All of this needs to be ripped down and destroyed once and for all.

Aren't we already nauseated to the limit by tech bro views of the world? 🤢

Guitar picks make excellent spudgers.

I posted this back in June.

This is so important…

Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles.

In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected.

REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency.

I have no healthcare at age 62. My job was pulled out from under me due to the current economy. I had to apply for early Social Security retirement in order to eat and keep a roof over my head, but far be it for Trump to wait for his Saddam Hussein Gilded Memorial Ballroom and Money Laundering Hall.

That bldg. is in horrible shape.

Slumlords across the USA now realize they can "ICE" tenants who complain about substandard living conditions.

These renters will be rousted from sleep, restrained, dragged naked out onto the street & have their possessions destroyed & stolen aka "ICEING".

Two of many horrific things stand out to me… 1. the naked children dragged off - tales of abuse in detention will be coming out for decades. And 2. At this point these fuckers could be anybody with a Uhaul and a some fake uniforms bought off Amazon.

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

Unfit for Office Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

"One clinical psychologist [said] he considers Trump such a 'classic' pathological narcissist that he is actually 'archiving video clips of him to use in workshops because there’s no better example' of the characteristics of the disorder he displays."

A screenshot of an X post by Q. Anthony Ali (@NobleQAli , 12h ago) featuring a black-and-white historical image of a person lying on the ground while others, including a woman kneeling and several standing figures, are around them in what appears to be a park or open area. Below this, a reply by Antonio Benetto (@Tony_Benetto , 1d ago) to @drmistercody states: "I don't believe US troops will fire on American citizens."

History has many painful lessons.

It’s simple: Republicans have the votes to end their shutdown President Donald Trump and his lackeys are in an all-out push to blame Democrats for the government shutdown. It’s laughable—they control the White House, the Senate, the House, and for good ...

GOP controls everything but still crying victim.

A Shutdown Must Be Tied to a Strategy to Fight Fascism YouTube video by emptywheel

I wrote abt 4 ways to reverse fascism in this:
1) 3.5% in the streets
2) Win 2026 and 2028 (least likely to succeed).
3) Peel off 4 Senators or 8 Congresspeople
4) Clean up after inevitable catastrophe (a la 2008 or 2020)

Gavin Newsom announces that any California university that caves to Trump and signs his “loyalty pledge” will be immediately defunded.

“CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS.”

There is nothing under international law that prevents people attempting to break an illegal siege of an illegally-occupied territory by a country committing genocide.

It is the other way around.

These governments are breaking their own public commitments to stop a genocide.

The only "death panels" I've seen since I've been in the USA are the insurance companies themselves; people's lives are essentially sacrificed here—for profits. It's much worse here than in either Canada, Ireland or the UK—all countries in which I've lived.

Democratic Party is treading water, slowly ensuring its own future drowning by trying to maintain a status quo that no longer exists—and which would be untenable even if it did.

They're as out of touch with the majority as the GOP is—they either need to embrace a progressive platform or fade away.

DYK: There was a Jewish Nazi group in Weimar Germany that supported Hitler bc everyone just calm down and you’re stressed but this is for the best.

And that reaction you’re having right now?

One day that’ll be how people react to the story of this ADL tweet.

Zohran Mamdani: “If Netanyahu comes to deliver a speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York next year while I am mayor, I will move to honor the ICC arrest warrant issued in The Hague against him — just as I would against Putin."

Republicans are a very weird and creepy bunch. Stupid, too.

… and yet here they are, laying prayer hands on him and basically hailing him as a Messiah, even as he does away with the Republic, its representative democracy and its constitution in real time …

The call is coming from inside the house, guys—

…that he appears to be hiding in plain sight.

Trump is a seasoned liar, par excellence, (Deceiver) everything he touches dies or turns to shit (Destroyer) and he has an established record of betraying *everyone* (Betrayer) …

… and a helluva lot of these people are bible thumpers/end timers etc, always talking about the Antichrist and the apocalypse … The Antichrist is supposed to be The Great Betrayer, The Great Deceiver & The Great Destroyer: he will be known by these signs. And yet these nutjobs don't seem to realize…

Something I'm trying to get my head around concerning both the basis for the Second Amendment (a well-armed militia) and the whole fundamentalist white christofascist thing that crosses over … These people always say it's necessary to be able to fight an oppressive government/regime …

We believe healthcare is a right for every American.

But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.

Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

I often wonder about the time masked ICE 'officers' were starting their little pogroms by going after the people who were *following the rules* and some of them had Russian tattoos …

JUST IN: A U.S. citizen from Alabama who has been detained twice by ICE while working at a construction site, has filed a class action suit claiming ICE's broad warrantless arrest powers violate the constitution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
