Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran.

Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children.

Saudi Arabia is a brutal dictatorship that allows no opposition.

These are the leaders who want to bring “freedom” to Iran?

Does anyone really believe that?

bluesky clippy: hey there! you seem to be mad at something but not the person you’re yelling at. would you like some help self-regulating?

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

Today at 11 a.m. at Whittier Park in Minneapolis, join the “ICE Out of MN” rally. The Trump administration says it has been winding down operations, but that’s far from true.

Is that carb ultra-processed? Here's a test even a kid can do The latest nutrition guidelines urge Americans to avoid highly processed food. But when it comes to carbs, many people don't know which ones are ultra-processed. Here's an easy way to find out.

"Imagine if we actually followed the Constitution."

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”

The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding.

Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

Democratic members of Congress are not bound by oaths to protect sources/congregants/patients like journalists, priests, and doctors are.

If your GOP colleagues are saying privately that they decry what ICE or Trump is doing, time to name names.

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,

Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

Text printed on a white sheet of paper taped to a black wall: "It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character." - Joseph Heller, Catch-22

Seen today in Center City Philadelphia

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since.

That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

I keep thinking about the number of people that have to be involved to kidnap a small child, transport him to one facility or another, then an airport, then a plane, then another facility. Did no one on that chain stop and say hey what the fuck?

The arguments I have received from the pro-ICE world are “it all happened so fast” but looking down your barrel through an open window at the side of a person’s head and pulling the trigger is murder.

Immediate punishment for speaking out against the regime.

What is your most unhinged fact about yourself? It’s best in safe spaces 😅

This week, the House votes on DHS funding.

I will not vote to give ICE a single cent.

No more blank checks for a rogue agency that operates above the law, escalates violence, and erodes our most basic freedoms.

If I’m putting pen to paper, I’m either having an absolutely fantastic day or a incredibly terrible one haha

Historical illiteracy is generous. The United States governs 574 Native nations that it holds in colonial subordination today.

‘Morally acceptable’ for U.S. troops to disobey orders, archbishop says Timothy P. Broglio, who heads the Archdiocese for the U.S. Military Services, expressed concern at President Donald Trump’s threats to seize Greenland by force.

Archbishop Timothy Broglio, head of the Archdiocese for the U.S. military services, says Trump’s threat to seize Greenland by force “tarnishes the image of the United States”; troops can refuse “immoral” orders. The former USCCB president is seen as a church conservative (Gift link)

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks, don't you think?

A blatant act of authoritarianism. This is the playbook of a wannabe dictator to rationalize even more extreme abuses of power.

Every call for ”better training” for ICE should be met with the question, “was training the problem for Nazis?”

Because the agency is full of—even led by—Nazis.
