Philly DA is clear about ICE committing crimes.
“I’ll charge you with those crimes, you’ll be arrested, you’ll stand trial, you’ll be convicted, whether it’s in state or federal court and you’ll do your time because DT cannot pardon you for a state court conviction. “

This is the energy we need….

with the donorcrats in control, it's less an opposition party than a consolidation party
democrats will now sieze this moment to run surreptitious damage control on behalf of the regime, plead for bipartisanship and moving forward as americans together, unified, and triangulate us into a position that's just to the right of where we were the day before Renee Good was executed

yeah, Thatcher's comment very much sprang to mind when I was posting on the antisocial-ism of anti-socialism earlier
Margaret Thatcher famously declared that there is no such thing as society, and it's long past due for society to push back against these ghouls who are unprepared for it.
MAGA is defined by its total lack of a theory of mind for its enemies, and the fact that DHS and ICE still haven't wrapped their brains around the fact that their opponents also are able to highly effectively use the Internet to message, organize, and communicate really highlights that.

This is so important because A) she did it in response to Benedict Wong, a far more prominent actor, saying he's listening to the audiobooks a lot and B) did it unprompted, she specifically stopped the fluff interview to draw the comparison to the themes of their film and support trans people.
You’ve got to love how actress Kelly Marie Tran, one of the most harassed people ever to be on the internet, still leapt up to defend trans people in a recent interview. No one would blame her for keeping her head down and shutting up forever but she will NOT and I admire her for it ⭐

I may have a stroke.

Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”

A PROTESTant.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

This judge does the thing quoting the Declaration of Independence at the Trump regime then adds for good measure: "Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power & the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds & are bereft of human decency."

Rob has been the only Evangelical I’ve run into who has been actively in the streets to witness, pray, and be a body on the frontline in the streets of Minneapolis.

I hope you watch this.
He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it.

Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.

Mamdani is a revelation in US politics because for most of my lifetime every Democrat has internalised the message that they must be apologetic for being a public servant. They communicate within the Republican frame that government is implicitly a Bad Thing.

Zohran is proud of his role, dammit.
Mamdani made a 90 sec. video discussing when and how the roads would be plowed, crediting the workforce that makes it possible, reminding owners they must shovel, reminding trash may be delayed, saying there’d be a decision about school by noon, and telling kids it’s fine to hit him with snowballs.

Heads Up Minneapolis!

MAGA propagandists Cam Higby, Kevin Posobiec & Hailey West have been spotted undercover otg & filming people today.

They mean to twist your anger & sorrow into demonization. Avoid or nonviolently, but firmly, demand they leave. The less content you give them, the better.

Now you see, this is problematic, because the urge to pet one and give scritches and snuggles is overwhelming.
Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

Hey—Hot Tip/Nth-thousandth Reminder: There are people who actively seek to destabilize and destroy consensus reality and knowledge-making for their own gain, whether through "AI" or any number of other propaganda processes and tools, and you shouldn't let them anywhere near power, ever, ever again.
The White House posted an AI-altered picture of an ICE protester under arrest, made to look like she was sobbing remorsefully.

The episode reveals something deeply disturbing about the unrestrained sadism of MAGA and this moment in American politics.

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.

Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

🧵 but this point in particular
If I buy a biro, Bic doesn't care if I use it to write a masterpiece or snort bath salts. The sale is made.

If the AI bros can add a user to a spreadsheet as proof they should get more venture capital, that's the end result as far as they're concerned.

But at least with Bic you get a biro.
