ICE agents must be tried for the murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.

More people need to see this. An ethics-free individual. FWIW, I have my own little story from knowing Moraff years ago. He got real angry in 2020 when I said it was inexcusably racist to defend blackface. He disagreed with me. Might not be the dude you want vetting progressive candidates!

The Birthright citizenship ruling should be a wake up call to any Dem who is still on the fence about court reform. We are essentially one seat change away from the Court undoing Reconstruction by fiat.

Basically the Supreme Court is 5-4 on whether America is white man's country

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

Out: Better things are possible In (laser eyes etc): Better things are inevitable

“In my country America, child rapists are given 30 days in jail and people protesting concentration camps are given life in prison”

The ideology in question is opposing fascism. This horrific action is a shot across the bow at all of us—everyone who cares about their neighbors, who dares to dream of a better world, who opposes ICE terror and authoritarian repression. We cannot allow the state to disappear them.

this should be mandatory reading for the entire country

“a small minority called ‘police’” will be echoing in my head for a while

it's really something isn't it? a modest ranch home? burgers on the grill on sunday? maybe drive down to the grand canyon with the kids this summer for a few days? you can't have that. so they can have everything

Transgressive art is important to make for posterity because fascists love to try to tell you people didn't used to be weird

"Nazi tattoos are fine, but I draw the line at..." is probably where our movements are starting to fail, I dunno

There were left-ish posters I blocked for supporting Platner as recently as a few days ago. I hope I wasn't the the only making that choice. To the Planter stans: Hope your minimizing a *checks notes* Nazi tattoo was worth the loss of credibility, dudes. (They were all men, BTW.)

Adam Hamawy is a seasoned veteran combat medic who literally saved the life of a sitting senator of the United States; volunteered to treat Bosnians and Palestinians during their genocides, helped 9/11 victims on 9/11, and this is how the NYT decides to describe him after he wins a seat to Congress.

Now look at CBS. Installing Bari Weiss to run a news division isn’t a "pivot to the center." It is a deliberate hollowing out. Take a legacy institution, gut its standards, wear its skin like a suit. They don’t want CBS's credibility; they want to destroy the idea that credible news exists at all.

if you just went by media coverage you would think that trangender kids playing sports are a much more immediate threat to the public well-being than a billionaire becoming a trillionaire by pumping $2 trillion worth of fraud into every single 401k

Mikie Sherrill is pulling the same stunt Pritzker and Walz did, defending state police violence against peaceful anti-ICE protesters as necessary to protect the public from DHS, who would be “so much worse” and it’s incredible they don’t hear how abusive this logic is

The thing about Platner is that I swore we were all passing around some anecdote a little while back about how you can't allow even one nazi, even a well-spoken one with good vibes, into your bar. I have a very clear memory of this. We all agreed with it and found it trenchant and apt.

This is 100% true and it's a reason leftists and anarchists are so anti cop. They are genuinely a threat to democratic governance in authoritarian regimes. The NYPD is a hostile occupying force that kidnapped De Blasios daughter and doxed her. He did nothing about it.

I honestly hate the concept of debating. I'm not interested in adversarial communication with someone who has already decided they lose something if they learn something.

Kinda BS that nobody cares if I call myself a "cat mom" but they act weird when I call myself a "cat MILF"

We need to be watching and learning (and doing)

An agent at Delaney Hall attempted to kick a demonstrator into the tires of a moving semi. This cannot be reformed. Video via @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

They didn't die while serving in the military, but they died protecting our freedoms from those who would destroy them, nonetheless. Remembering these heroes on this Memorial Day.

the fact that israel is straight up raping and torturing flotilla activists from all over the world and it’s not an international crisis it’s not putting a stop to anything, what is going ON

if you're cis and you are asked by your management to police bathrooms, "can you confirm in writing that you are ordering me to approach customers to discuss their sex?" is an email no manager wants to reply to

Cis women who don't want to use the same bathrooms as trans women are free to simply not use public bathrooms. They're the ones with the issue, they're the ones who should have to find workarounds. Their creepy obsession with other people's genitals shouldn't become anyone else's problem.

Observed the Himeyuri Peace Museum. It’s a memorial to Himeyuri Girls’ School where girls went from privileged students to heavily indoctrinated militarized combat nurses & eventually lived under constant bombardment & most died miserably in caves or on battlefields in or were horribly disfigured.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

This kind of shit is horrendous and also makes people much less likely to participate in anatomical gift programs, which is a huge loss for medical education, science, and medicine.

It’s never gonna stop being funny/sad how absolutely *terrified* conservative men are of just like… cities.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

I've been on Celexa since age 21 (I'm 44). I'm physically dependent on it. I've tried numerous times to wean off. When I was younger, I'd go back to the depression and anxiety. But in recent years, I can't even change my dose because my GI system goes fucking haywire and does not recover.

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

They spent at least $50 BILLION over 2 months to bomb people in Iran. I don't want to hear a single thing about what can and cannot be funded in this country. Ever. The End.

welcome to the democratic party where a keffiyeh is disqualifying and a totenkopf isn't. please chip in $50 today so we can end fascism

QTing so people wondering the same thing will see it. Wearing a keffiyeh isn’t cultural appropriation. It’s a symbol of solidarity with the Palestinian people and if you want to get one, you should regardless of your race :) Plus it’s very comfy and most utilitarian piece of clothing you’ll have!

I know I'm old because I remember a time when a person would be *immediately* dropped as a candidate the moment the party heads learned about a Nazi tattoo. And it would be so swift & thorough a dropping that no one would remember the guy's name. He'd be a niche trivia answer.

happy may day! every right you have as a worker was written in blood ❤️

One of the most clarifying passages I've ever read on what "polarization" actually means in the U.S."

I never thought the reality distorting leopards would undermine MY consensus reality!

the news is slop that is not discernible from any other entertainment. it's less real than the real housewives. "There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate"

The ruling class has systematically degraded reality discernment and overshot the goal of manufacturing consent. now they're manufacturing "damn that's crazy" "who do fuck knows" and "yeah sure why not probably"

My experience is that for men who see women as equals, treat them openly with respect and dignity, there is no male loneliness epidemic.

"should we really resort to playing dirty to defeat the nazis i–" yes. kick em in the fucking balls. what kind of question is that. grow the fuck up
