A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

what a dumbass

The DOJ wants federal agents to protect ICE from protesters. In Broadview, ICE is terrorizing everyone -- including local law enforcement.

they are who we thought they were

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...

I’m starting to notice a trend in the polling data… —Top Public Worry: Corruption —Biggest problem in Fed Gov: Corruption —Top fear: Corruption —What one word would you use to describe American government?: “Corrupt” It’s almost like voters are trying to tell us something.

These are crimes. DOGE affiliates committed crimes. They stole our information.

She's right comparing ICE to the gestapo is unfair. The gestapo didn't wear masks.

every single day that we are ruled by this senile freak has a new humiliation on an international scale

How can 17 people face charges for the alleged actions of a single shooter? How can an officer sustain shots from a rifle to the neck and torso and be released from the hospital in 24 hours? Are anarchist zines evidence of a plan to commit an ambush? There are many questions still unanswered.

We should all pay attention to this case.

Beavers laugh at your bureaucracy and sloth.

Holy shit

This story has been updated to reflect that these rumors are not true. So let’s make them real. See y’all Friday morning at 1930 Beach Street!

The University Democrats at UT-Austin, a longstanding student group, has been told that no guests, candidates, or speakers can speak at their meetings unless the administration approves them. Submitted speakers' lists have been ignored or summarily denied. Please HMU if you know a good 1A attorney

Dallas area Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett

Do zoomer dudes know they’re all ripping off his haircut

“A wide range of specialists in domestic and international law regulating the use of force have argued that Mr. Trump and Pete Hegseth … are giving the military illegal orders and causing Special Operations forces to deliberately target civilians … in violation of murder laws.”

...

The most important thing to remember when a politician says they are “tough on crime” or want “law and order” is that they ignore and immunize the crimes of the powerful and wealthy. They only enforce *some* laws against * some* people. Remind yourself of this every day.

The idea that “the civil rights act was a mistake” is a mainstream conservative position we can only tolerate but “defund the police” is a great cancer that must be excised from America for Democrats to win is the actual reason Democrats lose. Sorry.

weird that neither of these articles two main stories decrying censorship mention WaPo's firing of @karenattiah.bsky.social I guess democracy really does die in darkness

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

The most spineless cowards to ever hold office Jesus christ.

ABC didn't even put up a statement they just started playing a rerun of celebrity family feud in Kimmels spot.

Imagine capitulating to a president that is so underwater that he doesn't even have 50% approval with white people as a white supremacist

because, when you get down to it, there's just not that much to say about it. what trump stands for is evil, and self-evidently so. it's not interesting. there's no nuance to it. it is just every kind of idiotic belief which exists fuelling every kind of evil a state can do.

Update: It's not just Nexstar “Jimmy Kimmel Live will be preempted indefinitely” - per an ABC spokesperson

look, it is comforting to think that your political opponents are, at the end of the day, just people like you who really want us all to live together as Americans. it's just very obviously not *true* in MAGA's case, as you can tell through, well, what they say and do.

A new poll from Data for Progress found that “voters of all parties” are open to leftist policies, and that a majority of Democratic voters polled preferred democratic socialism to capitalism “when written definitions of each are read aloud to them.” Read more: www.teenvogue.com/story/gen-z-...

It is genuinely humiliating as an America to have this sour, cowardly, narcissistic lout represent us and to know that so many Americans applaud conduct like this. Just deeply embarrassing.

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

Watching the administration & an entire party come unglued because a podcaster was murdered speaks volumes about this country and who we are. Absolutely sticking it to anyone who took their career in government seriously. Almost as bad as what SCOTUS has done for law school.

Trump continues in the clip: "Well, if the governor had asked me to do that, I would have done that, but the governor of Minnesota didn't ask me." In June, he said it would be a "waste of time" to talk to Walz because he's "so whacked out." The special election for Hortman's seat is tomorrow night

Trump now: if the Governor of Minnesota had asked me to do that, I would have done that. Trump then: it would a waste of time to talk to the Governor of Minnesota about the shootings.

so are democrats really just going to remain silent as republicans target half of the country for retribution over a crime they didnt commit? im being serious, when do democrats call out this bloodthirsty rampage for what it is

A totally serious commitment and not at all extended in only one direction.

Lmao at bluesky actually celebrating violence.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

An Iowa official defied the governor’s orders to fly flags at half-staff for Charlie Kirk, writing he wouldn't honor a man who "did so much harm"

The last thing you see when the goblins come for you.

I don't think the Viking warriors are gonna let in a podcaster, my man

I've often said that the Republican Party is the legislative arm of Fox News. But when you see the state honors being accorded to Charlie Kirk you realize it's even worse. The Republican Party is now the executive and legislative arm of far-right social media stars.

The guy who nearly got people killed spreading Pizzagate. Who called for an end to American democracy *last year*. Who told his followers to “take the path of the hunter … we are going to make them the prey." We’re watching this country collectively descend into madness.
