The party that has spent unlimited resources and energy getting states to pass laws to allow citizens to openly carry loaded weapons anywhere - now believes that exercising this right is permission for law enforcement to murder you. Honestly, how dumb do they think we are?

This. A handful of Americans have the power to stop this NOW, and they are refusing to.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Woman tells Minnesota Public Radio that the man killed today was helping vehicle traffic get around the area where ICE agents and observers had started to gather and "next thing I knew, they shot him." www.mprnews.org/live-updates....

This something I want people to understand. If you don’t get their names, they’re just gone. There’s no arrest record and the snatch-and-grabs can last seconds. People simply disappear and we can’t find out who they are or what happened to them.

That fourth image literally says "Democrats need to be more racist, so that more racists will vote for them".

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

this is very much not the core of the issue. we tolerate all sorts of biological advantages and disadvantages in sports. the real fundamental question here is: why is this one different than the others?

The 6-month-old that DHS is tweeting about here lived in the neighborhood and the baby’s father was just trying to evacuate his family after federal agents had shot someone.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Gavin Newsom has terrible political instincts. Cozying up to racists like Charlie Kirk. Attacking trans kids. Defending billionaires. When left to his own devices he always picks the wrong path.

Internal DHS training docs are correct: profanity-laden screaming at ICE agents is protected First Amendment speech

100%. If you want an alternative slogan you can go with "Abolish ICE before they kill again."

ICE is now behaving in such a way that even Tucker Carlson’s favorite Holocaust minimizing, Hitler-apologist “historian” is like “hey now guys, this is getting a little out of hand.”

Note, again, ICE is targeting WOMEN. These men illegally burst into her home because they don't think a woman--especially one with children--will fight back. These men are predators, just like Epstein & Trump. They see women, especially with children, as vulnerable prey & selectively target them.

But Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize

ICE OUT FOR GOOD in Hood River, OR, with lots of neighbors from across the river in Washington.

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training. This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One. I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

This is what state sponsored terrorism looks like. ICE thugs just murdered a Legal Observer in cold blood in broad daylight. This blood is directly on Donald Trump's hands

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Rep. Seth Moulton: "This is insane. What the hell are we doing? ... this is illegal."

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)

Looking forward to Nancy Mace’s condemnation of these men in a women’s bathroom.

Trump's in the Epstein files over 600 times.

"A new chart showing month-to-month changes to the job market since November 2020, when Trump lost his reelection bid to Biden. "The red columns show the months in which Trump was in the White House, while the blue columns reflect Biden’s term." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”… BULLSHIT. @repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition. This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

All this will do is increase, dramatically, the suicide rate among trans kids. Societies should be judged by how well they take care of their most vulnerable members. The United States in 2025 continues to fail this test.

New Zealand's libertarian/ populist/ right wing coalition Government is trying to follow Wesley Streeting's lead in banning puberty blockers. This is what the New Zealand High Court has just decided (www.courtsofnz.govt.nz/assets/cases...).

"It's about effort, and just attempting to be respectful and kind to people," lead author Steven Hobaica tells The Advocate.

Parents will still be able to get the hepatitis B vaccine for their children at no cost even though the CDC's vaccine advisers recommended a major change to the immunization practice. https://cnn.it/3Ml3kqo

Find you somebody who looks at you like Donald Trump looks at Zohran Mamdani.

Earlier this week, a new page titled “Vaccines and Autism” appeared on the CDC website. The agency's employees are not happy about it. “The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”

He spent Biden’s entire presidency calling him ‘Sleepy Joe’. Still does. But this guy nods off in the middle of the day in meetings almost every day. Fell asleep in court all the time too.

Don't trust a New York Times reporter. Don't talk to a New York Times reporter. They are the most ambitious journalists on the planet and will do anything to get the story their editor wants. The truth doesn't matter to them, only getting the story their editor wants so they can move up.

I’m just going to say it… It’s pretty damn validating to hear Barack Obama say the same things we’ve been shouting for months, and longer.
