I wish I was in the 4%. I wish the 36% didn’t live here.

Happy Thanksgiving from the tyrannical, theocratic kleptocratic, fascistic joke formerly known as the United States of America! Love, Peter Skandalakis

🚨Teenager goes to lunch in the middle of his school day, gets stopped by ICE, tells ICE he is an American citizen and ICE responds with, “I don’t care.” He was arrested and taken to Portland’s detention center. He was later released. 1/2

I’m too old for the news anymore apparently

Opens up bsky to check the news... I have regrets.

This is tyranny any way you slice it. American citizens will be deprived of their 4th Amendment Constitutional rights, without question. Human beings will be deprived of human rights by our government. This needs to be resisted at every level, by all citizens.

So I guess it’s true Jay Jacobs is going to absolutely goatf*ck 2 consecutive election cycles on Long Island, one during a national blue wave, and he’s going to keep his job?

Please read and realize what has been broken does not go back together. Best case scenario: we now live in a country where federal law will be enforced (or not) in 180 degree opposite ways every time the White House changes hands.

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

How is it that Jay Jacobs is still employed?

Has Jay Jacobs resigned yet, Day 2

Where are we on Jay Jacobs resigning?

Jay Jacobs, get out. Today. We'll pack your stuff for you.

Bernie Madoff has endorsed Andrew Cuomo.

The United States of America 2025: The President is denying he’s a Nazi. Pro-tip: if it’s plausible enough that the President of the United States of America could be a Nazi that he has to publicly deny it, we have already lost the plot.

An authoritarian... stifles dissent/speech persecutes opponents bypasses legislature uses military domestically defies courts declares false emergencies vilifies groups controls info/media controls universities creates cult of personality uses power for profit manipulates law to stay in power

NEW: How ICE mistakenly deported Alejandro Juarez to Mexico. Alejandro was detained in NYC, put on the wrong ICE plane and sent to Mexico. He never saw a judge, no deportation order - a likely violation of law. W/ @haleaziz.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/n...

Tyranny. And people just walk by. We are living an object lesson in how the Holocaust happened.

Trump's America

Miller is telling on himself here. If what ICE is doing is legal, then why would they need federal immunity? He's more or less admitting he understands it's not legal.

Remember the Schutzstaffel (ICE) and Gestapo (Border Patrol) are the ones wearing masks.

This is very good

Hero

The Trump era in a single frame.

More than 90% of American citizens' economic interests and protection under the law are tied much more closely to undocumented immigrants than they are to the oligarchic ruling class. This fact is so terrifying to many who realize it, it forces their fragile psyches to believe the lies of the GOP.

We're descending into full-on fascism so quickly it's disorienting.

This is how you fucking do it

Being American has nothing to do with how many generations your family has lived here, or what color your skin is, or where you were born. It is a shared ideal of freedom and democracy. There are a lot of people here who are decidedly un-American, but they're not the ones being rounded up by ICE.

Fuck ICE Fuck DJT

This was always the plan. Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.

New York must demand – masks off!

I'm guessing video of a guy accepting a $50,000 bag of cash should be something that makes the NY State Dept of Finance & Taxation check to see if said guy declared it on his state income tax return, even if the IRS is too compromised to investigate. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

I don't ever want to hear "this is not who we are" again. The America most of us were born in and grew up in is over, it's finished. The fascists won this round. The Constitution is no longer valid. Recognize that fact. Grieve the loss. Come back ready to fight for something new and better.

Real talk. We have to recognize and then grieve the death of our Constitutional government before we can move on and do whatever it is we have to do to make a path forward. Take the time to do that and come back ready. We need you.

Remember when we had Presidents who could go 16 hours without violating the Constitution of the United States? That was nice.

Power is STILL derived from the consent of the governed. "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"- Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence You know, in case there's anyone out there who needs to hear this tonight.

Obama: We have to recognize that on both sides there are people who are extremists  But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the government behind extremist views.

Obama: So we have to extend to people during their period of mourning We can also at the same time say I disagree with the idea that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a mistake I can disagree with the suggestion that my wife or Justice Jackson does not have adequate brain processing power.

The leopards don't even have to work to eat the faces anymore, the faces just jump right into their mouths.

They want you to believe the exact opposite is true
