The problem for democracy is that it will not survive three more years of such a system. We cannot hold free and fair elections if judges blindly accept the word of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel’s minions. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/two-...

Exactly how these people should be handled

Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn't circulate online but in person. Anyway I've put it back online with a *thousand* anarchist zines: zinelibrary.org

Did you see this today? Anti #ICE protesters carried a MASSIVE U.S. Constitution through the streets of Minneapolis. Not a flag. Not a slogan. The Constitution. Thousands marched, demanding accountability and asking whether federal enforcement is aligning with the rights written on those pages.

The only option we have now is to join hands and jump into the abyss together. Fear isn’t going to cut it. You’re not going to save your jobs or nest eggs and you’re not going to avoid the crushing boot of fascism unless you become a fascist and even then it isn’t certain. We have a choice.

Ligesom Kendziors oprindelige artikel er denne analyse af Thomas Drake fremragende. “What is really at stake is an event horizon-level question of whether human civilization will be governed by conscience or by pathology.”

DeSantis is totally irrelevant at this point but this scene is very important, we must never stop fighting back. Protester yells; “is that your f*cking legacy? You bowed to a f*cking pedophile! You’re a f*cking pedophile!” #Resist

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far. In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.

”People speak sometimes about the 'bestial' cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.” - Fyodor Dostoevsky - Thread 4/5🧵

Must-read thread

Every person on this list is in the Epstein files, after he was arrested in 2006. So they knew and still associated with him. That tells me one of two things happened— they participated, or they ignored it. MAGA: The pedophile arm of the Republican party. #SheShed

"your time is up!" I love how Pamela Jo thinks she's mob chairman. "belligerent" just the perfect word #BelligerentBondi

And no, I have not seen The Wire. But I have read the CliffsNotes twice and am ready to opine in exhaustive detail if absolutely necessary. The internet is wondrous, is it not?

These Border Patrol thugs say they are being boxed in by a car driven by a mom. A lie. Then they veer into her car & say they've been struck. Another lie. Then the driver opens fire at her. Trump's CBP & #ICE savages are terrorizing our streets. Call Congress at 202-224-3121 & demand action.

It's THE daily thread on Ukraine and its defence against heinous Russian war crimes and what can only be described as the attempted genocide of the Ukrainian people. Day 1449 of this awful marathon. If you've never done so, or not for a while. please consider sending coffee 🙏

Audre Lorde understood what courage requires. She knew silence was never safety and that it was better to speak. An American writer, poet, professor, and civil rights activist who named injustice across race, gender, sexuality, and power. Black History. Always. 🖤 #SheShed #Voices4Victory

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

ICE List – the masks are coming off wiki.icelist.is/index.php/Category:Agents "There were no attacks on members of the KKK, it was a boycott of them in public life. That’s what we’re trying to do here, to allow the public to know which of their neighbours are involved in this.”

Someone should ask every single one of them this question.

I do, in fact, judge the flight crews. Evil depends on thousands of people just doing their job every single day without any pushback.

People are so desperate for some leadership that someone will give a speech that doesn’t sound like a room of centrist, corporate consultants typed it up and everyone starts asking if the guy is the front runner for president. Demand. More. From. Politicians.

Final form:

NEW: Last spring, Tulsi investigated Puerto Rico's voting machines for foreign interference by Maduro. This was before the raid in Fulton County, and before we had Maduro in custody. See where this is going? www.reuters.com/world/americ...

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

This looks like a war zone because Congress keeps funding one. Militarized policing, tear gas, raids—while hospitals close and people ration insulin. Today’s House vote chooses force over care. We could fund healing instead of harm. #FundHealthcareOverIce
