Alt text: I saw an ER nurse recommend that anyone assaulted by ICE and seeking emergency care should ask for a forensic nurse exam, since these specialists are trained to document injuries for legal purposes and that documentation can be admissible in court. —@illestdivinity💯

Missed this a few days ago: Two U.S. citizens grabbed by ICE say there were cells reserved for Americans. Also, they weren’t given medical attention or allowed to go to the bathroom. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

if any crave redress of injustice, they should exhibit their petitions in the street

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican. He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

Our good friend Joy Harris still needs our support in dealing with her cancer costs. She's been such a light to Romancelandia. Can you help bring her some light? Thanks. 💜 gofund.me/0c8d4cee0

“They’re denying that any of her birth certificates, which are from Laurel, Maryland, her records of immunization, medical records — they’re denying the authenticity of them. It is something I’ve never encountered.” www.huffpost.com/entry/us-cit...

Awful news. A jury found Judge Hannah Dugan guilty of a felony for protecting an immigrant from ICE She will likely appeal. But this is difficult to see

Michael C. Rockefeller got shipwrecked in 1963, washed up on an island, and was promptly eaten by cannibals.

Every ad for AI is like Person: FUCK!! I don’t know what to get my loved one for Christmas!!!!!! I love them so much!!! Tell me what to do, AI!! AI: get sock Title Card: You are literally the smartest person for doing this

More mangoes, less MAGA

Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

@profanity.accountant what’s my tally?

ChatGPT is *definitely* not therapy.

Brilliant thread. I’ve had similar thoughts about “creative” AI slop (images, poetry) & why they feel so flat & not worth engaging with. And I know AI coding isn’t really productivity enhancing (despite how it feels to coders). But I hadn’t yet connected this idea to “workslop” & its implications.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

UPDATE! Several senators have filed amendments that, if passed, will significantly strengthen the bill! Please urge your senator to vote for Amendments 1, 4, 5, 6, and 18. This must be done before Wednesday, so the sooner the better. More details...1/5

Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not. If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

why is this mayoral election different than all other mayoral elections? in all other mayoral elections, we get to see andrew cuomo lose but once. but in this mayoral elections, we get to see him lose *twice*.

This is the absolute sweetest 🥹

“we will not comply with court orders demanding we spend the money congress has allocated to feed the hungry” is quite the message when you’re trying to get congress to come back and allocate money

YES YOU SHOULD VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS TOMORROW EVEN IF MAMDANI IS NOT ON THE BALLOT WHERE YOU LIVE

This magazine just fired all of their politics staffers

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

How has the travesty that is our official whitehouse.gov website slash Hatch Act violation not broken containment yet? I swear my consciousness has left my body. HOW ARE PEOPLE OKAY WITH THIS?!? www.whitehouse.gov/mysafespace/

"The notices state that “Payment in full is due now” & list an array of potential consequences for failure to pay, including collection litigation & negative impacts on their immigration cases. Fines that aren’t paid in full will accrue interest." Children in detention can't work. And are CHILDREN.

There's no question that the @nytimes.com has ACTUALLY openly campaigned against Mamdani. Everyone in the city saw it. Why would they be trusted to report honestly on anything if he wins? The answer is they would not.

It’s wild how casually we say “42 million people are on SNAP” like that’s just a normal statistic. That’s 12% of the entire country—in the richest nation on earth—relying on government help just to eat. That shouldn’t be a data point we shrug off. That’s a national emergency.
