An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

It's not often, if ever, that the U.S. Director of National Intelligence goes for an FBI ride-along on a raid to a state election office. Are they getting ready for a foreign interference play for this year's midterm? 🤔
“.. U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard speaks on the phone while standing inside a vehicle loaded with boxes outside the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center after the FBI executed a search warrant there.”

Re youtu.be/Sn53Yjt9_gU?...

There is no "sane immigration reform", bc there is no immigration crisis. People lacking paperwork are not criminals, cannot be picked up at any time of the day or night, and no one is illegal.

It's not about "citizens", it's about human beings @governorwalz.mn.gov

its looking like the local & state administrators might have folded and will let ice continue to operate in minneapolis WITH local law enforcement protection in exchange for some fake promises that there will be a real investigation into the two murders & a "scaleback

I am surprised by the incompetence shown in the TT transition. Other platforms, like YT, censor more effectively by altering the viewer graph to lock creators into ghettos, and leaving them unaware of the censorship.

@governorwalz.mn.gov Send the guard to *protect* the protestors, and those targeted by ICE. It is the only moral and legal action you have.

The Minnesota National Guard is being deployed, facing the wrong direction, according to reports. It should be deployed by the Governor Walz to protect people from DHS.

It's a mistake to use them for crowd control, the violence is coming from the federal gov. #ice #Minneapolis @governorwalz.mn.gov

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

OMFG another one.

Rm Brown's finest. In spite of the title, the subject is White Replacement "journalism" done about daycare in MN that's being used to justify a fascist purge.

I love his work, it cancels out Austin's hosting of Rogan.

I think NYT is the opposite of informative these days; it's rolled over and is completely compliant. However, there is one bright spot that I consume via Youtube: @jamellebouie.net is telling the truth in beautifully crafted videos.

Extremely detailed. For those too young, the "Iran-Contra" scandal involved Reagan selling arms to Iran, and using the cash to fuel right-wing militias in Central America.

Btw, if you're affect by the bug where you can't post, the button is in the DOM, just invisible.

The `aria-label` is "New Post", which looks like the most reliable way to search for it (they don't believe in html ids, lol). You may be able to find it if you resize, as well.

Helen Thomas, I'm sorry.

I had forgotten about this; at the time, it was seen as sad, how a once-great journo had fallen, probably to dementia. It's awful to think about how wrong we were.

This short touches on the irony of the NYT suit over the loyalty oath.

Old news, but it only now occurred to me how the vast majority's righteous feelings toward environmental justice have been misdirected, into MAHA, "wellness", and ironic conspiracy theories. Cancer clusters, microplastics, lead infrastructure are real; chem-trails are not.

@chiosse.bsky.social RUN.

Worst case, clownshoes has to move left. Best case, a ringer for the system is thrown out. If we're going to play the electoral game, we should at least play like we're trying

#socialism
4 senior House Dems — Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, Pete Aguilar, & Ted Lieu — voted for a Republican-led resolution to “CONDEMN SOCIALISM,” a symbolic measure that passed the chamber on Wed. The vote comes as NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is set to meet with Pres. Donald Trump at the WH today.
