These ICE losers hate women so much
Patty, a woman observer in Minneapolis, was abducted from a car by federal agents today. She was released and talked about her experience in custody.

An agent said, "You guys gotta stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead."

You’ve posted about Renee Good’s murder by ICE @repricklarsen.bsky.social , will you publicly support impeaching Noem?
To keep track of it all, we thought we’d thread all the House reps that have committed to impeaching Kristi Noem. The first was @robinkelly.house.gov
I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.

Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.

Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.

Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

Just amazing. The whole right-wing spin machine trying to say it was about arresting Maduro for drug charges and he says this on TV.
Trump on Venezuela: "That was a perfect attack. We've taken over a whole country. We've taken $4 billion of oil in one day. That will increase."

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.
The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.

People seem shocked by the “follow police orders and you won’t get shot” talking point from Republicans. And that is an AWFUL thing to say, but it’s what they’ve been saying about police shootings of brown people for decades.
Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.

From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

A week ago polls showed overwhelming disapproval for military action in Venezuela, but suddenly all the conservatives online support it? They’re either brainwashed or bots.

This is a reminder for myself not to argue with people on Facebook.

Listen to this pathetic twerp trying to scold Tapper for not getting on the Imperialism bandwagon.

Nice to see a journalist give Miller the disrespect he deserves.
MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries

TAPPER: Sovereign countries shouldn't be able to do what they want?

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

I like the “don’t-engage-just-block” strategy, and will even block people who quote-dunk often.

Except for @darrylayo.bsky.social , because he’s a first-class hater (complimentary).

Not specific to the article being quoted, but this sums up right-wing thinking well.
The ability to ask these questions as if they weren‘t stupid & dishonest has been a key aim of both the new world-wide right-wing movement and of the Kremlin. They want us to think there‘s no truth, only opinion; no morality, only power; that all choices are morally equivalent, & only tribe matters.

It's as I said in the ⬆️ post, these people are unserious, sloppy serial liars who are quite literally dismantling the entire US government including healthcare, consumer protection, environmental protection & regulation etc etc and they continue to be taken seriously by these clowncar media outlets.
