Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.

No votes on ANYTHING untill we vote on the War Powers Resolution.

A 65 year old legally blind and disabled woman says she has unintentionally lost 28 pounds because she can’t afford enough food under the Trump administration. “Like the previous caller said, the end is coming near, and it couldn’t be any more true than for me.” Heartbreaking

Rep. Jonathan Jackson confirms that Mike Johnson rejected a request to have a tribute for his father Jesse Jackson in the US Capitol

“Think about all the energy it takes to sustain life! We’re building an entirely different reality, one in which you won’t need to spend 20 years to get smart.”

You are almost certainly not aware of the full extent of what the government is doing in Minneapolis, and what it portends for all of us if they succeed. lnk.thebulwark.com/46kVMuT

Why are folks not asking more questions about this FBI complaint in the Epstein Files? www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Trump Suffers Setback Unrelated To Child Rape

Kobe Bryant Mural Includes Graffitied Footnote About Eagle, Colorado

Bolsonaro in prison, Yeon sentenced to prison, Andrew arrested on his birthday...and America still holding on to a 34 count felon as President.

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they don’t understand that bad things can happen.

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

MAHA: Eating a giant steak cooked in butter alongside beef tallow fries and washing it down with coffee spiked with butter Not MAHA: Clean air, clean water, health insurance, vaccines, disease monitoring, scientific research, food assistance, food safety, bike lanes

That’s Brett Ratner there on the right.

I hope folks grasp the fascistic resentment underpinning this shit, and the fact that there is nothing these AI robber barons would like more than to automate human creativity because they resent it and wish to devalue, own, and control it and us.

JD Vance flew all the way to Italy to get booed! Donald Trump is too cowardly to fly to California and receive the same. One’s too dumb to realize how he’d be received. the other is too fragile.

So much of GOP conspiracy land is simply not understanding how counting works. No one is ever “ahead” or “behind” until the counting is over.

Wasn’t Trump going to end the Russian war against Ukraine in the first 24hrs of his 2nd term?! Instead he sends a uniquely unqualified envoy for optics of working on a peace deal, but in reality has just been dragging their feet for over a year to allow Russia to continually escalate their killing.

This needs to be at the top of every story about the ICE body-cam thing. They already have body cameras.

Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

making tulsi gabbard DNI is itself a watergate level scandal

Tonight other dumb napkin cartoon…

Yes. There is so much pedo stuff in the Epstein files… But there’s also so many more domestic and geopolitical scandals to be uncovered… for instance, all his conversations with Steve Bannon re: Mueller report, China, Russia, etc… perhaps @andersoncooper360.bsky.social would want to revisit this.

Every time I see someone like Abbott choose self-inflicted decline, I think of this quote from Pedro Sanchez: "Spain needs to choose between being an open and prosperous country or a closed-off, poor country. It’s as simple as that." www.theguardian.com/world/2024/o...

This new ICE Recruiting ad goes hard. Could make another 100 of these without amount of content available showing DHS/ICE stomping on constitutional rights.

“After their humans were disappeared by ICE”

We are now 42 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files

cover of The Economist this week

And they say protesters are paid…

This is a very powerful video from comedian Josh Johnson. Not just because what he says that's meaningful. But because it shows an emerging trend that high profile people have finally started speaking up, despite concerns it might alienate their followers. It is time to choose sides.

A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor. ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.

We’re just not a free country. Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

They are ashamed of themselves… As they fuckin should be.

Hopefully Bruce can be an exemplar to a younger generation of artists/celebrities on how to use their platforms against fascism. 👏

THIS is the last straw!!!

Wow. The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.

if you're looking to learn about what are some of the lowest-hanging fruits in terms of local elections in places that directly help ICE, this is for you:

Don’t be fooled, the administration is simply throwing this one under the bus. They’ll regroup and rethink the spin. Implement some new tariffs. Wait for the news cycle to move on. And then hit even harder. And we all must be ready for the next wave.

Honestly can’t believe the parallels to Col Lockjaw in OBAA.

As a lifelong @nuggets.bsky.social fan… do I REALLY have to start supporting the @nba.com Timberwolves?! At least for this I do. 🍻

Tell me you haven’t been to ANY hardware store EVER without telling me you haven’t ever been to a hardware store…

Police Repeatedly Shoot Tim Cook After Mistaking iPhone For Gun https://theonion.com/police-repeatedly-shoot-tim-cook-after-mistaking-iphone-1824184361/

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today. This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here > "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.” Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

@el-p.bsky.social where ya hiding Zach?… We could all really use you two right now.

Imagine going to this screening on a night like this one. The blood of an American civilian runs on a Minneapolis street. These people have no shame.
