Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.
Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.

I've said this so many times this year.

Demonstrations are awesome, but the sustained work is where it's at.
That 3.5% rule that we’ve heard so much about isn’t, of course, about the attendance at a single day's protests—or even a series of them. It's about a broad swath of the public engaging in resistance on a sustained basis, employing diverse tactics. 5/6

Weird approach considering that the GOP spent all week hyping this up as an apocalyptic festival of Marxist antifa grievance
"Who cares?" says the president about a day of peaceful NO KINGS protest in approximately 2,500 cities, towns, villages all over the United States, and in many other parts of the world.

The shut-down federal government has money to shoot live ammunition over a densely packed freeway in a state they despise to intimidate civilians and disrupt commerce, but they don't have money to continue SNAP benefits to feed the hungry past November 1.

Make it make sense!

I’ve been reposting all of the crowd videos of today’s NO KINGS rallies because at some point they’ll try to say it didn’t happen.

And no one needs permission to do this so the campaigns can be decentralized and targeted to local communities.
There could be solid ICE counter-recruitment campaigns launched to discourage people from working for them and to encourage those working for them to quit. There are lots of examples of such campaigns from anti-war organizing.

/2 The Roberts Court 6-3 majority is best understood not as a genuine or legitimate independent adjudicatory body but as a ceremonial adjunct to the Trump government, like a First Lady or a second-born prince in a constitutional monarchy.

I suspect the Roberts Court will use the Shadow Docket to permit and protect Donald Trump’s use of the National Guard to harass political enemies. Maybe without comment, maybe with something bizarre and otherworldly from Kavanaugh.

Don’t be this person. Don’t be like @boneyardz.bsky.social.

This isn’t just bad advice, it will leave you permanently injured or killed.

Can you hear the words coming out of your mouth, Megan?

Yes, the guy who received so many threats because of your own actions he had to flee to Europe isn’t the real victim. No. You are, because people called you out.

i feel like everything bari weiss does is treated like she's a network exec in 1973 when she's really just a LARPer at the helm of a particularly irrelevant brand while TV news is dying.
New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

Oh, the incredibly competent and honest president promises that he's totally going to give us something that's much better and much cheaper than we already have? Golly, sign me up.
Thune: "The president would like to overhaul Obamacare and give people health insurance that is higher quality and more affordable."

The literal reading of this statement is Pam Bondi is planning extrajudicial executions of random protesters.
My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

a short off the cuff "Courtney Milan explains how the beatings aren't distributed equally when it comes to the amendments SCOTUS likes and doesn't depending on who's arguing.
It's a lot easier to understand what I'm trying to say when I talk about the second amendment if you imagine that I want the second amendment to be about as strong as the current court makes the fourth, and I want the fourth amendment to be about as strong as we make the second.

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.
