A remarkable photo from #NoKings in DTLA from Connor Sheets of @latimes.com www.latimes.com/california/l...

this is so brilliant

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

Walking thru the “Ultra Normie” No Kings rally in my extremely rural, white town and there are Patagonia wearing moms carrying signs that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DONT REOFFEND” and “ICE GETS THE WALL” and I hi fived an old guy with a sign that said MY DADDY FOUGHT NAZIS AND SO WILL I” this is wild

They started an illegal war of choice during an ideological, racist and sexist purge led by right wing podcasters calling targets on a sieg heiling billionaire’s website, believing their superior genes and brutality would lead to rapid victory and are now facing defeat bsky.app/profile/dunc...

Organizers expect today's No Kings Day rallies — with more than 3,000 events planned across all 50 states — to be the largest single-day protest in American history.

The difference between these two is racism

only way this could happen is if the chief took the package

the hardest part about separating the art from the artist is how i seem to have glued myself to this macaroni picture

ngl I like this pope

many of epstein’s victims were trafficked through here and i hope Representative Gregory makes it a priority to seek justice for them

It seems like they are attuned enough to American politics that they know Vance is a skeptic of the war, but not attuned enough to know he’s basically a prop

Many asking what’s on that one officer’s butt. I do not have that information at this time.

there is a concerted media campaign right now to pressure Dems to capitulate on DHS funding, and they are trying to push the narrative that the TSA shutdown is somehow Dems' responsibility. The reality is the Dems have been trying to keep TSA funded the entire time.

Love this. Also, fastest way to end issues at airports would be to ground private jets, due to capacity constraints, until TSA problem(s) resolved. Over in 24 hours.

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.

when you think about the harper letter signers, jeet always seemed more a fool than malicious. looks like he’s still a fool though.

i just read @lindaholmes.bsky.social’s book Back After This. it was so good! i also found it delightful that in the last page it had her bluesky link (among other links) to find more about the author, which was the first time i’d seen that

If it’s a legitimate regime change attempt, the Strait of Hormuz has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

i wonder if the polarization of america into only (R) and (D) can also be viewed as american voters clamoring for coalition politics vs winner-take-all. the issue is you can’t quite do in a 2-party framework, and you especially can’t do it when parties are too weak to have ideological goals

I was a signatory to the 400 Black Womxn for Warren endorsement in 2020. I was a signatory to the "please consider running" letter in 2016. Right now, I don't want to see her face or hear her name and look forward to her retirement which needs to come at the end of this term.

Pam Bondi screamed “the dow is at 50,000” and then you’ll never guess what happened next

i have a heartburn joke but it’s gonna make you uncomfortable

people need to stop saying bush did 9/11, because 9/11 was fake. it was cgi and done on a sound stage, that’s why the media had images and videos of it so fast

neither biss nor schakowsky would ever admit it but the only reason schakowsky retired is because kat challenged her rather than respectfully waiting for her to retire/die in office. biss owes kat a debt of gratitude for his new job

a cop today stole an american flag from a homeless person

Pretending like you are going to war instead of a baseball tournament and then losing at baseball is super funny

man this thread is spot on. state dem parties in general are crap, but illinois dems in particular just feels completely purposeless as an institution. all ego, no values

Man it is so wild that in Illinois a bunch of cooked octogenarians finally retired and the fight to replace them was so bleak: totally crowded fields, millions in outside money, no substantive debate really about the future of the Democratic Party or country.

Trump can shoot someone on 5th Ave but not Azadi Ave (ppl will know that’s a street in tehran, right? ah fuck it, send tweet)

I can't believe I'm saying this and it's not a meme, but polls close at 7 in Illinois, so if you're in line to vote, STAY IN LINE. You can register TODAY with a piece of business mail and vote TODAY. Every vote counts. It's a sunnier, nicer day out than we all thought it would be! Get out there!

i won’t click on the link so i can’t zoom in, but the dude in back is barefoot in a restaurant

Today I am quitting my job working for Mr Trump because I just found out he's stupid. It has been the privilege of my life to work for this dipshit, who I would die for

hope @notalawyer.bsky.social sees the watch

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

there should be a phrenology but with facial expressions, that is one dumb looking face

Someone needs to send an ambulance to X

Over the next few weeks, assuming the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, Americans are going to start to feel the pinch when it comes to higher prices and shortages of certain goods. But that won't even be 0.01% of what the US govt has done to Cuba over the past 65 years and is doing right now.

apologies for being earnest, but this is really lovely

omg this is who trump was talking about, he said he’ll “be dead by june”

The running subplot that nobody is noticing right now is America’s allies gradually waking up east to west on Monday morning and announcing that they’re not coming to help Trump fix his problems

41 years old, evacuated here legally, asylum case pending, kidnapped while driving his six children (one a US citizen) to school. Dead within 24 hours. Betrayed and murdered by the United States government. 42nd confirmed and reported death in ICE custody under Trump.

search your camera roll for hell

Wow this sworn testimony that Justin Fox provided about how little he understands about what he did is really compelling, shame on the people suppressing this

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

So this asshole can destroy our government and wreck countless people’s lives while working as a government employee but we the people aren’t allowed to see depo tapes of him explaining himself? Broken system.

Again, leaders of other countries don’t talk this way. The glee with which our current leaders talk about killing people is not normal, and nor is their lack of concern for who exactly we’re killing. American bombs incinerated 100 kids in Minab. Were those the “right people”?
