So true. People who believe this are used to white privilege allowing them to "convince" the cops of their innocence. They can't even imagine having to use civil liberties to defend themselves. "It'd never happen" they think, which makes them unlikely to defend the constitution for self or other.

The GOP/Confederacy/MAGA has launched a new study aimed at estimating the IQ of the American public!

They really are just openly trying to buy votes now. Trump says every adult American will get a $5,000 “Trump dividend”, but only if Republicans win both the House and Senate in November.

Unless you think this kind of thing would be "ok" in the U.S. please get up off the couch, join a local resistance organization that's networked with others, donate to legal orgs defending immigrants, the Constitution, and democracy. Do it now.

For those curious about how this works: a captured executive branch, a Congress filled with loyalists, a rewritten Constitution, an illegitimate election after putting all viable opponents in jail. Designs for one-party rule long into the future.

Victory: a federal court ruled today that voting rights groups can continue their challenge to President Trump’s executive order restricting mail voting. The court reiterated, “The President plays no role in the regulation of elections” and that his mandate to USPS is unconstitutional.

@jaketapper.bsky.social Is this your career niche? Attacking the Bidens while letting the Trumps just cavort around ripping off the American taxpayers and using their connections to raise money from rich people around the world? Pick a side. Or is that it?

The trump regime wants to build an ICE detention camp in Gilroy, CA. We already know that confining people without due process based on their nation of origin or their ethnicity/race is wrong!! This is the WWII concentration camp at Amache, CO which held my dad as a California public h.s. student.

KTVU FOX 2@ktvufox2.bsky.social

California AG Rob Bonta announced a lawsuit against the Trump administration to block an ICE detention center in Gilroy.

Great grassroots advancement! When there is a need that is not being addressed, the grassroots will rise up! This united effort is an inspiring and hopeful event. May it win many allies and help change the balance of power in the favor of humanity, peace, and justice for Palestinians.

(RNS) — The Jewish Diaspora Movement, launched Monday (May 18), consists of 40 groups, mostly in North America, that are united in their rejection of Israel’s ethno-nationalist Judaism.

Who knows, but I suspect that the problem may not be individual SW incompetence but it may be due to policy that emphasized family reunification too strongly and didn't institutionalize due diligence for critiquing the qualifications of family members.

The death of the child, who family member say had been involved with the child welfare agency since he was born nearly two months prematurely with signs of fetal alcohol syndrome, has caused an outcry among child advocates and civil rights…

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

My friend @rokhanna.bsky.social is absolutely right. When the President of the United States threatens genocide against millions of innocent people, Democratic leadership should stand in clear moral opposition — not hide behind procedure.

People who excuse trump for everything/anything: "well, boys will be boys," or "grifters will be grifters," or "pedophiles will be pedophiles." As if trump is in a class by himself and can't be held accountable to social, political, and moral norms. We're supposed to laugh it off. No thanks.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.social

On Fox News, interviewing the interviewer. Decide for yourself.

Yeah, why should the president be shielded from accountability? Why should the president claim that his unnecessary, pointless war means that the government cannot afford to pay for childcare? Do the commandments say Christians must go along with this and take leadership from a murderous liar?

Rev. Benjamin Cremer@brcremer.bsky.social

Dear Christian, If you’re demanding that the Ten Commandments be put up in public schools, but you’re not holding this president or his administration accountable to a single one of them, please don’t act like you actually take them seriously.

AOC: They wanted to issue this statement as though we’re just going after these 30-year-old men on Medicaid playing video games in their basement, right? This was the narrative that we heard. First of all, I think everyone should have healthcare in America, regardless of who you are

S. Hayase reposted

People who have been provided with guns and federal authority who are acting out a video game and harming people must be held accountable. The hiring and supervising persons must also be held accountable. Charge those suckers! Impeach Noem! Charge her, too!

Asha Rangappa@asharangappa.bsky.social

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

This should not be hard to understand. If we created a system, we should be able and willing to dismantle it when it proves that it cannot stop itself from committing atrocities.

Countering Trump’s decision to pull the U.S. out of the World Health Organization, California is the first American state to join the @who.int’s Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network. With GOARN, we’ll keep working to help protect Californians from public health threats.

Abolishing ICE is the most reasonable, logical, and effective thing to do. There is no training people who were recruited via fascistic promises that they would have the opportunity to brutalize immigrants.
