Martinez ends her testimony with this: "If there's not justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."

Framers of the Constitution collectively rolling over in their graves.

He’s doing this so that he has a less embarrassing case for why his name should be attached to it.

This whole statement from Portland Mayor Wilson is excellent. This is the sort of language I expect from leaders at this time.

Great starter pack

This is big business. The goal is to enrich his wealthy friends AND has ZERO to do with keeping America safe. A side benefit for Trump is that this cruelty makes him feel like a strong man when in reality, these acts make America look so weak. The Trump admin is Facist. #ProudBlue #OneV1 #Pinks

More Chicago

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

pizzagate and qanon were not onto something, they were orchestrated by pedophiles to make accusing people of pedophilia make you look insane so that they could continue doing pedophile shit. fucking christ

I remember a college professor of mine going on a rant about how the world was owned and ruined by “five old white men on yachts” And I remember thinking, well, it’s probably more that people don’t examine their own actions, it’s not like a couple of people control the world But you know what

Saving this nursingclio.bsky.social "Protests" series here for a new course on medical activism. Such a treasure trove.

Useless party

I know it's super cold here in Pennsylvania right now, but I didn't know it was so cold that hell has frozen over.

This is also extremely embarrassing for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, who needs to resign as minority House leader.

The auditor of the state of Ohio, who is running to be the state's next attorney general, wrote an oped this morning that the Columbus Dispatch published on how Renee Good is to blame for her death. The subheadline alone is already chilling. www.dispatch.com/story/opinio...

Important thread with examples showing that this country has been teetering on the brink of fascism for a long time. Notice the percent of American adults that thought Nixon had been treated unfairly even after he resigned in disgrace: 30%. It's about the same percentage as the die-hard Trump cult.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

Protectors, not protestors.

Ding. Ding. Ding.

More this.

Ron Johnson is a Russian asset

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

This is terrorism against all of us. We condemn death squads and nameless faceless thugs in every other country. We condemn it here. But our opposition leadership is severely failing us all.

I need someone to explain to me, like I'm five, why no state or local law enforcement/prosecutors are stopping this rampant crime. I recognize that it isn't magic wand simple, but there has to be a means of ending this SS terrorism. Also, why aren't state & local officials explaining this publicly?

The paramilitary continues to find new vectors of evil. There are many food pantries here but this specific one is www.tcfoodjustice.org/donate if you wish to donate.

Could a Democrat, any Democrat, release a statement actually thanking the people that have been out there doing the fucking work instead of this constant scolding tone for the love of God

Part of an important thread. Please read.

In a sign of how explosive ICE knew this secret memo would be, one whistleblower says he was only allowed to read the memo and was barred from taking written notes, and warned that employees had been punished for disagreeing. At least one ICE instructor resigned rather than teach the illegal memo!

In a humane society children are not illegal.

Posting this the same day that several photos and videos of children being abducted by ICE in the state you represent have been posted is beyond insulting.

Yes and meanwhile we are currently experiencing an ACTUAL free speech crisis with Democrats pushing the most agressive mass censorship and surveillance laws we’ve seen in our lifetimes and these grifters are nowhere to be found.

Watch that. And then tell me how we replace Schumer with her

“A bunch of vague statements of principle, some outright nonsense, and a few absolutely terrible ideas.” www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-heal...

It’s amazing that supposedly intelligent academics, who are supposedly astute in their analysis of the wokeness of contemporary universities, are so ignorant of the ideological nature of free speech proponents & the wider social implications. Every time they show themselves to be profoundly stupid.

I keep thinking about the toxic, pervasive mythology of "rugged individualism" as a driving force in American culture, and how the collective efforts in the Twin Cities right now are proof that the only way through hard times is together, as a community.

“That’s slavery.” Civil Rights lawyer @oliverma2026.bsky.social (running for CA Lt. Gov.) reminds us ICE detainees work in for-profit prisons for $1/day just to pay for phone calls to their families. Cruelty is big business. P.S. @CoreCivic’s new CEO’s last name is “Swindle” — beyond parody

Not the Warsaw Ghetto in 1939, just a neighborhood in Minnesota in 2026. Anguished cries of people warning their neighbors about the presence of ICE.

It's making a lot of sense how he could fumble a casino. Multiple times.

Terror is essential to Miller's project. It's designed to dissuade us from showing solidarity with the immigrants getting removed. Stand in the way of ethnic cleansing and you risk violence yourself. (h/t @whstancil.bsky.social and @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com) newrepublic.com/article/2053...

They flash bangers and tear gassed a 6 month old. They absolutely will raid a school bus.

“ICE agents, get out now because historically, this ends with you hanging from a lamppost and your body paraded through the streets.” - the …we rate dogs guy

It's striking that the federal line is now simply that there is no justifiable or legal means of resistance, defense, or protest, against ICE period. That seems to me like a change/escalation (though I know it's not unprecedented). Either assist ICE or comply with them, or be attacked and slandered.

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

NEWSMAX host Carl Higbie: “This 6 month old who unfortunately got tear gassed by ICE… That sucks 🤷🏼 , but why was a 6 month old near tear gas in the first place?” The live there Carl, you soulless puppet

Gavin Newsom has never had a homeless, a working unhoused, or an affordable housing advocate on his podcast despite governing California. So yeah I think it’s weird that he’s entertained & platformed multiple fascists while grinning, nodding & relenting to their easily defeatable talking points.
