You can support gerrymandering more D seats and also say Newsom does not deserve to be president. it's not that hard.
Israel threatening to formalize its already-existing regime of annexation & apartheid over the Palestinians of the occupied West Bank in response to European recognition of the State of Palestine is the diplomatic the equivalent of āif you fire me from my job, then I will go home and beat my kids.ā

Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.

Sex work is 1000% more honorable and socially beneficial than working as an ICE agent.
oh
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you donāt fool me
Residents of Columbia Heights in Washington DC force out ICE agents trying to kidnap their neighbors Absolutely f*cking amazing to see the people standing up to the nazis.
Sure thing! I would totally love to be a sweet rat in a city, just solving puzzles and snoozing

the Israelis are literally speaking like 1930's - 40's German nazi's. they've covered lebensraum and now they're at racial purity

Fascinating and Disturbing Read Tesla said it didnāt have key data in a fatal crash. Then a hacker found it. The critical evidence was presented last month to a jury, which found the company partially liable for the 2019 crash in Key Largo, Florida. Gift link ā¬ļø
Thisā¦ how you sayā¦ sucks?
dunno if it represents change in the larger sense but it's nice to see the mask on dude here slip a little, even performatively real 'had a breakdown, bon appetit' energy
āWe will never be forgiven for what we have helped make happen here. I think people are starting to realize that though.ā ā Graham Platner told Breaking Points, commenting on U.S.ās role in Israelās genocide in Gaza.

Reminder - There was a call for anyone who could to go donate blood in the Twin Cities as there was a critical level of supply. With two mass casualty events in two days those levels are going to be even lower. So anyone who can please donate blood. www.mbc.org/donate-blood...
this little egret is asking the teacher super politely if there is going to be a field trip this semester
that's a great summary
Hey, this rocks
No amount of appearing reasonable and trying to avoid provoking them will stop them from escalating against you. The only thing you'll do is inspire revulsion in everyone else: if you won't even stand up for yourself how can you stand up for anyone else
I cannot type the words I actually want to say, so for now Iāll just hope these people are haunted forever.

Guys, I have a special & unusual request today. My cousin Sean is a union bus driver here in Los Angeles who was just FIRED in retaliation for saying he would not let masked ICE agents onto his bus to abduct riders. The fight is on to get his job back, you can help: actionnetwork.org/letters/send...
Beware anyone who makes vague claims of harm to poor people or minorities to justify their personal position without significant data or the acknowledgment of the tradeoffs inherent to policy
passed by one last week and gave it the 'thumbs down', the driver then sped through traffic to catch up with me and glare at me. that's when I started giving him the finger. his expression was like 'I thought we were done with this hating on me shit??'
A Baptist minister has been arrested in Oxford for holding a placard reading āI oppose genocide. I support Palestine Actionā. Rev Grote of New Road Baptist Church said āI am doing this because of my faith. Iām doing this because Iām a follower of Jesus Christ, who broke the rules and created peace.ā
Hey everyone, youāve been asking me to run for office for a while, so guess what? Iām running for California State Assembly! Now, I donāt like asking for money, but we gotta pay for this somehow, and if everyone throws in $7 weāll have the resources to run one hell of a race, so, uh, do the thing.
Okay! One of the only donations I'm gonna make this season is yours, good luck and kick butt
ā ļø Israel performed a ādouble tapā attack on the only functioning hospital remaining in southern Gaza. After the initial strike on the hospital, journalists and first responders rushed in, and then Israel struck again. Israel killed twenty people, including five journalists, in the strikes.
Everyone's screaming about how the left doesn't compromise and I keep saying I will vote for this guy. I am a communist who will vote for a billionaire. Centrists, tell me about even one instance when you have compromised like anything close to this. Or at all.
WCKās mobile bakery in Gaza is currently producing 45,000 loaves of bread every day. With more supplies, including flour and fuel, we'd be able to more than double that daily output and support more Palestinian families in need. #ChefsForGaza
@lataco.bsky.social feel free to grab this for your video roundup, the protest was at the Elysian Park Home Depot ā

I told a woman at my hostel that I'm a comedian and she asked me if I was famous. I said not really, and she said, "you must be if you're traveling for shows" and I said "I must not be if I'm staying at this hostel for shows."
this movie looks like it was made for eight dollars
my priorities
DC residents should not be ordering delivery right now. Period.
F*ckā¼ļø Fort Bliss Army base used for a WWII Japanese internment is now the nation's largest ICE detention center.
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: āI have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.ā
If you actually thought that the president was sending troops into the streets of major American cities and having random masked shitheads disappear delivery guys off scooters to distract from grocery prices being higher, I feel like you'd seem angrier about all that than Hakeem Jeffries does.
Awesome ā will do!
Did you sign up with the therapy egg app or the therapy chicken app, it's confusing
I made a promise to the women of Illinois ā as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own. Now, we continue fulfilling that promise. Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.
@shing.bsky.social just signed up for a care package! and a question: do you have an editor for your film? I realize it's a long ways off, just wanted to ask
'Neat!' my Wisconsin mom, lovingly
the problem for Ds right now is not winning elections. they are doing fine at winning elections. the problem is what happens *between elections.* as in, if you don't fight fascism between elections, election outcomes start not to matter. 1
It's always always about the image and the narrative. The administration wasn't about to let this guy show them up. They have to win. In case anyone out there still thinks this administration is gonna allow a loss at the ballot box in the midterms or in 2028.
**taps watch insistently**
Had a chance to stop a member of the Guard and ask whether they carried any guidance on their person about Posse Comitatus Act (and/or a list of "exceptions" like the troops in LA were given per DOJ). He didn't seem sure what PCA is but did show me this doc he had in his pocket on rules of force.
another korean american has been detained by ICE, a violinist named john shin from utah. he was allowed one 30-second phone call to his wife and they havenāt heard from him since.
This is so importantā¦ Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and sheās finding they donāt match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tacticsājust like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov š§µ

The Coast Guard works for ICE now. Coast Guard planes previously used for search and rescue have done hundreds of secret ICE flights in recent weeks, including two I watched from a public parking lot near BWI. My exclusive for Rolling Stone: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
WATCH: Ghislaine Maxwell says Trump was "never inappropriate with anybody in the times I was with him." In the same interview, she says she never saw Jeffrey Epstein engage in "unconsensual" behavior.

THIS is how to report this storyā¤µļø Any news outlet writing credulous social posts, headlines and/or news stories about this Ghislaine Matthews āinterviewā without these facts & context is doing trump propaganda, not journalism.
ICE, DC Police, Park Police, DHS, and HSI brutally arrested a man who refused to provide identification after being stopped for eating in public. Goons attempted to stop community members from recording his injuries during the incident.
I am going to say this again is clearly as I can. For well over a decade both in public and in private, the Republicans have said that their goal is to take over blue cities and states as they see them as enemy territory to be conquered by force. The Republicans are waging war against the country.
My gf (born in 85) has a Big Dogs outlet mall t-shirt she wears around LA and we see a ton of other millennials rocking them, it's all coming back
i think people need a refresher on what constitutes a Distraction. the cracker barrel logo thing (zero stakes, obviously invented controversy) is a Distraction. the ongoing military occupation of washington dc (ample footage of random delivery drivers being violently detained by feds) is not
I can be a friend to my friends and respect their individual interests and fascinations ā but I can also succumb to my momās horrible knee-jerk tendency to share any and all news and posts relevant to those interests with a copy paste efficiency that borders on sociopathy. Both things can be true

idk - branding humans like cattle, chaining them to dead bodies, feeding them to each other, filling them with gunpowder then blowing them up, burying them alive for insects to eat -- it being so bad mothers killed their children and people jumped from ships to drown seems, like, super bad dude

In Middleton, NY. This guy probably saved his neighbors from Trump's masked thugs. This is how you firmly assert your rights and stand up for our communities.
Need elected Dems to be out ahead of what is, charitably, the in-house magazine for 2016-era NeverTrump Republicans. The existence of this suggests there's no bipartisan support for such an act but that's because everyone on board has already sorted themselves into voting for Dems so they do this.
