I made the mistake of going on Facebook. It's wild to me that folks will, in good faith, go to a video showing Alex Pretti being murdered, with a full break down in text, And reply "well he was brandishing a gun". There really is no working with these people. Where do we even go from here?

Alex Pretti - who DHS labeled a domestic terrorist - honoring a veteran that passed away in the ICU.

JFC y'all got Mina Kimes to post about something other than sports ball. Between this and Will Stancil going Woke2 I think the GOP doesn't realize how badly they are disturbing the general peace.

Yeah because primaries represent the people and aren't crowning ceremonies. Y'all say this, all while ready to crown Gavin Newsom

Incidentally, Durbins seat is up and the primary is coming soon. Highly suggest voting for Robin Kelly, one of the most progressive members of Congress vs Raja, who is basically trying to buy the seat and is a corporate middle of the road, business as usual politician. share.google/F3SEPPJr6hKp...

Just walked by a food donation box and it just makes me sick that a significant portion of Americans think that the governments job is to murder you, tell you who you can or can't love, shun you if you look different or worship differently, but if you're hungry you're fucking on your own.

Anyone who is moved to this tragic moment to act, do so not out of anger, but out of love for yourself, your family and those around you. Keep this in mind as you act because at the end of the day that is all we have, and if we aren't doing it for that, we will not succeed.

The people in power care more about their positions in the government than the actual Constitution that it was built on. It's the most important document when it's time to oppress us but when it's time to be held to account, it's just a formality. This can't continue.

FUCKING HOW, BLUE SKY?

Yesterday, Minneapolis gave us hope. That’s what they’re trying to kill: the will of a people who are willing to fight them.

TRAINING DOES NOT STOP MURDER. WHEN YOU BLAME ISSUES ON TRAINING ALL YOU ARE SAYING IS THAT THESE DEATHS ARE UNINTENTIONAL MISTAKES. WHEN REGULAR CITIZENS KILL PEOPLE YOU DONT CALL FOR TRAINING YOU SEND THEM TO PRISON. FUCK YOU, FROM THE DEEPEST REACHES OF MY SOUL, FUCK YOU.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing? ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW. I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

I'm glad Gavin Newsom has officially announced his candidacy for president because now we as the people can officially reject him. We need someone better than "dunks on Trump" because most of us do that, every day. We need someone whose solutions to problems isn't sweeping them under the rug.

Everything that ICE does is never meant to be legal. Their goal is to manufacture consent with the MAGA base and to make everyone else afraid of them. It's why they keep accusing detained Americans of assaulting or impeding them but never filing charges. It's all for show.

🗣️NO ICE IN OUR STREETS! #MOworkers in Kansas City are joining the nationwide Day of Truth and Freedom, right as our siblings in Minnesota launch their historic general strike 💪

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

If you think this was an honest mistake, I'm sure you also think Body Cams And Training can fix ICE.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

The cold chill can't stifle the warmth and energy of so many people. Bless all of #Minneapolis of and stay strong! #generalstrike

My latest: How Renee Good's murder and paramilitary assaults on US cities reflect longstanding right-wing race war fantasies and Stephen Miller's fixation with a novel about white genocide. I also talk about the stories we tell and live in opposition to these narratives and share a must-reads list.

China catching strays again

i left the church and have nothing to do with it anymore but something happens when i see priests and pastors and rabbis and imams and sikhs at protests going so hard in mega harsh conditions i get choked up. this is how all of that is supposed to be. that's what all of that is supposed to be for.

The thing here is that your parents made that choice. And the wrong one at that. Freedom is the freedom to make those choices for your own body. Women aren't incubators for children. You're free to not get an abortion.

Chances are the majority of the funding for ICE is gonna go to losing a shit ton of lawsuits.

If you want to know what people mean when they say Democrats are "controlled opposition," rather than whipping votes against ICE funding, Hakeem Jeffries struck a deal with Republicans to allow Democrats to feign outrage at ICE while still funding the spending package.

this is not a tiktok it is a documentary

Democrats, what brand of Body Camera or de-escalation training would fix this? Because you're funding a government that says "if you're a white federal agent, murder is legal."

If you aren't doing a general strike by organizing with your co-workers or your community, you're just doing unplanned PTO in solidarity.

This take is privileged lazy and selfish. "Harm reduction" means nothing to the people still harmed by it, and treating them as inconsequential is why your God Queen didn't win.

Yeah well when your dad beats the shit out of you and your mom just stands there, you learn.

Incidentally, I hate the phrase "everything happens for a reason" implying that child molestation, rape, and other atrocities have a purpose in life. Much prefer the phrase "the universe tends to unfold as it should" implying that eventually, shit will work out and we just gotta keep trying.

if taking hormones goes against god then it means god wanted me dead at 15 when my body stopped making insulin. don't pull that "god made you perfect the way you are naturally" crap if you cant explain why i need insulin shots to live

As far as I can tell, Congress’ job is to call what the White House is doing illegal and then rubber stamp its budget

This is why ICE is in Minnesota

IMHO the reason why JD Vance is so bad at this is that unlike most of the Trump goblins he doesn't actually believe in this shit. He's the kind of loser who will do anything to fit in. He probably goes home every night and sits dead eyed while his wife tells him to keep going.

Absolutely delighted to share that VIBE CHECK has been nominated for an Ambie for Best News and Politics Podcast! It’s important to me that black queer people can be taken seriously as authoritative voices on not just pop culture and LGBT topics, but leading news and politics stories as well.

Gavin Newsom has nothing to offer: defector.com/gavin-newsom...

Friendly reminder that the average Liberal's plan for holding DINOs who vote for garbage legislation is to "Primary them". Incidentally, whenever a DINO is being primaried, they suggest letting the DINO get into office so Republicans don't get the seat, and to hold them accountable after.

Maybe don't nominate these people then

I've given Will Stancil a lot of shit about his takes on the economy but good on him for standing up for his neighbors. At the end of the day that's all that matters: being there for people when you need them. I hope this epiphany carries into his other political ideas.

Unsurprising to me that the Republicans deposing Jack Smith's whole argument is "Trump didn't try to overturn the election, but if he did try he didn't mean to, but if did mean to it's because Democrats cheated and if they didn't they only hired you to mess up his chances in 2024"

The reason why Toad is Toads because someone asked Shigeru why the same MF kept getting captured in those castles and he said "uh...uhh no they're actually all different yet identical people who are all named the same"

hey guys, just to confirm this is my fundraiser. i didn't want to ask for help, but i do need it. my cancer is back. i am going through a lobectomy next week, the same surgery Walter White undergoes. i can't express how grateful i am. thank you so much everyone. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ge...

It's amazing how much empathy liberals lack and how they are just as punitive minded as their conservative relatives. They are just as racist, misogynistic, xenophobic and anti-LGBTQ.

It's wild because all news headlines are about the Clintons being held in contempt but say absolutely nothing about them Voting no on Bondi and the DOJ. I hope y'all are ready for what comes next now that it's clear The Epstein files won't save you.

Like it or not, the reason Trump won a second time and why MAGA is so pervasive, is because Trump remained active with his base after he lost, even if for selfish gains. Most other candidates, including the Greens, went back to business as usual after their loss. That needs to change.

That's why I like Knives out. They are Why/Howdunits more so than whodunnits.
