federal officials just told us they conducted a military raid in a major US city to capture 14 paper distribution workers —only 2 of which are even *alleged* to have done anything wrong— and they're disappearing them into a sprawling network of concentration camps and MPR covers it like it's normal.
Federal officials now say 14 people were arrested during a law enforcement operation earlier this week at a St. Paul manufacturer. A DHS spokesperson said one of the individuals arrested had past domestic abuse charges, and another person had allegedly illegally reentered the U.S.

obama’s refusal to prosecute cheney for the copious amount of crimes he committed is precisely why people lost faith in obama and democrats and it’s also why trump knows that he can get away with whatever he wants.

if you like obama and hate cheney you’re a complete moron.

There really is no ceasefire
🔴 In the past 48 hours, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported an additional 29 killed (23 of whom were recovered from the rubble) and 21 injured arriving at hospitals.

This brings the recorded death toll from the Israeli genocide in Gaza to 68,116 and 170,200 injuries (likely 3-5x higher)

Take note of each and every Democrat who doesn’t mention the massive massive amount of money that will be going to the secret police (ICE)
Senate Republicans just passed the Big Ugly Bill, which contains

- Massive tax cuts for billionaires
- Tax hikes for working Americans
- 17 million lose health care
- The biggest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP ever
- Higher energy costs
- Trillions in debt

It comes to the House now. We will fight this.

Funniest detail to me re: Thom Yorke's weird relationship to Israel is that it's the first place Creep really took off so Israel kinda launched Radiohead's career. Israeli music fans could not get enough of a song that asks "what the hell am I doing here" and answers with "I don't belong here."

incredible. he spends less than 1/8th of this statement addressing the actual issue — Israel’s explicit program of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid — and the rest of it is just him whining that people seem to expect him to denounce a state doing genocide, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid.
For those who need to know.. let me fill in the blanks

“wHy aRe yOu sTiLL taLkiNg aBoUt tHiS”

the average human does not trust people who they find out have lied to them.
it’s a basic fact of human socialization: when found out, a liar has a very short period of time to explain themselves before the relationship suffers irreparable damage.
