Yes, do this.

"You cannot arrest someone because they are Hispanic" is worth fighting for. It's worth shutting down the government for. And it's worth attracting attention to.

A provision banning racial profiling of Hispanics by ICE in reaction to yesterday's SCotUs action should immediately be added as a non-negotiable position for any kind of CR.

*Force* the GOP to *demand* racial profiling of Hispanics and make them threaten to shut down the government over it

Did you know it's legal to say "an Elbit arms manufacturing plant in Bristol has closed its doors after months of targeting from Palestine Action". But it'd ILLEGAL to follow that with "what incredible work from those heroes". That'd be an offence under the Terrorism Act of 2000. Don't say that!

This is the digital stasi. Social media influencers utilizing tips from followers for content that they monetize while working with state actors to target the people they want.

It's all a spectacle packaged as content. Destroying people's lives for profitable ideological bloodsport.
Alt text: A tweet from Pete Hegseth reads: “Pronouns UPDATED: She/Her/Fired.” Below is a screenshot of a post by Libs of TikTok saying: “Yikes. This she/her Navy Commander is apparently a medical director for ‘transgender healthcare’ at a Naval center in California. Can you please look into this? @PeteHegseth @DODResponse.” The image shows a Navy officer’s profile with a rainbow background, pronouns listed as “She/Her,” and the role described as “Deputy Medical Director for Transgender Healthcare.” Red boxes highlight the pronouns and the words “Transgender Healthcare.”

🚨 The EU is trying to quietly weaken nature laws during summer break. We have 10 days to stop this.
Don't let them destroy our forests, rivers & wildlife in silence. #HandsOffNature www.wwf.eu/campaigns/it...

It's insane to me how most of the world has stopped shipping mail and packages to the United States and the media has barely covered it. This is what I mean by boiled frogs. Everyone has become accustomed to the once unthinkable.

Trump wants to make the military takeovers scary to stop resistance but the truth is the military is not large enough to control all the major cities if there is mass resistance. They'd need 600k troops at a minimum and the national guard only has ~336k. They can't actually hold cities if we resist.

Germany gets 60% of its power from renewables and is shutting down its coal plants. No blackouts. No high bills. Every right wing lie about renewables has been proven false.

He’s a hero. I lowkey wish he’d do it again. Doesn’t matter if he misses again or not.

The only thing I miss about Twitter is that the guy who threw a shoe at George Bush was on it.

I could commend the guy all I want on here and I have no idea if he’ll ever see it.

When you want to conduct a genocide without people seeing what you're doing, you kill all the journalists. That's exactly what Israel is doing. They just murdered 5 Al-Jazeera journalists living in a tent next to al-Shifa hospital.

So refresh my drink - we're letting generationally wrong people, the wrongest to ever do it - world class in their objective wrongness - kneecap the global economy because non rich people were briefly able to pay more of their bills and rich people took that personally is that the long and short

"I need ChatGPT to brainstorm" dear human person the whole point of brainstorming is to find new ways or angles when approaching a problem, the "let's regurgitate the complete stolen corpus of human achievement"-machine doesn't help you brainstorm - it stops you from brainstorming.

Epstein’s money seeded a Thiel firm.

Thiel founded Palantir.

Palantir now runs a centralized surveillance database on every American.

Surveillance, secrecy, and sex trafficking money?

This isn’t a conspiracy theory, it’s exactly what just happened.

“Nothing to see here” is doing a lot of work.

I do not think The Left is what is keeping a critical mass of Religious People away from The Left. I'm pretty sure that mostly works the other way around.

I feel like I say this every damn day but the point of government is that it’s a public service taxpayers already pay for.

It doesn’t need to turn a profit. It’s not a business and politicians don’t get to treat it like one for their personal enrichment.

Every news outlet that reports on US stocks "surging" should be required to note that the wealthiest 10% of Americans hold more than 90% of all the value of US stocks.

The media will describe everything going up in price by 15% as a win. This is absurd.

15% tariffs will still be imposed on EU goods entering the US.
