your vote has weight outside of election day. regardless of how you end up voting, until then you can bargain with it. the lesser evils are watching you, if you promise your vote for nothing you'll get nothing. say you wont vote for bad candidates. say you'll only vote for policies you like

major failing of left wing reactions to ICE is this line that they have no training or that they're taken in and on the streets very soon after. this isn't true - the agents who murdered Alex Pretti had each been with the agency for like a decade. this isnt a lack of training - they want to kill you

People who may want to have children in the future should bear this in mind: tear gas can have serious consequences for female reproductive health. The data on this isn't great but I would at least recommend ensuring you have a quality respirator or mask on at all times.

People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.
ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

i talk about american politics too much but wow this is actually hilarious. your state is under illegal occupation that has resulted in kidnappings, murders, and mass repression, and you're talking about the effect of tariffs on coffee that happened over 6 months ago?

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society.

How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

Lawyers can't reach clients in ICE detention. I've heard it anecdotally, but scale of issue is horrifying.

Bloomberg Law is a legal trade pub so many may miss this. Screenshot from their CA newsletter summarizes "bleak" situation for justice and rule of law.

Marimar Martinez is a hero.

She was shot 5 times by ICE.

The agent told her to “do something b*tch” before opening fire.

He later bragged “5 shots, 7 holes”.

DHS tried to smear her reputation but video footage vindicated her.

Next week she will testify in Washington about ICE’s brutality.

"judge is complicit in the growing fascist regime and its encroachment upon civil liberties and human rights"

no forgiveness. if you do not view this as rebellion against a fascist regime that is on track towards genocide and act accordingly, you are complicit. you will be treated as the enemy.

It baffles me that this doesn't get more coverage. Bin workers have been on strike in Birmingham for *A YEAR.*

I don't understand why this hasn't been dealt with. They are one of the most essential services, and will be experiencing extreme poverty by now.
Before Gorton and Denton today - an early morning start with the bin strikers in Birmingham on the picket line.

Solidarity. ✊🏼

this is just so incredibly nuts it's hard to describe. politics hasn't really been done like this on the scale since the age of kings, when the whims of an individual personality where so crucial to not just domestic politics but the politics of the countries next door and beyond.
Trump says he’s decertifying all aircraft made in Canada “until such time as Gulfstream, a Great American Company, is fully certified, as it should have been many years ago.”

He’s also threatening new tariffs on Canadian aircraft sold in the U.S.
