The idiot speaker shouting “yield, man!” seems to have forgotten that one of the most formative events in our country’s history was the Americans’s outrage at the British military occupying Boston.

ICEblock, which allows users to alert others to the geographical location of ICE officers, is the top social networking app in the App Store right now after Karoline Leavitt condemned it from the podium yesterday.

Republicans have a trifecta, they should have passed this easily weeks ago. But even Republicans know it's terrible and deeply unpopular. We heard this morning some district office staffers are telling their GOP bosses that voting for this is will be a career killer. Being loud IS having an effect

Michael Lewis, who recently got egg all over his entire face re: believing the SBF con job, was the editor for a book in March called "Who Is Government." This seems like a wild question to ask for a man who got conned by maybe the most obvious con artist of all time.

It’s easy to doomscroll right now; I’m catching myself do that very thing. So here’s your reminder: Take care of yourself, and practice self-care. Close the app if you need to, and do something else that you enjoy. Part of the fight against fascism is not letting them control your head and anxiety

An MSNBC anchor just definitively claimed Padilla didn't identify himself when video clearly shows he did. So fucking irresponsible. This is how lies spread.

Because Black people know that there is no such thing as “identification” or “identifying yourself”. They aren’t saying Padilla didn’t identify himself as a U.S. Senator. They are saying that there is only one acceptable identity — credential — being white and, in these times, being pro-Trump.

Anytime Trump says some bullshit I see a fair amount of despondent comments like "And like a third of the country will believe him" which is true but I think you just have to get past that. Like a third of the country believes in ghosts too, we don't need total consensus to win

ICE is operating as a lawless terrorist organization. And unfortunately, that's in line with how much of law enforcement in America has long treated people, especially in marginalized communities.

Keep in mind. Trump isn’t giving all these ICE Agents directions individually. They are choosing to do this. Stealing money. Making girls stand in the rain in their underwear. That’s their choice. Because people who chose to be ICE Agents chose it for pain it causes.

Looking forward to the point where the tide turns, and ICE no longer feels safe living out their gestapo power fantasies. All it takes is one example made, and they'll change their tune real fast. Nazis aren't people.
