Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'

Rude comes from the Latin "rudis" meaning rough or uncultivated. I'm a simple farmer and I don't respond to violent fascists in a refiiiined manner, so this is a badge from BlueSky

I'm seeing a striking false equivalence being made between calling violent fascists subhuman or evil and fascists calling the Jewish people et al. subhuman and evil. The nazis were/are NOT a protected class: not an ethnicity, religion, national origin, or gender. They're not oppressed or victims.

Many Americans are terrible neighbors to each other, and that is why MN is striking everyone as extraordinary activism... when they are telling us that it is not. They're good neighbors! It's no wonder that "being a shitty neighbor" is the hallmark of our domestic politics and our foreign policy.

Is the MN Star Tribune going to report on the risks of summary executions of Minnesotans civilians in the streets? When will the "respectable media" admit that criminals sent by the federal government are pushing an unprecedented tipping point?

Child abuse is a central plank in the conservative platform, because physical mastery of the weak is how they establish dominance, their only value. It's not just something a lot of conservatives do, it is part of being a conservative.

Trivial I know, but who is responsible for making Sen. Bill Cassidy look presentable for work? Look at this clown

I know how Trump can avoid this ICE problem, he could just be six feet below where anything is happening

"This isn't you!" I weep to my boyfriend as he squats in his 'I Shit On Carpets' T-Shirt & shits on my carpet.

Do everything to ICE that happened in Hundreds of Beavers

Anyway, this is a great read right now: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler%...

There are many tactics Republicans can & may employ to try to depress voter turnout and intimidate voters. That said, voter turnout can also be depressed by people preemptively declaring the election is rigged. It takes effort to get to the polls, it doesn't help to tell people it's not worth it.

gotta take out the classics

Lying nazi propagandists say what?

ICE shot out a young trans man's eyes for the crime of caring about his neighbors.

there are so many well-paying gigs available right now for saboteurs and whistleblowers

Megyn Kelly defends Jeffrey Epstein and lies to demonize Renee Good. This is who these "people" are

Epidemic abuse: "One-third of all Americans killed by strangers are killed by police" "White nationalists pervade law enforcement 10,000 family dogs killed by police every year (DOJ: "epidemic") "Police solve just 2% of all major crimes" "NYPD Costs $10 Billion a Year "50% of municipal budgets

A thread of ICE and CBP sex offenders and credibly accused sex pasts. Content-warning descriptions of abuse Yuma Sector CBP agent Ramon Marquez, 31, was arrested in May 2025 and has been charged with 15 felonies including 14 counts of sexual conduct with a 16-year-old between Dec 2024 and Apr 2025.

A Red Lake Ojibwe descendant was snatched by ICE in Minneapolis, and a Plains Cree woman was questioned. This is in addition to the four Oglala Lakota men who reportedly were grabbed by ICE. ictnews.org/news/i-felt-...

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

Silverio Villegas Gonzalez was shot & killed by ICE on Sept 12 ICE chased Jaime Alanis off the roof of a greenhouse; he broke his neck & died on July 12 ICE chased Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez into traffic where he was hit & killed on Aug 14 Josué Castro Rivera was killed the same way on Oct 23

there needs to be a sex offender registry but for ice guys. you should have to go door to door when you move to a new area and inform your neighbors that you used to be an ice guy. they shouldn't be allowed with 500 feet of a school

Hey folks, things are wild right now, especially in Minneapolis. But I wanted to shine a light on something positive happening. My friends and I are trying to save a bookstore as a worker co-op. Please support us, community builds resilience! shastascout.org/recent-flood...

Let's look at an explicitly diverse left-wing series of SF paperbacks, Outspoken Authors. Oh I bet they love to exclude white men, right? 🙄 Series editor, the late white guy Terry Bisson.

The extreme attack on transgender youth we are witnessing from a governmental stage was enabled by The Atlantic and The New York Times.

And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV. There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

"Starkly different accounts" Interesting way for the media to say that eyewitness accounts confirmed video showing brownshirts pinning a pregnant woman face down on the snowy pavement so she couldn't breathe, then dragging her by one arm across the ice, whereas ICE lied about what took place

They're about to legalize doing disgusting things to children and hire a bunch of racist of pedos to do it.

Editor's Note Jeffrey Goldberg, Dec. 2025 Dear readers, Remember how well-informed forward-looking people used to respect The Atlantic? For over 150 years? Oh my god! What have we become? The money isn't even enough to make it all seem normal. We shill for failed ideas and don't even profit much! ☹️

Would be nice if the media reported on all the lies this administration told about going after violent criminals. ICE is attacking the country's first Somali shopping center because it's a community hub, and they want to destroy the lives of nonwhite people, period

How do you do, fellow leftists?

I'm feeling super great about dedicating most of my life to the written word now that adults have decided reading takes too long and is boring
