Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since. That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

Independents are +12 on abolishing ICE

kinda wild that mass politics is alive but not to national elites

juries really coming through for the secular democratic project

Timeline cleanse

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

this is the kind of whitewashing of US history that academics should be enraged with, not the kind that motivates people to show up for their communities in -6 degree weather

218 people voted to fund the child kidnapping ring and masked death squads.

I have acquired several hundred followers in the last few hours so I don't think it's working

This is one of the most unsettling three-paragraph sequences I've read in my life, and I've spent two decades reading the most deranged people on the planet.

What America will read this weekend while in line at the grocery checkout: @peoplemag.bsky.social #ICE people.com/ice-detains-...

I refuse to believe "cancelling somebody because his grandpa signed up to fight Hitler in a unit famously good at Hitler fighting" isn't an op.

Imagine the death toll if these two ran an operation together during the rebellion.

Gonna retrain the head of ICE? Anything besides abolish is support for the Gestapo. It isn't a gray area.

if there are pro-ICE and anti-ICE sides, these guys fall squarely in the former by every measure that counts. if they had power tomorrow, they’d reinstate the same ATD program we had, which is the main source of intel MAGA is using today to hunt down and arrest children.

NEW: You think disinformation is bad now? Wait until you hear about "AI swarms" and how they have the potential to upend democracy across the globe www.wired.com/story/ai-pow...

Only you can know your own heart, and the weight of your actions against your inaction. This kind of guilt is a manifestation of the knowledge that you haven’t done everything you can in service of a more just world

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from saying fuck ICE.

Learning US history didn't make me hate white people. It made me hate racists. I feel like if you've got some sort of personal shame, you haven't fully committed to destroying white supremacy.

Trade summary: Rangers get - MacKenzie Gore Nationals get - Gavin Fien, Alejandro Rosario, Abimelec Ortiz, Devin Fitz-Gerald, Yeremy Cabrera

Breaking; MacKenzie Gore traded to Rangers

Everybody matters in a bucket brigade, as long as you’re actually holding a bucket

This is why I love college sports. The Indiana marching band playing the LOTR Isengard theme on defense is cooler than anything you'll get on a stadium PA. Elevates the moment.

984 on my first try, not bad.

i did not know this game existed but i can already tell i'm gonna be tapping in daily. got 888 on my first try

It is well known that besides the US no gov in history has ever been oppressive which is why it is always relevant to call out historical transgressions in a moment where we are trying to unite against an oppressive gov! Slavery was bad, which is why the USA is uniquely evil among all history!

Imagine the death toll if these two ran an operation together during the rebellion.

it is increasingly obvious to me that there are quite a few americans (surprisingly diverse) that are unaware of the history of the Chinese Exclusion Act and/or Japanese internment

lol, they’re sending him around to talk about the economy and the federal occupation of the Twin Cities by armed masked goons, those things must be absolutely radioactive

Hey I don't go to hard on my Japanese-American ancestry but As the descendant of a JA man who, before Pearl, volunteered for the Navy, was turned away, and volunteered for the Army the next day because he saw how bad Imperial Japan was Go fuck yourself if you believe this

i like how this person thinks this is an own instead of the fact that Japanese-Americans believed in America more than the fucking idiots that interned them

This is the insignia of the 442 Infantry Regiment: one of the most well-decorated regiments of the US military, and almost entirely comprised of second-generation American soldiers of Japanese ancestry (Nisei)

Gonna go tell grandpa that getting drafted out of a camp and killing nazis to prove he's American was a dumb choice, he should have gone back to Japan like the fascist he was

Here in Minneapolis, hundreds of clergy from all over the country have been deployed into the streets to participate in ICE/DHS watch. The hail from a range of religious traditions, and have come from all over. This particular group is in a heavily immigrant neighborhood.

The sprayer is not masked and so should be fairly easy to ID.

please kill me

"You're not ready for how much the rest of the world hates Americans" I live here man I'm extremely used to the concept of hating Americans

Back in the early days of Trump 2 when ICE was first ramping up in LA they were approaching ERs and urgent cares with warrants signed by judges and someone on the legal team at one of the hospitals figured out that the judge name they had signed to the doc had died years ago. You can't retrain that

Can't go to the grocery store if you can't leave the house maybe one of these things is more pressing to the concept of freedom than the other in the short term

Deporting children with cancer. Using a 5-year-old as bait. Shooting moms. ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

every light on his dash is like

There’s going to be backlash for both SINNERS and ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. Instead of one or the other, may I offer a third option: “SINNERS or ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is overrated-“ “Nope! Swirly time! Into the toilet your head must go.” “But - gargle - ah there’s piss in here!”

F1 is a generational technical achievement in live action filmmaking. Speed Racer is a better racing movie.

Official poster for ‘SINNERS’ becoming the most-nominated film of all time at the Oscars. See the full nominees list: bit.ly/OscarNoms26

I'm just going to pretend that this is for Andor

i'm feeling a little uneasy about F1 getting a best picture nomination for two reasons. first, a quick look at the grid suggests to me that this is just the 6th of what will ultimately be a 70-film franchise. second, i thought it was fairly contrived that the patrol boat just happened to be there

He's only speaking like this because Frey and Walz have retreated and are hiding like scared wet bitches and throwing their people to the wolves. But the people aren't gonna stop. They're gonna keep protecting their city even when no one in power will. Is recall an option for MN voters?

Del Toro should win the Oscar for this scene alone

Wow, best supporting actor for the 19th year in a row
