Reasonable suspicion = not white

Found on Mastodon. This cartoon pretty much sizes up the #GreenlandTariffs situation. (Wish I could give credit to the artist.)

They can’t compel you to hand over your phone when it’s locked but if you have biometrics instead of a passcode they can open it for you and then go thru it so just… use a passcode and don’t give an unlocked phone to a cop

begging people to drum up customers for the AI evolution that's rumored to be en route to replacing humans is an interesting twist. there are only so many delusional tech CEOs who don't actually know how human work gets done and that no machine can replace actual humans. who is he pitching this to?

Word…

This from a government that claimed January 6th was a “peaceful protest” and mocked the *140* Police officers who were injured or died as a result of their injuries suffered on that day

Trump claims he’s cracking down on fraud in Minnesota — while pardoning actual fraudsters. Over half of his 88 individual pardons have been for white collar crimes, including money laundering, bank fraud, and wire fraud. It’s all part of his pay-to-pardon scheme.

America couldn’t have done all of this without Trump! Americans’ pensions & lifesavings devastated by inflation, skyrocketing costs, cuts to healthcare & SNAP to give tax breaks to billionaires in the Trump/GOP’s BIG UGLY BILL! We couldn’t have uprooted post-WWII stability or covered up pedophiles!

In Zaporizhzhia, a second and third deaths have been announced after the Russian drone attack. Earlier I wrote a woman was burned to death in her car. 6 private houses were damaged, 3 cars burned out and around 1,500 subscribers are without power. #StopRussia

Kavanaugh stops on off-duty police officers have activated police opposition to ICE in Minnesota:

The share of America’s income going to workers is at its lowest point since at least 1947, when the BLS began collecting data. Harold Meyerson reports on the K-shaped economy: trib.al/5KOjz2t

Trump has unleashed a gold rush among immigrant-detaining private prison companies. In cash-strapped cities, residents aren’t sure the money is worth it.

his lack of awareness is just beyond

⚠️ DOJ served subpoenas to Minnesota Governor Walz and Attorney General Ellison and to Minneapolis Mayor Frey related to an “alleged conspiracy to coerce or obstruct federal law enforcement” during ICE operations in the state:

good messaging for all girls and women, too: "stand up to bullies and go on offense because defense doesn't win"

Recently I've been spending some time with pro-democracy leaders from other countries organizing against national strongmen. Their stories of organizing against authoritarians are eerily familiar. Among the many clear takeaways: stand up to bullies and go on offense because defense doesn’t win.

Damn...

Journalist Garrett Graff: "We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done. A superpower is [dying by] suicide because the [Republican] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.”

“The Board of Peace has had a rough landing. It’s been criticized by Israel, questioned by Europe and has Russia’s friends celebrating.” It will also be quite the dictators’ tea party. Putin, Lukashenko and the dictator of Kazakhstan have all been asked to join!” www.alternet.org/trump-putin-...

Nick Fuentes urging Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota: "Bro, do it. Do something. Just stop chickening out. I'm just tired of the idle threats... Please pull the trigger. Please kill them, Mr. President. Please just kill them." www.mediamatters.org/nick-fuentes...

One year ago, Donald Trump took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he has focused on using the presidency to enrich himself.

Thou shalt not threaten Greenland and crash the economy just to protect billionaire pedophiles.

"I feel as though the weapon I built is coming to kill me and my people."

Children leave flowers on Renee Nicole Good memorial in Minnesota. We should never have to look at this type of scene here in America. Unfortunately, this regime and those who support it - only know cruelty.

ICE breaking & entering to kidnap, & coming up with excuses (lies) bc caught by indisputable evidence. Ppl are not safe in their homes. This is 🤬. Congress must take action & not continue to fund this lawless agency that has gone rogue & mad w pwr. 📣📣 @ your MoC 202-224-3121 democracy.io/#!/

Senate Republicans are at it again, they know Trump’s policies suck for the American people so they want to disenfranchise 69 million married women from voting with their draconian voting bill. Call your Senators @ 202-224-3121. Tell them to #StopTheSaveAct Katie Phang explains👇

In a bizarre court filing, DOJ conceded that in March 2025, two members of DOGE who were working at the Social Security Administration were in touch with an advocacy group that hoped to “find evidence of voter fraud and to overturn election results in certain States."

“Legally, the only time U.S. citizens must show proof of citizenship is when they are entering the country or when they are applying for certain jobs for which it is a requirement” “Noem urges Americans to carry proof of citizenship as ICE raids intensify” www.nbclosangeles.com/news/nationa...

Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

carney is special in that he's just a finance guy - not a politician, not a business guy, not a scientist, not a humanitarian. not even a thug. carney is a financial analyst. that's it. leadership requires more than number-juggling, and layering on paternalism as a sub for gravitas doesn't cut it.

Elon Musk purchased our last election and we got Trump. He's doing it again by purchasing the Senate seat in KY with a $10 Million Dollar Donation to the Republican Candidate. $10 Million.

Lindsey Halligan's 'masquerade' as U.S. Attorney must end, judges warn Trump-appointed Judge Novak's blistering order strikes her title and warns the "very essence of the Rule of Law" is on the line. Developing story on All Rise News www.allrisenews.com/p/lindsey-ha...

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Ireland failed to remove the 3-day waiting period for abortion, which "...reinforces the idea that abortion is uniquely regrettable, that it carries an exceptional emotional risk, and that guilt is not just possible but expected. This belief is widespread, deeply ingrained, and wrong."

Putin is using Trump to break NATO, destabilize Europe and humilate America. www.alternet.org/trump-threat...

This stopped being funny a long time ago. The only people this helps want to see us fall.

MN & other locations: ICE believe they're above the law. A Fed judge just ordered that they cannot deploy chemical agents at peaceful protesters. Again. Even if all you do is go to a hardware store & get a very good dust mask & goggles, it will help. Also, it'll make you unidentifiable. Like them

Quite the statement from the Prime Minister of Poland

10/10. No notes.

Still hard to believe that there are videos and witnesses to someone shooting a woman in the face three times. Yet the shooter has not been arrested even though the police know who and where he is.

The irony of ICE detaining and disappearing the original Americans should stop everyone cold. As a Lakota proverb says, when you discover you’re riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. This system isn’t broken. It’s dead.

It's not often that you can capture Orion and the aurora together in Scotland, Broubster looking south

Australian officials are currently trying to scheme up ways to sneak the president of Israel into the country for a visit without him getting confronted by massive anti-genocide protests. Read that again. When you are doing things like this, you're on the wrong side of history.

If Putin had put an agent in the White House, what would he be doing differently than what trummp continues to do?
