I hate being wrong about anything but as an atheist, I hope Iโ€™m wrong about an afterlife just so these fake Christians burn in hell for their relentless inhumanity.

How ICE Hides Detainees From Their Lawyers โ€˜It seems like cruelty is the point,โ€™ one attorney said.

ICE abducts people and then immediately moves them around to prevent access to lawyers and habeas corpus petitions. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social has the story on this consistent game being played to frustrate due process.

Is it possible for blue states to withhold federal taxes?

If so, why isnโ€™t that happening? Because youโ€™re literally paying for this to happen โ€” Itโ€™s all so messed up!!

Seems like an appropriate time to take a page out of ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ทโ€™s playbook and launch a General Strike. You saw what you achieved w/ Kimmelโ€ฆ

Imagine the domino effect of just air traffic controllers walking off the job:
Amazon shipments stall, ICE deportations slow, billionaires canโ€™t fly, even private

LIVE: Allison Gill - REPUBLICANS DIRTY SHUTDOWN SECRET REVEALED YouTube video by MeidasTouch

I have receipts that republicans can end the shutdown right now without a single democratic vote, and that the trump administration wants this shutdown and that's why they're not ending it. See the proof! www.youtube.com/live/PkEOK7J...

And, what about next year and every year that follows?

More bailouts?

- China wonโ€™t suddenly start buying soybeans

-Canadians wonโ€™t end the boycott.

- USAID contracts wonโ€™t be reinstated.

- Tariffs wonโ€™t be removed so potash will continue to have import taxes applied.

If civil war isnโ€™t inevitable, how exactly do you see this ending?

He wonโ€™t leave. They wonโ€™t remove him. And, IF, midterms happen, they will be rigged in some manner.

Yes, there are other ways to halt whatโ€™s happening (economic shutdown), but youโ€™re running out of time to organize.

Itโ€™s fucking heartbreaking.

And the power-hungry, egomaniacal asshats running your country wonโ€™t stop until theyโ€™ve stripped everything worth a damn from the US. You know, like, diversity, culture, scientific innovation, art and literatureโ€ฆ

The right has been pushing for civil war for months and itโ€™s terrifying but seemingly inevitable at this point.

Please tell me youโ€™re all prepared for whatever happens. If not, start now.

Trump is now calling up National Guard troops from states to send them into other states.

Heโ€™s trying to send California troops into Oregon & Texas troops into Illinois.

This is illegal & threatens to tear apart our country even further.

He is trying to provoke a civil war.

Founded in 2022, Elevated Access is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing access to abortion and gender affirming care to Americans in need.

Pilots volunteer their time and planes to safely transfer patients to/from states still offering these medical services.

My grandfather, who helped liberate the Netherlands from Nazi occupation, taught me to be an anti-fascist.

I will always honor his incredible legacy of selfless service.

You will have to do that yourselves.

What is happening is democratically electedโ€ฆ One third of your country voted for ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ’ฉ.

Palestinians didnโ€™t vote for genocide. Big difference, an apples-to-oranges comparison.

We want to help you and we support you but the tough stuff falls on your shoulders.

You might've missed a line that was tucked away in Donald Trump's recent speech.

He called on the admirals and generals to be ready to fight โ€œthe enemy from withinโ€ in American cities.

Itโ€™s another dangerous escalation into American authoritarianism says @davidcorn.bsky.social.

White House official inadvertently reveals plans to send elite army unit to Portland Anthony Salisbury displayed chat about deployment of 82nd airborne division on cellphone while in Minnesota

Oh look, another White House Signal scandal.

This time it was an aide to Stephen Miller who was using Signal so openly in a public space that a bystander captured images of the chat.

Oh and the messages were about sending the *82nd Airborne* into Portland.

ICE officers stopped a family at gunpoint and smashed the car window on top of the newborn baby. โ€œI was screaming that there was a baby,โ€ cried the mother. โ€œBut they didnโ€™t care,โ€ and covered the baby with their bodies, fearing that the glass would hurt him.

Roslyn Carter once said Ronald Reagan, "makes people comfortable with their prejudices." Trump didn't create MAGA, he just brought it out from under its white sheet and put a red hat on it.
