hey you’re encroaching on the pitchbot guy.

A year ago: We need TAXES on the WEALTHY

Now: We need a cleansing fire

Every one of the journalists arrested by the regime in last 24 hours was Black and that is not a coincidence.

I will work 100 hours a week for whoever is gonna run the Nuremberg trials against these fucking monsters

As a voter, you can make demands without gaming out the politics. Do people know this?

Was Tom Homan Obama's 'ICE chief' who received award for deportations? We inspected Homan held senior leadership roles at ICE while Obama was president, but he served as the agency's director only under Trump.

FWIW, it should probably be noted, that Snopes says this photo is digitally altered. www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...

An outside observer might think the post 9/11 security state is intentionally doing horrific things to ward off the spectres of weakness and terror, like cathedral gargoyles scaring off demons. When the truth is that it doesn't even make that much sense.

They gave a bunch of roided up thugs weapons and made them immune from legal consequences. You can't really tinker around the edges of something like that, you have to end it

Seems all good, but there will be negotiation around this, yes? Seems weak as an opening position that will get whittled down therein.

Eugenics and Other Evils

I’m gonna say it again: I don’t care about these leaks about Bovino or Noem or any other Trump official. I want to know who killed Alex Pretti, and I want to know that there’s going to be a serious investigation and prosecution of that individual and any other federal agents involved in his killing.

I am also disappointed - again - that abuses of power outside of DHS are being ignored. While DHS must be Democrats' primary focus, it is essential that they not ignore and permit the grotesque misbehavior by FBI and DOJ in refusing to investigate Renee Good's murder.

Who did this

Because if we’re doomed I don’t need to try to do anything about it, because what would be the point. Lets me off the hook.

"A lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history."

Seconded. Internalized. Maybe I’m stupid or pedantic w/e, but I hold that there is only *one* reality. There’s reality on the one hand, and lies, delusion, and other forms of error on the other. Even as a metaphor, the notion of “shared reality” is pernicious.

Once you understand that you're dealing with murderous liars, you stop entertaining what they say as possibly credible and legitimate. The fight against them is about stopping them from terrorizing and killing by any means, not winning debates about your reality versus theirs.

I really think most people are good and the right wing scumbags are the violent minority who have been spotlighted and treated as normal as part of the overall plan by billionaires and the media to normalize fascism.

Robert E. Lee was not hung. How far back do you want to go?

Yes, this thread.

My sister said she was at the grocery store the other day in wisconsin, and there was a Latino family in front of her in line. She imagined ice coming in and got a bit scared because she was ready to die to protect that family and I don't doubt that's how a lot of people are starting to feel.

Hey if you have a problem with the White House sharing A.I. generated photos of their political enemies great reminder to not also do that

With ram and gpu's spiking in price because the companies are ending their consumer products in order to only make genAI data center stuff, now is a good time to point out that you can just do linear algebra in your head for free. The cops can't do shit about it

Democratic leadership is terrified of being seen on the side of the people of Minneapolis, least they lose the potential future support of pro-cop people whose support they do not and never will have.

Burning at the stake also frequently comes to mind. It’s one way to be sure.

At our weekly demo, my brilliant wife has a little “Quiet Piggy” sign she flashes at drivers who give her the finger.

Jennings makes the face my Labrador Retriever does when i open a package of cheese.
