ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

Keep it up with the No Kings and the inflatable suits. They're really shitting their pants over this. As I've noted, I they expected the opposition to fold by now instead of strengthening.

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

Yeah, we see a lot of use of weasel words like "opinions" and "political disagreement," as though cheerleading for murder, torture, and a burgeoning police state is just another "reasonable minds can differ" issues, like EV tax credits or charter schools.

"Political opinions." It's not like people are ending friendships because of disagreements about the minimum wage.

Julian Sanchez @normative.bsky.social · 2h

A lot of people (mostly those horrified at the notion that one might be <gasp> morally judged for the things one says) purport to think it's awful and wrong to end friendships over "political opinions". But basically nobody ACTUALLY believes this.

A Ukrainian friend once described being next door to Putin as like living next to a monkey with a grenade. You know he's going to throw it at some point and just hope it misses.

The description might now be apt for the US and the Caribbean. www.bbc.com/news/article...

US strikes another vessel off Venezuela coast, killing six

President Trump said the vessel belonged to "narcoterrorists" and that it was "trafficking narcotics." US officials have not provided evidence to this claim.

Dear media,
1/ ICE consistently lies about its violence toward people in Chicago, with its initial accounts later disproven.
2/ When protesters shout at ICE agents to get out of their neighborhood and ICE tear-gasses them and throws them to the ground, that's not a "clash" – that's ICE violence.

JFC. These idiots used the PIT maneuver ON A GODAMNED RESIDENTIAL STREET!!

And then shot tear gas ON A RESIDENTIAL GODAMNED STREET.

For reference, Chicago PD aren’t allowed to do this maneuver. Why?

Because it spins cars into things like other cars, houses, people…

Incredible photo from @chicago.suntimes.com ‘s Anthony Vazquez. Pointing what looks to be a teargas launcher at someone’s head at nearly point blank range is incredibly dangerous. This is why I prefer a ballistic helmet in the field.

The crash happened late Tuesday morning near 105th Street and Avenue N on Chicago's East Side, resulting in dozens of residents showing up to protest the federal immigration agents.

There is no conceivable argument that these ships, even if we assume they were carrying narcotics, could not be dealt with in some other way. I think we can just drop the caveats and say: This is mass murder.

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 1d

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Important to note that this isn’t a problem for the billionaire buying media properties. If they make them into successful rightwing propaganda? Cool more money. If it fails? Cool they’ve destroyed one of the few outlets with the resources to investigate them. Either way they achieved their goal

icymi, from june

97,000.
That figure comes via the Alliance for Audited Media, and it reveals that The Washington Post's average paid daily circulation has dropped below 100,000 for the first time in 55 years. To put that in perspective: 97,000 is the sort of figure you'd expect to see from a midsize regional paper like The Minnesota Star Tribune or The Seattle Times. Not from a globally recognized newsroom with multiple Pulitzers to its name.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.
