ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

...The current ceasefire and the swap of prisoners and hostages were good steps, but given the history of the region and this conflict specifically, the odds of the ceasefire holding are not great...trump’s appearance in Egypt was little more than theater...

Sweaty And incoherent Trump Can Barely Finish His Speech In Egypt

Trump babbled as sweat poured down his face. Fellow world leaders tried to maintain interest as the president could barely keep his thoughts together while speaking in Egypt about the Gaza peace plan

No one thought he could win once
No one thought he could win twice
No one believed he’d get away with it
No one believed he’d be on the ballot
No one accepted the grim reality
No one accepted he’d destroy humanity
No one was prepared for this
No one is stopping it

WE are the last line of defense

The Middle East is being conned just like America has been conned.

None of what Trump is saying about the Israel-Gaza war being over is true.

None of the agreements he claims have been made have been made, besides a single hostage deal.

He’s lying to the world, and much of the world believes him.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 5h

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

Feeling the need to say this...

if you have friends that only like you when you act a certain way, they aren't your friends.

If your partners only want you to share certain things or be a certain way, they do not love you.

Being your natural self and being loved for it is real connection.

Getting the impression that a lot of people think 1. Freedom of Speech is something you have a right to on privately owned social media platforms and 2. Conveniently stops after you’ve announced your opinion, but before anyone else is allowed to say it’s stupid.

The wearing of masks to hide identity while terrorizing people who aren’t white is today’s version of the white robes and face covering.

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he’ll be making “necessary cuts” to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.

It’s deeply encouraging to see footage of hostages reuniting with their families and to see Israeli forces withdrawing from Gaza.

There are obviously many more steps to achieving a lasting peace but today’s developments should give us all a profound sense of hope.

I can’t believe we’re like a decade into the streaming revolution and I still can’t go to ESPN’s app to see highlights of the baseball playoff game of my choice.

There’s an episode of Baseball Tonight I can watch… from last Wednesday.
