We're gonna end up in a world war, all because Republicans couldn't stand up to a mentally deficient, morally bankrupt, intellectually fetal spray-tanned rapist. Great work, kids...

Let’s say you needed a Reichstag… —Target Minneapolis where George Floyd was murdered. —Have Elon Musk promote racist propaganda about Somalis to raise the temperature. —Send Noem & thousands of paramilitary federal agents in to cause chaos. —Wait for the inevitable violence. —When protests break out, use it as an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act and bring in the military. —When protests spread across America, impose martial law. —Cancel elections.

I can’t say what I really feel because I need to keep my job and provide for my family.
A witness shared this video with me showing an ICE officer shooting a driver in an SUV in south Minneapolis. DHS says the woman is dead.

From Tas to the Top End tree death rates are rising, meaning less carbon stored and more pressure on biodiversity. Forests can’t offset ongoing fossil gas and coal. We need to cut climate pollution by slashing fossil fuels faster to combat climate change. abc.net.au/news/science/2026…

You're not allowed to be Palestinian and attend public events in the Loser Colony anymore it seems, and apparently you're responsible for all terrorism. Everyone needs to rise up, now. Fuck Israel and its evil lackeys for all eternity
Absolutely disgraceful from the Adelaide Festival. I hope other participants reconsider their part in it.

the thing about that “first they came for” poem is that we’re at least halfway through it, and it’s not a very long poem

If you’re outraged over Charlie Kirk’s shooting but can shrug off ICE shooting a woman in the face while she was trying to flee, you’re not principled, you’re in a cult. You’re a hypocrite. Watching that video shook me to my soul.

This is an outrageous decision by @adelaidefest. I stand in solidarity with @RandaAFattah and against this blatant censorship and racism.
The Adelaide Festival Board, has today advised scheduled writer Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah that they do not wish to proceed with her scheduled appearance at next month’s Writers’ Week. Full statement: bit.ly/AF-Statement

“They have stolen my harvest and taken everything from us they’ve left us with absolutely nothing. They’ve destroyed our identity.” A Palestinian grandfather cries after Zionist settlers destroyed his olive groves and stole the olives in Tulkarem (West Bank).

“Door to door?” The Fourth Amendment still exists. This is starting to look disturbingly like Germany in the 1930s.
JD Vance; "I think we're gonna see those deportation numbers ramp up as we get more and more people online, working for ICE, going door to door"

Quietly, without much scrutiny, NSW has climbed into the global top 10 rankings of jurisdictions with the most heavy-handed anti-protest laws. The media treats this normal. It’s isn’t. #auspol

ICE violently detain man asleep in his cruise ship cabin—a U.S. citizen & veteran of Coast Guard. Agents jump on bed to tackle undressed wife—rip phone out of her hand to stop filming. "This is not the country I served for," he said. "It's not the America I knew 10 years ago." Jose Martinez and Tamara Verhas were eventually released—but only after they were forced to delete all the photos and videos from their phone. The incident occurred on the last day of a Carnival Cruise in the Caribbean. #DemsUnited
