With cellphone cameras and tip lines, D.C. residents find small ways to fight ICE How neighbors and school communities are organizing against the immigration crackdown.

Residents are finding all sorts of ways to fight ICE: They're recording and reporting. They're wheatpasting and sharing know-your-rights materials. And they're stepping up to care for each other, from delivering groceries to walking kids to school. 51st.news/dc-residents...

This is step one in how we lose free and fair elections. It’s not that Trump will “cancel” the midterms.

It’s just everyone has to vote in person, and urban downtowns will be filled with ICE checkpoints and intimidating National Guard troops to “double check” that only citizens vote.

#Trump turns on everyone

Someone is making a lot of money off this

@BBCWorld: 'The world is behaving irrationally' - Putin's warm welcome gets cold reaction in Ukraine

This is what weak men do. They are "tough" with friends. They cave to enemies. It's so simple no one sees it.

If you’re the praying type, say a prayer for Ukraine tonight.🇺🇦

Haven't read the indictment, but is Donald Trump's Justice Department by any chance taking the position here that the criminal justice system should punish people for creating false financial or other documentation to cover up a sexual relationship?

HAVE YOU STUPID FUCKS LEARNED NOTHING OR ARE YOU FALLING IN LOVE WITH FASCISM? Yes, Gavin Newsom fucked up with his French Laundry appearance during Covid. I was not happy about that. I was FUCKING APOPLEPTIC when he had Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon on his podcast. I wanted to drop an anvil on his head when he threw transgender athletes under the bus. But... he and Governor Pritzker (is he too fat for you to support, you fucking idiots?) are about the last bastions of dissent blocking our descent into complete authoritarianism. Have you LEARNED nothing by continuing the EXACT BEHAVIOR that has put us on this precarious slope of shittiness? Kamala was too progressive, not progressive enough, had a weird laugh, didn’t distance herself from Biden enough, distanced herself from Biden too much... It’s as if your spouse is getting bludgeoned and raped on the subway and the only person willing to jump in and try to save them has uneven sideburns and is missing the ring finger on their left hand so you tell them not to help and you’ll just wait for someone else a little better to yank the dick out of your loved one. We’re fucking lucky to have someone who isn’t a goddamned pussy standing up to the fatorangefascistfuck. Stop throwing out the entire pizza because you don’t like olives.

What this guy said!

YouTube video by Senator Markey Trump is using PREDATOR DRONES to surveil protesters

The Trump administration is using Predator drones to conduct aerial surveillance over protesters and publicly releasing the footage. This is wrong and dangerous. I’m demanding answers from DHS on these authoritarian tactics. youtube.com/shorts/aeagb...
