“Not being socially encouraged or excused for saying racist, sexist, ableist shit was the alternative to incompetent fascism & we prefer the chaotic, incompetent fascism”

The wife of an Army staff sergeant, who is set to train for deployment, was taken from a military base where the couple planned to live. ICE agents had entered the base and detained Annie Ramos.

Huh

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

This is the message MAGA is protesting.

Yes we did.

This is devastating

My favorite genre of Epstein emails are powerful people emailing WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN about how MeToo has gone too far and the woke mob must be stopped.

Minneapolis activist Nekima Levy Armstrong says that despite the "trumped-up charges" she faces over a recent protest against ICE, "I am continuing to use my voice to speak out against this fascism, tyranny and authoritarianism of the Trump administration."

The White House altered the photo of this protestor to make her appear darker, bigger, and hysterical. FREE HER

A court filing called out the White House for creating a deep fake with artificial intelligence to smear Minnesota church protester Nekima Levy-Armstrong.

Walk out against ICE. January 23 4pm. Fruitvale BART, Oakland. March & rally. Solidarity with Minnesota

Men who defend Jonathan Ross for murdering Renee Good are not safe to be around. End those relationships.

They are using pepper spray on people. Including an infant. And trying to lie about it. This entire problem is CAUSED by ICE

This article also states that she has a pulse when paramedics arrived. They were too busy covering their asses while Renee suffered, dying, alone in a car when she could have had medical assistance or at least comfort. THIS IS BEYOND DISGUSTING.

Why is the APA approving an anti trans org for offering continuing education? www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it

About that 1% regret rate

While mediocre "meritocracy" white Americans get the DEI affirmative action they claim: "Ivy League schools admit more legacy than black students" "Who benefits from discriminatory admissions? White males" "white applicants 300% more admitted than Asian applicants with exact same academic record"

Colorado Senator, Michael Bennet, jokes "This is one area where I really am a Bolshevik. I believe we should provide universal healthcare to all Americans. There's no reason not to do it in the richest country in the world, especially if we can do it at half the cost we're providing now."

The fact that this, and every other Trump pardonee who has subsequently broken the law, has not ended Trump's political career, that it barely even registers on the national discourse, underlines just how far we are from a functioning democracy that values accountability.

State enforced gender and name hits different huh?

What we are all experiencing is called "resilience targeting." It is a deliberate attack favored by many of todays shitlords, and is a fairly well known theory in disinfo and climate circles; it's just that everyone seems to be in denial that it's an attack. Today might be a good day to read up

Listening to the audio is incredibly disturbing, these are people with military grade weapons chasing tweens and teens. You can hear some of the kids screaming in fear. Just what the fuck, why isn't THIS national news. bsky.app/profile/free...

Well I’m Andrew Cuomo and I’m here to say I’m touching your daughters the Italian way

Oakland, CA ICE Protest - 7:30 PST View from news helicopter. Hundreds of protesters blocking entrance to Alameda Island Coast Guard Base peacefully Across Bay From San Francisco.

Oh wow: "During the fracas, a federal agent fired a pepper round that struck a (UCC) clergyman, Jorge Bautista, near the chin. The impact caked his face and clothing in orange powder. Bautista said the agent shot him in the face from about 5 feet away." "'I’m in a lot of pain,'" Bautista texted…"

Well that took zero time #gaza

Each county in the Bay Area has its own hotline for reporting and verifying ICE activity. In Alameda County, it's ACILEP at (510) 241-4011, in San Francisco, it's Rapid Response at 415-200-1548. For other counties see immigrants.sf.gov/help/rapid-r...

Wow Never could have predicted this (from @sfchronpitchbot.bsky.social ) #trumpfail

After gutting Medicare and Medicaid to fund tax breaks for the rich, Trump and Republicans are now refusing to stop insurance premiums from skyrocketing. Meanwhile, California will make CalRx insulin available at $11 a pen starting Jan. 1st. We are not the same.

democracynow @miamiherald reports that about two-thirds of the 1,800 immigrants who were held in the ICE jail dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" in July have gone missing from ICE's online database, with their families unable to locate them.

I guess the “cease fire” didn’t last long hmm?
