In just two days the Trump administration has rhetorically expanded their bogeyman term from ‘antifa’ to ‘antifa-aligned.’ They are not hiding their goal of equating protest with terrorism.

Trump sending troops to Portland: The entire point is to normalize the use of the military against U.S. citizens. Eventually, expect them to declare war zones and authorize drone strikes.

Abolish ICE. Now. www.newsweek.com/ice-detentio...

As a fairly new Green Party member, I'd like to gently suggest that this weirdo should go fuck himself, and to commend the Greens for their unapologetic commitment to LGBT+ liberation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Signed 60 years ago this week, Executive Order 11246 was a landmark step by President Lyndon Johnson to advance equal opportunity in employment. But just two days into his second term, President Trump revoked EO 11246— a significant rollback of protections that had stood for six decades.

you should also avoid uber because they just invested millions of dollars into an israeli drone firm (during a genocide)

Feds just arrested a reporter at the ICE facility outside Chicago

Chaos again, feds tackling protesters at random. They just detained @peoplesfabric.com.

Putin not Musk is probably the richest man on earth but that only makes the point stronger — control of media by oligarchs leads to folly, fascism, and war

🧵A few notes for all the haters bitching about Violet Affleck’s speech to the U.N.: She’s not a kid. She’s a 19-year old woman. She’s not unqualified. She’s currently a student at Yale University, which has a 4.5% acceptance rate, and is pursuing a public health degree. (1/4)

Disinvite them from the tailgate. Do not go to the baby shower. Call out their bullshit on Facebook. Do not just purse your lips and nod politely. Ostracize the living shit out of them. Leave their church potluck casserole untouched. These people are extremely vulnerable to social shame.

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

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.

these fucking thugs

Saw the wonderful Eric Idle at the Royal Albert Hall this evening. I’m so glad he hasn't turned into an anti-woke transphobic bigot like John Cleese and Terry Gilliam.

the word of the day is jury nullification. Ok fine that's two words

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

one thing about the events of 2020 in portland is it got very dangerous AFTER police & federal enforcement got involved. because they, not the protesters, were behaving violently and maliciously with no care for collateral damage or their targets’. not to mention RW militia excited to fight “antifa”

New baby red pandas at the Buffalo Zoo being inducted into Bills traditions.

Great morning today assisting with the @calgaryclimatehub.ca’s tiny forest (Miyawaki) planting in Royal Oak community. Caring people caring for each other and the planet.

We've been ordered out of the street again. Crowd chanting "quit your job!" at the feds.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

The Battle of Wounded Knee, also known as the Wounded Knee Massacre, took place in South Dakota in 1890.

Yes. They're mad cos they are worried that we are right to be concerned, & if we are proven (more) right in future, they want to be able to say "We didn't know! Nobody was masking!" But our masks give the lie to that. I think this is all subconscious, BTW.

"guys please stop comparing ICE to the Gestapo, we're clearly trying to do more of an SS thing over here"

I've put together a timeline of incursions into the airspace of European countries in recent months. Honestly, when it's all in one place, that looks very worrying. Please let me know if I've missed any incursions.

I needed to think carefully about how to word this. Labour Women’s Network used to allow anyone who identified as a woman. They have changed the wording to simply “women” and stated this means “biological women.” Labour Women’s Network is a transphobic organisation and I will not be party of it.

Local sources: Palestinian Authority security forces fired live bullets and tear gas canisters in Al-Amari camp in Al-Bireh.

State Dept's revoking visa of Colombia's president because he said in Spanish "That's why from here, from New York I ask all the soldiers of the army of the United States not to point their guns at people. Disobey the orders of Trump. Obey the orders of humanity." www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

This is much, much more significant than the Comey indictment but has gotten like 0.1% of the media coverage

I mean, at this point, he could just as easily enter into a Labour-Conservative pact www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Fucker.

Very worried about this.

They’re the same party. Literally. It’s the same Companies House listing So that clears up the “oh it’s a different party” nonsense👍🏼 7/14

to be honest a bunch of the founders would have probably been less concerned by "mohammadans" than irish catholics like walsh

My best advice for parents re: harmful content: show genuine interest in the stuff your kid is watching and doing online. Let them talk your ear off about Minecraft and Roblox and the funny video they just watched. Make them feel excited to share with you, vs making them feel ashamed or judged

This is disturbing phrasing by Trump. The ‘enemy’ are ‘AntiFa Terrorists’ so he’s sending in his paramilitary forces to ‘war ravaged’ Seattle with shoot to kill orders. AntiFa is what the far right calls anyone who doesn’t agree with them*. So literally anyone can be shot on Trumps orders, if true.

We are a government ruled by viral video fiat now. You aren't even allowed to research which viral video has whipped the regime into a mania and how they came to believe it, because the research of the systems themselves is viewed as "censorship." This how you end up randomly invading Portland.

"TikTok Is About to Go Full MAGA" This administration is in the final stages of a deal to hand over control of TikTok to pro-Trump, pro-Israel billionaire investors – and Joe Biden is to blame, argues @taylorlorenz.bsky.social for Zeteo:

Im sorry what Without a business license???

ICE fishing 😂

Lil snippet: “As his biographer Max Chafkin revealed in *Contrarian: Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s Pursuit of Power,* Thiel secretly seed-funded Quillette—the Australian magazine that has specialised in giving race science a new gloss.”

Essential context for what is happening in Portland and Trump's declaration of war against us. Note that it's *local law enforcement* accusing the feds of incitement.

"Living through the rise of a dictatorship just means inhabiting a space that is gradually shrinking. There’s no point in resisting, not at first. You just make do with whatever breathing room you still have—until you lose that too." Read Gisela Salim-Peyer: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Once we are at war with Venezuela the Alien Enemies Act leaves the courts powerless to stop ICE from throwing anyone they want to call a "Venezuelan" into camps and deporting those people end masse to anywhere in the world that will take them. Normalizing this state of exception means we're all next

So as part of my day job I regularly have to check people's right to be in the UK, via a UK passport, or an eVisa/share code. These are legal requirements. Anyone saying we need online ID so we can verify who has a right to be in the UK is lying to you. We already do that. They are lying.

not true

Just so we are all clear on what's happened - one branch of the checks and balances of our constitutional form of government just told another branch that they can tell the third branch to pound sand, and if you don't see how that's the end of our constitutional government, I can't help you.
