A full on war on the poor and the sick while the public is told by people in both political parties and by punditry not to "demonize" billionaires. Incredible.

IDK it beat watching more commercials lol. Maybe not a high bar to clear but that's kind of been a theme for this World Cup...

The ICE officer who killed a man in Maine last week had a well known history of mental instability and physical abuse. He should have never been hired. More here on why these killings were so predictable and what enforcement should look like: earlywarningwithjuliette.substack.com/p/ice-is-bro...

All this is true, but the thing that I found most chilling was Rubio's and Landau's comparison of anti-ICE protestors, antifa, and all leftists with the Red Brigades, Baader-Meinhof, the Tupamaros and Montoneros, and the FARC and ELN. These references are clear pretexts for violent suppression. 1/

This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City.

This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.

The revelations came out in a federal court case brought by Democratic states challenging ICE's access to Medicaid data to aid in deportation efforts. n.pr/4f9OdMn

Cheryl Reeve is a fucking real one. We need more leaders in the WNBA like her.

Trump's "communist" panic isn't just senile ranting. It's a strategy. It comes straight from a book Bannon and Vance endorsed, a genocide-themed screed that calls for dehumanizing Democrats as demons who don't deserve rights. The "Unhumans" playbook, exposed: www.thenerdreich.com/why-trump-ke...

Cops lie.

He reportedly called his ex-wife to ask her to "lie for him" and to "cover for his character."

“Ashley Brouillette told a reporter that she wanted to speak publicly because she had previously reported concerns to his superiors in the military about his mental health. She said he was abusive in their relationship.”

For a movement as hung up on The Masculine Virtues as these donkeys it's striking how dedicated they are to avoiding responsibility for anything they do or any of the consequences of those actions. Going through life on the verge of tears, looking for someone else to blame—now that's MAN.

Congress barely works more than one day per week, and only works 43% of the year. Your government wants you to be the serfs in the fields while they profit off our servitude.

That'd be news to them www.hrw.org/reports/1991...

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

THE KIDS ARE BORED BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE ANYWHERE TO GO OR ANYTHING TO DO!

Police go to court to argue their only obligation is to protect property, not people. Protesters need to keep this in mind; cops will not ensure your safety. So take necessary steps.

one of the largest majority-Black cities in the country has been under occupation by the federal government for the past nine months Trump's "Memphis Safe Task Force" is getting people killed ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Tired of ICE mercenaries terrorizing your community? Afraid that they're going to murder yet another person—perhaps one of your neighbors? Find out where they sleep. Go there and make sure they cannot sleep. It's easy enough. Here's how people did it in Minnesota: crimethinc.com/noisedemos

Users on Reddit are saying these are the ICE agents in Biddeford, Maine who murdered Joan Sebastian Guerrero today. A still image from a video obtained by CNN shows these two at the murder scene.

Our government thinks it keeps us safe by executing our neighbors.

i think ICE should be abolished and every officer should be put in jail and starved

what does public safety demand be done about ICE agents

Pointing out that ICE is murdering people they’re not looking for clearly isn’t to say it would be right for them to murder the people they are looking for. It’s to highlight how they are bringing roving terror and arbitrarily death to the whole US population. There’s no containing their threat.

So much police violence is the norm. Around 3 people a day die from police violence. One-third of them are running away. mappingpoliceviolence.us

Whatever actually happened in Maine, this much is clear Immigrants aggressively chased by goons in unmarked vehicles know instinctively that if they stop a) their family will be broken forever and b) they're headed to a gulag where folks die from neglect So they panic And ICE murders them

Hate is not strong enough an emotion for the perpetrators of these executions.

A certain sort of personality really, truly, deeply wishes they could be openly conservative, and feels a genuine hatred of Republicans for being too racist/sexist/homophobic to allow it. But they prefer to take that hatred out on the Left, because those are who they actually disagree with

We are ALL targets. Anyone Black & brown: Supreme Court shadow docket greenlit racial profiling. Anyone who protests: activists are being rounded up through anti terrorism laws (another original homeland security creation) They’ve bought tech to hack ALL phones. Fascism is the design.

We need to reform the death squads

The federal government is making it plain; voluntarily ruin your own life and upend everything you've ever known, or they'll murder you. charges and convictions will not be enough.

This is who Trump's immigration crackdown is actually targeting. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. No criminal record. A work permit application in progress. 35 years of building homes and raising a family. Shot and killed by ICE in his van. Remember his name.

Cops lie. Doubly true for paramilitary thugs pretending to be cops.

Shocked that the institutions that announced they wouldn't cooperate with ICE were actually lying and spying on their teammates opposition

Texas AG Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he didn't live while voting in 6 elections in the past 2 years, violating election laws... ...maybe someone should look into potential mortgage fraud, since GOP is happy targeting Trump's foes on that. https://bit.ly/4vPC0lM

Damn the piece of shit turned out to be a piece of shit. Who woulda thunk.

“In his Instagram post, Encina thanked Gomez, the Getty photographer, whose presence on the train he said was ‘quietly reassuring.’ In the interview, he said seeing a photographer there gave him some comfort because someone was documenting what was happening.”

wow european soccer fans would boo a black player? how new and novel.

North Carolinians are struggling to afford groceries and rent while members of Congress and executive branch officials make money trading individual stocks. Looks bad. Is bad. Should be banned.

Cape Verde’s World Cup heroes have landed back home, greeted by saluting airport staff and hundreds of fans 🇨🇻 Today is also the 51st anniversary of the country’s independence. Have a day, Cape Verde 💙

Abolish Airbnb for many reasons, but why not add this one to the top of the pile.

white man terrorized a black woman over a parking space. She pulls a gun out and tells him to leave her alone. He continued coming at her. She walks backwards and he walks towards her. She continues retreating, gun trained on him, he continues pursuing. She shoots him dead. Give her a medal.

Ever wondered what it'd sound like to hear an Aussie Supercar take on Homestead's infield road course? Wonder no longer.

This is bone-chilling. A conservative hedge fund manager wants to require little girls to pass genital inspections for their “safety.” And it’s only for girls’ sports. There’s a clear link between transphobia and child sexual abuse.

POV you're JD Vance's God:

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

I have noticed how few people are grappling with SCOTUS yet again overturning portions of the 14th amendment today (they just invented a trans exception to the equal protection clause). Birthright citizenship doesn’t matter if trans citizens aren’t protected as citizens. It’s an empty marker.

On the last day of Pride Month, happy Trans Pride, now and forever and ever and ever, Amen.

Anyway, trans rights are human rights. And as always: anyone obsessing over genitals writ large is a pervert.
