I keep pointing out that by lowering the bar for prosecuting former FBI Directors, Kash signed his own arrest warrant, but under Trump, not AOC or whoever.

Historic preservation is confusing. In Seattle, we conferred permanent landmark status to a Walgreen’s drive-thru.

LOL

That’s right.

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle. And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

Today’s chapter meant so much to me. @thewanderinginn.bsky.social

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

we need to abolish this shit

This is absolutely horrendous...and entirely predictable. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Lots of attention on this Marc Benioff article, which is excellent and full of jaw-dropping quotes. It reminds me of how he was when I did a story for NPR about him secretly buying hundreds of acres of land in rural Hawaii. Things got weird. www.npr.org/2024/02/28/1...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

If this was happening in any other country you'd have journalists and analysts discussing risks of state failure

it would probably be sorta hard for just anyone to do it *this well* because it requires you to actually be normal about trans people, but still it feels important to state for the record that WE ARE NOT HARD TO STAND UP FOR AND ANY OF THEM COULD DO IT.

Subway builder is very fun

Look I think there is a limit to what mockery practically achieves but it fucking rules that the American Himmler had to go on TV to sputter about how he’s not actually under five feet tall

Spot-on framing, excellent headline.

To the extent that Murphy is describing the situation accurately, the takeaway here is that Team Don't Fight is motivated by fear of electoral consequences. Which means that it's voters' job to change what they're afraid of.

Back in the land of reality, here's what one of the Black people whose home was smashed into during the apartment raid last week said about his Venezuelan neighbors: "They were cool people." Mr. Jones, a U.S. citizen, was dragged out in handcuffs and held outside for hours.

It’s shocking how absent Schumer and Jeffries are

We really need to retire "contrarian" as a descriptor for Weiss immediately. The reason she is getting this job right now is because of her *non-contrarian* sensibilities. She espouses views that the US's current power structure likes.

related, when the president is invading our own country, waging war on our own people, i don't wanna see dems give the GOP shit they ask for, don't wanna hear shit bout 'we hope our friends across the aisle will work with us on bipartisan solutions to the problems they cause' i don't want none of it

This afternoon, I sat with Palestinian New Yorkers in Astoria and listened to what they and their families have endured as the genocide in Gaza continues, funded by our government. In the face of immeasurable grief, they have showed unbreakable resilience.

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

You already knew why Israel doesn't let journalists into Gaza

I love you so much @thewanderinginn.bsky.social

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

This is going to be the worst loss in the modern history of Maryland football and ultimately a tenure-killer for Locksley imo

When this game ends, Maryland is either going to be in the best spot it's been in since roughly 2011, or nobody is ever going to show up for a Maryland game ever again

When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys

Absolute least, they should be jailed and forced to pay damages.

if Kash can go back years and fire people for kneeling or displaying a pride flag the absolute least the next Dem admin can do is fire every one of these assholes who are assaulting people on camera (and then prosecute them)

there’s no other way to put this other than full military invasion into america

Stop lying. Your state cops attacked protesters alongside ICE yesterday. I was there. I and others were violently attacked by ICE agents. Your state cops acted in concert with them during the attack.

and if you’re counting yourself as white: are you sure?

ICE gassed members of the Chicago Police Department sent to protect them from protesters

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military. They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

I’m so serious. And dem politicians need to be loudly talking about the consequences they will impose on everyone flagrantly breaking laws when they regain power.

Zeteo demands Israel release the activists kidnapped from the Gaza humanitarian flotilla, including Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg.

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

this is a state sponsored terrorist operation being laid out on an american and every one in ICE needs to be treated as if they are terrorists after trumps regime is over

The Sun-Times *is reporting these were live rounds* fired at a vehicle. There's been much confusion in the immediate aftermath of this about whether whether they were that or pepper balls, and whether person in vehicle was hit by them. This is the most current info we have *at this time.*

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition. A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Verily I tell you, Miller plans to do to Democratic groups, and possibly even the Democrats themselves, what Putin did to Navalny's anti-corruption organization.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+
