as faux concern about how disabled people "need" AI. We don't. Autocaptions are almost always very bad, and then people like you use their existence to justify taking away actual accommodations that work.

👀 ICE deported two U.S. citizen children with their mother to Guatemala, even though she had apparently elected to leave them with their grandmother in Florida. The govt is now arranging their return under court order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

So many average citizens have stood up to Trump. Alex Pretti went to the street to protect his fellow humans, who the Trump regime was harming. He lost his life for it. Renee Good lost her life for resisting. And sorry, but—these fucking cowards in the Senate can’t vote against Trump nominees?

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad: "The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

“We were told at every point that the family was at a different location, and even up to last night when I spoke with ICE, they told me a different location than where they actually were,” he told reporters last week."

It’s why Dems have a very tough time selling their “we’re not going to forget” tough talk now. They let up off the gas to keep Liz Cheney onboard last time, why wouldn’t they do it again?

The death penalty is a national shame and a scourge.

I’ve been photographing anti-ICE and related yard/window/tree/street signs around Minneapolis. The variety of commercial and especially handmade signs is amazing, as is the urge for people to let their neighbors know they care and are furious in ways big and small. Batch #5

It was about a year or so ago we were told we should silently concede them the right to illegally rendition people to overseas torture camps in the name of addressing immigration. That was the *savvy* political play we were told.

This is one reason why we cannot "concede" on "the worst of the worst" framing. Defund the police, all the police, is the only way.

“Two of the officers at the scene had undergone crisis intervention training for handling such incidents, Howard County police said.”

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful. Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

15 people had gathered one night for a training offered by Extinction Rebellion NYC and Climate Defiance, two climate activist groups that engage in nonviolent civil disobedience. A few days later the FBI arrived at the door of a former member asking about the group.

Ambitious politicians could offer free or subsidized childcare, healthcare, housing, or paid leave. But they don't, because the idea of doing something like that has somehow become seen as too radical. So instead we get tax credits and rebates.

The world is ending man, let's get fucking radical and weird with it

Dropsite reports “Black rain” + “nuclear winter” caused by Israeli strikes on oil depots in Tehran - chemicals are producing acidic precipitation that causes skin burns + severe lung damage on contact - the rain is corrosive + could damage structures - heavy metals leaking into soil/water systems

This song feels incredibly relevant today.

NEW: The Trump-Vance-Rubio administration has once again bypassed Congress to push through a $151.8 million bomb sale to Israel —>

It is no surprise why this was covered up bsky.app/profile/nico...

It is still happening. No country is stepping in. Cuba has helped so many movements and people around the world and they are being abandoned to die

Anderson Cooper: “So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?” Answer: “Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing.” #HousingFirst #UrbanTruth

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent." But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

If true, Sunny was illegally detained along with several other fellow travelers - both citizens and permanent residents - whose whereabouts are also unknown. Where are they? Why won’t CBP answer?

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter www.statesman.com/business/art...

I think the immediate post-9/11 taboo around questioning military decisions/leaders is well past and it’s time to recenter responsible leadership over blind patriotic obedience. “Support the troops” means not letting them be wielded as a tool of oppression and blind violence.

These people genuinely think they are going to reform capitalism and then a socialist gets in office and they are like wait I can’t do anything at all about the cops what kinda snail pace do you expect to reform capitalism to socialism at. We are going to die bro

Once again reminding everyone that the majority of people stranded in the UAE are not influencers or expats or tourists, but South Asian (and SE Asian and African) workers whose passports are often controlled by their employers and whose govts have made no attempts to repatriate.

The thing about me being a GenAI skeptic is that I am a third gen early adopter. My machine worker grandpa thought computers were the future and had an Apple IIE. I had two Geocities sites. Was on Facebook when it was still Harvard only. You know how hard you have to try to make me hate new tech???

New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...

“Mass slaughter has become the tiresome and monotonous business of the day and the end is no closer. Bourgeois statecraft is held fast in its own vise. The spirits summoned up can no longer be exorcised.” - Rosa Luxemburg, the Junius Pamphlet www.marxists.org/archive/luxe...

Anyway, while working one of the marginal jobs that immigrants have worked since time immemorial, he got picked up by local cops, and then ICE. And then, and then boy, my aging boomer parents found themselves as his advocate in the system, and begin to get an education in the US immigration system

The degree to which narco organizations are the utter opposite of communism, and more accurately described as the end point of unregulated capitalism… is such a dead giveaway to how much this is all just scary word salad.

In case you needed any more proof that corporate media is built on a foundation of white supremacy...

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

“You show up to the scene and you see federal agents pointing their weapons at people, and you don’t feel a duty to protect the residents of this community and instead choose to leave the scene?” council member Aisha Chughtai asked.

"Journalists covering the U.S. and Israel’s war on Iran should be telling their audiences not only what they know but what they were prevented from finding out, and by whom."

Cuba is in a major blackout now. No country brave enough to stop it. No people powerful enough to pressure their government. Bleak

anti-trans Dems ate shit last night

He just shared an anecdote of an Uber driver being detained after delivering food to a police station.

Got a call from a DC number (which doesnt accept incoming calls) asking if it was my House rep’s number. Probably fine

“Satellite images show that the (girls elementary) school (directly hit by a US bomb) was separated from the base by a wall between 2013 and 2016. The (medical) clinic (also directly hit) was walled off between 2022 and 2023…it's possible American military planners had not updated their target sets”

“This is the best healthcare that many aliens have received in their entire lives.” This is how the DHS ends their press release announcing the death of Alberto Gutierrez-Reyes in ICE detention in California. @lataco.bsky.social

Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez reiterated Spain's opposition to the war in Iran, condemning the war for causing suffering among civilians while “lining the pockets” of a select few and for other leaders “to use the smoke screen of war to conceal their failures” – an apparent jab at Trump.

What if Dems appealed to eugenicist roadkill-eating voters instead? Is the tent too small for people who save roadkill in their trunk to eat but then accidentally get too drunk at Peter Luger’s to eat the roadkill before going on vacation so stage the roadkill as a public bicycle homicide instead??

Bro, ICE is still here kidnapping people, now they’ve even got transit vans advertising fake companies.

losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now
