Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

Today would be a good day for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to step aside as Minority Leader. cc @jayapal.house.gov @ocasio-cortez.house.gov @robertgarcia.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov @frost.house.gov @friedman.house.gov

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Repeat after me - the institutions of this economy depend on the institutions of this democracy, among which is the rule of law

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social Grow a spine FFS!!! You have the power of the purse and you waste it away EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Stop playing by rules no one else is using. WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH?!

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

I really appreciate @donlemonofficial.bsky.social’s continued ability to keep his cool and not give a fuck while just trying to do what he does best

This film was released in 2013 using news clips and a narration of excerpts of the the book "Death of the Liberal Class". Still very relevant, especially the section towards the end on resistance. vimeo.com/59002146?fl=...

Thank you Andreas Ulbricht wherever you are !!

Fuck Kavanaugh. What a terrorist goon squad he's enabled. And you know he's down with it. He should never have been confirmed.

As we await the release of Supreme Court opinions, I want to remind everyone just how much Democracy Docket is tracking: Active Voting Rights Cases: 170 Active Redistricting Cases: 47 Active Anti-Voting Cases: 90 Active Pro-Voting Cases: 76 Active DOJ Lawsuits: 26 Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Remember in the movie Indiana Jones, when the Nazi is going person to person asking for "papers please"? This is that in real life. Harrison Ford punched a Nazis in the face for this shit.

Maybe I'm a dreamer...

Here's an update from the post I shared a few days back. The 21 year old youngster who protesting peacefully & holding a speaker and was shot in the face by #ICE point blank has been permanently blinded in 1 eye! Please share this story widely!

Again NOT normal law enforcement or immigration enforcement behavior. No human should be treated this way. These men, maiming fellow citizens need to be stopped. People who know them should make their lives very hard...name/shame/blame. Make their lives uncomfortable.

I mean watching this, it's basically a carjacking carried out by a masked armed cartel, if you said it was anywhere other than the US. No one should be treated this way. And meanwhile DHS shares footage like this proudly as part of their MAGA crackdown festish content. #fuckice #ICEisaCartel

so basically DHS has tweeted ICE's Rules of Engagement and declared the city of Minneapolis a free fire zone

Exactly. These systems we are witnessing impacting everyone now have been harming POC since our country's founding. We are a only a nation of 60 years old when you start counting from when black citizens earned the right to vote in 1965.

What are we reading right now to stay sane everyone?

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Hannity has a Fox reporter in Minneapolis talk to a random protester walking through the city who goes on to spit bars for 2 minutes

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

US Authoritarian Regime Executes Unarmed Civilian as Ruler Grows More Erratic, Isolated What if we wrote about events in Trump’s America in the way that Western media describe African and Middle Eastern countries? From @premthakker.bsky.social. Read it here: zeteo.com/p/trump-us-r...

What if we covered Trump’s America the way Western media cover “authoritarian regimes” abroad? @premthakker.bsky.social reports on an unarmed civilian killed by state agents — and the propaganda campaign that followed. Read the full story: zeteo.com/p/trump-us-r...

I would like to see our leadership discuss these actions in House and Senate and others in State Government. We cannot wait for midterms or legal proceedings as the only way to fix things and weaken the gains of this fascist movement. @colorado.gov @bennet.senate.gov @joeneguse.bsky.social

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

Hi there, Steve Grove is the publisher of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. I don't know how this rumor started, but we have no reliable source for the killer's name or face. Any picture purporting to show the man's face is AI, and shouldn't be shared without context.

Sometime around late September people began talking about it. It has only grown since then. This month Blackout the System began to take hold. A national call to boycott Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

No Kings was massive & meaningful - but it isn’t the end. Join movement leaders & fellow local activists after the big day to celebrate what we accomplished & learn about what’s next. Let’s keep the momentum going! www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Don’t be a Dick-Tator

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

🗣️THIS is the message!! Brava, Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social!!

Please listen and share!

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Wtf are we doing letting this guy and his idiot brigade destroy us by literally passing rules that will kill our children

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.
