Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

For all the but how can we afford space exploration folks…this means we’ve already spent more on this war that started last week than Cassini cost in the 26 years it took to build, launch, and operate it.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

When I saw the news story about the girls school being bombed, one of my first thoughts was about how unlike American physics, Iranian physics is 50% women at the undergrad level and how some of those girls who had been murdered were going to be physicists one day

Just to be blunt: the administration's belligerence abroad and at home are not distractions, they are things they loudly promised in the 2024 campaign and close to the heart of many of the key figures involved, including Trump himself. They live for this shit, and see it as Good Content

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime.

You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.

once again, i am asking you to believe black people when they tell you something is true

some of the olympic women including maddie mastro have been reposting this if you’re curious about the vibe in response to the US men’s little display

The absolute refusal to connect American history to American current events is one of the weirdest expressions of modern racism.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

"DOGE’s objective was never to save taxpayer dollars. Musk did not 'fail'...DOGE was—and remains, through Vought’s OMB—an effort to extinguish the existing government and create a new one in the image of oligarchs and far-right ideologues."

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.

Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

This is dystopian… and not just because they’re dressed like a scene from the handmaids tale.

These are mostly children.

This is where Liam Ramos is being held.

They’re screaming “let us out” and protesting the brutal conditions.

These kids are braver than every ICE thug holding them hostages

The Gestapo is being exported. This is why Abolishing ICE is a matter of global urgency.

Protesters chanting "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minne[apolis/sota] taught us to be brave" in Boston tonight outside Government Center station.

At 26th and Nicolett in Minneapolis this morning—

Feds have just shot another person in the streets. Furious community members are gathering. State police and conservation cops here in front of ~50 federal agents.

This company and this entire business model is for Suckers and Dopes only.

Protesters in Minneapolis rallying against ICE and the abductions of residents.

“No work. No spending.” Minnesota workers strike tomorrow to protest ICE.

If you’re a grown ass man in full tactical gear asking a child to show you ID or proof of citizenship you failed at life. Utterly & completely failed. Loser.

KIDNAPPED. You don’t arrest a child. The word you’re looking for is KIDNAPPED.

hard not to notice that as trump's polls crater and gop gets crushed in election after election, news orgs are not racing around hiring progressive commenters and boasting about how they're reaching out to real americans by following the will of the volk.

I put myself through the entire interview. Trust me when I tell you that Gavin "dank memes" Newsom agrees with him on EVERYTHING. I literally says "I agree with you" on EVERYTHING. Ben "extremely unpopular even with MAGA" Shapiro gets very combative with him and Gavin capitulates EVERY time.

This is why I told y'all that messaging that centers training is/was a mistake. You cannot train away the mission, the racism, or the impunity. This shit just makes the violence more expensive. Also, if this is true, it's a bitch ass move by Senate Dems, and people should be harsh af about it.

This should be a national shutdown

over the course of 1871, congress held seven months of hearings on ku klux klan and other white vigilante violence in the south, they took detailed testimony from hundreds of black men and women attesting to klan terror. (1/?)
