I know this is a dead horse at this point, but god damn these fucks are going to make me defend PSL now??

this is why I call it abuse at scale

IL Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh: "I think Kristi Noem should have consequences. I think she should be tried at The Hague."

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

I read generals as genitals and was completely unphased by it, and Freud be damned, I think that says a lot more about these people than me

Protesters chant “shame” as feds retreat

Here is the “when are you going to kill yourself” moment.

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

If they had the capacity to do this, it would be really bad. And they probably will try to do a couple of high profile examples to make you think they *do* have the capacity. But like a lot of stuff, this is a memo designed to get you to voluntarily stop doing stuff they don’t like.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you…

Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest.

The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Beware fascism's most effective cheerleaders: Those who screech constantly that the battle is lost and action is hopeless.

Their cowardly panic is a virus that aims to infect others with the same demoralizing terror.

Shun them, shame them, block them—mercilessly.

I cannot emphasize this enough:

The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent.

They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so.

Doomers are not realists.

For those just learning more about Turning Point USA and Kirk, here's a thread of some of the stuff I've covered over the years, mostly for @lcrw.bsky.social, which has also covered TPUSA over the years and the real (negative) impact they've had on various communities throughout the county.

Holy shit

If you haven’t seen this (I hadn’t), you need to:

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended.

It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

I cannot emphasize enough how unhelpful it is to make the joke or comment — I’ve been guilty of making it at times myself — that this is conservative “cancel culture,” it’s not. It’s an authoritarian, cultish, censorship project run by the most powerful people in the federal government…

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt.

Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

While we're all distracted by the domestic sideshow, Trump is sending the military out to kill people he says are "terrorists", in violation of US and international law. No wonder people at the Pentagon are checking in with their lawyers.
