This mofo said false herring

An administrative warrant is signed by THE ICE OFFICIALS CONDUCTING THE SEARCH. It is tantamount to requiring no warrant at all. A government secret-police agency says "We want to come into your home and seize you. To do that, all we need is a piece of paper saying so, that we ourselves wrote."

I bet you can make a lot of people mad by pointing out that the Ukrainians are fighting a deeply unambiguous anti-colonial war

Gavin Newsome just seems really polarizing and a risky option if Dems are serious about winning.

got in an argument with this khaki wearing guy who had his pristine f150 parked all the way across a sidewalk (?) and in the course of the argument i asked ‘do you do a lot of backcountry driving in that thing’ and it upset him so bad he had to lock himself in his truck lmao

how we got here

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

Roses are red Violets are blue Cocaine is better With a small bit of poo

If a government spokesperson can deny what viewers have just seen with their own eyes and suffer no penalty for doing so, then viewers learn something powerful about where authority actually resides: beyond reality.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

For those who don't know, Luttig was once considered the intellectual heir to Scalia. He was about as conservative a judge as you could find...

I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #abolishice #iceout #palantir #paloalto

Woke 2 is a hillbilly 2A guy marching arm in arm with a bitchy older librarian both singing Battle Hymn of the Republic and ready to hunt down JD Vance.

“military-grade intelligence tactics” “Pattern-of-life” intelligence Bro, you are eating microwaveable Campbell’s Soup for every meal and crashing out in front of the Home2Suites while you’re geared up like you’re in Fallujah

AIPAC might have just inadvertently and single handedly tanked a pro Israel candidate and sent a woman to Congress who says Palestine is the victim of a genocide

do you have any idea how chill you have to be for sex workers to say they felt unusually safe around you WHILE you smoked crack?!

I’ve been thumping the table about this for years. Now it’s accelerating. I wish I could get my private college colleagues to realize that if it’s not stopped, it’s coming for us, too. “But we’re private!” Sure, ask Orban or Erdogan what an autocrat does with private higher ed.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

We found that Jeff Bezos paid *zero* taxes in 2007 and 2011. In fact, he reported making so little in 2011 that he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children. This is how he did it (published 2021):

Ok so tomorrow, go get arrested. Bring a camera crew, hold your hands up with a copy of judge cobb's order enjoining noem's illegal visit policy, and walk into the facility until they slap the cuffs on you

Members of congress, right now, unlike the rest of us, have a court order (and the law) saying they're allowed into ICE detention facilities whenever they want, no matter what kristi noem says. Because of that they have a unique responsibility. Don't come on social media and say "I was denied"

They're trying to tell us that they always get what they want. That there is nothing so hideous that they won't do it, even if it's kidnap a five year old child and then, when they lose, really try even harder to make him suffer more. Fuck them.

Tonight at 8:30 PM our constituent Ricky was pepper sprayed by ICE on 18th & Polk. 2 agents parked their car, got out and approached observers, started pepper spraying Ricky on public property, and then drove away and left. Nothing is changing on the ground in Minnesota. ICE must be abolished.

It is with deep sadness that I have to report the passing of Chip Berlet. He was one of the few people to consistently research and organize against the U.S. Far Right from the 1970s through the '00s. His co-authored 2000 book "Right-Wing Populism in America" unfortunately remains all-to-relevant.

Just like with Kilmer Abrego Garcia, the biggest sin any targeted immigrant can commit is winning battles — legal or PR battles — against the government, and they just won’t let those losses go

This moment is bringing out the best in some of us (like this speaker) and bringing out the worst in others of us. This is a time for choosing to live a life that you're proud of, or not. ❤️

What I really love about this brief speech is the way that the speaker skillfully uses a parallel case to compare the two situations and--with great empathy and humility--invites his audience to think of themselves as those German citizens who did nothing.

The speaker invokes the excuses they might make now, compares them to the excuses that they made then. And again with great empathy and humility--invites his audience to think about the anguish that the German mayor must have felt for not deciding as the speaker urges them to decide. We know enough.

"We know enough" is a refrain that prevents people in positions of power from pretending that they don't know. We know enough.

Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began. Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

If you won’t say this, you should not hold public office

AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.

A fundamental problem with this country is that you have less responsibility, transparency, and duty as you gain more power when it should be the opposite. The Supreme Court gets to be very secretive for no good reason. Cops get a monopoly on violence and have near total immunity when they use it.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to wake up at 5 am and don 30 lbs of tactical gear you bought off amazon to sit in a chevy tahoe in the parking lot of the elementary school where you kidnapped a five year old kid to intimidate his teachers. good luck soldier

the answer is that jennings performance of smug dishonesty reliably generates viral clips, so they continue to have him on even though he is a shameless liar

i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.

Xbox LIVE was willing to do in 2013 what the entire US establishment was not.

It actually gives me hope that MELANIA is a shittily-made movie. The documentarians/filmmakers of other fascist regimes were actually competent filmmakers. This regime gets… Brett Ratner and ai slop. They ain’t convincing anybody with a brain.

Not sure how @theonion.com stays on top of breaking news like this but the print edition just showed up at my house with this:

The thing about ICE and DHS is that I was 28 or 29 when they were created. I remember people arguing that they would become an authoritarian tool specifically designed to terrorize Americans. They knew.

I specifically remember the discussion of the use of "Homeland" and how it was chosen specifically to appeal to the fascist appeal for a "Fatherland" or "Motherland" - the imaginary place where the "true American" originates.

Yeah but what if the Melania movie was called Seven Samurai instead? And then when you went to see it they just showed you Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 masterpiece Seven Samurai? I bet you liberals would *love* it then. Typical.

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

If you can convince people that being a poll worker can cost you your freedom people aren’t going to be willing to do it anymore
