in a lot of ways the current republican government is just the worst, extractive red state governance taken national. total hostility to public goods, total indifference to long-term investment, and a monomaniacal interest in using the state to enrich private benefactors

If you are a person who spends all day talking about how Democrats never do anything, here is a thing!

Peter Thiel, asking for his July horoscope.

"Geroni didn’t mention Tracey’s alleged assault of a teen girl that led to her arrest during his public plea, instead claiming the entire situation was being taken out of context." Will there be any sort of HABEAS CORPUS or is America just condemning people without a trial now?

Tired of ICE mercenaries terrorizing your community? Afraid that they're going to murder yet another person—perhaps one of your neighbors? Find out where they sleep. Go there and make sure they cannot sleep. It's easy enough. Here's how people did it in Minnesota: crimethinc.com/noisedemos

As Trump increases his threats to Americans and our rights, it's important not just to be aware of tendency to self-censor on social media due to the political climate, but actively work to ensure you don't internalize that censorship.

Mamdani is great and Mike Johnson worries miniature versions would simply be even cuter.

House passes 'no light, none saved' bill to sink America into endless night.

“The United States can inflict devastating damage on Iran, but it cannot eliminate Tehran’s ability to disrupt shipping” through the Strait of Hormuz, Ali Vaez writes. “Iran can impose severe economic costs by choking the waterway, but it cannot compel Washington to accept its terms.”

On Monday, Joan Sebastian Guerrero was shot and killed by ICE agents in Biddeford, Maine. Reports say Guerrero was authorized to legally work in the US and not even ICE's target. @annayeo.bsky.social was on the ground Tuesday in Biddeford and spoke with locals—including one man who knew Guerrero.

Will Trump cancel the midterms in his Thursday speech, or merely announce a plan to subvert them by force using ICE?

I heard Trump is giving a speech Thursday.

Where you going with this IKEA boy?

What improved ICE performance looks like:

Some people believe it's only 'real' fascism... if it's too late to fight back.

ICE is immoral. Trump's immigration policies are extremist and unnecessary. I'm worried this will get out of hand, I'm worried for everyone's safety. Defend yourself and your community, and stay safe.

REP. @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social: “They don’t want body cameras, they don’t want the 🇺🇸 people to see up close & personal the death & destruction. If there was body cam footage of these 2 incidents the level of outrage across 🇺🇸 would be exponentially higher.”

“Simply throwing more money at an out-of-control military operation is not strategy. It’s a recipe for a forever war.” - Sen Tammy Duckworth

Oh come on! You gotta give fascist warmongers more money after they fuck up entirely! What, are you anti-American??

He means they don't comply with his whims. Anyone who disobeys the fascist party line is a deviant, wrong, a liar.

Reminds me of my favorite Dead Kennedy's Song

We have to stand up to the organized crime of fascism.

If Trump tries to overturn legitimate elections, you're going to see another Jan 6th - from people who have real facts behind them.

If they take away the vote, take away their life

He's heating up!

If Trump declares duly elected officials illegitimate, we have to fight like hell or we're not going to have a country anymore. Party at the White House, it's going to be wild!

Profits over safety.

HAPPENING NOW in MONUMENT SQUARE Portland demands an end to ICE terror and the whole system that funds it! NO MORE ICE KILLINGS!!

"maximum lethality, not tepid legality" - Pete Hegseth

roberts et al have a mental model of racism as being defined entirely by the most atavistic mania of the jim crow south. if it isn’t that, if it wears suits and ties and speaks the language of national security and executive authority, then it not only doesn’t count, *it’s not racism*

America is led by Nazis

If Trump declares duly elected officials illegitimate, we have to fight like hell or we're not going to have a country anymore. Party at the White House, it's going to be wild!

We are the guardian of the Strait of Hormuz ‘President Trump is absolutely right. Whoever provides secure & safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated for this service. Iran has always been the GUARDIAN of the Strait of Hormuz & will remain so FOREVER.

Trump is the threat.
