Once upon a time a news agency like the Associated Press would not print this as a "family says" story. They would confirm it and state it as a fact.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

Police killed 1200+ people in 2025. The ICE & DHS violence is horrific, it should be documented & prosecuted, ICE should be abolished. It’s also crucial to remember that police violence is not rare or unique to ICE. Police kill people every day

The police here are protecting ICE.
Their backs are to ICE not their constituents.

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.

With most psychedelic drugs, you never know what you're going to get. But this mysterious mushroom from China - without fail - causes users to hallucinate tiny people: crawling up walls, popping out from under furniture and marching under doors. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Only recently described by science, the mysterious mushrooms are found in different parts of the world, but they give people the same exact visions.

Let me say one other thing here, to quote @jamellebouie.net today: if Trump sends out his goons to try to stop elections, you know what you do?
YOU GO VOTE.

Let me just say it again: he can’t cancel the midterms. Elections are administered by states.
He can’t do it. Stop telling people he can do it.
Telling people their votes don’t matter based on absolutely false fantasizing by the demented sociopath is doing the work of voter suppression for him.

If Congress does nothing but wring its hands and write letters, if Trump can invade wherever he wants without even having to present a fig leaf pretext for plausible deniability, then he already is a dictator, the Rubicon has been crossed, and the Democratic party is in on it.

There are 63 current MLB players from Venezuela, and over 400 throughout MLB’s history. MLB success relies on migrant labor from Venezuela. When will MLB make a statement about this horrific US Military attack on Venezuela, & about the thousands of Venezuelan refugees kidnapped & deported in 2025?

This thread 🧵 about how Christian the US is at its core. We non-Christians notice this every day, in many ways.
It’s also important to note that the thread would have the same meaning and relevance if it was “white people” instead of “Christians”

Christians are allowed to say in any environment what they believe with certainty, whereas anyone else can state their beliefs, but in a qualified "this is what I believe" or "As a [blank], I believe."

It’s possible that Matt Shaw is naive to Kirk’s & TPUSA’s racist, sexist, anti-education, anti semitism beliefs, and his white Christian supremacist bigotry, all cloaked in the facade of ‘free debate’; but if he is, that’s his own fucking fault and he deserves to be roasted for it
Making a decision to participate in a political movement that's anathema to many Americans — including a large percentage of Cubs fans — only ensures that Matt Shaw will remain in the spotlight in 2026.
