"Just as police tracked civil rights, Black Power, feminist, and anti-war protesters in the 1960s and ‘70s, today they snoop on organizers taking a stand against ICE, Israel’s war on Palestine, and Atlanta’s Cop City."

A federal appeals court ruled that Mississippi had to redraw its legislative maps. As a result, 14 districts affected by the new boundaries are hosting special elections this November. Democrats may flip several.

I went ahead and did the starting work for someone who wants to chase this angle. Most right-wing influencers who participated in the "Antifa" roundtable at the White House yesterday have easily provable ties to TPUSA (8 of 12). The other four need a closer look I don't have time for right now.

Here's the clip

Interesting insights into thoughts on mass deportation in a @nytimes.com poll:

1. The message that ICE is out of control is getting through—by 9 points, people say the *process* has been "mostly unfair."
2. Despite this, people say ICE is deporting "people who should be deported" also by 9 points.

Credit where credit is due. The Democrats' message that the GOP shut down the government because they want to throw millions of people off healthcare has broken through. Two of my cousins who are NOT AT ALL tuned into national politics told me that this is why the government is shut down.

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY AT ICE

Embarrassed for anyone who is legitimately scared of Portland, Oregon.

Alternative, also accurate headline could be: commander in chief of world’s largest military does not understand how a cell phone works

Most Americans don’t want to kill other people.

But social conditioning is powerful. Propaganda is powerful.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking it couldn’t happen here.

This is why we have to defend trans people and immigrants. This is why we don’t cede ground.

if we do somehow beat the odds and make it to the other side of this, it won’t be because of senators, judges, governors or corporate execs, but millions of Americans collectively summoning some bravery and integrity and guts and donning the frogsuit to troll these shitheads. See you in the streets

Thank you Chicago

“I don’t know whether these people believe that this is true or not. But I’m not so sure that they care, because it serves a narrative they’re trying to promote.”

Sums up about everything coming from our federal government rn.

This is fascism.

I can't emphasize enough how much everyone being like "nah" can shift the whole thing. If we all collectively said "nah" today, this whole thing would begin screeching to a halt.

The issue here is you got folks trying to sympathize with bigots and the messes with all of us saying "nah".

Across the country, people keep asking the same question: "What do we do now?"

And my answer is always the same: UNIONIZE.

meta suspended my instagram account today, no reason given, just directed to look at "Community Standards"

Letter from the editor: To tell protesters, ‘don’t take the bait,’ in the face of Trump’s attacks on Portland, both misses the point and ignores the reality many Oregonians face. “This regime isn’t fishing with bait. It’s fishing with dynamite,” writes @k-rambo.bsky.social

“Eliminate them from the existence of American society.”

This violent rhetoric is deliberate. Noem is a fascist in a fascist regime that wants to criminalize and ultimately kill its political opposition.

Among the endless fire hose of news, there was an interesting nugget buried in Mayor Keith Wilson's statement today.

The city of Portland is considering taking over the lease of the ICE facility and the city said it has no intention of being ICE's landlord.

"Nathan Thurm but shorter, and with a weird fake accent" is a perfect description of Andy Ngo as I experienced him face-to-face.
