I really believe that huge majorities of Americans don’t want masked soldiers shooting priests in the street. They don’t want naked children ripped out out of their apartments in the middle of the night and handcuffed. We win by making sure these stories get told.

The same people who insisted devout Catholic Joe Biden was leading a “war on Christianity” are now cheering Trump on as his armed goons assault clergymen.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

This *will* happen and in most of our lifetimes. Pinochet was arrested. The Argentinian junta were tried and convicted. It should happen as soon as Dems retake power, it might take longer, but the ICE/MAGA trials are going to take place.

Let’s fast forward to when these ICE fuckers are all on trial for their crimes against humanity and the Constitution.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

With apologies, because it’s scary, because it really is scary: latest in my project of messing with stills from ICE vids. Stylizing them to sharpen the focus on the aesthetic project of fascist terror. Chicago today, aiming at a protester named Jess, for documenting him.

Stop private equity from buying single-family homes.

Instead, give young Americans low-interest mortgages & downpayment help to buy them.

Homes for young families, not Wall Street.

That’s new economic patriotism.

ICE has committed so much crime they are the criminals.

“You don’t need to have your identity protected... You should not have a mask on your face.”

@karaswisher.bsky.social and @profgalloway.com argue that if judges aren’t wearing masks, neither should ICE agents.

I was told not to teach a class on the intellectual histories of Zionism and Anti-Zionism next year - not because they doubted I could teach it fairly, but because it would attract too many politicians scrutinizing the syllabus.

A society where that is a valid fear is no longer fully democratic.

Blue states need to band together to protect immigrants, science, health, and our values. Some of this is happening already, we just need to face what more we can and must do www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
It’s time for soft secession

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Pt1 🧵: Greta Thunberg deported to Athens says, "There's a live-streamed Genocide in front of our eyes in Gaza. No one will be able to say they didn't know this was happening. The Global Samud Flotilla only existed because our leaders failed. Our international systems are betraying Palestinians."

Judaism is, at its core, about truth and justice, standards to which we all have to hold ourselves, even at great cost. Otherwise, we are no better than the bystanders in Nazi Germany.

I think the term has applied for a long time, but I also don’t understand why people are being so harsh with her. Terminology aside, I think her message was pretty strong more than two months ago.

Among contenders, I think she was pretty early to the right side of this:

When I look at my daughter, and I look at the photos and videos we see coming out of Gaza, I am gutted. The humanitarian crisis is indefensible.

Here’s what I believe needs to happen:

Again, with a completely hostile media environment, over half of Americans have come to see the truth about what Israel is doing in Gaza. It's genuinely quite remarkable.

Between Weiss and Ellison it certainly feels like the media environment is going to continue its drift away from popular opinion on the question of Israel/Palestine

Oregonian: "She complied but was hurling curse words and insults at the two officers in front of her when a third agent wearing a gas mask approached her. Within 10 seconds, the officer directed a canister at the 19-year-old’s face and doused her with chemical spray."
Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows
The anti-ICE protester, 19, was hurling insults but standing still when she was sprayed.

BREAKING: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signs executive order mandating “ICE FREE ZONES.”

The order prohibits ICE from using any City owned property & invites local biz & community orgs to join citywide efforts to safeguard the inalienable rights of every Chicagoan.

This Is Leadership! Let’s Go!

I think it’s OK to float test balloons in the public square here. And also fine to criticize, of course.

We’re all finding our way forward in the dark now.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...
