I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

genuinely crying at this one

watching even a few seconds of the kirk funeral makes it clear a large quantity of this country is ready for full on nazi authoritarianism and we have to really grapple with how much we need to put a stop to this as quickly as possible

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

9-0 SCOTUS ruling from last year: “Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors.”

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

They claim autocracy isn’t their plan, but they sure are governing like there is never going to be a Democratic president again.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

A lot of people aren’t going to want to hear this but letting a tiny group of people hoard all the wealth - because of the delusion that you could somehow ever get into that group through hard work or merit - is actually the cause of most of the problems in this country

The shape of politics in the US right now is increasingly that the media, political and economic elites are allied with the Trump regime against the actual people of the country who hate it

Hold on, these are the "we don't have to bake your gay wedding cake" people?

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Trump/Vance/Stephen Miller are busy spreading blatant lies and glossing over violence committed by the far-right. They're establishing a justification to unleash the government against anyone who opposes MAGA. All of this must be understood against the backdrop of Trump’s declining popularity.

Universal childcare is on the ballot this November — but you don't need to wait to take action. Sign the @ny4childcare.bsky.social petition below calling for full-day care for NYC two-year-olds.

ICE claimed the father tried to hit them with his car or that he "dragged" one of the agents. Then bystander video was released showing this was completely false. ICE executed a man on the street in broad daylight.

They're going to keep going until they get trans people killed. They want trans people murdered en mass.

hey @safety.bsky.app @jay.bsky.team @aaron.bsky.team what the fuck

Some people are somehow still unable to accept the reality of where we are right now, while the fascists' propagandists openly say "Just kill 'em," about our most vulnerable people, on the most watched network in our nation.

Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them. And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

Any news organization with a shred of decency would fire Brian Kilmeade immediately. There is no gray area about this.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

That msnbc guy got fired for saying these words

Please don't forget, and don't let anyone else forget, they did this openly.

all far right posters be like “civil war postponed, will reconvene if a new possible reichstag moment presents itself”

guys, we have a tone shift

I have serious doubts as to whether, after all of its politically-motivated firings, the FBI has the capacity and expertise to actually investigate Kirk’s murder. The lawsuit filed today against Patel and the Bureau describes a complete clown show that leaves all of us less safe

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

rightwing media ecosystem operates by stoking hatred and anger and divisions every single day, they want people to constantly be afraid and want people to hate eachother, everything we are seeing is a result of the destablization the right has profited off of

I don’t give a shit if JD Vance doesn’t give a shit about the Constitution. Striking civilian boats in international waters is both unconstitutional and a war crime. The party of “law and order” clearly doesn’t care about respecting it.

"Bluesky is boring." Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually. When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

"How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?" A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons. Presented by The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector.

over time I believe this will end up being one of the most unpopular things the administration ever does a death sentence for many hobbies and all the average consumer sees is that you’re taking away all their bargains one of the few policies that has a direct negative effect on almost everyone

Once Donald Trump gets the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law – what comes next?

As a governor who cares about the well-being of my people, I can’t live in a fantasy land where I pretend Trump is not tearing this country apart for personal greed and power.

Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense. If not in self-defense, only non-lethal actions, such as warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed. "Not yielding to pursuers" or "suspected of carrying drugs" doesn't carry a death sentence.

Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

Prisoners inside #AlligatorAlcatraz report brutal attack by guards. “People started shouting because a relative had died...shouting for freedom. At that moment, a prison team came in and started beating everyone...[W]e are not criminals, we are not murderers.” www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

the complete embrace of nihilism and the rejection of being genuine is the greatest danger to humanity right now

🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.
