"An ICE takedown caught on camera left a 19-year-old bleeding and requiring stitches to his head. Cellphone video showed the teen get tackled by agents. Once they figured out they had made a mistake, they dropped him off at a park, bloody and bruised..." www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/d...

I’m not saying the person on the right deserves the same fate as the person on the left, but maybe you are?

William Shenstone said this in the 1700s. Fits our times rather well.

It's not wrong. Privatized tyranny is still tyranny, and it's still governance by the corrupt. That's why 99% of humans on this planet have Teflon in their blood but no one is doing anything about it *and* they're allowing data centers to go up without regard for environmental concerns.

Prayer didn’t abolish slavery, secure women’s rights, defeat segregation, or expand civil liberties. People did that — through activism, reason, democracy, and constitutional protections. Progress comes from courageous action, not politicians staging prayer circles for cameras.

"Let them eat cake."

Ponzu is happy to report that he isn't spoiled at all. Well, maybe a touch. 😉 #catsofbluesky

The way a system works is how it was intended. Pro tip from the super-management world.

Do the laws not apply to the rich and wealthy? Kleptocracy? Quid pro quo. Bribery. You name it. All of this is wrong and illegal. Shameful.

1/2 Reconstruction was nipped in the bud. The US white nation—north and south— was too racist to see black people as fully human. The troops who were protecting their citizenship were removed and sent to West to get Native Americans out of the way for white farmers.

Techno-Baroque with a side of neo-Stalinism. Isn't this timeline amazing? ☠️

There have been more mass shooters over the last 40 years than there have been non-citizens who have voted.

Suppressing the vote is going to backfire on these idiots. You know why? Our fellow Americans don’t like to be told what to do or have their votes suppressed.

Why are people laughing and applauding this insanity? These events are like in front of small children, a demented old man reading fiction stories. Neither of them understanding the reality.

A May Day protester is asked why they are out protesting today in NYC: "People are suffering. People are dying. The rich get richer off the backs of poor and working class people." Nailed it!

And a handout to red states high in senators per billionaire

Irrigated corn for ethanol withdraws 40 times as much water from aquifers as all American data centers will collectively consume onsite in 2028

"Anytime you have a chance to attack your opponent’s strength, you should take it. Rural Americans are getting crushed by Trump, because of Trump. I could see a Mamdani-like Democrat running straight at these precincts with a DSA-style lefty populism."

I worked in politics for over a decade. NOTA is the largest voting bloc, which includes progressives and classical liberals. Behind that is Democrat/liberal and trailing in 3rd place is Republican/conservative. Two party politics create a false binary used to manipulate public opinions.

Vote progressive if you don't want to get tactical. We all need to #NationalStrike as well, now that it's growing season in the cooler states.

No ID checks No luggage searches No magnometers No hand checks No security Bomb squad took 3 HOURS to arrive They are lying to you I'm so tired of the lies. This is not a serious threat, because this is not a serious administration. What have they done to help regular everyday Americans?

Follow the money. #TrumpCorruption

An important point.

The mushroom posting will continue until morale improves

Am I understanding this correctly? The President, the Vice-President, the Speaker of the House AND the Secretary of Stare were all at the White House Correspondent's Dinner together and security was so laxed that a guy ran through security with a long gun? I call bullshit.

I think everyone should work at least one customer service job. Fast food, retail, whatever it is. It would get rid of the majority of entitlement issues that seem to be a growing problem.

The core problem isn’t that our politicians are old (although they are), it’s that our political system and the constitution its based upon are decrepit. The old politicians we have are elected as part of a dusty two party system, outdated bicameralism, and a busted electoral college.

“The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated.” —Justice Robert H. Jackson, Chief American Prosecutor, Nuremberg, 1946

They are globally relentless, well-connected, well-funded and extremely dangerous.

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”

The grift never ends. Most corrupt regime in history

A dark money group funded in the past by Peter Thiel has given nearly $9 million to a GOP-led PAC that is blanketing Virginia with mailers comparing the upcoming redistricting referendum to Jim Crow www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Seven years ago, @katieporterca.bsky.social tried to get an answer out of Jamie Dimon. I'm certain that today we can answer for him that yes, he very much wanted his employee, Patricia, to take out a loan. Poverty is expensive for everyone but the bankers. We must deal with the root of evil.

Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono names the people who have been pardoned by Donald Trump after they have donated to support his campaign and PACs in the Senate hearing on fraud. "I call it corruption." 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

We're paying taxes to let slavecatchers continue to execute black children in the street then lie about it.

If you think the Pope is a radical leftist, wait till you meet his boss.

Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.
