Fun fact: Black Panthers doing perfectly legal (at the time) open carry in CA in the 1960s spurred then-Governor Reagan to sign the Mulford Act into law in 1965, prohibiting it. These people have no consistent politics outside a desperate, leering need to keep hold of power and privilege.

The black and white pictures are meant to deceive you. It was not long ago. #MLKinColor

dawg,

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

I deserve to trot out nothing but a Bible verse here and there as commentary: "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!" -Isaiah 5:20

MAGA idiots like Nick Sortor aren’t talking about Iran because they don’t have a clue what’s going on. Trump told a bunch of Iranian protestors “keep going we’re going to rescue you.” Then, a bunch of them went out in the streets to protest and got killed while America did absolutely nothing.

ngl, i am loving the trend of various singular hiltons going rogue here

You guys know how the owners of Anime Matsuri also own a bar called The Anime Bar outside of Houston? Seems they run that bar much like they run their conventions, because after a patron talked to the cops about how a friend's drink may have been drugged, an employee banned her from returning.

fork found in kitchen

this is beautiful in so so many ways.

Shut the fuck up.

Citing the exact reason it must be investigated as your rationale for not investigating.

NO SLOWING on the gun violence this week: there were five separate mass shooting incidents in the United States where 12 people were killed and 15 were injured. My Sunday recap covers this and all the critical legal and political details of last week: shero.substack.com/p/shero-on-s...

Blanche: "If a judge tells ICE officers not to violate the constitutional rights of protesters, we got it. We're not violating constitutional rights. But ... "

Gonna be one of those situations where non-AZ folks gobble this shit up because he says the right things and then locals who deal with his bullshit are like okaaayyy whatever you say I’ll believe it when I see it given that the guy can’t even answer questions about his Andreessen fundraiser

In other words, Powell is subject to public accountability for his renovation project, including criminal investigations. Trump is not. Private money solicited from companies seeking to curry favor. Committees stacked with loyalists. Accountability for thee, but not for me.

LOL never mind I’m wrong. I’m overextending grace.

It's here! Character bios for "Welcome to Bellegrave!" the rebrand of the comic 👏 ft. Shelley, Amy, Chloe, Mara! 🧵

You know I get the cops not fucking with ICE because cops don't protect you from cops. But if they're pulling fire alarms where's the goddamn fire inspector?

The fact that Gavin Newsom is even talking to the likes of Shapiro is a sign that he’s a non-starter. I’ve never forgotten how Shapiro said that Trayvon Martin deserved to die. Not fucking ever.

"protect the public's right to assemble peacefully" ofc comes after "protect property" and "support law enforcement" in the press release. they are NOT there to oppose ICE in any way, they're there to oppose YOU. shit is gonna get REAL INTERESTING

Let me tell y'all about guys like Newsom, because we learned the hard way in Dallas. Eric Johnson was a respected Democratic state rep when he was elected mayor in 2019. This made sense, as Dallas is deep blue. Johnson's tenure began normally. But then he started hanging out with Republicans. 🧵

Eternal 2016

Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

Right-wing influencer Jake Lang is stuck in a window recess against Minneapolis City Hall. He’s soaked with freezing water after counterprotesters hurled water balloons at him. bit.ly/4baGhJn

the fact that Republican senators like Schmitt can’t even write a fascist screed on their own and instead have to rely on chatGPT perfectly captures the unique combination of evil and stupid that defines the modern Republican Party

Conservative influencer Ashley St Clair had a baby with Elon Musk in 2024. Things turned sour when she expressed mild support of trans rights. Elon cut child support and sued for custody; his followers made deepfake porn of her on X; she sued X; now X is suing HER! But this isn’t just a soap opera:

From a Minnesotan: a hearty HELL NO to this. This man is a professional political consultant in DC raising $$ for a political party. There are endless better places to donate to actually help people here suffering and fighting against this nazi invasion. Here’s a start: www.standwithminnesota.com

Holy fucking shit

I'm sorry guys, I'm afraid I may have arrived here from a separate timeline. In my universe, Newsom "went after" Trump by having his staff post ai slop and lazy tweets while Gavin himself spent his evenings agreeing with nazis on his podcast. What heroics did he do here?

They are canceling youth sports across the city in Minneapolis this weekend because lawless masked armed federal paramilitaries are targeting the children and families.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

I can't imagine dedicating my academic career to making bad faith, historically illiterate arguments that people born in America are not citizens.

Blue maga when their specific fascist isn’t elected

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

This victim’s name — Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis — should be made just as well known as Renee Good’s.

We tried to explain that criminalization is the fuel of fascism.

They made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm man

So working as designed then.

In this episode we rolled back the clock and did a full retrospective on the infamous Harper's Letter. This conversation with @parkermolloy.com was so much fun and what a trip it was travelling back to seemingly simpler times in the discourse. youtu.be/NF-M3Nz0azE?...

I swear to god these unreconstructed rectal prolapses are going to kill me with the fucking measles what the fuck

Here is the gofundme page for the family with 6 kids who was driving home from a basketball game when ICE threw a tear gas bomb under their car and their car filled with tear gas causing their 6 month old baby to go unconscious and need hospitalization. www.gofundme.com/f/support-th...

You know the autopen thing is all projection, right? He isn't signing or authorizing many of the actions with his name on them. He's probably not even aware of them. For the ones he does authorize, he's probably not competent. I doubt many of his pardons could survive an evidentiary hearing.

Another data point indicating that Polymarket is not a “prediction market” but a public persuasion operation—here it spreads disinformation about Minnesota and DHS signals boosts the disinformation:

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s
