when ur confronted by a group of cops they will almost always give u conflicting information and instructions, each one of them wants to be the one in control. this gets even more stressful and confusing when weapons or force are involved. fight or flight is a natural response.

We will now begin naming ICE and BORTAC agents who have been participating in kidnapping and murder. Meet T.J. Rico of McAllen, TX, a BORTAC agent who accompanied Greg Bovino to Chicago and Minneapolis. Rico is married to a famous Unvision news anchor who covers CBP, raising concerns of bias.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

its my birthday idk I want to pay bills please $geencream

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

bluesky leftists stop fedposting challenge: impossible

At least we don’t live in a world of staggering class disparity in which a tech magnate attempts to quash left-wing sentiment using sexualized artificial intelligence!

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

if you're wondering why your trans friends everywhere are a little on edge right now, it's because a story about a radical conservative christian student abusing rules and processes to deliberately target a trans instructor consistently gets reframed to omit the entirety of the anti-trans bigotry

guys, is it supposed to be 70° on christmas eve

Trans healthcare is literally lifesaving. The push to dismantle it is openly genocidal. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Every trans adult was a trans child. No amount of criminalizing healthcare can change that. The only thing it will do is make for more traumatized kids. And those traumatized kids will, at best, become traumatized adults. But many will kill themselves first. That is the point of this legislation.

In the UK I can’t even read DMs unless I give them my passport and a video of my face. This happened almost overnight! Don’t take this for granted, America!

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

i love that a significant portion of the population of the world believes in demons and the devil and satan. they just think this stuff is real and it genuinely scares them

The U.S. Supreme Court: "ICE can racially profile people it arrests." Also, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Texas can disenfranchise voters based on race." Can we all agree that we currently have a white supremacist Supreme Court?

please help out my good friend rose if you can <3

In the long term this is what will kill what's left of America's miniscule credibility in MENA: US-backed ceasefires are when the Arab ceases and Israel continues to fire. And this is not a Trump problem, but a bipartisan problem. This "ceasefire" was achieved by the previous president.

Acquaint yourself with the major antisemitic conspiracy theories. Don't automatically discount it when left Jews tell you that you've done a dogwhistle, even if you didn't intend it. These are trencherous waters. Oppose genocide, *and.* Do not do the Nazis' work for them.

They will absolutely swoop in and groom casual left audiences who don't understand the difference between antisemitism and anti-Zionism. They understand that the casually disaffected-- the folks half-listening and not organized-- are easy targets with no firm loyalties.

If we are not sharp-- if we are not careful and diligent-- we tee up the ball for Fuentes, MTG, Carlson, and all the rest of these grifting Nazi bottomfeeders. They are eyeing us. They are eyeing the rightful passion and anger. They want to channel it into their Nazi project.

If you don't think this is happening already on the left, you are willfully naive. There are MANY people happily making antisemitic insinuations and blowing antisemitic dogwhistles, some on purpose and some without understanding the history.

Israel is engaged in genocide, it is a genocide materially assisted by the US, and AIPAC is the biggest lobby pushing for that material assistance to continue. AND. We need to proactively address anyone trying to exploit these realities and justified anger to advance or engage antisemitism.

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel. We have to be SHARP on the left right now.

The ACLU and the EFF are suing San Jose over its Flock cameras. There are nearly 500 cameras in the city. It is essentially impossible to drive anywhere in the city without being tracked. Cameras outside of immigration law firms, abortion clinics, places of worship www.404media.co/aclu-and-eff...

Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.

Some context to the viral videos: Around 9am Friday, ICE/CBP *encircled* several square miles of a safe suburb and *stormed* it using multiple units. They were in cars, on foot in alleys & gangways, and in helicopters. They demanded papers, threatened residents, pointed guns, kidnapped people.

Legally, this is no different from Iran sinking a Disney cruise in international waters and then saying "it's all good, they were terrorists carrying drugs." Which is to say, it's wholly illegal and has been for centuries. You couldn't even do this with a Letter of Marque and Reprisal.

Last time Democrats had a presidential primary, they opted for Joe “fund the police, fund them” Biden. In the Senate, Democrats voted unanimously against defunding the police. If the public thinks a party’s position is the opposite of how it votes, the policy stance is not the cause.

Mercy was on a work trip this weekend and told me she was stopped at an airport checkpoint by a federal agent who repeatedly asked her in Spanish if she was from Mexico because she "looks Latina." Mercy is an American citizen, and she's Black. They're just racially profiling people of color.

If you are a long time follower, you know I’ve been trying to move for 2 years now. At this moment I live in a small basement, no rooms, with my brother and my mom. It’s been this way for 10 years. Now I ACTUALLY have the chance to leave, here’s how you can help ⬇️⬇️⬇️

The thing about working with cops, is, don’t fucking do it. At best, you’re lining up your own attendees to get snatched and beaten. At worst, you’re lining up yourself to get scapegoated by the police. Don’t fucking do it.

very annoying that we had to endure about a month of these people going “calling us nazis hurts our feelings” to then immediately be revealed saying nazi shit and going “yup, we want gas chambers. so what libs”

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

“Free speech curfew” is one of the most authoritarian and dystopian terms I think I have ever heard.

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.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

i’ll never get over this

I wonder how many gas stations had to blow up before you weren't allowed to smoke there anymore
