Democracy dies in lies! We don’t have a voter fraud problem. We have a voter suppression problem. Try to earn our votes rather than trying to make it harder for voters! #votingrights.

Songs for these times thread: 🧵 “We are not free, but we are brave.” Leticia Van Sant, Home of the Brave. youtu.be/vPaSQHzjA9s

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

It is an act of incredible bravery to record ICE’s abuses - and an increasingly dangerous one If you or a friend volunteer as an observer on the ground and you are worried about your device being confiscated & your videos destroyed, here’s an idea for streaming so they can’t stop the signal:

🧵

The attorney general is threatening a state that the federal government will continuing murdering its citizens in the streets unless they provide access to state voter rolls, a lawless demand which is the subject of ongoing litigation.

We’ve placed the available videos of the shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis today into the same synchronised timeline and are continuing to analyse further.

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

RFK Jr has big “Martin Sheen in the Dead Zone” energy here.

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

Ooo, went looking for video of this... Oh The Horror! 🤣

This thread right here tells you how to give this company some feedback, and vent your disgust.

Trump didn’t light the fire overnight. He’s been turning up the heat slowly, hoping we won’t notice until we’re already cooked.

So exhausting..

These fuckers are just running amok!

Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

About to be the family that owns TikTok.

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in a Democrat who won her election in a landslide just so he can block a vote on the Epstein files. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

When will they fire the dipshit in charge? Zero credibility for the FBI at the moment.

Wild. The political murders of legislators in Minnesota were “killings.” The shooting of Kirk which cause is unknown is an “assassination.” They bend the knee without even being asked.

May they rest in peace 😔

This. Times a thousand. Again and again.

TIP FOR CONSERVATIVES: If you are bereft over the gun shooting of Charlie Kirk, just pretend he was a kid in an elementary school, and you will forget about the whole thing within a minute.

Okay now this is impressive! Sound on!

My favorite Zohran moment of this campaign. And why, more generally, he won:

Face masks are the same as white hoods or pantyhose over the face and head! If your face is covered, you don't intend to follow the law.

It’s wild that in the video DHS posted in an effort to make the beating of an innocent landscaper (with 3 marine sons) seem justified there’s a masked ice goon pointing a gun at a random car passing by and they don’t seem to think it matters at all

Translation: Book your own flights out of Iran, Americans. We’re not going to help you escape- Even though we’ve given you no advanced warning of our attack and placed you in great danger.

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

Why do we pretend Donald Trump isn't a demented danger to society? In Florida, the Baker Act is a way to involuntarily commit those who are mentally unstable and a threat to others. That's Donald Trump. Forget the 25th Amendment open.substack.com/pub/lincolns...

Not sure what to do about the fact that this country’s latest illegal war is being waged by a presidential administration that consists, top to bottom, of people who lie about everything, all the time

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Stockton, CA: Heavily armed masked kidnappers drove up in an unmarked car and pulled a landscaper out of his truck and kidnapped him. When the landscaping company owner asked the men what they were doing, the kidnappers assaulted him and pulled out a metal baton.

MacArthur Park, Los Angeles, 6/18 around 9:30am — Unidentified masked terrorists kidnapped an elderly homeless man off the street and bundled him into a private car with no license plate.

OMG YES… say that‼️ @tarasetmayer.bsky.social nails it. Honestly, we’ve been waiting for politicians to catch up to where the people are—and it’s getting damn late!

Truly wild photos coming in from Los Angeles right now.

TRUMP TO IRAN: WE CONTROL YOUR SKIES, DEMANDS 'UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER' NYC MAYORAL CANDIDATE ARRESTED BY ICE LAWMAKERS SCRAMBLE FOR SAFETY AMID RISING POLITICAL VIOLENCE STOCKS SLIP AS WAR NEARS, TARIFF TALKS FAIL MORE AFRICAN, CARIBBEAN COUNTRIES ADDED TO TRAVEL BAN

Add that to the trillion DOGE cost us

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building for the crowd that is keeping track of The Antisemitism Problem

This is OUTRAGEOUS! ICE is a dangerous, out of control gestapo at this point.

A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

@davidnoriega.bsky.social reporting on @msnbc.com that LA Sheriff officers are the aggressors in current actions near the Federal building in Los Angeles www.msnbc.com/the-weekend-...

LAPD and LA Sheriffs tried to prevent two large protests from joining together in downtown and both departments ended up hitting EACH OTHER with impact munitions from across the same interesection.
