CW: Violence

An unarmed veteran was attacked from behind, injured, and hauled into a Portland ICE facility. This is just one example of the unchecked brutality carried out by a secret police force operating in the shadows. Tell your elected officials to act now: www.bluestatedefianc...

ANDOR writer Dan Gilroy says the Mon Mothma speech he wrote for Season 2 gets him emotional because of how relevant it is to the real world.

“I was getting choked up writing it because these are massively important elements in our lives, particularly right now”

EPA plans to ignore science, stop regulating greenhouse gases “Largest deregulatory action” in the history of US would be one of the unhealthiest.

Zeldin calls killing the 2009 endangerment finding ‘a dagger to the heart of the climate change religion.’

Science isn’t a religion, Zeldin - and climate change is grounded in overwhelming evidence.

But poisoning the planet & American people? That’s apparently Zeldin's crusade.

This is my friend.

His name is Christian Smalls.

He founded the Amazon Labor union

Not as a professional activist, but as a worker who decided he’d had enough.

Recently, he was beaten and detained by the IDF

And no one in the MSM is talking about it.

Of all the shows misunderstood by right wingers, that one was always the most baffling.

FCC approves Paramount's $8 billion deal with Skydance, capping months of turmoil The stamp of approval from the Federal Communications Commission comes after months of turmoil revolving around President Donald Trump’s legal battle with “60 Minutes,” the crown jewel of Paramount-ow...

The Paramount-Skydance merger is corruption in plain sight.

These corporations paid $36 million to Trump in bribes.

Then they had CBS cancel Stephen Colbert’s show for criticizing Trump.

The Trump regime is a criminal enterprise, and billionaires are buying into it.

Boycott Paramount & Skydance.

Schumer keeps trying with all his might to will government proceedings back to normality, with no effect. It’s a forlorn sight; he may as well tilt at windmills.

Trying to figure out what the "Big Beautiful Bill" means for you? Here’s a timeline on when provisions in the bill will take effect. It all adds up to higher costs for you, big tax breaks for billionaires and less resources for our communities.

“But Superman, stopping that country from invading another was politically fraught”

“THEY WERE GOING TO KILL PEOPLE!!!!”

James Gunn made a movie that says this: people worrying about politics are not the heroes. The people trying to stop mass murder are the heroes.

That’s that on that

Good morning Bluesky !

I found a non-exhausted list of Indigenous radio stations that you can donate to in order to keep them afloat after the defunding

“Gaza is an experiment by the mega-rich trying to show all the peoples of the world how to respond to a rebellion of humanity; they plan to bomb us all.” -Colombian president Gustavo Petro at The Hague Group Summit

The Colbert situation is scary (assuming this is political, which it has to be, right?) because it's a good reminder that there's like 5 media companies out there that control everything now. It takes a very small amount of people to effectively silence any large scale criticism of the government.

Trump’s EPA has:

-Killed $15 million in research into forever chemicals in farmlands
-Attempted to roll back forever chemical limits in drinking water
-Delayed rules requiring corporations to report their forever chemical usage

How does this “make America healthy again”?

Today we forced Trump to release $1.3 billion for more than 10,000 summer & afterschool programs helping 1.4 million students.

It's not enough. He's still illegally withholding $5.5 billion more from schools.

Congress passed it. The president signed it. Trump must release it.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

We’re at the ‘chaining the court jesters to a dungeon wall’ part of authoritarianism. And we’re only six months in.

'Caught cheating while kissing on the Jumbotron at the Coldplay concert' is in the running for new Whitest-Thing-That-Ever-Happened.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL: ICE has detained hundreds of U.S. citizens by “mistake.”

And now they want 100,000 beds and more planes to scale up?

They’re not deporting “illegals”—they’re running a kidnapping ring with government contracts.

Alt Text: A statement on a red-bordered white background from George Retes, a 25-year-old U.S. Army veteran, U.S. citizen, and security guard at Glass House Farms in Camarillo, California. The statement recounts his wrongful detainment by ICE agents on July 10th while on his way to work. He describes being pepper-sprayed, tear-gassed, having his car window smashed, and being dragged out of his vehicle at gunpoint, despite being nonviolent and clearly identifying himself as a U.S. citizen and employee. Retes details being detained for three days without charges, phone access, or legal help, and without being told the reason for his arrest. He was denied medical care despite injuries from chemical agents. He expresses that such treatment is unacceptable, especially for a veteran, and underscores that this was not just a mistake but a civil rights violation and a failure of justice. Retes calls for a full investigation into ICE's actions, accountability for the agents involved, and broader public awareness, emphasizing that the raid hurt U.S. citizens as well as immigrants. The statement ends with his declaration that he will not remain silent. In the bottom-right corner is the United Farm Workers logo and the phrase “Sí se puede.” Generated with BSky AltText CustomGPT.

25 y/o vet George Retes, a citizen, was ICE-napped en route to work—tear-gassed, cuffed, ghosted for 3 days. No charges. No calls. No clue. “Oops” won’t cut it. The Empire eats its own. Fnords howl. Chaos knows the truth: this isn’t justice—it’s ritual abuse. Investigate everything. 🌀🇺🇸

Disgusting.

Trump's budget gives ICE more funds than most countries' militaries.

ICE is now ramping up by offering signing bonuses.

Meanwhile, Trump is slashing education funding and closing the Dept. of Ed.

94% of teachers have spent their own money on school supplies.

Priorities.
