This is so gross. Anyone who has lived in Minnesota (Minneapolis/St. Paul specifically) will tell you that the Somali population there is among the kindest and hardest-working people you'll ever meet.

The “kill them all” order by SecDef Hegseth would be a textbook war crime even if the original attack had been legal.

“Mark my words: It may take some time, but Americans will be prosecuted for this, either as a war crime or outright murder.”

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

The Trump gang is really going soft on Nazism.

Footage is missing from October 19 through October 31. This is during a period of mass protest in front of the facility, which has led to many arrests. The footage was sought as discovery in a case where people detained there claim abuse and horrendous living conditions:

Chris Murphy: "The fact of the matter is if you don't put constraints on Donald Trump's illegality, this democracy isn't going to be here next November. It isn't going to be here in 2028. So Democrats, yes, have to draw firm moral lines in the sand right now."

Two days of protest in Charlotte, NC. This clip from yesterday as Border Patrol invades the city. Protests expected again today. /

Chris Murphy on possible military strikes on Venezuela: "It's pretty clear it's just an effort to distract people from the rising prices and the Epstein scandal. No one wants a war with Venezuela ... and by the way, it's wildly illegal."

Huh. Interesting

"Never has the dark side of the phrase “history is the propaganda of the victors” been so starkly apparent."

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

Gates has been harmful on climate for a long time. He has never understood the corruption and negative externality problems. www.linkedin.com/pulse/bill-g...

Here are my three truths about climate: 1. We fail if we don’t end free-to-pollute fossil fuel model. Period. Game over. 2. A crash looms, prefigured by collapse in home insurance/mortgage markets. 3. There are true villains in the story, and we have to tell it that way.

It is now illegal to be anti-Trump. - per Dicktator Donnie.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities? Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children? And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

The seeds are being planted to rig the midterms. It’s becoming more explicit. (Also note the gratuitous shot at the NBA, aka Black athletes who oppose him)

As his mental faculties are increasingly compromised, he becomes more and more a caricature of himself. As his retinue is obsequious toadies, that makes him more and more dangerous.

Enten: "Trump is doing absolutely awful in the minds of the American people. We're talking about new lows. CNBC, -13 net approval on the economy. It's -19 among Quinnipiac ... He's not just beating himself with record lows -- this is the lowest for any president ever."

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Yesterday, 7 million people gathered to make it clear: America has no kings. 🇺🇸

Durham, NC No Kings! #northcarolina #nokings

This is fucking awful but has the byproduct of making ICE look like dumb babies.

🚨 *Breaking News* Robby Roadsteamer has been detained by ICE Portland after singing Rod Stewart with the Portland Frog! We need your help! Please support Robby's campaign and lawyer fees at robbyroadsteamer.com link on bio 💙🦒🦒🦒

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Yes, we indeed have a serious problem.

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

The cruelty is the point

The confrontation took place at New Hampshire & Webster NW in DC.

Without provocation, masked federal agents indiscriminately shoot peaceful protesters with rubber bullets from the rooftop of the Portland ICE facility.

"Arctic Frost" is what Grassley now calls the January 6 investigation (apparently the FBI used that name internally). He doesn't want most people to realize this investigation was related to the January 6 coup attempt and broader conspiracy to overturn the results of a free and fair election.

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it. His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious.

“Violence is not the cause of Trump and Miller’s desire to use state power to crush their opposition. It is the pretext for which they transparently long.”

Dude, do I have a song for you. 🤩 bsky.app/profile/tomm...

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States. America is on the brink of martial law. Do not be silent.

And this is just a small sample of the scams and the grift!

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

Fact: Undocumented immigrants are not even eligible to purchase the ACA coverage we’re trying to protect. Republicans voted to hike costs and take health care away from American citizens. Including their own constituents. Read that again. Over and over.

This is the language of dictators.

Six hours after telling Border Patrol leadership to comply with a court order… US Attorney Michele Beckwith was FIRED by Donald Trump. Donald Trump and Pam Bondi are weaponizing the Justice Department, firing anyone refusing to do their dirty work.

This is a the next step in Trump's authoritarian playbook. It has nothing to do with cracking down on political violence & everything to do with Trump using the power of govt to lock up his critics. Our country is facing a lawless president & patriots must stand united against it.

Ty Cobb: "The simple theme is rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection... America needs to learn from the mistakes that we've had. And one of the biggest mistakes that America ever had was reelecting President Trump"

@unraveledpress.com literally got me being shot — I'm crouched behind the van holding the back of my head where I'd already been hit. Then it pans to the right where the ICE is pointing right at us. I get hit in the face & you see the man who was with me rush past as he takes me to the medic

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
