New, amazing footage of 90,000 people on Sydney Harbour Bridge, marching to end the genocide in Gaza. A protest the city and New South Wales authorities did NOT want to happen. (🎥 ABC News)

An aerial view of what the Gaza City area looked like this week. Taken from a Jordanian military aircraft, by our colleague Heidi Levine.

a thin white woman in head to toe lululemon screaming at these thugs makes me think ICE has jumped the shark

Sen. Chris Murphy: "The number one priority for this administration is the protection of the rich and the powerful — the use of the White House to let Donald Trump and his friends get away with illegality, corruption, and immorality."

It’s so funny that Q was right: there is an organization dedicated to defending powerful pedophiles who steal from working people on behalf of the corrupt elite. It’s called the Republican Party.

He didn’t get shot. He didn’t win the election. He is on the list.

“Both sides are the same!” Oh yeah? One side voted to release the Epstein files and one side voted to cover it up.

Gavin Newsom Sits Down For Podcast With Serial Killer Who Targets Homeless

it's so baffling how yet another generation of parents did nothing to teach their children basic life skills, and are now baffled and critical of their children for not knowing those skills inherently. how did you think they would learn, for instance, to read a paper map, or an analog clock?

Dems: you can't just DO things in government Trump: [declares himself king, every institution in the country rolls over, does whatever he wants] Dems: ah! well. nevertheless..

This is a good time to remind people that Alma Bowman is still being detained by ICE She spent 30 months in a facility during the first Trump regime, and then worked as a whistle blower exposing atrocities committed inside the camps When Trump took office, ICE grabbed her again Justice for Alma

If you grew up in a household with an evangelical right-wing parent, as I did, you already know that the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education, like the reversal of Roe v. Wade, is the culmination of a 50-year project.

wow i wonder why everyone is so fractured and enraged and susceptible to propaganda gosh who can possibly expl

When my dog is getting weighed I make sure to take off his leash, and I know he’d do the same for me

Now THAT's a cease and desist letter

In front of the Palantir office on 18th street in manhattan right now:

The world is a sick place, genocide is normalised, peadophiles are protected, and all because of a sickness called greed.

Any time a white man tells you "It's complicated," odds are it is very much not complicated.

Just woke up in a puddle of sweat. My nervous system is completely shot over what’s happening in this country. I’m just to supposed to go about my day under these circumstances? I can’t even sleep in peace. A sustained general strike + tax strike + armed resistance now before it’s too late.

Trans people and bisexuals outlived every fascist regime that tried to eliminate them. Trump can do book bannings and delete websites but you can't erase queer people from existing because they're a naturally occurring part of the population. Nothing says inherent weakness like the fear of rainbows

Fascism. Call it what it is.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Today marks the anniversary of the time one of the local fire departments up that way burned down an Aryan compound lost in bankruptcy proceedings for a training exercise:

A peaceful protest seemed like an exercise in futility when conservatives are assassinating political figures, ICE is kidnapping citizens and deporting them to foreign gulags & this administration tramples all over the constitution in a slow motion authoritarian coup but not going wasn’t an option.

This is a shocking development. Two leading Democratic lawmakers and their spouses in Minnesota were shot in their homes early this morning by a man possibly impersonating a police officer. This is the kind of violence we have been warning about. www.fox9.com/news/brookly...

Starting to feel like maybe the US shouldn’t have given Bibi Netanyahu tens of billions of dollars in bomb money with no strings attached.

The people railing about Cowardly Liberals right now really don’t seem to understand how I bet at least 90% of the people who show up to protest would self-identify as if you asked them about their political beliefs

Part of what it looks like to *save ourselves* is for folks to take over our library, park, water and other local boards. Get leftists on there who can make decisions that benefit the working class. We can do that because few people actually pay attention to those levers of power.

ICE raided Los Angeles elementary schools in an attempt to kidnap small children. They hid their identities, claimed they weren't ICE, and lied to school authorities that they had "permission" from the parents to take the children out. School officials luckily didn't fall for it.

As an autistic adult you will often be told that your literal begging for accommodations and support are selfish, aggressive, out of line, immature, manipulative, et al. You cannot believe this. Don’t gaslight yourself.

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

All of the talk about "peaceful protest" makes me think of all the times I have been part of a protest where the police cracked someone over the head and then charged that person with assault. They will call you violent. You can't control that or other people.

the issue is not just ICE. we can live free and safe. or we can have police like we have right now. we cannot do both

The people of Los Angeles will rally on Monday, 6/9 to demand the release of everyone unjustly detained by ICE, like SEIU leader David Huerta, and an end to militaristic escalation on our communities. Join us and @aclusocal.bsky.social at 11 AM in LA to call for an end to these human rights abuses.

Survival is resistance. Taking care of yourself is resistance. Practicing community care is resistance. Showing up for others is resistance. Not all forms of resistance are flashy and obvious, but that doesn’t make them any less meaningful.

The pattern is the same under fascism: strike fear, escalate violence, demonize the community, send in troops. THIS is that big government tyranny that conservatives pretend to be against. Where are they? Hiding in fear? Meanwhile, anti-fascists stand on business.

And if you come into my comments trying to pretend that, Harris would be deporting people to South Sudan, taking away the right to trial, weaponizing the national guard, sending masked paramilitary to elementary school graduations, & revoking student visas you can kiss my fucking ass.

I feel that some people are intent on false equivalencing us all to the grave. No, it was not like this under Obama, don't play in my face. No, it would not have been like this under Kamala. Some of y'all really need to be questioning whether what you see is in good faith, cuz a lot of it isn't.

Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines to LA to suppress protesters against ICE’s brutal assault on immigrant garment workers. Just process that: Sending in the *military* to crack down on protesters. We’re now at severe risk of martial law. That’s what they’ve wanted all along.

The crackdowns on civilians and the threat of the national guard being sent to LA should be *the* most important story right now-- not the Trump/Musk feud or whatever the f**k that was. People are being terrorized all over the country. News outlets need to get it together.

Haven't seen a single post defending ICE. This is the exact bubble I want in social media.

People will resist ICE in various ways and i promise you nothing scares the state more than when the people who aren't out there throwing rocks at ICE trucks support the people who do.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

I understand the urge but... immigrants are not only valuable because of contributions to the economy. This is damaging coz: 1. Contributes to commodification of immigrants 2. Makes migrants disposable & deportable when labour is no longer needed (esp periods of high unemployment & austerity)

Current mood music.

“Defund the police” was in fact a great slogan.

Stephen Miller is fulfilling his high school wet dream of terrorizing all the Brown people in Los Angeles. My daughter's friends who went to SaMo High with him said he used to seethe while the morning announcements were repeated in Spanish. Hell, they did that when I went there. (Mesozoic age.)
