Hey y'all. I haven't watched this yet -- I have an assignment I have to finish -- but please do read/watch this. The Prairieland Defendants are the test case. The administration is absolutely trying to do this again and again to criminalize dissent. Follow @dfwsupportcommitt.bsky.social, too.

Autumn Hill Speaks from Jail After Being Sentenced to 50 Years and Labeled an ‘Antifa Terrorist’ by the White House [WATCH]

In her first video interview from Johnson County Jail, Hill says she is a “political prisoner” who has been unjustly locked up by the Trump administration.

I read through hundreds of emails and scoured through years of correspondence and background information to write this 4600 word report. It confirms what we all have been saying about the anti-trans movement from the start. Read it from the top down, I can't even begin to summarize it all properly.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

My mom would have had to update her voter registration and prove her citizenship 8 times under the SAVE Act, counting all her moves and name changes. That's just one tiny part of Trump's project to make govt exhausting, punitive and (for him) profitable. My latest www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-m...

Trump Is Making Government Worse on Purpose

Instead of seeking to simplify and improve citizens’ lives, this administration keeps creating new obstacles and burdens.

I was working in Congress when Gingrich took over in 1994. Everyone asked "how can we do oversight if you cut 1/3 of the committee staff?" The GOP reply was, "exactly." Meaning, you can't. Same principle here: they don't want your mom to vote.

Folks from the Women's March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE.

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

Currently going down a rabbithole about the beauty of decay and the aesthetics of rot for research. Because sometimes all poetry is, is unraveling what makes a metaphor tick and verbally regurgitating it in a way so that others can not only understand it, but feel it like you felt it too.

The military accidentally killed a medevac crew this year, and hardly anyone is talking about it. New Wired reporting says a medevac plane lost GPS during an Army jamming exercise near White Sands. In low visibility, it struck a mountain, killing all four aboard. #SheShed 🧵

Liberal pundits are really having a moment. Adam Conover saying working from home is bad for you and Taylor Lorenz saying grok should be allowed to continue generating CSAM. Jfc. Remember: you are not immune to propaganda.

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.

Elon Musk invested $290 million dollars in the 2024 election. He has since made $438 billion off of that investment. To put that into perspective for the rest of us: he paid the equivalent of 82 cents per US citizen to screw each American out of $1250. We are not mad enough at billionaires.

All ICE agents are born with a genetic defect that makes them unable to understand what a woman is. This is why it is believed Matt Walsh is one of the very few ICE agent/human hybrids to survive to adulthood, along with JK Rowling. #ICEfacts

ICE has a pattern of releasing people in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere with nothing and no one to help them. This isn't carelessness, this is calculated cruelty. Even if someone could be "illegal," there is no universe where that is a license to be cruel to another human being.
