If you are a Dem that cannot commit to abolishing the goddamn American Gestapo, you are not on the side of the people, you are on the side of the billionaire pedophile sex trafficking ring currently rounding up our neighbors. Resign.

We won’t go quietly. The Legion can count on that. The Bear has two heads. Would rather die screaming than give in to the fascists.
If the Epstein files have proven anything, it’s that the justice system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as it was built to do: to shield the rich and powerful from accountability while victims are buried, ignored, or silenced.
It’s Election Day in TN 7th District. Already, 84,356 people have cast their ballots early. If you haven’t voted yet, please make a plan to do so today!
BREAKING: Senator @ChrisMurphyCT on Trump's call for executions: “The President of the United States just called for members of Congress to be executed. If you are a person of influence in this country, maybe it’s time to pick a f**king side!”
UPDATE on U.S. citizen who was shot by ICE in Ontario on Thursday, October 30th, The lawyers representing him are seeking the public’s help for tips, videos, and info identifying the three men stopped and potentially taken by ICE who are witnesses. No one knows what happened to them.
I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything as much as ICE loves violently attacking women.
Brad Lander@bradlander.bsky.social · last yr.I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
New from me: There's a lot of misinformation around the reasons I was fired from WaPo. Here's the official termination letter I got sent by Washington Post. Read and judge for yourself. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

The clearest possible indication that Bove now has enough votes to be confirmed.
Christian fundamentalism looks a lot like Islamic fundamentalism. There’s more than one way to scream, “Death to the ‘infidels!’”
Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. And he’s a rapist. Sue me.
At some point you’ve gotta lean into this branding. It’s making this site seem rad as hell.
Arron Automata@arrontk.bsky.social · last yr.Apparently it’s weird when you don’t want to spend your whole day arguing with randoms.
ALERT 🚨 ALERT 🚨 ALERT 🚨 ALERT 🚨 ALERT 🚨 MASSIVE ICE/MILITARY PRESENCE AT CARPINTERIA, CALIF RIGHT NOW, THURSDAY, JULY 10TH. MILITARY CHECKPOINT AT CASITAS PASS AND FOOTHILL ROADS
The Epstein List was never real. In other news, we were always at war with Eastasia and never at war with Eurasia. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
🚨BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani jaywalked in 2013! Must credit the New York Times and Twitter account @ReichWing1488 🚨
You think that vast armed force is going to be used just for immigration? I doubt it. Watch for ICE duties to expand duties and for ICE to follow the pattern of militarization of police. Also watch it used as secret police against anything anti-ICE.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · last yr.If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.
There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details
They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.
Democrats cannot defeat authoritarian fascism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people. We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before.
Democrats are fighting "all out," like Jim Jordan is dedicated to eliminating Ohio State locker room crimes.
The cruelty is the point. The Trump admin shatters families... rips lives apart...and bulldozes through human cost like it’s just paperwork. Real leadership doesn’t destroy...it builds. But they’re too busy breaking to bother with building.
