If the bill passes, it will make ICE the nation’s largest jailer, with more funding for prison camps than the entire federal Bureau of Prisons. It would give ICE enough money to have more officers than the entire FBI.

Today is day 15 of a hunger strike by 6 JVP members here in Chicago in protest of the deliberate US-Israeli starvation of Gaza. So far neither @duckworth.senate.gov nor @durbin.senate.gov have agreed to even meet with them. Why won’t you meet with your constituents?

No, it is you who is having a Magnum for lunch

In three days of bombing, Israel has murdered nearly 1,000 Iranians. That is over 300 people per day. While continuing to carry out massacres in Gaza, dropping bombs & also directly gunning starving people down. Get this malignant cancer out of our region for the love of humanity

Nine years ago the godfather of Brexit, Lord Daniel Hannan, predicted life in Brexit Britain in June 2025. Roll the tape… (VO by @gavinesler.bsky.social. Part 2 below👇)

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

🚨🚨 #brexit anniversary: Office of Budget Responsibility predictions of £ 40 bn hit to public finances has proven correct according to research by top economist @johnspringford.bsky.social . www.thetimes.com/article/346e...

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

You’ll be too young to remember, but there was a time when you could wake up as many as three mornings in a row and not find the world had lost its fucking mind.

If you think non-violence is the truly right way, where are there trainings near you? Who’s holding them? How can you help them? Can you donate? Are you spreading contact info? Do you know how to find trainings in other places? White ppl have fetishized the fuck out of non-violence. 3/x

You do a GREAT disservice to those who developed and practice(d) it if you just act like it’s some simple decision. It is not. If you want ppl to participate in resisting fascism through non-violence, you had better be doing everything you can to make that training available. Don’t talk shit. 2/x

I’m just going to get this out now, since I know it’s coming, and I can just link to it. DO NOT FETISHIZE NON-VIOLENCE. It is a PRACTICE and a DISCIPLINE. The people who employed it successfully trained RIGOROUSLY. It’s not just a decision, because it goes against basic human instincts. 1/x

Thread. Our current group of liberal elites took the lessons of successful non-violent social movements and interpreted them into the "hitting is always wrong" lecture you give your 5 year old.

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

General chemistry point: if you think you have been exposed to ANYTHING acid OR alkali, the correct treatment is to flush with lots of cold water and SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION Neutralisation reactions release heat This is potentially dangerous and damaging. And the new chemical is likely harmful, too

LAPD eventually showed up and rescued ICE by attacking US citizens, ICE joined them in firing tear gas and pepper rounds at people. (🎥 @pplscitycouncil.bsky.social )

It was cruel enough that GFM closed Mona's account but even crueler is they made her jump through hoops for MONTHS while witholding her money her family needed to survive. Mona is real. She's wonderful. Her family is real. Her children are adorable. Please help if you can. www.paypal.me/Hijazi562

I read this piece and thought - can't hurt to have someone raising the salience of underinvestment in local government

So British DOGE's search for wasteful spending discovered that... councils need more money to update their IT systems? www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

When I receive a "Thank You" note, I send back a "Thank You" note in return for the courtesy. Eight years ago, I received a gift from someone who does the same thing. Please send help.

“They're coming through the doors like a conveyor belt... really small children with massive injuries.. bits of their bodies blown off... every day at least half [of my cases] were under the age of 11.. its barbaric" People defend this every day. x.com/saulstanifor...

Paris Saint-Germain supporters displayed a giant banner saying 'Stop genocide in Gaza' during the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday.

dystopian novels did not prepare me for the amount of stupidity at the end of the world

New: A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool to review Veterans Affairs contracts. But there was a slight hitch. It hallucinated the size of those deals. For example, it concluded that more than a thousand contracts were each worth $34M, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

there are decades where no posting happens, there are weeks where years of posting happens

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

Our politics has become deeply unserious. Flags and gimmicks and stupid video clips and social media clickbait and lies. With very little serious challenge to counter the nonsense and the dishonesty. The consequences for our country and our democracy are dire. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/robert-jen...

"It's not enough to just win an election..." The crux of right-wing grievance: A tantrum at the fact that being elevated to leader (in LT's case by a few party members) does not automatically sweep away every political disagreement and practical obstacle to the latest idiocy they deem a good idea.

The problem the UK and many developed nations now have is a gullible electorate, those parties and actors that have systematically wrecked the UK over the past few decades (through Austerity, #brexit etc.) spout utter shite and the gullible support them eastangliabylines.co.uk/politics/ref...

In my space fleet I'm going to establish the tradition that the XO of any ship is expected to make everyone's tea and coffee. Years after I'm dead Tartfleet will still guarantee you get your earl grey hot from a first officer who can be trusted to know exactly how you like it.

We’ve really all gotta be a lot more clear headed and open eyed about this. Joni Earnst’s belief system is IN THE MAJORITY in our federal leadership. “Accept Jesus or die” is our national policy. “Kill as many people as possible to trigger the apocalypse” IS THE PLAN.

We’ll never survive this if we dismiss these people as “crazy” or try to convince ourselves they can’t be serious or they can’t possibly believe this. Because they are deadly serious. They believe it intensely. And they are actively acting on those beliefs.

„A massage from my family & we are tired of moving with nowhere to go. Tired of hunger with nothing to eat. Tired of thirst with nothing to drink. Tired of bombs, tired of tanks, tired of guns. Tired of grief, tired of pain, tired of fear" _ Hana, mother in G*za www.paypal.me/MaryLindaDeF...

whenever I see a Tory shadow minister talking about how bad crime is I’m reminded that they got rid of 1/2m years of policing experience, 800 police stations, 600 courtrooms, 1000s of probation officers and added just 482 prison places What the f*** did they expect to happen?

This is going to be an absolute car crash, the Supreme Court verdict looks more absurd by the day www.thetimes.com/article/86fb...
