idk man, if you’re getting to the point where you’re accusing prosecutors, judges, and metro police of being the enemy, i am skeptical you have achieved the kind of consolidation you need for this kind of a project

Every fucking day so far feels like this.

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

You know, I can't think of a better way to improve morale in the ranks and foster confidence in our civilian leadership. /s

If we're going with san serif as the default, really need those periods in A.I.

Look, I didn't expect to experience the "you're in the classroom in nothing but your underwear" dream from a third-person perspective but I feel like that's what's happening at the UN right now.

Trump, pounding shoe: "We will bury ourselves!"

I am an anti-fascist. Through whatever means are necessary. What we once referred to as the Executive Branch, has now declared this to be a threat to their existence.

You see the dilemma: be a rubber stamp so to preserve the prospect that adverse rulings would be obeyed, or refuse to be a rubber stamp even just once and reveal just how illusory the Court’s power has always been. The Roberts Court brought this upon itself and our democracy is suffering for it.

The United States Supreme Court: Come for the corruption, stay for the human trafficking.

The law is not going to jump out the books and save us from people who are intent on destroying everything in their path and who are willing to kill us all in the process. Please understand this.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Blindingly obvious now for anyone that was still pretending otherwise: America is an Israeli puppet.

an easy disguise: all you’d need are some black masks

This is some real horseshit. If you want to know how bad it gets when sport stadiums go from staging centers to detainment camps look no further back in history than Chile 1973. ☠️ #la #abolishice

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

Hey hot take: Where is J. D. Vance right now? Who is he talking with? Have we actually invoked the 25th amendment, but not told anybody (including Trump) to avoid further panic?

just please remember, whatever the news says about LA after this, that this is *always* how it goes. Everything is extremely calm until the police actively escalate for no reason. It was true during all the BLM protests and it’s true now.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

For Dallas protesters: I'm on the Police Oversight Board. If you'd like to file a complaint against an officer for behaving unprofessionally or abusively, let me know and I'll connect you to the right folks. At the same time, if you'd like to commend an officer for being helpful, also let me know.

Picard sociology tip: Those who rise to power by embracing ignorance and fear will only make their people more ignorant and afraid.

This is how it's done. Observe the enemy, learn their methods, and counter them.

Fascism is not coming. Fascism is here. Whatever your abilities, they need to be directed against this regime. Now. Everything else can wait, because if we fail, there will be nothing to wait for.

This is all very stupid. Just remove Trump and let’s get on with it.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

So say we all.

Amazing how hard it is to write: “Police shoot at journalists.”

Last thing for today: domestic mil deployments are incredibly expensive and one of the most sig things Congress can do right now to reassert itself is to not fund the inevitable request for addtl approps that will be needed for this $134M+ deployment.

Brava!

Everyone got their Pride merch yet?

ALL States should immediately activate their National Guard with in-state orders to prevent the illegal usurpation of guard troops & their unconstitutional use by the corrupt Trump regime. If we fail to stand strong NOW, the future fight to protect the U.S. will be much, much harder…if not futile.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

If Newsom was any good he would use his control of the State National Guard and tell them to stand down.

You know, since we're going to already have a bunch of tanks, soldiers, and rockets in DC, and almost all the problematic people will be present, we should seize the opportunity and do something that is both necessary and good. General George Washington would approve.

This isn't actually funny at all; it's a window into Trump's worldview, because he absolutely expected any German official to be upset over the Nazis losing. Because if Trump were German, he would be. Because things like "they were fucking Nazis" are way less important to him than "on my team"

The basic concept of law enforcement is to make society safer. The concept is as old as laws themselves. ICE isn’t making society safer. ICE is creating dangerous situations and risking full blown riots. That’s the opposite of making society safer. It needs to stop before a city burns.

seriously, I know this is a crazy radical idea in these extremely normal times but what if democrats stopped voting for trump nominees
