Let them know you're filming them and keep asking the key questions:

"Do you have a warrant signed by a judge? Show me."

"Do you have a badge? Show me."

"Do you know how pathetic you are? You showed me."

"Sending a strong letter” (love) …. but what did he say next?

Senate Probe Uncovers Allegations of Widespread Abuse in ICE Custody Led by US senator Jon Ossoff, the investigation cites hundreds of reports since January, including accounts of miscarriages, child neglect, and sexual abuse at ICE detention centers in dozens of state...

A United States Senate investigation has identified more than 500 credible reports of human rights abuses in US immigration detention since January, including alarming allegations of mistreatment of pregnant women and children.

The fact that Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier is still locked in the Texas house chamber overnight isn't on every news channel is infuriating.
Republicans are requiring Democrats to sign “permission slips” & have a police escort in order to leave the chamber, & she refuses to sign it. This is America

Israel Is in Talks to Send Gazans to South Sudan, Officials Say

Mass deportation of Palestinians from Gaza to South Sudan is ethnic cleansing, a war crime.
It’s cruel and also stupid.
Every sensible Jewish organization needs to condemn it unequivocally.

He looks a bit like Paul Rudd here

New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.”

Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.

Mamdani needs to win and win by a lot so the establishment understands people are done playing around and it carries over to the presidential primaries

Jury nullification - Wikipedia

Everyone should know about jury nullification!

A jury has an absolute right to return any verdict it chooses. You can return a verdict of NOT GUILTY if you consider a law, punishment, or prosecutor unjust.

Mind you, if you mention this during selection, you may not end up on a jury.

Pass it on!

Establishment Dems need to step aside!

I think a lot of these “perfect is the enemy of good so we’re ok with anti-trans candidates” are just privileged white people facing adversity for the first time in their entire lives and are so fucking fragile and terrified they’re willing to do anything and kill anyone to protect themselves.

Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

Ahmed Alaa Al-Batneiji, 17, suffers from celiac disease, and his health has sharply deteriorated after three months without access to gluten-free food due to the blockade. The resulting severe malnutrition and complications put his life at risk, and he urgently requires treatment outside Gaza.

Local angle: one of these sad beasts lives in the MCAD quad

What can one person do to impede Trump's assault on the planet?

Easy. Stop buying things you don't need.

Nothing will hurt his agenda more than slowing down the economy. Re-adopt the values of "Use it up, wear it out." Create more than you consume. Oh, and bonus: you'll be happier, too.

I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.

I am so sick of "Israel has a right to exist."

Israel is a nuclear power with one of the largest militaries in the world and a superpower benefactor. More Palestinians have been murdered each month in 2024 and 2025 than Hamas has killed in its entire existence.

PALESTINE HAS A RIGHT TO EXIST.

hear me out here, what if none of it is a 'distraction' and they're just doing a lot of horrible shit simultaneously

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

We have always had corruption in America but right know the whole country is being operated like a criminal enterprise, including kickbacks to the mob boss from universities, the media, law firms and now tech companies.

Anas Al Sharif was born in 1996. He was 4 when the Second Intifada began in 2000. He was 11 when Israel imposed the blockade on Gaza in 2007. He was 12 during Cast Lead in 2008–2009. He was 18 during the 2014 assault on Gaza. He was 29 when Israel assassinated him in 2025. a tweet by Jehad Abusalim

Free Palestine.

BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif.

He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza.

Speechless.

Rowling could've lived in her castle and tweeted "Hagrid wants you to brush your teeth and have a happy St. Swithin's Day!" a few times a year and HP would've had the same legacy as Pooh or Middle-earth, but she consciously chose Evil For Evil's Sake like a badly written children's fantasy villain

LEFT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has a tattoo in honor of a family member.

RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.
