"I don't want to believe they'd do that" is a very powerful drug. Especially when they’re giving you an alternate “truth”. At this point, denial isn’t confusion. It’s a calculated choice. You don’t have to like reality for it to be real. (comments to this)

“I am doing this because I believe so long as we have a system where people are being prosecuted for petty theft and not for killing someone on the street, in broad daylight on camera, we have a system that is too broken to continue to function." unraveledpress.com/cook-county-...

Katie Johnson withdrew her lawsuit citing personal safety concerns and threats. Just think about that for a minute…. “Too afraid to continue” That is very, very far from an exoneration of any sort This man has a history of threats Arguably violence as well… www.politico.com/story/2016/1...

Minnesotans are continuing to support one another during this ICE surge. Thank you to community leaders and local businesses for organizing food drives and relief efforts for families facing fear and uncertainty. www.startribune.com/latino-busin...

I wonder how many in Congress grasp just how serious this is.

Cruelty is big business

All of a sudden Oz is a financial guru with all of the answers, NOT. He tried to get people to buy a fake cure for COVID. He's a snake oil salesman who will say anything to make money. Greed is contagious especially when you work FOR a greedy president.

Here is a collection of sworn testimonies from detainees being held in ICE custody. Until reading these testimonies, I wasn't fully aware of what is happening. Please read them yourself. We need to know this. We need to understand the consequences of ICE/CBP arrests. assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

open.substack.com/pub/steadyst... If our standard for justice becomes “dump everything and let the internet sort it out,” we are not strengthening accountability. We’re degrading it into a spectacle.

We're all antifa. There's no leader. It's not just a group. It's a state of mind that tells people right from wrong and freedom from capitulation.

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control. “It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

A good thing happened today: Haitians in Springfield, Ohio and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnic cleansing operation. This happened because people came together — organizers, reporters, and those who care — and made it happen. Let’s take the win and continue the work.

Congress has given him cart blanch to do whatever he wants. The Republicans lead congress, both Houses, are enabling him and won't do anything to stop him. Only they have the power to do anything about his crime spree.

The message is clear: Americans are tired of a Republican led Congress. This midterm, we are ready to elect Democrats up and down the ballot and flip Congress.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

Our Democracy, our freedoms, our rights to vote, indeed our way of life is under attack. We must continue to fight as dirty as they are fighting, we need to expose the Rot. We must not allow an inch and we must not get overwhelmed. RISE AMERICA AND KEEP IT LOUD

Golly gee, oh well. They got me again. What can I do about?

#GVerse More than 5000 Texans showed up to @jamestalarico.bsky.social's STOP ICE Rally. Make Texas Blue? 💙

Just another grift to try to make it seem like people want to watch this joke.

Bulk sales of tickets to Melania are being promoted through emails from WH Faith Office advisor Paula White-Cain using her National Faith Advisory Board list. People are encouraged to purchase 30 tickets at a time to “support our First Lady.” meidasnews.com/news/exclusi...

Well well well. Looks like they were correct. They just lied about who it was.

"CPNVICTED FELON DONALD TRUMP"! 1004 days left of this term. 274 days until the midterms. Trump's insanity is getting worse by the day. Now, he tells Republicans he wants them to "nationalize" elections. States have control over elections as per the Constitution. We will never allow them to 🗑️ votes.

The heart bleeds…

We need to make him 'feel' more powerful until he explodes into nothingness.

This is what embodying the American spirit looks like. Alex Pretti is America. Renee Good is America. Liam Ramos is America. We are all the disenfranchised, downtrodden, and despondent. They are us. H/t @jamestalarico.bsky.social

~ Democrats ~ Get a fuckin grip!🤛

Here’s @schumer.senate.gov saying his job is to fight for aid to Israel — which most Dems disagree with… and gives a nod to a “delicate ceasefire” even as people in Gaza are still killed by Israeli bombs daily.

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

The No Kings People VOTE! Leigh and Timmy and Matt and Tim and Beth and Mattie are scared shitless! Tarrant County is Blue! It’s the No Kings Era now! #NoKings is a political earthquake!

It's still a cover-up.

So it appears Andy Biggs is in the Epstein files. What are we going to do about it Arizona?
