This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4

DEVELOPING: ICE agents in Los Angeles are nothing but state-sanctioned thugs. One sprinted from behind a fence, tackled a protester, and the pack unloaded on bystanders with “less lethal” rounds. Then they dragged him across 4 lanes of traffic like prey. This is organized brutality.
Labor Day #WorkersOverBillionaires march gets underway at the Inner Harbor ...
Around 10 ICE agents showed up at Malcolm X Park to detain an unarmed man peacefully sitting on a bench. Wouldn't it be great to see them raking leaves instead of harassing innocent, harmless people and using the National Guard for free maintenance labor? What a total disgrace. #OnYourSide
Him liking Bowser is the kiss-of-death for her political future
Meet Candon Dahle, Why isn't he not in jail for life? Bingham County Idaho THIS CHILD RAPIST was sentence to 180 days in jail for raping a 7 year old girl for 5 years, part of the plea deal was that he would not have to register as a sex offender. WOW: (white privilege )
I hope you understand that if you show up at a hospital with an infection no one has ever seen before that the US had somewhere you could call. That place would answer, offer testing you can’t get anywhere else and come visit you to solve if necessary.

I think birthday cakes are a must, but they say "we care greatly about the health of our community and respectfully ask that you do NOT donate soda, cakes, cookies, or candy, as we will not provide these goods to our participants." I think the local homeless shelters do celebrate birthdays though
Our local food pantry tosses donated sweets so if you donate that kind of thing, they don't make it to the people who come to the pantry
Putin and Xi. This visit, coming right after Alaska, helps Putin sell the illusion of normalized international relations back home. That boost to his domestic propaganda machine means one thing: more Ukrainians will die.

The strikes on Nasser Hospital in Gaza killed at least 20 people. An NYT visual analysis calls into question what the Israeli military was initially targeting there, and why its troops attacked a second time, killing first responders and journalists.
Masked ICE raids are terrorizing DC streets. Neighbors refuse silence. They film, shout, collect names, and walk kids to school. Mutual aid is real safety when leaders stay quiet. This article shows a city defending itself against occupation.
It took cops three hours to finally go into the Pulse nightclub the night of the shooting. If you wander near a crosswalk in Florida with a piece of chalk right now you'll have four cops on you in under five seconds.🤷♂️
Yes, that makes sense
As our neighbors vanish daily, this serves as a meaningful way to honor them and highlight the extent of this issue throughout the city’s
What do you want the public to do? They're not ICE, you know. Their faces aren't covered, they aren't snatching people. The National Guard has been taken away from their families and their jobs and they are not doing what they signed up for, which is to help people in emergencies.
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

Russ Vought said he wanted civil servants “traumatically affected” and to lose the will to work. Now Rubio puts him in charge of closing out USAID. This is not reform. It is the final nail in the coffin of American generosity and America’s standing in the world.
Every time they do that, color in a different one that they are not watching. Repeat as often as necessary. They can't watch every single crosswalk in the city.
RFK, Jr. is not keeping us safe and is not the guy for this job.

Russian and Chinese companies are flooding American advertising spaces with AI-produced commercials for their cheap, scammy products. This is what happens when you install a Russian spy as President who bows to Technofascists gutting protective agencies.
A fortuneteller says: “You will die on a national holiday.” The tyrant asks: “How do you know?”
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
South Korea's former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo has been indicted for aiding ex-president Yoon's attempted coup last year, joining Yoon's wife, defense minister, military leaders, and police who have all been arrested. America, this is how to hold an entire administration accountable for treason.
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
Don’t look away
So many bigger things today. But I am still seething about the RFK thing about fluoride. It’s not new or remotely the worst thing today. But I have pretty great and functional teeth despite growing up low income with no insurance thanks to fluoride and I swear his ilk just want people to suffer.
Meiselas: I saw a headline, “Trump Stamps Dictator Chic on Washington.” And they don't even see the problem with that. I feel like one of the last survivors sometimes in a zombie movie, where the zombie hasn’t gotten me yet.

People should be pissed that our tax dollars are going away from cancer research, protecting people from disasters, and other society benefitting things to these displays put on to please the King. All of the redecorations, the parades, his private planes - not a single “how can we afford it”

🚨ICE agents are racially profiling and arresting Hispanic drivers in the DC area today, targeting work vehicles like trucks and vans. A friend who was targeted sent me video today. Here’s a picture that shows one of two agents before he pulled on his mask. Unmarked black Ford truck, plate: NTV9211.
If there's a "crime wave" in the United States as POTUS claims, I wonder how much of it is because he pardoned 1500 rioters who tried to destroy the Capitol on Jan. 6?
Remember: it’s never just a job or a paycheck if it’s helping erase the existence of human beings. No paycheck is worth that much.
The death tall in russian attack on Kyiv has risen to 17. Including 4 children. Russia desires peace so much that it murders sleeping families.
Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again

It needs to be illegal for politicians of any party to receive donations from foreign powers or the agents thereof or from companies that lobby for them or have a financial interest that they might promote.

ICE keeps people from feeling safe. Is that what they're talking about? Guns being rampant? Republican pedophiles?

No one will mail packages here. They’re going to get rid of covid vaccines. People no longer monitor weather, disease outbreaks, keep an eye on food quality, or have research funding to save lives.
He can't wait til he can grab anyone he wants by labeling them a domestic terrorist, which is entirely defined by him.
Lisa Cook is ALLEGED to have committed crimes by a man who was CONVICTED of 34 felonies. Due process matters. A country based on the rule of law that attracts foreign capital because of that promise should be steadfast in opposition to her termination.

BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order instructing prosecutors to go after protesters who desecrate the American flag. The Supreme Court has been clear: Desecrating the flag, including by burning it, is protected by the First Amendment.

It is awful, but I still venture there sometimes because it's a good place to give things away.
He says he's ended 10 wars, but he can't get this one stopped even though Putin is his best friend. Weird.
A man at Trump’s golf club used an American flag as a drape covering for Trump “art,” then wadded it up in front of Trump, and then placed it in a chair behind him. Trump was so concerned about flag desecration that he didn’t say anything about it.
They think they're one of the "good guys" and the people being treated cruelly are "bad." I wish I knew how to fix that.
Has he been in anything recently? Not sure what to boycott because he doesn't look familiar. If he's so eager to be a bad guy, maybe he'll join ICE when he gets back
I haven't seen anyone anywhere wearing JD Vance clothes or waving a JD Vance flag or attending JD Vance rallies, which is why I think it would be better to have him as prez. He doesn't draw the loyalty.
