When you're a paramilitary force, they let you do it

BREAKING: Hundreds gathered at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach to form a human banner reading “It Was Murder 🇺🇸 ICE Out,

Fucking hell - we knew shit like this would happen.

NEW: MAYOR FREY: “They are already trying to spin this as an act of self defense. I’ve seen the video myself and I want to tell everybody directly; that is bullshit.”

Then they were the only ones surprised.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head. That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Just last week we introduced a bill to pay all federal workers through the shutdown, and it was not even given a vote. Republicans came down and stopped unanimous consent."

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵 As a response to the 1967 Detroit Riot, a controversial police unit known as STRESS (Stop the Robberies Engage Safe Streets) was establised that targeted Black people.(cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory newrepublic.com/article/1417...

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

looking into the article, important part to it is this was initiated by italian unions, making it possible to organize such action at all. which reinforces for what and why such union restrictions exist in america. keeping labor down doesn't just generate wealth, it also suppresses other movements.

This is the Democratic Party’s suicide. Schumer and Jeffries are out of touch and letting it happen. This is failed leadership and the country deserves better. @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Watch ICE shoot everyone with everything indiscriminately: Bro was shot up 🤬

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

A CoreCivic detention facility quietly opened in CA’s Mojave Desert even though it failed a fire department inspection and lacks required permits. It can house 3,500 people www.kqed.org/news/1205454...

Thank you to Catie Laffoon and Memo Torres @lataco.bsky.social for following the prison bus and filming the illegally-opened Mojave Desert detention facility. Shut this down! They didn’t pass fire inspection, missing other permits @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

Honestly love that the vibe here on a late Friday night going into the last weekend of summer is “gosh I really hope he’s dead, we’re gonna throw one hell of a party”

Now we know why Kristi Noem sits like a stupid statue at Congressional hearings. Instead of doing her job and managing DHS, she’s going around with camera crews making promos for herself 🤦‍♂️

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

NEW— ICE vehicles chased a landscaping truck through Takoma Park, MD, on Monday about a mile from DC, which ended with the truck crashing on someone’s lawn and narrowly missing another car, multiple residents confirm to me. Video shows ICE going into a backyard to find/arrest the men from the truck.

“Nobody’s talking about Rockbridge, and that’s exactly how they want it.” Ashley on the Private Club for Billionaires where Vance, Thiel, etc. map out the right-wing takeover 🇺🇸

Does America realize all of the Medical Research they have Cancelled? Americans will start dying younger and of diseases once eradicated or that Scientists were close to curing until they were Cancelled by this administration.

it is genuinely insane how the entirety of DC has moved past this president firing the CJCS for being black and the CNO *and* Commandant of the Coast Guard for being women

This is bullshit. Not only do ICE bounty hunters refuse to identify themselves, they won’t say where they’re taking the people they’re kidnapping. Deliberately shuffling detainees from facility to facility so families can’t find them & they miss their chance at legal counsel. (Anaheim, CA)

I do not want to hear republicans say they give a damn about national security. AI is NOT at the point where it can replace people doing this kind of analysis. www.nextgov.com/cybersecurit...

PEN America: "Paramount’s decision to settle a meritless lawsuit... is a spineless capitulation." "This was a moment to defend press freedom and support reporters targeted by a frivolous legal attack," said Tim Richardson, journalism and disinformation program director. pen.org/press-releas...

🧵 1/2 US citizen tackled by ICE in downtown LA—for filming them harassing street vendors. They pinned him face-down, punched him, & then left him seizing on the street. When his family tried to intervene, they were shoved & threatened. The man never touched an ICE thug. Video in 2 parts

Sure, that will totally make the protests stop..... </sarcasm>

It is firmly in the “somebody’s making an active decision to downplay this” territory.

PALM SPRINGS, CA -- “There’s some people who want to oppress. We choose to empower," Palm Springs Police Chief Andy Mills said to the crowd. "There are some trying to instill fear based use of police tactics. We choose to bring hope and compassion.” #nokings #peace #hope

When I tell you Los Angeles is an occupied city/county, this is what I mean… Yesterday, ICE agents showed up to a regular Saturday swap meet with armed Marines and a military helicopter overhead, like it’s a fucking war zone.

👨‍✈️ ☠️ 🚔 PLAN for OFFICE of REMIGRATION 🚩 🚦 REMIGRATION is a FAR RIGHT plan to MASS DEPORT non-WHITE immigrants to their place of RACIAL ANCESTRY…🚦 REGARDLESS of CITIZENSHIP 🚫 ‼️ It’s a POLICY “with the GOAL of creating WHITE ETHNOSTATES in western countries. 👺 www.mediamatters.org/immigration/...

They already purged those who would object, the JAGs, the experienced leaders. . .

From failing to recommend the measles vaccine to citing non-existent studies, RFK Jr. is unfit to be our HHS Secretary. I’m calling for him to resign.

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

"We are speaking on behalf of hundreds of NIH staff who are standing up together to say: WE DISSENT. I am so scared about doing this but I am trying to be brave for my kids because it's only gonna get harder to speak up." Thank you to Dr. Jenna Norton and NIH scientists for your courage!
