The governor of California already tried to bring Kirk to a mainstream audience a few months ago, he was on the path to being sanewashed anyway. ABC was probably going to put him in charge of the news

What the GOP says: "We need to tone down the dangerous political rhetoric." What they mean: "We'll keep calling you communists and pedophiles but you can't call us fascists or racists."

The actual issue is that a lot of you mistake being superior , loathsome scolds for empathy And you’re invested in how we feel about Kirk because it fuels your substacks and discourse of chirping with racists And managing everyone else has been your political currency rather than actual thought

The reality is many of you are just exposing you’ve always felt more kinship to Kirk than any of the people he targeted and prided yourself on being able to make theater rather than actual safety And if you actually believed in a discourse and understanding You’d listen

It's rare in politics that you can see your attempted political strategy being tested in real time by an analogous party in another developed country that shares your language, and yet these idiots can't even bother with addressing why this isn't working for Labour.

This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you” Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

At the Israeli prison, US human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs. We condemn this violence against Chris and demand accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment he faced. #BreakTheSiege

BREAKING: 1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. No grandma should be kicked out of her nursing home so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.

And also note - this is a continuation of the horrid standard practice of using the bodies of Black Women - without their consent- for reproductive experimentation. The "Father of Gynecology" was a sadistic f*ck. All praise to Lucy, Betsey, and Anarcha. www.npr.org/2017/02/07/5...

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers. Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful

How Protesters Used Pink Benches and Chairs To Block Hundreds of ‘Less-Lethal’ Munitions and Evade Arrest Reporting from the frontlines ~ @shoton35mm.bsky.social

Protestors stop looters and save businesses in Los Angeles. US Media won’t show you this. “We don’t do that shit” #3E #stopICE

“I want to make a special appeal to soldiers, national guardsmen, and policemen: each of you is one of us. The peasants you kill are your own brothers and sisters. When you hear a man telling you to kill, remember God’s words, ‘thou shalt not kill.’” Óscar Romero, El Salvador, March 23, 1980.

for no reason, an excerpt from "let this radicalize you"…

Probably the best sign I saw in Los Angeles yesterday said "If we don't make it harder for them to be Nazi's now, they will make it harder to not be a Nazi in the future."

"it's not peaceful for people to be on the highway" -LA Mayor Karen Bass right now. This is what I mean when I say the word "peaceful" as applied to protesters is about prescribing placidity, not nonviolence. Calmly marching on a freeway is pretty inarguably nonviolent. " Peaceful" you can debate

WHAT HAVE WE BECOME? ICE raiding elementary school graduations?? Protestors run over?? People kidnapped/disappeared?? @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Daily pressers - NOW! Masks, no warrants/badges. 😡 Call Your Reps and Senators: (202) 224-3121 DEMAND THEY INVESTIGATE ICE!

Perfect.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Please watch THIS particular interview, shared by @prisonculture.bsky.social to get the play by play on what happened. Getting arrested for protesting is a king move, but that's not what happened here. This was a goddamned grab and sack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUjf...

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Pope Leo's first sermon and, uh, his using the phrase "be ever more fully a city set upon a hill" and cf'ing it to Rev 21:10 instead of any of the others before saying "many baptized Christians" are "living in a state of practical atheism" is. Well. Shots fired! www.npr.org/2025/05/09/g...

Little baby Soso

Krishnamoorthi: Well, look—you’ve heard of artificial intelligence. I think what you see right now in the White House is just natural stupidity.

Biden, 52%: “low end approval” Trump, 39%: proceeding “as expected”

@chuckschumer.com you are saying it is ok to zero out $23B for veterans exposed to toxic burns if you allow this to go through. I ask you to draw in your courage and say NO!

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

God please empower your children to bruise the eyes of people impersonating ICE agents In Jesus name amen 🤲🏿

theres a huge demonstration happening in escondido i circled three times and gave them all the honks #sandiego #escondido

Interesting that the officers came back and tried to present an unsigned warrant after being turned away initially? —- Escondido family shares video of ICE agents at their door nbcsandiego.app.link/RR4YqRTPwQb

Border czar Tom Homan is on CNN complaining that Chicago is “very well educated” and people “know their rights” too well for ICE to be able to enforce mass deportations. Good work, neighbors.

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945. They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

Here’s my BIG BIG ASK for the next four years Think in the affirmative Think seriously and truly about what you WANT to see Not who you want to punish not who you hate but what you WANT to see THRIVE

You can’t “personal finance “ your way out of greedy landlords and depressed wages.

Gee whiz I wonder why

NEW: Biden is facing calls to grant clemency to women who were sexually abused by prison guards + remain incarcerated “If he can pardon his son, he can definitely grant clemency to survivors of this heinous abuse by federal government employees,” one survivor told me 20+ cases sitting on his desk:

To everyone in a similar scenario: the tactic my doctor's office has taught me is to ask, in writing, for: 1) the name, board specialty, and license number of the doctor making the determination the treatment was not medically necessary;

i’m gonna just watch this at least once a day and i recommend everyone do the same

Anyone got eyes on Kristi Noem

Quite a revealing interview with Elon Musk’s father. Worth a perusal to understand better the psychopathology of Musk and his family:

“May their memories not just be a blessing but also a call to action “

Real talk here. I've got 4 grandkids, and the battle is for them.
