Trump’s New Threats to American Elections The reasons to worry about election integrity are becoming more urgent.

"Since May 2025, the DOJ has ordered 44 states and the District of Columbia to hand over voter rolls, though it has no statutory right to them. Many states, including Minnesota, have resisted." And other ricochets of the Big Lie.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

The image is a political meme contrasting two different incidents and how the individuals involved were perceived in various media and political spheres. The two individuals in the image are Alex Pretti and Kyle Rittenhouse. Left Image: Alex Pretti. The man on the left, identified as Alex Pretti, was an ICU nurse who was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis in January 2026 after intervening during an immigration enforcement action. Reports indicate he was trying to help a woman being detained and pepper-sprayed by agents. Various sources and eyewitness videos suggest he was unarmed at the time of the shooting, holding a phone, and not acting violently. The label "Domestic terrorist" in the meme reflects how some government and law enforcement statements initially attempted to portray him. Right Image: Kyle Rittenhouse. The person on the right is Kyle Rittenhouse, who at age 17 shot and killed two men and wounded a third during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020. He was later acquitted of all charges on the grounds of self-defense. The phrase "Nice young man" in the meme refers to comments made by then-President Donald Trump, who used that description when discussing Rittenhouse's actions.

This is America

My father, and a few million other young men of his generation, put their lives on the line. Over 400,000 of them died to rid the world of the same kind of fascist poison that now dominates within the Republican party. How is this even possible?

Somewhere in America there is a little girl hiding in an attic writing in her diary about ICE.

This!!!

There's no difference between Republicans and Democrats.
Wake up America, you are living in a lawless dictatorship

Karoline Leavitt Gets Awkward Reminder After Complaining That Protesters Are Flashing Their Middle Fingers At ICE

We have the receipts, Karoline.

During negotiations on the homeland security bill, Republicans rejected a series of proposals by Democrats to rein in ICE, including barring funds from being used to to detain or deport U.S. citizens. Democrats succeeded in winning the addition of $20 million for purchasing body cameras for ICE agents.

Republicans have blocked every proposal to rein in ICE, but they're happy to let Democrats spend your tax money to equip ICE mercenaries with body cameras. Why? Because they know body cams won't restrain ICE any more than they do cops:

Don't try to reform ICE. Abolish them.

The Illegitimacy of Violence, the Violence of Legitimacy What is violence? Who gets to define it? Does it have a place in the pursuit of liberation? This discussion never takes place on a level playing field.

Throwing tear gas canisters back to police protects people from harm.

Denouncing those who throw them back as “violent” gives police a free hand to do worse.

This week, we'll be adding our zine "The Illegitimacy of Violence, the Violence of Legitimacy" to mail orders.

EVERY UNION DROP THE COPS TODAY

They watched Israel do this with every Palestinian they killed for two years and so they never imagined it wouldn't work

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

You sure that’s the most indefensible part Matt

Deaths, detentions and deportations of American citizens in the second Trump administration - Wikipedia

Even when there’s no accountability, the record matters. Credit to the Wikipedia editors maintaining this page.

I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border.

Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE).

Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.

When we talk about people murdered by ICE, we shouldn't forget Keith Porter, a black man who was shot by ICE on new years eve

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

The reason why you don’t know how to process what is happening is because you found it permissible when you were under the illusion it could only happen to other people.

Three bullet wounds IN HIS BACK? They shot him in the back. Three times.

#FuckTrump

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I listened to your show, where you took calls from UK veterans and their families. It broke me. Their grief and pain was so visceral. I hope Starmer finally finds his spine and stands up for his countrymen against the orange numpty. It's time.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Sabrina Carpenter replies to WH video: This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.

Pop star Sabrina Carpenter slams the White House for using “Juno” in an ICE arrest video:

“This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

This story sums up Trump: No need for evidence. No need for laws or treaties. No need for discussions. If Trump decides (based upon whatever random information or maybe just heartburn) that someone is in the wrong, he believes he has the right to kill them.

The US is now a rogue nation.

So am I.

The family of a Colombian man believed to have been killed in a US strike in the Caribbean has filed what’s believed to be the first complaint against such attacks with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR).

It always amazes me that there are people who think the US military ever do the right thing.

Me on a candlelit vigil for AIDS in 1987.

Me last week. Looking pretty healthy for 58 (28 years living with HIV).

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

Wait..... They have Mac and cheese as a SIDE??? Wtf?

For what they spent redacting pedophiles names from Epsteins LIST OF VICTIM COMPLAINTS. We could have purchased 10 3 bedroom units to end 10 families homeless needs for LIFE.
GOD DAMB IT , THAT KINDA PISSES ME OFF.
And so should it, YOU!
