Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker on the first day of shooting.
50 years ago today, @markhamillofficial.bsky.social was preparing to film his first scene in a small film called Star Wars. Before the first lines were spoken, this photo was taken in... a galaxy far far away.
If you think republicans pull this kind of move out of “concerns for election security/integrity” they also have a bridge to sell you.
The impasse on the appropriation for DHS is over ICE funding. And yet, you don’t hear Republicans trying to sell the importance of funding ICE. They talk about TSA, the Coast Guard, and every other agency, but never mention the one that is the source of the problem. Wonder why?
Just in case anyone has doubts about Trump's plans for the midterms, he now openly admits that he wishes he had order troops to seize all voting machines in 2020.
With no one in the White House, Pentagon, or DOJ to stop him, he'll do it this time--unless Congress stops him first.
Noem says hundreds more ICE agents are expected to arrive in Minneapolis today and tomorrow. Please be prepared. Set up a network, check on neighbors regularly, know your rights, and have an action plan in place and ready.
You’ll notice that the American state media have completely ignored the fact that bribe for hire Pam Bondi hasn’t released a single Epstein file in 2026. They have deliberately and continuously failed humanity.
This regime is out of control.
“To settle this, it would be great if the White House would release the case files and any FBI recordings of Tom Homan’s meetings with undercover agents posing as businessmen...”

Most dystopian stuff I saw last week (always a competition) - Renee Good haters sharing a fake rap sheet that listed her age as 35 and her birth year as 1980.
It was the low quality that got me; audience so ready to believe "she deserved it," doesn't care if the math on the hoax doc is right.
Screenshot of a post on X by “Mayor Zoharan Kwame Ma…” saying that on day 8 of their administration, he and @GovKathyHochul announced the beginning of universal childcare in NYC. The post says New Yorkers will no longer be forced to choose between starting a family and continuing to live in the city they love, and adds: “This only happened because of you.” Below the text is a video thumbnail showing a man in a dark suit and maroon tie seated at a desk in an office with a lamp behind him; a subtitle on the video reads: “Freeze the rent for rent stabilized tenants,” and a speaker icon appears in the corner.
Turns out we can have nice things with the right, courageous leadership.
Right now there is not much difference between the Political Regimes in North Korea Russia Iran and America
Monday Thoughts from a Canadian🤔🍁
I don't disagree with this, and would simply add that the reason he feels he can accelerate in this way is because for what he's planning all he really needs is control of the United States Armed Forces and the money for his domestic interagency army—ICE, CBP, BOP, &c—the Big Beautiful Bill unlocked
ICE Drones coming to a city near you.
Let us all stand with Chairman Powell.
This story isn’t about Jerome Powell. It’s about whether your economic life is still insulated from raw political power.👇

Auchincloss: "When you have a badge & gun and you are interacting with a citizen who has committed no crime, the onus of responsibility is on you to exercise good judgment. Nobody watching that video will buy the argument that he had no other resort other than to shoot her in the face 3 times."
‼️ A Russian attack damaged a medical facility in Kherson's Dnipro district
A shell pierced the wall of one of the departments. Two nurses who were injured in the attack suffered contusions and mine-explosive injuries.

1/2 🧵Tell an authoritarian how much you hate him, and he gets a surge of energy, and comes at you even stronger.
Publicly ridicule him...and laugh at him, it's like you wield a magical power.
Humiliation destabilizes authoritarians by stripping status...without triggering fear.
Pastor: I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.'
If Donald Trump wasn't a pedophile he would probably release the Epstein files
The whole lot of them spent Jan. 6th lying about what happened 5 years ago. Why should anyone expect them to start telling the truth on January 7th?
I'm not like an avid TikTok user, but I swear I have already heard the song "Kristi Noem Is a Bird-Legged Ho" 20+ times today
If you have not heard it, have no fear, almost all of the lyrics are in the title
🇮🇷 Mass protests are taking place in Iran, the internet is being shut down across the country.

💥 39% odds on Polymarket that Iranian regime fall before 2027
Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.
