“Oh I’m sorry you wanted to vote. That’s not a right anymore. Can I interest you in the right to refuse to bake cake for gay people instead? We’ve replaced voting rights with that.”

It's so disheartening watching this court carry out the explicit project of white supremacy so blatantly while gaslighting the public to say it's trying to stop discrimination. They're dismantling every major legacy of the civil rights movement. We need to reform this court.

What the fuck are we doing here

We live in a country where the two most dynamic, charismatic, eloquent politicians of this century have the first names Barack and Zohran. This is what bothers the white supremacists so much.

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

Hell yeah, Maiden is so long overdue it's criminal.

My 15 yo daughter hates AI, draws, and plays drums. She's also on YouTube plenty but yeah, it isn't a lock that the kids are all tech zombies.

Hungarians celebrated the landslide defeat of Orban by singing "We Are the Champions" out in the streets

"This is what you get when you elect Republicans." Every Dem within 100 feet of a camera needs to be saying this repeatedly. Every time we elect Republicans, we get dumbass wars, tax cuts for rich people, and financial crises. Every time. Fucking say it!

got to share this @bencollins.bsky.social banger with some colleagues today and am now sharing it here because he really did nail it

Thread. I'm begging people to realize how much we've already given in just the past 25 years. I'm old enough to remember when surveillance wasn't ubiquitous and before ICE or the TSA existed. There was even a time when the average cop wasn't kitted out for full on urban warfare.

The real theme of the modern age is "Nobody Wants This". AI, ICE in airports, ICE in general, the Iran War, data centers sending actual cities wiht people into blackouts -- "nobody" wants this. And yet here we are.

Where are my Disc Golfsky folks at today? udisc.com/disc-golf-gr...

This thread is giving me life

It’s hard to blame woke DEI when the military is losing a war because of the straits.

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids." That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.

tariffs happening for no reason and theyre making your life worse, secret police kidnapping people for no reason and making your life worse, firing thousands of government employees for no reason and making your life worse, going to war with iran for no reason and making your life worse

The affordability President just caused the fastest gas price spike in years, and the jobs President just lost 92,000 jobs in February. Are we winning yet?

Good news that the execrable Kristi Noem has been fired, but Trump should really be firing Stephen Miller, the primary engineer of the vile ethnic reengineering agenda and murderously violent civic tensions that are sucking all of them into a bottomless political sinkhole, Trump included.

The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution: - declared war without Congressional authorization - ignoring multiple court orders - impounding Congressional authorized funds - ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly It’s a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.

Public pressure means something. Primaries can change policies. In NY-10, Dan Goldman has been running ads for months. Primaried from his left by @bradlander.bsky.social, Goldman’s ads have gone from “Agents should have to carry ID” in January, to big bold graphics this month that say “Abolish ICE.”

I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

First of all, why does DoD even have a "deal" with the scouts? More importantly, ffs these are kids! Let them enjoy life with their friends. This country has lost its collective mind about trans people, and the fact there are so few leaders with the backbone to state that plainly is distressing.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. GO DONATE. tcpipeline.org

so in conclusion, the state of the union is actually very bad because a man who tried to end democracy is using the government to personally enrich himself and his buddies while executing citizens and noncitizens alike

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

ICE has completely broken our social contract. They manipulate social trust and are creating lasting damage to our most basic social foundations

Masked ICE agents had elementary school kids running for their lives in South Jersey. Now they're afraid to go outside or go to school. Listen to these kids and tell me with a straight face that we can "reform" ICE. You can't reform that.

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”

Hell yeah, more of this, please. Provide a vision for what can and should be instead of ceding the playing field to people who are morally bankrupt.

“Cut ICE’s budget to restore federal health care funding” is an extremely popular message www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...

379,000 people would rank as the 52nd most populous city in the US, coming in ahead of New Orleans. Just truly staggering amd disgusting.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Our product can show you what's outside the window that's right next to you, perform a Google search slower than you can yourself, and misinform your surgeon mid-procedure, causing a catastrophic failure that will injure you for life. The entire economy is propped up on it

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

In this article: An elected official completely out of touch with their constituents. Aka a democrat

VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Don’t know how many more examples it’s going to take for people to realize that billionaires are an existential threat to democracy and its institutions.

74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month. Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.

An exceptionally stupid and contingent set of circumstances made Stephen Miller the most influential ideologue in the US. There is no future for the left or liberalism that does not take as a core mission ensuring he is punished for his crimes & no one as hateful as him is ever close to power again.

You could house everyone in need of a home with the money being given to ICE. A society that chooses the latter over the former is truly evil and there's no way to spin that.

Very important vote. It makes repealing ICE surge funding the mainstream position in the party, with bipartisan support.

The people demand not one more dollar for ICE. We demand not on more agent hired to terrorize our communities. We say: Abolish ICE and dismantle DHS!

Shutdown update: Sen. Bernie Sanders wants an amendment vote on funding package to repeal $75 billion for ICE in big beautiful bill. Has another proposal to redirect that money into Medicaid
