I deleted a post that erroneously said the protest was nonviolent. Ya, but then I read more of the story and it turns out one of the people shot a cop with an AR-15. So it wasn't ALL non-violent. The sentence is still outrageous. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Secret police secretly filming a regular citizen at a public space. This is what is looks like a totalitarian regime. This is not KGB action in Russia. This is USA on 23rd June 2026. Woman arrested for TOUCHING the water at Reflecting Pool.

The ideology in question is opposing fascism. This horrific action is a shot across the bow at all of us—everyone who cares about their neighbors, who dares to dream of a better world, who opposes ICE terror and authoritarian repression. We cannot allow the state to disappear them.

JUST IN: A federal judge in California has issued a nationwide block on ICE's policy of conducting arrests at immigration courthouses. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

musk is *uniquely* dependent on the federal teat to a degree that’s unusual even by the tech billionaire class, which is why a democratic house should make him public enemy number one: he’s a very big target who is extremely vulnerable, and they should make an example out of him

like hell yeah we’re alive let’s do drugs and come up with new ways to fuck

You can draw a through line between Standing Rock, Stop Cop City, the Palestine encampment student protests, and the results of the Prairieland case. And then still have Dems asking why there aren't more protests...

Far harsher sentences than the worst J6ers, who are free today: “Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys who was convicted of seditious conspiracy, was sentenced to 22 years in prison. Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the far-right group the Oath Keepers, was sentenced to 18 years in prison.”

23-year-old Daniel Cressy just became the first person in Louisiana to be functionally cured of sickle cell disease through gene therapy www.fox8live.com/2026/06/23/n...

The Second Reconstruction needs to think big and bold.

Don't let anyone ever tell you that the U.S. doesn't have political prisoners. We've always had political prisoners, and this is just another egregious example.

oh look, it’s the thing we all said would happen. god fucking damnit i hate being right. they’re using this shit to enforce fake morality and dress laws even if you’re doing what you’re legally supposed to.

This is a really interesting read about how South Africa remade its entire judicial system after apartheid fell. Lessons to be learned here. www.liberalcurrents.com/how-to-rebui...

I think Elon Musk is JUST sentient enough to be dimly aware that he is damned for all time - that his name will be pissed and spat upon for as long as his filthy legacy is remembered - and that delights me. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The number of people detained by ICE for over a year has soared—surging five-fold from March 2024 to March 2026. How the Trump admin has plunged people into indefinite detention with little recourse or opportunities to petition for freedom. boltsmag.org/louisiana-im...

🚨New data: In the 8 months after H.R. 1 enacted the deepest SNAP cuts in history, the number of people receiving SNAP fell by 4+ million (-10%) nationwide. In just the 13 states with available data, 800,000+ fewer kids are receiving SNAP. www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

People who wonder if "discontinuity" isn't overstating the magnitude of the climate crisis would do well to actually check the weather. 1-in-7000-year heat wave. And that's just one of a flood of historically unprecedented climate events this month, observed in a vast array of places and systems.

White supremacist reign of terror to continue under Trump lackey Tom Homan, corrupt official who accepts bribes in bags. Corrupt Homan promises more ethnic cleansing.

ICE flights. Sunday, June 21, 2026. At least 52 flights on 23 airplanes. At least 8 removal flights.

Yeah, fuck this. Our public money is essentially being diverted from science to supporting the stock prices of ruling party donors.

Dodge Chargers seem to be the preferred vehicles of fascists when running down people. The nazi who killed Heather Heyer was also driving a Charger.

The Best Way to Close a Concentration Camp Is to Keep It From Opening

I’m excited to share that @ksavin.bsky.social, @calliefreitag.bsky.social, and I have a new piece out summarizing our research on how the Trump admin’s attack on the public sector have made it harder to get and maintain disability benefits—which were already quite difficult to navigate.

The project of both sides-ism is to laboriously pretend you do not hear it when conservatives plainly state what they believe and want, and to read unspoken and fully invented intentions into everything progressives do and say

The first step to weaning off petrochemicals is to stop draping ourselves in petrochemicals. I hope someday soon we can scale up biomaterials like these hybrid protein textile fibers. #ChemSky 🧪 source.washu.edu/2026/05/synt...

Rep. Claudia Tenney: "There are thousands and thousands of cases of people voting in the wrong place, at the wrong time. This happens all the time. But the Democrats want to tell you it doesn't happen because you can't prove it."

Doesn't matter if there is proof. All that matters is they effectively brainwash their masses before the election and then launch their paid militias out in force to overturn the results. Reality has nothing to do with this.

Whichever of the purple dots you look at turns more purple.

Nazis should sound weird. Nazi stuff should sound weird. Normalize the way they talk and you are by extension normalizing Nazism

as a bipolar person, i hate that people use "hallucinate" to describe AI chatbots. it's not hallucinating. it's not even lying. it can't think. it's doing what it was designed to do: be a fancy, glorified autocomplete.

The most timeless legal principle is that the law is established for the sake of human beings. If the state creates these lex cogit ad impossibilia situations ("you need the ID to get the ID") then the state is fine un-personing them. This is the creation of a "death world" in necropolitics.

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Palestine didn’t “fail to qualify” for the World Cup. Israel literally killed everyone on the team.

A surrender treaty at Versailles, you say?

Remember, it's only a waste of taxpayer money when it is something that is being done to help other people

NYT: Can you now say whether you will hold anyone in your administration accountable for the strike on a school that killed more than 100 children? TRUMP: No. It's such a strange question to be asked. It's a long time ago. Mistakes are made. I would ask Pete Hegseth that question.

Mamdani: "Solidarity with a government that is committing genocide is a very different thing than a question of solidarity with people of a specific faith. I'm proud to be a mayor of the city with the largest Jewish population in this country."

Trump: "I want to thank Vladimir Putin"

stay hard out there

The entire Republican strategy is "Heads I win, Tails you rigged it." I don't know why anybody pretends the confederates are anything other than what they are. Why give them the presumption of good faith?

Elon Musk's incitement of pogroms in Belfast reveals he'll use his immense wealth and influence to foment untold fascist violence in the future. Only a global movement can break his power. New piece from @polphilpod.bsky.social and me. Threading highlights below. 1/ newrepublic.com/article/2119...

This account pings you every 10 minutes with the number of ships that have transited the Strait of Hormuz. No ships have passed the Strait since the "peace deal".

As the government raids “antifa groups” in Minneapolis with the SAME charges levied against myself and the rest of the Broadview Six, we need to be asking how they got this indictment. And as charges (hopefully) get dropped, we must remember the process is the punishment.

And he wasn't one of the guys with the bomb. No. Just a supporter and part of the group. Under fascism, Bonhoeffer is as close as you get to a hero. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietric...

Bonhoeffer tried to assassinate... Hitler. It's so telling that when a GOP stooge is looking for the name of a bad political assassin... he doesn't name Wilkes-Booth or Oswald or Sirhan Sirhan. He names a hero who tried to snuff out Hitler. He knows, in his fucking BONES, who Trump is.
