Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,

Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

Over 90% of transgender and nonbinary people surveyed in Norway satisfied with gender-affirming care outcomes A survey of transgender and nonbinary people in Norway finds that the vast majority who have received gender-affirming care are satisfied with the treatment outcomes, including 93% of those who received hormones and 96% of those who underwent surgery. The findings, included in a new report by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law in collaboration with the University of Agder, Norway, show that transgender men and women were more likely than nonbinary people to have obtained gender-affirming health care. The share of study participants who reported having made most of the changes they wanted -socially, medically, or in other ways -was highest among transgender men (35%), followed by transgender women (18%), nonbinary people assigned female at birth (16%), and nonbinary people assigned male at birth (0%). Using data from a nationwide sample of 579 transgender and nonbinary people in Norway, researchers examined gender-affirming health care needs, care experiences, and overall health and wellbeing across gender identity groups.

If this was any other set of medical treatments, the entire medical community would be scrambling to study how they could improve their own treatments.

Still waiting for those Epstein files to be released

Five years since January 6, 2021. A mob incited by Donald Trump attacked the U.S. Capitol to try to overturn an election he lost. Don't let them rewrite history. This was an attack on the Constitution and the peaceful transfer of power. Never forget.

Don't watch Schumer's tepid responses on Jen Psaki's show tonight, then.

NEW: MAYOR FREY: “They are already trying to spin this as an act of self defense. I’ve seen the video myself and I want to tell everybody directly; that is bullshit.”

Picture of the concentration camp, CECOT. A guard stands in front of a prison cell, packed with three columns and four rows completely full of men, sitting cross legged, with no space. I’d say there are 70+ men in each cell. The lighting in the picture is bright white, and we are told the lights stay on for 24 hours. Only 3% of the hundreds of men sent here had legitimate criminal records.

A black and white picture from the WW2 Holocaust archives where men are laying down on shelves in a concentration camp. I man stands to the right, emaciated with his robes showing and pants barely hanging on. These men at least have bowls for food. And it looks like the lights eventually go off.

I watched the CBS 13 minute segment on CECOT, and this is what I saw.

ICE documents reveal plan to hold 80,000 immigrants in warehouses The Trump administration wants to build seven large-scale deportation hubs to speed up deportations, internal ICE documents show.

concentration camps.

If I don't read this article, it won't happen to me. 😆

In a just world we wouldn’t even need the Epstein files to believe Trump is a predator. A bunch of women have already said so. Plus a jury even found him liable.

The president of the United States is insane. Full stop.

It's really gotta be something, watching this insanity from a place of normality. We're mired in it and it just keeps getting worse while everyone is pretending everything is normal.

This colonial horror is happening now in Denmark.

A Certain Kind of Hero Tina Certain didn’t flinch, and Florida’s phony “free speech” enforcers couldn’t handle it.

I’m tired of living in upside-down world.

Pedophilia is not OK.
Killing strangers in boats is not OK.
Attacking priests and moms and dads and people here to work and go to church is not OK.
Taking rights away from people of color and women and LGBTQ folks is not OK.

And it’s evil to say otherwise.

Also I just wanna say that the idea that me too was a walk in the park and it could happen to anyone at random...

Literally go fuck yourself.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.

The ENTIRE FUCKING EAST WING?

Where are all the rightie hand-wringers about “erasing history” NOW?

I didn't get a picture of the best sign I saw today, but I remember what it said:

Somewhere in America
A little Hispanic girl
Is hiding in an attic
And keeping a diary.

DC J6: 1.500 arrests
DC No Kings: zero

Tell me again which side is violent?

It took 20 years to go from Dan Rather to Bari Weiss.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Here's Michael Knowles a month ago once again calling for the "eradication of transgenderism" and here is a man who threatened to shoot up a gay bar because he wanted to "eradicate transgenderism." This was retweeted by prominent conservatives such as Chris Rufo.

This is stochastic terrorism.

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it? 

I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism. 

So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.
