One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti: #3E #GoodvsEvil

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power. Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror. Grow a spine and vote no.

Just saw on KARE 11 that this boy was sent to a detainment facility in Texas and that his family didn't know his whereabouts for almost 24 hours.

The reason the “paid protestor” accusation is so popular is that these are people who cannot imagine doing something because it’s right, to stand up for a principle, talking to other people like that.

In a time where we need our politicians to be voice for the American people we need to go back to holding them to a higher standard. Engaging in backstabbing and airing petty grievances instead of being that voice is not what we need. It’s time for new leadership.

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status. Call the GI Bill Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487

Exhausting.

$1 BILLION per nation to stay on the Gaza “Peace Board” — with Trump controlling the money. Obscene, indefensible corruption. Monetizing the slaughter. There is no bottom. finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-w...

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 know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

Uh oh… Tariffs have hit worm prices 😳

This is their way of continuing to try and take the focus off of where the focus needs to be. They’re all guilty of cover up. It won’t work…

Good thing the fourth amendment, everybody should have one.

Fox News claims to be airing the "entire video" -- but they're cutting off before the officer says, "fucking bitch."

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

OUT: Helping you pay for health care. IN: Helping oil companies pay for their infrastructure in a foreign country.

Five years since January 6, 2021. A mob incited by Donald Trump attacked the U.S. Capitol to try to overturn an election he lost. Don’t let them rewrite history. This was an attack on the Constitution and the peaceful transfer of power. Never forget.

To be clear, we have not forgotten and will not forget about the Epstein files. We can walk and chew gum.

The same guy who says the U.S. military will defend protesters in Iran posted a video 2 months ago in which a cartoon Trump used a warplane to drop shit on American protesters.

Republicans rushed tax cuts for the wealthy but delayed their cuts to Medicaid and food assistance. Why? So they don't kick in until after the midterms. Help spread the word.

This is how you do it folks

Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.

If you're going to drop into every post and reply "So what? Who's going to do something about it?", the answer is YOU. YOU are going to do something about it. YOU are the consequences. Stop waiting for someone else to save you.

I hate this f*ckng administration 😠

Support independent media.

Yeah, hard to explain that... #TDS #ItsAcult #MAGAtNation

7/ Call it what it is: a desperate attempt to criminalize lawful oversight and to bully the officer corps into blind obedience. That will not succeed. The law isn’t on their side. History isn’t on their side. And the Constitution certainly isn’t on their side. #HoldFast

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Terrific

Jeffrey Epstein survivors released a new video urging Congress to vote to release the Epstein files

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Great idea!!

Our review of 700+ videos of the Portland protests shows a wide gap between the reality on the ground and the characterizations by Trump, Fox News and DHS, which said its office in the city was under “coordinated assault by violent groups.” By @robwdavis.bsky.social and Steve Suo

Accurate description “Mar-a-Lago Roach Motel”

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Mary Sheffield will be the first woman and first Black woman mayor of Detroit, Michigan.

Ogles too

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.
