These idiots have no idea that the coast north of San Francisco is extremely rural and isolated. I have a better idea, put all the wackos in Shasta County and let them do Shasta County. This is the no masks unless you are ICE crowd.

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

The incident is marks the third straight day that federal agents have deployed tear gas against Chicagoans and the seventh time in 22 days. Video from a photographer for the @chicagotribune.com:

@alt-irs.altgov.info so when do we stop paying federal taxes to save our democracy?

Portland PD threatens ICE with arrest! More. Of. This. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #USDemocracy #Pinks

Meanwhile, our enemies are stockpiling drones and other weapons that will render the manly American warfighter about as useless as tits on a bull. Nothing good about that.

Of course 🤡.

#Antifa will not jump out of the back of a Penske rental truck dressed in uniform. #Antifa is everywhere around you in the determined faces of normal people. MAGA just inadvertently rebirthed the warriors of WWII, of the Civil Rights movement, of the American Dream. ANTIFA will defeat the Empire.

cato institute analysis of murders by political ideology since 1975, excluding 9/11

This is why they’re deleting studies

Interesting evolution of the Kirk shooter story with Governor Cox stating Robinson had a trans girlfriend. Imagine being a gay kid growing up in a MAGA family? This is why you lead with love, not hate. The GOP will continue to target and marginalize the "other," now probably more than ever.

@bsky.app got a spanking from Governor Cox: “Discord, 4chan, Twitter, Bluesky—these things are really hacking our brains and hijacking our agency." I guess a bunch of liberals in one place is pretty scary. And I do get a lot of cat posts in my feed, which as a dog person is unsettling.

Get it right bluesky peeps.

There is a lack of understanding of discipline here that any school administrator could see right through. If the approach is to be the Enforcer, when the Enforcer isn't there, the behavior problems will return. Trump will state "Mission Accomplished," move on, and nothing will have changed.

Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next

More of this form of resistance. Blue states and Blue cities need to flex their power, not through the courts, but through direct command.

Good night, friends Truth to power - right on the windows riddled w/ bullets from a shooter poisoned by anti-vaccine lies. Fuck RFKJ (However, from a public health standpoint, we strongly advise against anyone fucking 🧠🪱) ✨Huge respect for the courage it took to put up that sign. Absolute legend❤️‍🔥✊

Munger... contributed more than $158,000 to socially conservative causes over the last 25 years, according to federal tax filings — including to organizations that oppose abortion rights and promote so-called crisis pregnancy centers, and to Christian groups whose leaders have opposed LGBTQ+ rights.

This is a year old, but maybe more powerful because of that. Very clear explanation of threats to democracy from @dziblatt.bsky.social .

@bsky.app why do so many cat posts appear in my feed? I am not a big cat fan, but they always decide to sit in my lap to spite me. Your algorithm is basically behaving like a cat sitting in my lap. Can I get dog posts instead of cat posts? Am I missing a toggle setting somewhere?

Perhaps the salvation of American Democracy lies with the power of states. Blue State governors should be testing the extent of their power at every opportunity, and not just in the courts.

Some inspiration just for you, from James Talarico

Father of 3 marines who was taken and beaten by ICE GOONS was released on bail yesterday. Press conference in OC today

100% we are taught to live in a binary world. (Remember learning about the platypus?) However, the comments here bring up a good point about injustice. One result of extremism is the questioning of truth and the loss of a moral compass. Reread this (actually) with an eye on what defines injustice:

The White Power hand sign being thrown tells me all I need to know. www.adl.org/resources/ha...

📢 @teslatakedown.com 🚨 ALL HANDS ON DECK in LA We're calling on ALL SoCal crews to come together at the newly opened TESLA DINER this weekend. Elon thinks he can destroy democracy, take innocent lives, and celebrate with a milkshake? We say HELL NO ✊ 📍 actionnetwork.org/events/tesla...

Columbia is worthless. Students and faculty should just walk out. There's no more antisemitism there than any other sort of -ism. Unbelievable that this is happening. Trump is a TACO, but Columbia is making him look like he knows what he's doing.

Disgraceful.

MAGA Republicans booed President Biden and called him a liar for exposing their plans to cut Social Security and Medicare. Biden was right.

I think this means Dems need to broaden their appeal (more populist?) but I'd like to hear the pro takes on this article. Anyone? "In the end, Democrats alienated voters whose longtime support they might have taken for granted."

@governor.ca.gov @schiff.senate.gov when is California going to step in and stop this nonsense?

Democrats Must Learn This Lesson

Showing stock test footage of a bunker buster to prove your mission was successful is like posting a picture of yourself from 10 years ago on Tinder.

Protect trans kids. "You can't say, 'You can't play.'" CIF was making progress on finding reasonable solutions...

We need to move from protests to targeted direct action (think Tesla Takedown). When the bottom line is affected, people will take notice, just like the Civil Rights boycotts. The 3.5% rule is being tossed around, but this podcast with the researcher who developed it is a must listen for all rebels.

How far will the American public allow Trump to go?

If anyone needs a reminder of what January 6th looked like:

LA protesters are getting violent and causing damage! Oh wait...

Last week, Ehud Olmert, a former Prime Minister of Israel, publicly denounced his successor, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the war that he has been waging in Gaza. In a new Q. & A. with @ichotiner.bsky.social, Olmert elaborates on his criticisms. nyer.cm/CxuYPA8

Always good to remember this one when you need a little fire to keep going...

"This is a pattern. If one law firm capitulates, Trump goes after more. If one university, tech billionaire, media company capitulates, he goes after more. If we don't fight him now, when he’s only gone after one legal resident, then we can't act surprised when he ultimately goes after Americans."

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."
