a new genre of photo in the last year is federal agents working for ICE pointing guns directly at photographers

This is the kind of investigation James Comer was made for…

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

Cześć w kolejnym tygodniu 😁

Jeffrey Tucker is a fan of teenage smoking and not a fan of child labor laws or seat belts. He was forced out of his last job due to allegations of sexual misconduct. So naturally, a perfect fit for this administration! feat @gavinyamey.bsky.social www.conspirituality.net/episodes/281...

🎯🎯

omg! "Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House... "Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

See the difference? 👀 #NoKings

Finally came across video of an arrest at a #NoKings event yesterday. 🙄

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Dude who uses an app tethered to his son’s phone to check in on their shared porn consumption is scared of some naked cyclists in Portland 😂

We are so unprepared. Kennedy is going to bungle this so badly. Glad I got my vaccine already, at least. gulfnews.com/world/asia/j...

The resistance is spawning.

Today's the day! If you search "antifascist dad" in your pod app you'll find Ep 1 with singer and activist @nathanevansfox.bsky.social, laying out the word and spirit of "yallidarity."

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life? #TwentyfiveFortyseven

Thugs.

Kennedy is banking on the fact that most people are not going to read these studies. Sadly, he’s correct. I’ve been seeing propaganda from his video repeated verbatim on social media all week. derekberes.substack.com/p/how-propag...

@this-is-mallory.bsky.social returns to Conspirituality to discuss the grifters selling "natural alternatives" and the mother who od'd on Tylenol to "own the libs" that no one has proof even exists. www.conspirituality.net/episodes/277...

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

I'll be live on @bitchuationroom.bsky.social with @franifio.bsky.social in just a little while talking Tylenolism and TrumpRX... www.youtube.com/live/akxb0oW...

Wounded Knee is a dark stain upon our nation’s history. We must remember it for what it truly was, not for what white nationalists would have it be.

This is the official communication from the FDA to physicians on acetaminophen use in pregnancy. - They acknowledge the lack of a causal link with autism - Essentially tell physicians to keep doing what we've been doing anyway It's very different from the press conference. Pass it on.

I said for years that the only way to permanently reduce migration to the United States was to destroy the vision that the world had of this country as the land of opportunity. That wasn't a goddam suggestion!

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

This is tragic. And intentional. www.kuow.org/stories/seat...

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

"Knives out." Way to tone down violent rhetoric.

"Yesterday, the panel said the Vaccines for Children program could cover the combined shot if parents want it — Friday they voted that it shouldn't. The MMRV shot is no longer recommended to be given, and it will not be paid for by government insurance." www.npr.org/sections/sho...

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

We'd been planning on covering RFK Jr's assertion that antidepressants are the "root cause" of gun violence, but obviously we needed to address a few others things this week as well. www.conspirituality.net/episodes/275...

Pope Leo XIV: ‘There Couldn’t Be A Better Time To Get The Fuck Out Of America Forever’

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

This is a great piece. "As deportations ramp up again, we have a choice: We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together."

Special issue of Berkeley journal of right wing studies- escholarship.org/uc/jrws/2/2 on language, gender and sexuality on the far right with the amazing @burscott.bsky.social — out now, just in time for the bizarre spectacles of the inauguration!

@jamannahoj.bsky.social explains the Pepe as a figure of far rights heroic desire and inner abject disgust (second one largely accurate)

History repeats. In late February 1921, 2 weeks before taking office as POTUS, Warren Harding writes a letter to the richest man in America, William Randolph Hearst, thanking him for helping him win the presidency with favorable coverage in major newspapers he owned & begging for his advice.
