Conor Lamb should have been the nominee. I wish so much PA voters had been smarter

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats"

subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

When is the National Guard or Broadview police or Illinois State Police or literally ANYONE going to identify and arrest the ICE agent that shot a priest in the head? bsky.app/profile/john...

John Pfaff @johnpfaff.bsky.social · 1d

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Feel like "Kings" to many Americans implies a dignity and prestige that Trump absolutely does not have

Does anyone else hate the "No Kings" label that is the Resistance's mantra during Trump 2.0?

No Kings. October 18th. Free speech is action. Please join in.

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Hamilton: "Certainly, to an extent."

Judge April Perry taking forever to rule on the National Guard in Chicago because Vance was evil to her and she doesn’t want to seem biased against him makes me so mad. Hey Judge Perry they are going to call you biased no matter what. Get the National Guard out of here!!!

Glad to see this from MTG but those stats are terrifying. Only 47%? You have the MAGA cult + Republican assholes blaming Dems for everything even when Dems have no power, and then you have the checked-out "Not Sure" assholes who don't bother paying attention to a fucking thing in their country

Context for your followers: This happened on Sept. 19, nearly a month ago, but didn't get much attention inexplicably for weeks -- possibly because ICE was also doing other disgusting things that day like throwing congressional candidates to the ground

I'm really glad it is getting attention now; I think it took a while because so much of the coverage from Sept. 19 was of the other horrors (ICE throwing congressional candidates to the ground, etc)

It wasn't yesterday, it was in late September. As a Broadview protester, I have no idea why it didn't get more coverage until now

Anti-ICE protests deserve to be free of pro-Palestine flags and signs. The pro-Palestine slogans are diluting the anti-ICE, anti-Trump cause and Trump is just going to mock the pro-Pali set and tell them they should be thanking him for a peace deal, not protesting him

Not defending Porter but people would be shocked by how many politicians are terrible to their staff; just almost always off camera. Sheila Jackson Lee when she was alive, Blake Fahrenthold and Pramila Jayapal for ex had pieces written about how shitty they are

Poor Ukraine keeps getting bombed daily while Russia uses Israel to get back into Trump's good graces. (Fun fact: the Russians who have emigrated to Israel are a big reason why Israel has become so conservative)

They are now in full fascism mode where they blatantly lie about actual numbers and facts because the Republican cult is that hateful and stupid, and because the rest of America (that isn’t GOP but doesn’t vote) is too checked out to care about politics
