🚨 IMPORTANT THREAD 🚨 People are protesting the Broadview ICE facility tonight. This will likely be an extremely high-risk action. I caution you to consider your risk level before attending. I will not attend. Attendance risks your safety, but also the safety of Broadview residents + detainees. 1/6

Senility makes for a lot of government waste... imagine how much extra costs there will be to fight a civil war against an enemy that only exists on TV.

Attacking a Catholic man in broad daylight, treating him worse than a stray dog. What have we become?

Republicans rig maps ＆ silence voters. They rip away freedoms we fought & bled for. They try to silence voices on national TV. They threaten to punish any dissent! That is dictatorship in action. On October 18, we rise to remind the world: America has #NoKings social.demcast.com/s/Eba2eB84

Unsung heroes! Awesome work, Sra. Hammer.

Have some spare time today and tomorrow? Here's something useful you can do! www.mobilize.us/nextgen/even...

We're looking for a few volunteers for this Tuesday morning, 10:30am to noon, to help with Signs of Solidarity canvassing in downtown Iowa City. www.signupgenius.com/go/10C054AA5...

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ shut down an FBI probe after agents caught Border Czar Tom Homan on tape taking $50,000 in cash from undercover operatives posing as contractors in exchange for promised gov’t contracts. MSNBC’s Carol Leonnig & Ken Dilanian with a massive scoop. Link in reply.

Note: not independently verified by The Duck... but, the takeaway here is "probably should keep phone in Airplane mode or off, a lot".

As the South becomes the new epicenter of data center growth, it is becoming increasingly clear that Big Tech is following Big Oil’s footsteps.

Mandatory Teddy repost. (My favorite president)

We are doing damage to our own country that will outlast the regime's grip on power. We have sullied our reputation internationally, and those insults will not soon be forgotten. Isolationism will haunt us for a long, long time.

Swalwell understands the real construction project - it's a Trump demolition job on the 1st Amendment.

When the media (billionaires) own the state, and the state controls the media, and neither care about the rule of law What the hell is that called?

Not all the damage we get from #COVID infections is visible e.g blood vessel damage but this can cause serious health problems. All children are at risk of this and for the life of me I can’t understand the lack of action on preventing this awful infection. 🧵

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Ex-Disney CEO Michael Eisner: “Where has all the leadership gone? Who will step up against these bullies for the first amendment?”

This post summarizes why I view today's American liberals as more aligned with the teachings of Jesus. Our conservatives are too enamored of material wealth; too willing to cast their neighbors, especially those different from them, as enemies; too determined to close doors on a stranger.

MAGAS have a propaganda department just like Russia.

Here's a Dad joke for you today! What's the difference between Kim Kong Un and Donald Trump? COMPETENCY

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights.

But RFK Jr and his crew of anti-science activists want to make all of us LESS healthy, now and in the future. Read more in this issue of ImmunoLogic, the free newsletter I write: news.immunologic.org/p/newborn-he... 🧵

🚨NEW: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. Trump ain't sleeping tonight. 🤣 This is a must-watch. 🔥

Dear Executives, Please know the American people are going to turn your business upside down as soon as you bend the knee to this fascist regime. See what happened to Target? 40% loss in value and CEO fired. We’re doing that to Disney/ABC now, and you’ll be next 🙂. Sincerely, Your Customers

What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves. The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

In the mid-1800s, the Know Nothing Party advocated for nativist, anti- immigrant policies. Sounds to me like we need to officially rename the party formerly known as Republicans.

March route for Wednesday’s Stop Trump demo. Rally in Parliament Square from 5pm to 7pm. Come after work to show your opposition to Trumpismo being imported into the UK by Reform

Good summary, Dave.

It's truly pitiful that the United States couldn't uphold the law like Brazil did.

The right wing pretending like it's the left wing that is full of pathological vigilantes armed to the teeth was not on my USA Politics Bingo card.

#endCitizensUnited The Supreme Court decision known as "Citizens United" unleashed unlimited corporate "contributions" (purchase) of our US Congress. That's why they act the way they do. They are legislating not for their voters, rather, for their OWNERS.

ICE threw me and other protestors to the ground on Friday because we dared to stand up for our neighbors. I’m okay, but our communities aren’t. We can't afford apathy or inaction from our leaders right now. Abolishing ICE is a moral necessity.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

All American gun violence is evil. Denounce it all. Our society will never move forward under this threat against our lives.
