YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING ✊🏾 m.youtube.com/watch?v=iX6L...

Saw this just now.

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

Slower? Check. Costs more? Check. Is a security issue? Check. No tangible benefit? Check. Yep, techbro nonsense detected.

This is ugly. But the reason this lady was protesting is even worse. ICE thugs detained two children and their father on their way to school. One child appears to have been beaten in detention, and no one seems to know where the 12-year-old girl is right now. The family had been seeking asylum.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Gray-Lipped RFK Jr. Touts Body’s Natural Ability To Transmute Lead Into Gold

This is awful. The people that "don't follow the news" need to get with it.

Bari absolutely rocks. Her two ideas for stories are "I have this famous person's phone number" and "I heard libs were doing some weird stuff out there." Absolutely replacement level suburban dunce.

Around the city and beyond people are looking for ways to help their neighbors who are losing food benefits as the government shutdown continues. Here are four restaurants that are doing what they can feed people in the community.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

It would be cool to live in a country where the leader is not building a roided out army of racist misfits to attack his own people

I bet if we could only find a way to all get together on this we could reconstruct every second of TV from 1957-- 1990. Everybody has a different non-overlapping set of TV commercials they remember.

Who knew witnessing a murder could make you laugh

Victor Cruz has a permit to work in the US and has been following the rules. He is a husband, father, grandfather, and pilar of his community. ICE took Victor not because he committed a crime but because he has the same name as someone else. 🧵

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

SNAP benefits run out in 6 days.

it's important to remember the people doing this aren't "just following orders," they signed up to do this, they're excited to do it, it's what they want to be doing, and each one of them is personally culpable for the entirety of ICE's conduct

We are not following game 1 but enjoying @spaffordmusic.bsky.social at The Get Down, one of our top venues here in the war zone of PDX

I'd say Reagan's policies did a good job of destroying his actual legacy.

Pretty wild that the Republican Party apparently now hates Ronald Reagan — and everything he stood for — and is actively trying to destroy his actual legacy.

I think the Reagan ad is most effective not by the topic but by reminding everyone that presidents don't have to sound like insane morons.

If federal Democrats simply said that they won’t be cowed little sycophants and let Trump do whatever he wants because that’s the actual fucking job that they’ve been hired for—and Republicans won’t do theirs because they’re weak and useless, so many people would be energized behind them

The Chonk Ness Monster

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

The Trump administration wants you to think that the Macadam ICE facility is under attack. It isn’t. 🧵

"Pity the nation whose leaders are liars."

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military. The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history. Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

Ohhh, the east wing is where the woman stuff happened, everything makes a lot more sense now

Offshore wind farms? Eyesores. Dangerous. Oil platforms? We love them, don’t we folks?

Does the Speaker of the House know what's going on in the country? It's not clear that he does, as Mike Johnson's communication strategy seems to rely heavily on being unaware. When faced with questions he should be able to answer, he has a reliable response: "I don't know."

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

So glad we’re wasting more of our tax money on unwinnable lawsuits. My likely opponent, Gracey Van Der Mark, is part of this gaggle of culture war freaks!

Like, aside from the obvious moral concerns, I’d argue that a man who really thought no one would find out or care about him having a Nazi tattoo on his goddamned tiddy isn’t smart enough to be a US senator. Maybe run for the PTA or something. IDK. But a peer of Elizabeth Warren you are NOT.

Victor Cruz is in the country legally and is a well-regarded member of his Oregon community. ICE detained him and they are continuing to hold him in detention in Tacoma - even though they were looking for a different Victor Cruz. www.koin.com/local/washin...

ICE stepped up activities in NYC today and New Yorkers were not having it. (Seen on @keithboykin.bsky.social threads)

When the Dodgers play the Blue Jays on Saturday, they will complete the current AL East World Series opponent quinfecta as they had already played Yankees, Red Sox, Orioles and Rays in the World Series

Ambrose Bierce once wrote: “War is God's way of teaching Americans geography.” Trump has NO IDEA of the complicated history of this region and its conflicts. Colombia has been in civil war for my entire life. Trump is blowing things up left and right. This is how the US lunges into quagmires!🔥🔥🔥

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.
