Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Every Tesla lot I have seen the NY metropolitan area has been full, the shortage isn't so intense as to be impacting most dealer inventory because no one is buying them

Yeah, I'm sure fans of Tesla were aware but to think that is the explanation for why sales have plummeted is just not rational man

(and pirate the hell out of everything that isn't available on physical)

All of the consumers "you know I heard they were decreasing production, let's buy less to give them a break until the assembly line is refreshed..."

It's not like the lots are short of car stock, man

And what about cyber trucks? Give me a break (you know, like a cyber truck window and a baseball)

Huh that's some interesting mental gymnastics, nice one

People who survived fascism learned to love the sound of children playing loudly. Because in the camps, they were quiet.

Just a reminder. Whenever someone asks "but how are we going to pay for it?" regarding some public / governmental good, it is a red herring, because the US government is spending billions and raising taxes for useless deportations, just to "make a point."

Kristi Noem refused to say who financed some of her travel. It was taxpayers who were on the hook An Associated Press analysis of recently released travel records found more than $150,000 in expenses tied to Noem’s political and personal activity.

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

Eastern Monarch Butterfly Population Nearly Doubles The population wintering in central Mexico's forests occupied 4.42 acres, up from 2.22 acres during the previous winter.

According to The Standard, British cartoonist R.E. Burke has finally been released from the Tacoma detention center after spending 20 days inside. This never should have happened but we're so glad to know they're heading home. www.standard.co.uk/news/world/b...

Well that’s a headline I did not except to see. Ever.

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more.

Taking back our power starts now.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

It turns out rule of law was on the ballot.

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard.

Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

That's good advice for literally anyone in any situation! 😁
