In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Doesn't mean I'm quitting all social media period, but decided to switch back to my trusty ol @lightphone.bsky.social for a while. Feeling too mentally attached to scrolling. I do love this device. #lightphone #dumbphone #mentalhealth #doomscrolling #lightscroll

This shouldn’t be controversial but I’m against a police state abducting and deporting men they claim are bad dudes not because I can find a few I don’t know much about who I can claim are actually good dudes. I don’t care what kind of dude. My problem is with police state abductions.

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

Only two shows left for the ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, STUNNING, GORGEOUS, MOVING, JOYFUL live music/theater/film show Cloud Nebula. Deeply beautiful and lovingly crafted piece. #theatre #performance #baltimore #liveperfomance #CloudNebula #art #music #film @voxel.org

One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

This

This country is so f*ckin crooked.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but fascism often begins with the slow erosion of civil liberties and the rise of authoritarianism under the guise of ‘security measures’.

It's weird when you go to the store and only walk out with toilet paper bc every motherf*cker in there is like "bro is literally about to take a sh*t."

I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year

Sanders: I’m going to be going with my good friend Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who, as everybody knows, has been an inspiration to young people all over this country. She’s a real fighter, she’s doing a great job in the House, and it’s an honor to be hitting the road with her.

This is a very real concern.

Rohr's new book, "The Tears of Things." Get ready for a bunch of page pics. @cacradicalgrace This section doesn't only speak generally to a human and institutional tendency, but... (1/2) #richardrohr #rohr #thetearsofthings #spirituality #religion #catholic #christianity

#Severance is so good it's stupid. What a great episode!

Generally speaking I dont support shutdowns. The Dems are the only party that believes in governance. But....it is past time for DRAMATIC shit stirring. The Dems need new leadership.

Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian American student at Columbia University and a US permanent resident, has been illegally detained by ICE for organizing against the US-supported genocide in Palestine. We demand Mahmoud's immediate release! www.dsausa.org/statements/o...

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

Don’t forget about tomorrow’s Take Down Tesla protests happening across the country! Since we launched the Elon boycott, Tesla’s stock has plummeted from over $400 to $262. Let’s keep the momentum going!

Anyone having difficulty with the #Hulu stream of the #Oscars ???

Watched Cruel Jaws yesterday for the first time. I really need that documentary about it, Twilight Jaws, to come out. My wife and I were just absolutely blown away specifically by how many unnecessary zooms there were. Just amazing stuff. #film #movies #crueljaws #jaws #sharks #badmovies

I f*cking despise John Bolton. But....yup.

I'm an anti-war fella. I want the war to end. But Trump wants #Zelensky to give up everything that was taken for peace. That is not the way. I am so f*ckin embarrassed to be an American.

Republicans about to be afraid of Farmer Browngioni.

Are we really just going to let #Musk eventually own every major infrastructure innovation in this country? We are gonna wake up in 20 years with him having monopolies across multiple sectors and we will be powerless to do anything bc it'll be so grafted in. FUCK.

Do you get it yet?

LEGEND. RIP.

Baltimore moves closer to creating consumer protection agency

"The bottom line is that pushing legislative strategies to attack or block Musk’s wealth isn’t just healthy for our democracy, it also makes for smart politics," writes @sunjeevbery.bsky.social.

I was hoping this was fake. The move from low-key American style oligarchy to full on Russian style oligarchy has been so fast and so infuriating. Guess I have to cancel my @washingtonpost.com subscription. I hate to hurt the good journalists there but only $ speaks to these people.
