Who are you going to believe? The President of Columbia or the guy who makes AI videos of himself as a King flying around in a jet dropping shit on his citizens as they protest?

Department of Bombing Innocent People

UPDATE: COLOMBIA’s President says 🇺🇸 government (Trump) “committed murder” and bombed a fisherman with no ties to drugs “The boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure”

The most upsetting part of this story to me is the line where the Times says it is “unclear” where the money came from. Under our constitution, it is either extremely clear where money comes from - a congressional appropriation - or an illegal channel. So so, @nytimes.com

Circled is a teargas canister thrown by Donald Trump’s thugs flying towards a family as they flee with their baby from ICE’s violent escalation in Chicago.

Chris Christie is still a boot licker, and we haven’t forgotten, but he’s not wrong.

A number of airports have said they will not air DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s propaganda video, which blames Democrats for the shutdown. They say playing the video would violate the Hatch Act, which prohibits government officials from using tax dollars or public resources for any partisan purposes.

It also feels like an IMPORTANT one. This is a key time to push back and make a statement that normal people DO NOT SUPPORT the racism, bigotry, violence, and lawlessness of this authoritarian administration. A huge, peaceful turnout on 10/18 will send a huge message.

I frequently say you don't need to protest. You don't! There are a thousand other ways to push back on fascism if protesting doesn't feel comfortable or safe for you! But if you CAN go, this 10/18 #NoKings thing is really a key protest to participate in. Be part of it, friends.

Post you from a different area. It was the 90s.

⚠️Three-quarters of UK police forces refuse to say if they even have a contract with Palantir. Read that back. The head of the UK branch of Palantir is Louis Mosely, grandson of British Fascist Oswald Mosely. goodlawproject.org/uk-police-fo...

I don't want to be a downer before noon but I think people need to actually look at the world as it is instead of the fantasy "that leans towards justice" in their head. If you tell an old white lady a troop might not shoot her, you're putting her life in danger.

I think in the entire history of political nonviolence the only reason troops turned against (unpopular, corrupt, largely failing) states is because they were outnumbered by the people to frightening degree. Morality was never a factor.

Earlier this year, ICE inked an agreement with Palantir Technologies, the firm co-founded by the billionaire Peter Thiel, to build software aimed at streamlining the process of identifying and deporting people the agency is targeting.

Amazing that the same people who thought it was tyranny when the government told them to wear a mask to protect vulnerable people are now happy to put on masks while they’re arresting vulnerable people for the government.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

BREAKING: Masked Border Patrol agents aggressively arrested WGN video producer Debbie Brockman in Lincoln Square Friday morning, supposedly for "obstructing justice." (Video via Josh Thomas on Facebook) Follow @heartlandsignal for more.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

Hard to find a more obvious example of the journalism adage “If someone says it’s raining outside and someone else says it isn’t, your job is not to quote them both, your job is to go outside.”

RFK fired the CDC official (w/decades of experience) leading the measles outbreak response. It's been decades since we've had such a large outbreak. And just to ensure they they can spread the measles outbreak even farther, they also fired the leadership for the center focused on immunization.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

these people are actually out of their fucking minds and im so sick of being told we need to pretend otherwise

So where is our headquarters and when are our indoctrination sessions? When can I adopt a costume?

Looks gross. Eww. And Amazon paid $40 million for it, to suck up to the fascists that are governing us. I hope it tanks. I hope it fails comically and miserably.

He said this deliberately because he is a Nazi and he wants you to know he's a Nazi who you can't touch. He also wants other Nazis to know they can be open about the fact they are Nazis too. This isn't an oversight, a fumble or an opportunity for a "heh, well actually, dummy" zinger.

Maria Rojas, a Houston-area midwife who operated the clinics, was indicted on 15 felony charges stemming from allegations that she performed illegal abortions at the Waller County clinics. Rojas became the first person to be arrested under the state's near-total abortion ban.

Right now, Donald Trump, Kash Patel, Kristi Noem, and other officials are participating in a panel about "Antifa," threatening to "destroy the entire organization [sic] from top to bottom." This is a good time to revisit our guide to preparing for repression: crimethinc.com/Safeguarding

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat. Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

For my latest, I talked with counter-recruiter Rory Fanning about how we should communicate with National Guard troops deployed in US cities, and how we might counter ICE's current recruiting blitz.

Trump’s deployment of troops to Portland is a dangerous escalation of authoritarianism. Now is the time to find our own ways of standing up and fighting back to preserve our democracy. Fellow vets: we need you to muster. And those serving: you can refuse an unlawful order as you may receive it.

It’s sad that some folks only ‘see the light’ when it hits home. We were sent here to represent hundreds of thousands of people, not just our households. It’s time for Republicans to remember their oath and do right by the people they serve.

Just to be clear, “low IQ” is code for strong intelligent black women that he feels threatened by. Because he’s a bigoted misogynistic sack of rancid dogshit.

We need to stop referring to the actions of Donald Trump and his administration as childish games. Doing so minimizes and therefore diminishes what they’re actually doing. Targeting political rivals and viewing opposition as enemies is fascism and there’s nothing childish about it.

I think the act of imagining oneself beyond what one was assigned or relegated to is perhaps the most dangerous creative act of all to these movements, though. All the other creative stuff is scary because it makes THAT act possible; to dream beyond one’s station is the deadliest weapon to them.

More guns than people… Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

“If you talk to Brazilians, South Koreans, Germans, they have better antennae for authoritarians… They experienced, or were taught by their parents, or the schools, the danger of losing a democracy.” Of the United States, he said: “This is not a society that is prepared for authoritarianism.”

Also please take note she is an artist. An ARTIST. They are not deporting “criminals.” That is a LIE. They are kidnapping artists and violating due process. We all need to speak out loudly in protest against this every time it happens. Please share and help Tucker May find her. /2
