To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Kavanaugh stop

These are all sourced from “A People’s History of the United States,” and I struggle to think of a more prescient page from a history book that I have read than this one:

Solidarity is the only way

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

I mean...to be realistic it's probably Amazon's top 100 list for "gas masks"

This. Is. Incredible. I'm madly in love with whoever did this. Also wondering where I can donate to the cause of keeping Portland in inflatable costumes...

Discovered near the ICE facility in Portland this morning.

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s: "I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”

I love this man.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Listen, I'm a progressive born and raised in San Francisco. Virtue signaling is a real thing and if you complain about the term it's probably because it's calling you out. /1

Can someone please direct me to where we can get money for being in protests?

Whoaaa what is this

Wait but her emails...

apparently “bari weiss doesn’t actually know what journalism is” extends to getting basic facts like the name of a subject right

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry. The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

I've been so happy to see frogs reclaimed. It's been such a bummer to have them as symbol only mean someone is racist

Very serious person Andy Ngo has now been reduced to pleading with his audience to please please PLEASE take the dancing antifa muppets seriously

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

Portland, you magnificent weirdos

This is why the costumes are honestly brilliant. Ngo, who has never said a truthful thing in his entire life (remember the concrete milkshake?) now has to convince people inflatable Sesame Street and animal costumes are violent terrorists. Sometimes you just need an image too silly to demonize.

I’m happy that the big kooky liberated Portland frogs have emerged as an aesthetic backlash to the dank Pepes

This is horrible. A justice from SCOTUS should never appear on a cable news network wtf

This is...kinda brilliant Not sure hot dogs will do it, but think we can get them to show who they are with the right incentives?

Lawyers have been publicizing a new term to describe ICE's racially targeted detainments: a “Kavanaugh stop.” Mother Jones reporter Pema Levy explains in this new video:

🤷🏽‍♂️ 🇺🇸 💰

As a group, District Judges (from across the ideological spectrum!) performing as well as just about anyone right now in defending democratic liberty.

This is a FANTASTIC opinion

Where can I buy this?

The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

Please keep making podcasts about how democrats need to stop being so condescending about red states

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight. Read more of our protest coverage here: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

Genius!

"the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa"

Underrated part of this story is that official USG business is done by Truth Social DM. It almost makes you miss the good old days of the PC small group Signal Chat.

Can just one reporter do this? Please? @kaitlancollins.bsky.social

This is why I love Chicago so much. Their “we will fuck with you” reserves are BOTTOMLESS.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan. Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

It's the girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa!

Bondi claiming they arrested [checks notes] "the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa" has me in stitches

genuinely think they are feeding him AI videos
