This is truly some of the meanest shit I’ve ever heard of and I firmly believe the intended this to end with his death

The Rohingya have already survived one genocide, one driven by lies spread on Facebook. The horror show is now continuing here.

I don't get it. when the folks who routinely get the most excited about new innovations in tech are all looking at a thing and going 'this is a bad thing', why are we all taking the opinions of people that don't know what words mean?

Why are all history teachers left-wing?

Because they studied history.

Reminder for people who might forget: Ryan is one of the journalists who used a white supremacist as a source for that Mamdani college application story, without revealing that the source was a white supremacist, which is fucking relevant to the privacy breach in the story!!

The President is Lying to the Public YouTube video by Governor Wes Moore

The President is lying to the public:

1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land.

Rep Raskin reports he reviewed the full unredacted Epstein Files & Trump's name appears MORE THAN A MILLION TIMES.

We knew of 38K times—meaning we know of only ~3% of Trump's involvement with a convicted child sexual abuser & sex trafficker.

Anyone still unwilling to impeach & remove is complicit.

There was a reason my parents told me “Focus on school for now” when I hit my teens.

I was never a beautiful girl, and I was never in movies that sexualized me in in any way. But it didn’t matter. It was about access. I still got harassed.

The 2000s were a bleak, bleak time for young girls.

ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

MN Judge: "ICE has violated ~100 court orders."

ICE: "We're acting on orders of Kristy Noem"

Kristi Noem: "Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of Trump & Miller"

Nuremberg Trials: "I was just following orders is not a valid defense to criminal behavior"

Abolish. Impeach. Prosecute.

Renee Nicole Good, the woman shot & killed by an ICE agent, had a young son whose father died in 2023, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune

“There’s nobody else in his life,” the boy’s grandfather told the paper. “I’ll drive. I’ll fly. To come get my grandchild.” www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

there is no constituency that needs you to fall all over yourself to call Maduro illegitimate before you dare criticize Trump. Voters have been down this road before. No one thought Saddam Hussein was a nice guy. Criticism of Maduro at this stage correctly reads as a defense of Trump to most people.

I think we need to be able to balance the reactions "this is another expression of 250 years of American imperialism" and "what do you MEAN we kidnapped the president of Venezuela and renditioned him to the US and are now claiming to run the country"

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Trump's Illegal Act of War In Venezuela Trump’s bombing of Venezuela and abduction of Maduro shatters sovereignty, invites global chaos, and establishes a doctrine no democracy can survive

My analysis as a human rights lawyer where I cite:
•The international & constitutional laws Trump violated
•His absurd justification for this attack & why it will absolutely fail in any court of justice
•The horrifying global implications that Trump just unleashed

Most of the villains we loathe in media are significantly less evil than Elon Musk and the Pedo in Chief + minions/handlers.

"why don't they teach ____ in school?"

we do. You were on your phone the entire time and never turned in the assignment, or just cheated and had your parents threatened to get the teacher fired when there were consequences.

*balance checkbook, read a recipe, fill out a resume, etc...

“She thinks this is an appropriate place to get married?” Brian frowned. “May I kill her?”
“No.” Sugar shook her head.
Brian paused, then leaned in toward her. “Is that a not at all no, or a not in public no?”
“Let me get back to you on that one.”

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.
