Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Swalwell: You better believe that accountability is coming. Immunity is going to be stripped. And to Kristi Noem, Tom “Cashbag” Homan, Greg Bovino—your asses are going to be in these witness chairs.

True for all time:
The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.
Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

Violent revolt isn’t needed against a mere 30,000 ICE agents. That’s all they have. They are rotating among Blue cities to try and appear scarier. There are 400,000,000 people in the US and just 30,000 Nazi thugs on puppy killer’s payroll. What if a hacker cut off their paychecks for a while?

Historically, we've focused a lot on the brutal actions of authoritarian regimes, and today is no different.
Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

Ok. Better hope no members of the Gestapo ever need medical care when they’re out in public then. Cuz I’m pretty sure they’ll have a hard time finding a member of the public to help them. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE goons today, and not being allowed to go near her. The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics present

AFAIK, in 200 years, only 3 times did a country elect someone who had attempted a coup:
- Louis Napoleon (France, 1848)
- Adolf Hitler (Germany, 1933)
- Hugo Chavez (Venezuela, 1998)
Each one became dictator. I think we will be the first exception, but it's not something you screw around with.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

“I want every single person who was in the hallway charged,” Velma Duran, whose sister Irma was killed in the shooting, told the AP. “My sister put her body in front of those children to protect them, something they could have done. They had the means and the tools to do it. My sister had her body.”
Family members of the victims in Uvalde are angry that only two of 376 officers face charges.
As the first trial begins, prosecutors shed light on why they singled out Adrian Gonzales: He knew the gunman’s location before he entered the school and failed to act.

Trump looks at Putin's Russia -- a failed and decaying state with a ruined economy engaged in perpetual wars of conquest that benefit only a dictator and his cronies -- and asks: How can I make the United States like that?
Trump just said "all" of Venezuela's oil must be made accessible to US oil companies. Trump wants to emulate Putin's model: Authoritarian, expansionist rulers carving up their regions and distributing the spoils of conquest to friendly oligarchs. 1/
