I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

there is no need to take tactical social movement advice from former fbi agents posting on social media

Will probably never get over the fact that a few powerful white dudes had such limited tolerance for occasional pangs of discomfort brought on by the occasional social consequences of their constantly saying and doing racist stuff, that they decided to end democracy. Absolutely wild.

The subhed here is a master class in corporate journalism rewarding malfeasance via semantics Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient And that's a profile in cowardice

When I become America's benevolent dictator, I'm going to impose a tax on every [mis]use of the word "defiant" in news articles and give the money to independent journalism outlets.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It doesn't make any sense to conceive of due process as a right that individual people can have or not have at all tbh. Bad framing from the start. Due process is a restriction on the government's actions, and by definition it applies to either everyone or no one.

Nearly done posting the videos I’ve created about my 10-day trip to Copenhagen this August. But one of the biggest things that is sticking with me is just how different a place can look and feel when its third spaces are actually invested in. From public transit to parks to street infrastructure.

Thanks, New Yorker

The party that hid racism and misogyny behind “state’s rights” for decades now has control of every branch of the federal government. They’re waging war on states in the name of racism and misogyny and laughing at the whole idea of state’s rights.

ICE is firing pepper bullets and deploying smoke grenades in Portland, even though protesters are remaining in their designated area and peacefully dancing.

I find this encouraging, from @indivisible.org:

Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

Last week Jesse Watters spoke to man named Eric who claimed he was formerly a member of antifa. Two years ago Watters interviewed Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza, a former Mexican Mafia member. Some folks thought the men looked similar. This is a side by side comparison. 🤷‍♀️

PSA: If reading wasn’t political, they wouldn’t be banning books.

Get up! Stand up! Stand up for your right

Whether you like it or not, this is our painful truth in America.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation. This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

In the past 4 weeks in Chicago, ICE/CBP have snatched hundreds of people off the streets & homes, shot & killed a single-father in his car, smashed & abandoned countless cars, and deployed chemical munitions at protesters, journalists, & now on public streets. Today they cuffed an alderperson.

The death of the premature baby born after their mother contracted measles highlights the danger of more and more people refusing vaccines. An individual is contagious 4 days before the rash appears. Imagine a child with measles at a daycare full of babies too young to be vaccinated.

This is Denni. She took an unexpected babysitting shift when she found a baby koala in her yard. She cheerfully delivered the joey to her human, who put them back in the tree to be reunited with their mom. 14/10 (FB: Steve Lamplough)

Damn this is amazing!

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

Yes seeing these crackers crusade against DEI in the name of meritocracy only to then witness USA’s highest ranking military officers get condescended to & told to violate their oaths by a draft dodger & the least qualified person to ever hold a position made me wonder if irony can be too poetic.

So difficult to listen to, but important that we do.💔👇

If you were in the room during Hegseth and Trump's speech, and you'd like to share your response anonymously, reach out to me on Signal (in bio.) Share widely.

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

With nearly 600 National Weather Service employees gone this year, as many as left in the previous five years combined, some forecast offices can’t operate overnight, raising urgent questions about public safety as Trump adds political loyalty tests to new hires.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

“There will be no federal takeover of Portland, Oregon.” 🔥 👀 Damn — @bynum.house.gov is. Not. Playing. Around.

Great news! JSTOR now have a free account with an Independent Researcher category. You can access 100 documents per month www.jstor.org/action/showL...

ICE made Hyundai's legal Korean engineers drink water off the floor, chained them up, and left them sleeping on moldy mats.

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*

79. American citizen.

🚨 IMPORTANT THREAD 🚨 People are protesting the Broadview ICE facility tonight. This will likely be an extremely high-risk action. I caution you to consider your risk level before attending. I will not attend. Attendance risks your safety, but also the safety of Broadview residents + detainees. 1/6

With all the talk of the left being terrorists, does anyone else remember this

”Milloinkaan ei ole ollut tehokkaampaa keinoa lietsoa epäsopua ja vihaa; milloinkaan ei ole ollut helpompaa levittää massoille puolitotuuksia ja valheita, jotta ihmiset eivät tiedä, mitä uskoa – ja kaiken lisäksi hommalla tienaa tuhottomasti rahaa.” yle.fi/a/74-20183768

What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

No massive exit wound on Charlie Kirk? That doesn’t mean no .30-06. Here’s why the viral claim is pure garbage.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

The Trump regime’s domestic terrorist organization—ICE—now has access to an Israeli-made spyware that can hack phones and encrypted apps, building their capability to target dissidents.

The Governor of Maryland, Wes Moore, is the commander-in-chief of the Maryland National Guard. He has a message for Donald Trump. His National Guard will not go on any missions he doesn’t deem critical!

"It's not up to each of us to do everything, but it's up to all of us to do something, & if we play our role, the house of cards he's built up, it's going to fall over." - @ezralevin.bsky.social on All In It's not up to each of us to do everything but it is up to all of us to do something. Yes.
