The justifications for war with Iran keep changing. First it’s nukes, then it’s conventional missiles, then it’s protesters, and now it’s back to nukes again. Kinda seems like war with Iran is itself the objective, and they’re just making up excuses to get there.

So back in June Alex Padilla was tackled and detained by ICE for trying to ask a question at a press conference. The story from the administration was he attacked her.
Fast forward 7 months, Maxwell Frost attacked, Ilhan Omar attacked. Not a peep from the media about "turning down the rhetoric". 🙄

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

We're in a time in American history where the president of the United States is sending FBI agents out to help rig the midterms. This is not an administration, it's a mafia doing their dirty work for all to see & I am FURIOUS at everyone who helped normalize this level of crime in our government.

“You can’t have guns,” he says.. after they murdered a nurse in the street.

They never say that after school shootings.

Walz said the most striking thing about talking to Trump, is he didn't seem to discern the difference between what he's doing in Minneapolis Vs. Venezuela. Such a little Putin wannabe. It should be clear, no state is safe from military action, by this f'n Pedo-🤡.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.

Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.

And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.

The system is rigged.

The coolest Congresswoman there’s ever been.

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores.

TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti.

Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret.

Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

The CBP’s report confirms that two federal immigration officers fatally shot Pretti as they wrestled him to the ground, and that he did not take out his gun. That’s despite claims by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who said Pretti had been “brandishing” a weapon.

Now sources tell CNN that authorities had details on Pretti a week before he was fatally shot. In a separate encounter, Pretti had suffered a broken rib when a group of federal officers tackled him while he was trying to protect protesters from being arrested.

I remember viewing Watchmen & thinking

wow

this is so UNREALISTIC

"It's less harmful to me to make sure that they can do the things without the AI than to try and push the AI into my classroom knowing that, at least for some of them, it's going to mean that they don't get to acquire the skills that they need."

This this this this this this this this this this 🙏

Weird that Israel targeted a CBS journalist and knew exactly where they were. It’s almost as if they were tipped off

Moments ago live, a man attacked @repilhan.bsky.social at her town hall. They sprayed her with something.
She is so brave she wants to continue.
We have your your back rep!

Don't let them have the show!

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Man tackled to ground after spraying unknown substance on Rep. Ilhan Omar at town hall in Minneapolis.

They took away his gun.

Then, they executed him.

They murdered an unarmed man.

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line.

If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

These are some of the factors underlying how easy it has been for the Israeli state & the Trump admin to discard the "rule of law"
Of course legal history or analysis cannot provide a complete explanation, but that is my 2 cents worth.
#AbolishICE #FreePalestine

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all:

The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

Satya Nadella saying the quiet part out loud.

It seems even he has to acknowledge that AI hype is not matching reality and using up water & electricity to create content slot machines may not be the best use of our scarce resources.

Australia clings to two-state fantasy as Gaza lies in ruins—80% flattened, half under Israeli boot. One state obliterated kills the deal, yet no Israel ban, just pinprick sanctions . Dry facts, bitter pill.

In Gaza, since my childhood, we have suffered from wars, bombings, and deprivation. Despite all this, we have always sought happiness in the simplest things, All we want now is peace, only peace. I pray that this world will grant us peace, for we truly do not deserve all this destruction.
