sometimes history rhymes, etc

The best time to abolish ICE would have been in 2021. The next best time is if we win in 2028. At this point, any Democrat unwilling to abolish ICE must be drummed out of the primary.

this is accurate along multiple dimensions they’re getting dumber and more right wing but they are now smarter and more left wing in comparison to the people they see on twitter all day (stupid nazis) which also leads them to be even more prone to dismissing criticism from the left

"the speaker of the House is refusing to seat a duly elected member of Congress to protect the president from a vote to investigate his extensive connections the world's most notorious human trafficking pedophile" is one of those things you simply cannot put into New York Timesese

Waking up every morning and checking the kidnapping report alongside the weather is not a thing anyone should have to do.

AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED

It’s almost like when you don’t have a rabidly trans-hostile media ecosystem, people generally support human rights. lens.monash.edu/@politics-so...

so anyway we should take this momentum and all the images of them snatching people and get rid of qualified immunity. for ice, but also for every single law enforcement. get rid of it and put real fear into all of them

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”? anyway that’s why these events are important

Beyond the costumes at No Kings, Democratic leadership may want to check the signs to understand the vibe of their base right now (hint: it’s not health care)

North Carolina, good morning, raise up. This one's for you? Uh-uh, this one's for who? Us us us

Wonderful thread. To shamelessly plagiarize @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, I do not regret to inform you we are going to win

I do not say kind things about Boston as a general rule but today? Hell yeah Boston this rules

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Great context here on Ohtani from CBS www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/sho...

important to recognize we are currently watching the greatest baseball player who ever lived smack in the middle of his prime and we should enjoy every second of it there have been people who are better at hitting and people who are better at pitching but not together, not like this

the trump administration has joined bluesky to troll us and you should just block every one of their accounts on site and not give them the satisfaction nor the air for their dung

Just called the office of @govpritzker.illinois.gov to express concern over Illinois State Police's actions at Broadview and literally had the staffer on the phone scream at me to shut up. Super cool.

Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov, you need to do something about these ISP goons attacking protesters like @katmabu.bsky.social.

you have to call off the state police that is roughing up protesters if you are serious.

My vote in the 2028 D primary for POTUS will hinge almost entirely on the % of this Administration they promise to imprison

“It is with profound sadness that House of gg announces the passing of our beloved leader & revolutionary figure in the TLGBQ liberation movement, Miss Major Giffin-Gracy. Miss Major, 78, passed away ... in the comfort of her home & surrounded by loved ones in Little Rock, Arkansas,” her team wrote.

“Win every election” is not a viable strategy for preventing authoritarianism

Listen to the response to this and look how easy it is to say it.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

But here's the problem. EVERYONE ALWAYS THINKS THEY'RE A GOOD PERSON. I think that. You think that. I bet if you injected Trump with truth serum, he'd say he's a good person too. We all have this carceral binary thinking that we're the heroes of our own stories. It's how we navigate the world.

BREAKING: Masked Border Patrol agents aggressively arrested WGN video producer Debbie Brockman in Lincoln Square Friday morning, supposedly for "obstructing justice." (Video via Josh Thomas on Facebook) Follow @heartlandsignal for more.

It really is amazing how far rank bigotry gets the GOP given they tell their constituents to shut up and die at every turn.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW). The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Vladdy: "DAAAAAA YANKEES LOSE!"

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

IL Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh: "I think Kristi Noem should have consequences. I think she should be tried at The Hague."

There's fundamentally no legal difference between allowing Trump to fire the FTC commissioner pending litigation and not allowing him to fire a Fed governor except that the latter directly implicates the investment portfolios of SCOTUS justices and their benefactors. It's comical how corrupt this is

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident. Release Steve Held.

Can’t even laugh at this. The idea of these meatheads skulking around my beautiful, glittering jewel box of a city, looking to tackle every non-white person they see, makes me sick to my stomach. This is the real domestic terrorism.

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

I’m about to wahoo a waa so big
