Decades of dehumanizing copaganda have primed people to see a Black man allegedly fleeing law enforcement as deserving of death, as expendable. ICE has the same script writers now trying the same tactics. The only way to challenge their narrative is to challenge all of it, every time:

once again saying: Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

Any media reporting on this should be very clear: a "threat to public safety" occurs when an ICE agent discharges four shots into traffic on a quiet village street, not knowing who was in the car. It does not occur when a lawful immigrant travels in his car on the way to work.

Residents in Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, and Pennsylvania will be most directly impacted if the ICE detention center is opened, but anyone concerned w/ the environmental, infrastructure, and health impacts can and should submit a public comment. nokingsnocamps.com

Merely abolishing ICE is the moderate, restrained position. The moral position is prosecutions, a truth commission, and fundamental constitutional reform so a rogue court run by extremists can never again approve secret police death saques occupying our cities.

"Israel may be a rogue state but it is a rogue state made entirely in the western elite’s image. The West’s only real concern is in ensuring its own publics don’t realise, as they watch a genocidal state disappear the Palestinians, that they are looking into the mirror." #Palestine #USPol #EMEA

As ICE captures spike across the US, re-upping this story about Habeas Flight Watch, an activist-built tool to help you know when an ICE flight is headed to your city. Can help legal teams/community members triage habeas filings, flight observations, etc. gillianbrockell.com/habeas-fligh...

Several nuggets in here, among them, "I have not seen evidence that groups are countermobilizing to meet and disrupt [white nationalists] ... This refusal by liberals and moderates to confront and discipline these violent forces is also a form of political immaturity. " #USPol #America250

God DAMN lmao. Feminism most vindicated social movement in history?

Oh? “Troy Jackson, in a heated disagreement, struck a female colleague with a bottle he threw at her. There are many witnesses, and it appears this is a widespread open secret within Maine politics and not an isolated incident.” townhall.com/tipsheet/amy...

JUST IN: Over 1,200 former DOJ employees just signed a letter urging the Senate to REJECT Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General.

Seems like Platner is out. “Troy Jackson, a 5th gen logger with deep working-class roots, has been endorsed in the gov race by the AFL & Bernie Sanders and would probably be the easiest replacement for Platner supporters to accept. Shenna Bellows…also [has] many liberal supporters.” #Maine #Democrat

You know what's crazy is this video had a whole section about "Hmmm, do news editors have squishy feelings about farmers because of Nepo Baby Solidarity?" but then I cut it bc it was too long & kinda mean. It seems folks have smelt what I was cooking anyway 🤔

the fundamental rule of politics is "no good deed goes unpunished" this is why professional civil servants exist, and why populists and fascists hate them so much

"Consider skipping one small purchase: Skip the coffee. Skip the smoothie. Skip the bottle of water you grab after the gym. 🚨🚨 Instead, give $5 to Gaza🚨🚨 When thousands of people make the same choice, the same conscious decision, toward the same effort, it becomes something extraordinary" #Gaza #TSP

"Palestinians are starting to think that the whole world has turned its back on them. This sentiment reflects what so many families in #Gaza feel today.Their suffering is no fault of their own. They are trapped in a reality they cannot control - enduring hunger,deprivation,repeated airstrikes" #TSP

This is another reminder that extreme heat affects more than just our air temperatures. The impacts are also being felt across terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Reports of a fish kill nearby DC in the Potomac with water temperatures over 90°F (32°C)...

O the schadenfreude

Two and a half centuries after establishing a govt by and for “we the people,” the country is still fighting over who gets to be considered part of "we" If the US wants something to celebrate this 4th of July, it has 250 years of broken promises it should fulfill www.thenation.com/article/soci...

jesus i just remembered they want to set off 850,000 fireworks tonight

🇺🇸 Fox News, which is considered a media outlet that is a strong supporter of Trump, decided to publish his sons' criminal scheme in crypto trading.

The Trump administration’s fireworks show will likely produce unhealthy levels of pollution at the National Mall and the surrounding area. To fund the extravagance, Trump is using $1.6 million in revenue from entry fees to national parks—five times more than what’s usually spent on the show.

"The Declaration’s significance extends far beyond the aims of the American Revolution or an expression of American nationalism," writes Robin D.G. Kelley in Issue No. 11. hammerandhope.org/article/robi...

I missed this from Hillary Clinton when it came out but a comment just sent me to it. It's amazing how decades of accumulated political baggage can so transform a young, talented, defiant, idealist into what this is. Reading it on 4th of July, 'no alternative' bites most. www.ft.com/content/2472...

These are the people I worry about. Because they would certainly destroy artifacts if allowed inside the museum. It's a terrorist group.

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

Appreciate this 🧵 from @FarmToTaber on YouTube about what it really takes to win an election as a regular person/leftist.

Just here to post this again like I do every year, not only because Douglass was one of the founding philosophers of American liberty but because I am so moved by the kids Frederick Douglass’ descendants deliver “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July”

This is a heinous argument that Republicans in Congress and the White House will embrace to justify further health cuts that aren’t just harmful, but will get people killed.

This Mamdani speech is brilliant: “America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin.”
