mods don't like it when people talk plainly about the only valid kind of accountability that's appropriate for ICE

The term everyone is dancing around is "secret police", a hallmark of totalitarian regimes.

Jared@jaredmcclain.bsky.social

Things got more insane just about as soon as I posted this last night. DHS is now arguing that we cannot even put the names of ICE officers in our lawsuit against those officers. Their position is that, if a defendant works for DHS, they cannot be named in a lawsuit. Never seen anything like it.

Once again charging another futile war to the country's $40 trillion debt balance, Republicans wish nothing more than for you to suffer from the inflation they willfully cause. They'll gleefully force you to pay more for everything because they actively hate the working population of this country.

NBC News@nbcnews.com

The Senate on Thursday rejects a symbolic resolution calling for President Trump to end the U.S. war with Iran, with most Republicans siding with the president despite the war’s unpopularity.

Why should they care if the country goes bankrupt from the trillions THEY add to the debt with their bloated, unauditable military budget and tax cuts, they'll all be dead.

There it is. While you struggle to afford groceries, or find any that are edible, and pay thousands more every year in gas, rent, utilities, childcare, and healthcare, they are laughing all the way to the bank.

This can’t be reformed. It’s not a training issue. The agents who murdered Pretti and Good, and who shot Sosa-Celis have been agents for more than 8 years. I’ll be voting for candidates who support dismantling DHS and abolishing ICE.

"Tonk" is a Border Patrol slur that refers to the sound a metal flashlight makes when used to beat a migrant in the head. And that's the word that Border Patrol agents under the direct command of Greg Bovino were using when bragging about their arrests in Los Angeles last year.

We still have the cultural image that actual Nazis were defeated in the 1940's, and the remaining Nazis are either unemployed basement-dwellers or fringe militias in Idaho. There is still a reluctance by media and business leaders to say openly that the world's wealthiest person is a Nazi.

The ongoing Musk nazi tweets just have me wondering if corporate boards are even a thing anymore

I swear the coffee shop I go to blasts their AC at full power no matter what the temp outside is solely to keep people from camping out on their wifi

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

Seems the real problem centrist democrats are facing right now is the people are being very clear that they want leaders who will solve their biggest problems, and centrist democrats really don't want to solve their biggest problems and hate the people for wanting that. It's a real pickle for them.

Centrists: The people want unity. The People: We are desperate for affordable housing Centrists: They want bipartisan solutions The People: We need livable wages Centrists: Arms across the aisle is what they want The People: We want to organize our labor Centrists: WILL YOU SHUT THE FUC

Establishment Centrist Dems have always been quick to backstab Progressive Democrats, preferring the corporate corruption and elitism of the Republicans over being the Party of the People. But the Party of FDR, AOC, and Zohran Mamdani is what the People want, and they're making that fact very clear.

Matteo reposted

Very much ditto here with the Democrats. Are you young, politically minded, and energetic? Fuck you, all your ideas and beliefs are childish "give everyone a pony" nonsense. Hey, why aren't young people getting involved in politics?

flyingrodent@flyingrodent.bsky.social

This is the thing. I try not to bring up politics with people but I am known as A Politics Guy, and people sometimes ask me my opinion. If I’m asked “why is this Labour government so abysmal”, I’m going to tell people exactly why, and I can be a persuasive person.

Police are the public safety menace they’re alleged to combat. In almost every single case of police brutality, the pigs are the initial aggressors. They only ever create and escalate confrontations, despite whatever bullshit “training” they’re supposed to have received. They’re out for blood.

People need to realize Republicans only want rich white men voting. Every action they take is specifically designed to fuck over everyone but themselves, all while crying wolf that it's actually happening to them.

Democracy Docket@democracydocket.com

NEW: Trump seized on California's slow vote count to push false claims that Democrats are "stealing" the state's primary elections. He also used the assertion to pressure lawmakers to pass the SAVE America Act, which would ban vote by mail — a method voters in the state largely rely on.

Matteo reposted

Nice way of saying we failed in saving money, but we did fuck up your government

Matteo reposted

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

They’re going to say stuff like this all the way till Trump is out of office, the Democrats are going to inherit a terrible economy then they are going to blame the Democrats relentlessly about the stuff they’re currently ignoring. We live in the dumbest country possible 😂😂

Matteo reposted

Very important: large slice of Democratic Elites still think catering to whims of Republican Elite shows good "bipartisanship" & "reaching-across-the-aisle" rather than bad "collaboration" and they need to learn that catering to Republican Elite will no longer be exalted or even tolerated.

Whoever thought it was a good idea to ask SCOTUS to overrule a state court interpreting a state law should never be in a position to make decisions again. Even with 9 liberal justices this wouldn't have worked. They should've just ignored SCOVA and strong-armed the maps like Republicans do.

Abolish ICE is a moderate position

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

here again we see this idea that american citizens do not have rights apart from what their states provide.

Alito, in his dissent, rants about shield laws that allow blue state providers to mail mifepristone into red states like Louisiana. He complains that more abortions occur in Louisiana today than before Dobbs thanks to telemedicine abortion pills. www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

Anti-Black racism has created "fact resistant Americans." I said what I said about people that complained that right-wing news or social media had *suddenly* brainwashed their parents into refusing to mask or get vaccinated. No. Nothing was sudden. They cooked their own brains slowly over decades

Mekka Okereke@mekka.mekka-tech.com

If your parents get most of their news from right-wing news TV over the past 30 years, then they were more likely to believe that: * The election was stolen * Covid was a hoax " Ivermectin works * Vaccines don't * Portland was burned to the ground during BLM marches * Portland is a war zone today

The Bezos Post is essentially becoming Jeff Bezos’ personal blog to whine about people who criticize the idle rich like him. A hit dog will holler. Imagine arguing that hoarding billions of dollars is the peak of “human potential” with a straight face.

Chief Justice Roberts is confused why his "We're not politically corrupt" shirt is raising so many questions answered by his shirt

Lawrence Hurley@lawrencehurley.bsky.social

NEW: Chief Justice John Roberts bemoans that Americans don't understand how the Supreme Court operates and see justices as "political actors". The court at times simply has to make "unpopular" decisions, he adds: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...
