I hope the Italian authorities see this because these cunts are coming your way. I actually think this shows how fucking incompetent they are rather than some massive conspiracy.

Fucking hell. Yes this is real. www.laprensa.com.ec/agentes-de-i...

And this is why I worried about having ICE team as security detail in Italy. Because they can do a bunch of fuck up like this.

Google DeepMind staffers are pressing leadership on their plans to safeguard the 3,000-person unit from ICE agents. "As we have seen, government agency tactics can change and escalate quite rapidly. With offices in many metro areas across the US, are we prepared?" Scoop from @mzeff.bsky.social

Firearms instructor warns GOP will lose pro-gun voters over Trump’s crackdown

TikTok in the US has been filled with errors all day, and appears to be disconnected from the global TikTok platform.

Waltz: "Denmark has ignored Greenland from a defense standpoint and they have ignored the Greenlandic native iniut people ... if you get a cancer diagnosis in Greenland right now, it's darn near a death sentence. Denmark has not invested in the way it should've over the years."

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...

He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it. Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.

pleading with the richest man in the world for him to let you continue covering international news is so fucking grim

Hypocrisy is alive and well in the criminally insane world of the Repugnican Nazi Party.

I spent the most formative years of my political life reading headlines like this seemingly every week.

When Black people were murdered by cops, the victims were vilified. To many, it was a "Black problem". In less than 2 weeks, Law enforcement murdered 2 White U.S citizens. They too were vilified. Do y'all get it now? We told you. Everybody's Black. #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy
