i literally gasped. joking about dead babies in Gaza, using mass infanticide as a punchline on a talk show to manufacture consent for two yrs of human suffering & genocide. Van Jonesโ€™s comments are not merely evil &amoralโ€”they reflect a Kissinger like indifference to humanity & the atrocities of war

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

ICE Agents in #Chicago
โ€˜F--- them kidsโ€™: ICE agents drag children out of bed, ransack Chicago building

Itโ€™s the most egregious abuse of our basic rights as Americans I've seen in a long time, maybe in my lifetime,โ€ says Chris Hayes.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now itโ€™s commonplace.

Thatโ€™s not making America great again.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Werner Herzog has slammed the use of AI in new cinematic releases, saying that films that make use of the technology โ€œlook completely dead.โ€

โ€œThere are stories, but they have no soul. They are empty and soulless.โ€

Amen to that!

These people hate our country. They hate Americans and have declared war on our constitution and freedoms. They should repent and resign

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use โ€œreasonable suspicionโ€ to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/cโ€ฆ

A year ago, both Trumpโ€™s former chief of staff John Kelly and his top military advisor Mark Milley warned America that Trump was a โ€œfascist.โ€

As Milley said:

โ€œHe is the most dangerous person everโ€ฆhe's a total fascist. He is now the most dangerous person to this country.โ€

No, Bill, you dolt. No, I donโ€™t think that. I do KNOW that the Saudis are imprisoning women for advocating feminist principles online and still behead people without a fair trial.

It was great to experience that part of the world and to be a part of the first comedy festival over there in Saudi Arabia. The royals loved the show. Everyone was happy. The people that were doing the festival were thrilled.โ€

Deeply disappointed to hear that the Israeli Navy illegally stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla 75 miles off the coast of Gaza. This was a non-violent mission to break the IDFโ€™s horrifying siege and deliver food and medicine to those who need it most.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.
