Seen on Berkeley streets

Stick bug!

Statement from Mayor Ishii: March 24 Public Safety Technology Council Item Read the full statement: tinyurl.com/y957ezp4

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Cosmically, there is something very darkly funny about spending an entire decade of American politics obsessed with repudiating the mistakes of the Iraq War, and then immediately doing it again at the first opportunity, but with even less justification, planning, strategy, or foresight.

Pretty serious allegation here. "Witnesses told the BBC that the Israeli soldiers had arrived disguised in Lebanese military fatigues and used ambulances with signs of Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You can host a block party on your own street in Berkeley. Neighbors can apply to close the street for a weekend event with a simple permit and a $15 fee.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas. "He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." www.bbc.com/news/article...

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

BREAKING: James Talarico wins the Democratic Senate primary in Texas. Talarico ran on fighting corruption in DC, and winning back power for working people. In an era of vast inequality Talarico told voters that “billionaires are waging class warfare against the rest of us.”

If there are democratic elections in November, Democrats will retake the House. Jeffries CANNOT be speaker.

Were they looking at poll numbers for a different guy? Because the guy speaking at the SOTU is really unpopular, to the point where clapping politely could lose you votes

Culturally normal is eating at Michelin star restaurants, owning a winery, and fucking your campaign managers wife.

Mamdani angers certain journalists and their bosses because he's a well-educated child of privilege like they are, but he's the way he is and they're the way they are and it shames them and they can't deal with it. It's not hard to figure out

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.

I think "woke" was at least partly identified with "irritating" and the way we're rectifying that in Woke 2 is by being scary instead

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

UPDATE!!! The Tribune Editorial Board endorsed the AlPAC candidate in my race partially because she left the IL progressive caucus because she supports unconditional military aid to Israel. In their eyes, it’s “a principled position for a principled Democrat.” www.chicagotribune.com/2026/02/03/e...

I know that voice!

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Another Gestapo murder in Minnesota. Six agents wrestle someone to the ground and then shoot him in the back www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

guys she’s hereeee! look at this baby hamburger I am fostering and adopt her if you’re in the Bay Area. www.oaklandanimalservices.org/adopt/animal...

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Holy hell, what an obituary

Polling during Biden's Presidency showed that Americans believed unemployment was at *all time highs* when it was actually at all time lows. The media comprehensively and systematically lied to Americans

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

portland city council confirms that two portland residents have been shot by federal agents. at this time, the city council has been told that both victims are alive.

No, arrest the murderer now. If he walks they will keep killing us.

The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago. The Star Tribune talked to her mother. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

In celebration of Mamdani's first day in office, the map from our 2016 NYC atlas celebrating Queens as the most linguistically diverse place on earth. (800 languages spoken in NYC, according to NY's Endangered Language Institute, which collaborated with us on this map.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

The New York Times allowed an opinion columnist, whose photographs appear in the Epstein files, to post his opinion on the Epstein files. This is egregious journalistic malpractice.

U.S. pals: Do. Not. Donate. To. Salvation. Army. There are better charities out there. Much better.

i stand by this statement every year

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

The numbers are in: We raised $1.24 million in direct contributions and anticipated matching funds from more than 3,150 donors in only 10 days! 📈 THANK YOU, DC!!!
