they've got Raffi calling for regime change. something has shifted.

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks

If the executive branch can unilaterally cut off federal funding to specific states the union has already been dissolved.

H's family is continuing to suffer from worsening illness—all of them have COVID while the toddlers are also recovering from hepatitis. This link is their only lifeline. Help with care, nutrition, and their shelter this month. Anything helps: chuffed.org/project/hope...

oldhead advice from an oldhead. every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown" and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work gotta build for long term

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular. From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

When you learn how many "they should have just followed orders" people are in this country, then you begin to understand how we arrived to the point of a federal fascist takeover.

Trump's goons are already pepper spraying and roughing up people in the Twin Cities this morning

Not super fun to think about the degree to which literal brain damage is setting the American agenda at the moment

But resistance IS dangerous. People are going to die just by resisting Trump's regime. But people are going to die if we don't resist, too. It's no longer a question of safety - none of us are safe, no matter how privileged. It's a question of who we want to be. And I don't want to be complicit.

It's telling that you say "I don't think masked thugs should be murdering innocent people in broad daylight" and Republicans start jumping up and down yelling "I guess we can't have law enforcement then." Do you hear yourself

if you joined ICE I don't think you just get to melt back into society ever again. I think it should be the albatross around your neck for the rest of your life. I sure as hell won't hire anyone who worked for ICE. hope that signing bonus lasts

"what are we going to do with 20,000 ICE agents if we abolish ice" well to start with I think we should all literally spit on them in public for the rest of their lives

This is insane. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The thing is that if ICE hadn't been there, Renee Good would still be alive. There was nothing violent happening, no problem occurring, that ICE didn't cause. If ICE didn't exist, Renee would be alive. This isn't about law enforcement. It's about a gang of violent criminals run by our government.

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

We don't have to live like this.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

so in the first week of 2028, the Trump administration has kidnapped a foreign leader, threatened a sovereign nation, and just straight up murdered a US citizen

The confidence with which Trump and Noem consistently blame victims of ICE for being victimized is insane, considering that we live in a world where everyone has a recording device and the Internet in their pocket.

One hundred thousand people a year and y'all using past tense when you talk about Covid now jfc

Greenland is happening. Not a joke, not trolling, not a distraction. He has already made up his mind and nobody who matters in the inner circle will try to talk him out of it. Some of them want it precisely because it will destroy NATO. There are no adults in the room. They really mean to do it.

Whether it’s Donald Trump demanding Greenland from Denmark or Barack Obama asking for Dijon mustard from a hotdog vendor, both presidents made some highly unusual requests.

Very on-brand here for Israel.

Jesus christ. The Birzeit University raid was over screening a movie about Hind Rajab?! Fucking monsters. www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-ea...

“Food is a uniquely powerful tool, and Aramark is using it to exploit a captive consumer market of incarcerated people and their families to unlawfully profit off them,” Shennan Kavanagh, director of litigation at the National Consumer Law Center, said in a press release.

Psst I can't run two drives at once, so I'm just reminding you that we have a big £4,000 match for six families & a displacement camp through the giving circle. This is an amazing chance to make twice the impact for their lives Then take new action. For us all. chuffed.org/project/hope...

A friend died of breast cancer. She shouldn't have. When she showed up at her doctor's with classic symptoms, as a fat woman, she was told to just lose weight. By the time it was caught... She should still be alive. She died in her 30s because she was fat. I'm so angry. I love you so much, H.

okay i am sorry to be that bitch but the one word you can't use to describe this is "unprecedented."

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

living in this country is like being awake on the table

We are a rogue state, run by a dictator, and the international community should treat us as such including all appropriate economic and diplomatic sanctions

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

we need to ask for guillotines and put up this as the compromise

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

The closest comparison for the Grok thing we can imagine right now is if cereal made a bunch of people ill and the news put a microphone in front of some cereal boxes at the grocery store and was like “well they didn’t admit guilt, not sure who else we can ask”

I wonder who told folks this was a problem right off the bat .. Was it possibly DV advocates and sex workers ? Because yes

Apparently it's one thing when protestors get shot and killed by cops in Iran, but it's fine if it's our government doing it.

A hearty congrats to RFK Jr., as the U.S. is poised to lose its measles elimination status after 25 years, with the most cases since the early 1990s.

May 2026 bring a reckoning.

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution: If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow. If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious. By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

Here a novel idea, let’s let the survivors redact the Epstein files.

This may seem overly simplistic but I think it’s kind of obvious as an adult that that you should be able to choose other adults to fuck or not fuck based on any reason you want without being scolded

All of this is a choice None of this is pre-destined

At the point where I, a person so disabled that THIS government recognizes it, can't afford my maintenance meds. Did the math, and if being disabled was my full time job - it is - I'm making $8.50/hr - obvs unsurvivable. & the minimum wage in this country is less than that. What a fucking mess.
