DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

I’m begging lefties and liberals to stop posting things that erase the reality of how violent the US has been to Indigenous people and Black people (among other US populations) ever since its inception and along the way.

PLEASE. Do not copy conservatives by erasing history.

Look, if the cops are justified in killing you because you have a gun on you, then you don't actually have the right to bear arms.

And no one at the NRA wants to address that.

“This was not supposed to happen to white people”

At this point?

Is an open admission that WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT

Because it causes a lot of decisions that were the ACTUAL fail points

Remember this. The cops will protect ICE, but they will not protect you *from* ICE.

Ah, the old trap: If gay people point out that equating oral sex with degradation is homophobic, we're scolds and language police, and that distracts from the real issue, which is that Newsom lacks any internal compass and says whatever he thinks will win him applause or agreement in the moment. >

You could’ve given me hours to guess what he’s talking about here and I never would’ve come up with binder clips.

Dr. King suffered many bouts of severe depression. His autopsy found that he had a heart consistent with a 60 year old. He was murdered at 39. Stress, threats and exhaustion will do that to a person.

We don’t have HOSPITALS in many of our counties, and even fewer have labor and delivery wards. Is the robot just in some random parking lot?

My tomato seeds just sprouted! I haven’t grown something from a seed since elementary school so I’m pretty thrilled :)

It's horrific but also this is pretty much a regular arrest. That's how violent arrests are. I am glad people can see it and be horrified -- that's what police are out there doing every day, legally. Every 3 seconds basically.

Forgive my shortness but I’m over “leaks” and “whistleblowers”

violence happening to people was accepted because we thought they deserved it

We keep. Waiting for something to be leaked like just … not accepting that level of harm for ANYONE wasn’t an option

I really thought I had this figured out by now but apparently I have not tied enough ties to make it into muscle memory yet.

You know it’s the first day of the legislative session in Alabama because I am searching “how to tie a tie” while running out the door.

Kavanaugh asks if the states that *allow* trans athletes are violating the constitutional protection of womens sports. Hurst says his argument doesn't allow them to impose their rules on those states.

You know who else did constitutional protections based on states rights? Antebellum America.

My main point was that U.S. police officers are, one to one, much more violent than U.S. soldiers, and much likelier to commit murder at close range out of anger.

This is really bad. Definitely a decision that is going to actively harm Alabamians

This. If you want to understand how an authoritarian US will function, look to the Deep South.

A reminder to the liberals who hollered “the military won’t follow illegal orders!”

Girl.

They just did.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

The US is invading and occupying Venezuela and I still need to clean my apartment today. I feel insane.

I’m sure there are better examples. I’m just speechless and incoherently angry

“We illegally kidnapped and invaded one country and we’ll do it to you too!”

Hitler’s invasion of Poland was at least a surprise.

why would you even bother getting into elected office to watch democracy go quietly into the night. christ

Hakeem Jeffries takes a bold stand for Trump asking first next time so Dems can exercise their rubber stamp. This is the kind of statement official Russian “opposition” parties run by Putin make.

So we bombed Venezuela and kidnapped the president and his wife (wtf wtf wtf) and at the press conference explaining the war crime we just did, Trump threatened to do the same to Cuba? Have I got that right?

You should’ve seen my face the first time I googled that commenter. I had never heard of him before, and I was prepping for a debate with him. My mouth was on the floor.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

This is what none of the NYT columnists with their diner interviews understand. They are real people, can be selfless and kind, and also fascists, all at the same time.

I cannot believe how effective you are at making me passionately hate you, you have a gift
