❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Hi Minnesota! I am a journalist working with Mother Jones. I am riding around in a white GMC with Florida plates DS84GJ. I am not ICE!

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

In other news, water confirmed to be wet.

Software developers write their apps how *they* want it to work, rather than how their users *want* them to work. When they get pushback from the users, the reaction is always the same - the user is wrong. Which is why the extension and modding communities exist.

Question - if wealth taxes don’t work and raise only paltry amounts, how come whenever we start seriously discussing them rich people start pouring resources into trying to start race and class wars as a distraction?

I've got lots of things to say about Jeremy Clarkson. Really not worth it. He knows his game is over and so is resorting to personal attacks. Piss him off instead and Join.greenparty.org.uk

No-one over here will care about this, Drag is literally part of our cultural heritage. Someone should take Chaya to a Pantomime, and tell her that that millions of British parents will take their kids to one this winter - hopefully her head will explode.

Thou shalt not shoot priests in the head. I shouldn’t have to say this.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position This is what white supremacy looks like

It’s normal to be scared of scary things.

He said give him a call.😂

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Since Fox News has not fired Brian Kilmeade, I assume that Fox News advocates extermination of the homeless.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before. Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

Healthcare in the USA is so expensive that not one single CNN journalist can afford cataract surgery, apparently.

It's all part of a push by the Religious Right to take us back to the era where workers had no rights, women stayed in the kitchen and had babies, and LGBT people and "foreigners" were reviled and discriminated against. This is impossible right now, due to the pesky ECHR. So they need it gone.

It's really not difficult, USA. We've been doing this stuff for a *looong* time...

Thought for the day: If everyone stopped voting for "the lesser of two evils", maybe fewer corrupt, lying, and evil politicians would actually run for office. We literally get the quality of politician that we deserve.

My therapist suggested that I write letters to all the people who have wronged me and then throw them into a big fire. I did that, and I do feel better, but I don’t know what I am supposed to do with all these letters.

Prediction: At some point in the near future, thanks to the Online Safety Act, a scammer running a bogus Age/Identity Verification company will commit mass bank account/credit card fraud.

When I said we'd smash the gangs, I meant the gangs of old ladies holding cardboard signs.
