"You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” Rest in power, Dr. Jane Goodall

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

My demand for Democrats getting my vote are pretty simple. Cut off all financial donations from fascists and fascist sympathizers. All of them. Declare that your top priority is removing the fascists from power and making them face justice. "Wait but...." You just lost my vote.

This abhorrent comment from Brian Kilmeade really fell by the wayside because it happened just hours before Charlie Kirk was shot and killed. But it still says something that a top Fox News host can now just call for the extermination of mentally ill homeless people, and it barely makes a ripple.

I can't stress enough that this is how is exactly how genocides are incited. They always use language to couch it in self defense to justify violence against their targets.

stop it

Jesus

What we know about the Charlie Kirk alleged shooter Tyler Robinson so far: - White - Straight - Male - Christian - Republican - Conservative background - 2nd Amendment supporter - experienced firearms user - a good son - 22 years old - outside of the murder, law abiding.

Trump posted a video to Truth Social about the killing of Charlie Kirk. Trump calls Kirk a "martyr," blames "radical left political violence," and says he'll go after everyone who "contributed to this atrocity." The video is longer than Bluesky's limit so I'll break it up in two parts below.

I think this is right, and I think we’ve lived recently in a time where political violence was at a pretty low ebb, post-90s, and then 10 years ago or so something happened and wouldn’t you know it, it started creeping back up again. Wonder what that thing was.

please do not post things you don’t want to see on The Free Press and Fox News later this evening

Some of you are about to find out what your fantasies of violent revolution are going to lead to. This will lead to nothing but darkness, but too many people confuse hurting an enemy with actually achieving a goal and solving a problem. It's an issue that plagues all identities and communities.

You are going to see a lot of attacks from both the right and the center on leftists and liberals for killing Charlie Kirk. Look, nobody should have killed Charlie Kirk. But I promise you that the millions of progressives in this country did not get together and pick someone to carry out a mission.

Yes and inevitable because the Trump administration is actively trying to provoke civilians to the point where someone snaps and kills a Nation Guard troop or an ICE agent. They want their Reichstag fire but haven't paused to think what that does to occupied territory populace. Or troops.

This is open and unabashed anti-Muslim & anti-Palestinian bigotry. This is what happens when we talk about antisemitism in a vacuum and only prioritize one group at the expense of others. The only way to fight hate is together. Fighting bigotry against all is the way we protect ourselves.

“In MSF’s nearly 54 years of operations, rarely have we seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians.” The GHF-run food distributions in Gaza, Palestine, have become sites of “orchestrated killing and dehumanisation”, not humanitarian aid. www.msf.org/ghf-run-food...

Can’t let this happen. Of course we’ll have zero doubts who the dumbest people in America are after this

Can we fast forward to the part where history looks back on this with abject disdain?

it just screams "public service"

That story only makes sense in the context of Mamdani trying to "cheat" the system by "pretending" he's Black and that only makes sense of you believe that Black people get stuff just for being Black, to which i say, I wish.

because fuck them whales

Ryan, Fandos, and Rubenstein are covering for Lasker being an avowed white supremacisf eugenecist because they support his agenda & want to protect his ability to pursue it. The Times has *clear* guidance on anonymity of sources, which this story unambiguously does not warrant. But they don’t care.

incredible times for the Times

John James votes yes. The MAGA murder budget will pass. I hope their god forgives them, because we never will.

budgets are moral documents this one is evil

put it directly in my veins

Turns out the people who spent 3 months calling a double nazi salute an interesting gesture are very worried about antisemitism since the brown guy won an election

brooklyn has more people than nebraska, and i have been to both, i would give the senators to brooklyn, despite the podcasters

I am weeping

Congrats to the fearmongers who called everything “socialism” for decades and drained all the scariness out of it, this is your victory too. #ZohranForMayor

A Democratic Party that welcomes Cuomo back is a Democratic Party that stands for absolutely nothing except stopping young leftists from course correcting the country.

If Zohran wins tomorrow, Cuomo will run as an independent with the most racist Islamaphobic campaign you've ever seen. Establishment Dems will line up to nuke their own primary winning candidate. It wouldn't even be the first time in New York. They already did it to India Walton in Buffalo.

Dems finally have a candidate who is a generational talent who can excite the youth vote and bring loe propensity voters to a primary in an off year. So of course they're going to do everything they can to destroy him politically and discredit everything about him. All to support a sex pest.

“Does the US President’s social media post mean people should evacuate Tehran in a serious, bombs-are-imminent sort of way or a silly, he’ll forget about it in the morning sort of way?” is an insane, nightmarish situation to be in

This is what fascism looks like - using a conspiracy theory about a dehumanized outgroup as a pretext for seizing political power and wielding arbitrary authority. What you read about in the history books is happening right here, right now.

this is obviously something to take seriously but i am also struck by how the white house’s only move is to double down, no matter how unpopular or politically disastrous it might be

Mike Lee has this lie pinned at the top of his Twitter feed. But no mention at all of the shooter who killed one and injured three at the No Kings march in Salt Lake City. Probably still trying to figure out how he’ll claim that guy was a “Marxist” too.

Conspiracy theories are neurotoxic

If Benito freakin Mussolini came back to life and shot someone, the post millennial would have a story linking him to "antifa"

Literally the exact same madman who got us into the Iraq War, which Trump lied about being against, and now seems doomed to repeat.

Tip I learned years ago from a longtime organizer who is also an attorney: If you are not sure if a person approaching you is a cop, and you do not feel safe, drive to the nearest *fire department* and call 911 and tell them (don't ask) that you're stopping for the cop at a FD. Here's why.

They came masked and armed to the teeth to protect us all from the horrible problem of a few dudes outside the Home Depot looking for good honest work.

"Anyone now in downtown L.A. subject to arrest" - they have shut down an area of roughly 9 square miles. 90,000 people live in that part of the city.

This is 100% accurate, every time:

To be clear: Trump is dispatching the troops in response to protests *the Los Angeles Police Department* has described as peaceful

ohhh my God are u scared of protestors at Home Depot? should we tell everyone? should we call ICE? should we invite the national guard?

Just to recap, Trump has taken the extraordinary step of federalizing 2000 member of the California National Guard — over the objections of the state’s governor — in response to a protest that currently involves A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE AT A HOME DEPOT
