Left hand on the ground trying not to hit the pavement; right hand still holding a cell phone. ICE person standing with a one handed grip pointing his gun right at the man’s head.

There is nothing about this that we should accept. We all must reject this. This is our government, & they want this

I don’t know why but I can’t stop laughing at this list of governments serving on the “Board of Peace.” My god

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

The latest breakthroughs in our solar grid can power our high speed rail for 300 years vs we must invade the oil fields to power our data center-driven plagiarism porn machines. 🤔

I've said this before, but there are two kinds of people in the world.

- People who have suffered or been traumatized by something, and think it's unfair unless everyone else also suffers
- People who have suffered or been traumatized by something and don't want anyone else to experience that.

Saudi entourage for US visit may include official implicated in Twitter spy plot Senior aide to Mohammed bin Salman allegedly led campaign to identify users who were posting critically about Saudi regime

When you're a Saudi crown prince they let you do it. You can do anything, dismember them with a bonesaw. You can do anything. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

I am a moderate Democrat and there is literally nothing I won't do to make sure the cowards who caved pay for it at the next available opportunity. I am patient. I can wait.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

it is impossible to honestly describe this country without understanding the nature of a multilevel marketing scam

🧵, as they say:

This beautiful young man is the very best of us. The kind face of this incredibly tiny small town of a city that we love so much. And those bastards are trying to make him feel less-than? Trying to make ALL of us feel less-than?

To hell with them. Cuomo and Adams and all their corporate supporters.

I'm still seeing people suggest secession as a solution and bitching about red states.

There are multiple problems with this but the biggest is that it means abandoning our people. Even if states skew red, there are still folks there who need equal rights and our protection.

Despite everything I still have fundamental faith in the American people turning this around and making things better.

[reads any New York Times focus group]

Fuck this. Fuck everything. Burn it all down. [drinks directly from tequila bottle]

It never occurred to them, raising children on hate, filling them with wrath, that it could come back to bite them. That their little monsters could become big monsters & those monsters wouldn't care who they hurt. Because that's what they were taught.

That their needs are outsized & must be met.

Q: but what if a full Epstein investigation also takes down Bill Clinton?????

A:

Can you share a link?

Astonishing how fast and easy it is to bring down a global superpower if you’re really committed to destroying its political system, tanking its economy, killing as many of its people as possible through disease and removing medical care, and destroying its universities, and nobody stops you.

to Jews, on the Gaza famine an open letter: we have been commanded

I just sent this out.

The Jewish people have moral frameworks for this moment.

It is a choice not to heed them.

Please let us meet this moment, let us see the shattered Temple around us, right now, and our responsibility to it.

Opinion | Tens of thousands of Palestinians are at risk for starvation. But the real famine is the lack of pro-Israel voices on America’s campuses.

The antipathy for the Department of Education is the most enduring relic of the cause that birthed the modern GOP: not having to go to school with Black people.

It is ironic that they cut the budget for nursing homes so they could increase the budget to arrest many of the people who work in nursing homes.

A bit overkill on the nursing home attacks, really.

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

Mamdani should win but he's the latest example of the Democratic Party closing ranks to keep anyone young and exciting and full of energy out of the party - and then they spend countless millions on consultants trying to figure out why they're struggling with young voters

Among many other things this is a proliferation nightmare. The lesson learned will be never negotiate with the United States.

Any Democrat thinking of running for president in 2028 who isn’t going to speak out against the Trump/Netanyahu war with Iran should just stop thinking about it. You’re never going to win without being on the right side of this.

Private Henry Johnson of the 369th New York Infantry.

This Army birthday I’m thinking of Medal of Honor recipient Pvt Henry Johnson of the 369th NY National Guard (known as the Harlem Hellfighters). The 369th served more days in the WWI trenches than an other US unit, took more casualties also. DOD just stripped Johnson’s name off Ft. Polk.

today my friend, a teacher, was asking me about work and said “if you could tell me one thing right now, what would it be?”

and i told her that the attack on senator padilla and the murders in minnesota are just the beginning; that more violence is coming, and burying your head isn’t an option.

So do we get why I was banned from speaking about Pinochet at the Naval Academy now?

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes
