The difference between the Iranian uprising and what will happen in the US is, if the Trump regime disables the internet, Elon Musk will not turn on Starlink for the protesters.

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.

Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.

If you didn’t love Mamdani before, check out the bomb he drops at rhe end of this article. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...
The Democratic Socialist's mother, Mira Nair, is also a Hollywood filmmaker. She has one Oscar nomination, stemming from 1988's Salaam Bombay!, which also won the Camera d'Or at Cannes. In a 2025 profile with Nair, THR wrote that her Golden Globe-nominated film Monsoon Wedding is when she "became an indie darling. " Nair's additional credits include The Namesake (2006); The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2013); and Queen of Katwe (2016), among others. The director was previously approached to helm Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, though she has said her son, Mamdani, talked her out of directing the project, telling her that "anyone can direct Harry Potter; only you can direct The Namesake."

NO YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING YOU DENSE JACKASS

ICE doesn’t have bad training! ICE has been sent here to incite violence against my community, and they’re obeying because the culture is irreparably twisted!! The agency must be reduced to rubble!

Q: Is it your posture to put restrictions on ICE as a condition for funding DHS?

JEFFRIES: Renee Good should be alive. There was no justification. There are common sense measures that need to put in place so ICE can conduct itself in manner at least consistent w/ every other law enforcement agency

If your goal is to have a general strike happen and work you should be spending like 100% of your time and effort right now organizing and radicalizing truckers, railroad workers, longshoremen and logistics workers. That's the sector with the "destroy society if they stop working for a week" switch

Hakeem Jeffries is afraid of a bad poll, meanwhile the observers and neighbors here on the ground in Minneapolis are afraid of being beaten senseless, dragged into a car, and raced out of their neighborhood. They’re not yielding but he is. Consider new leaders, Democrats

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

the goal is for twitter, palantir, anduril, and maybe a few others to become like IG Farben under Nazi Germany and to fuse directly with the government, which will provide them access to government money and probably slave labor in return for assistance with propaganda and violence

We'd All Miss Private Health Insurance

By me and R. E. Ryan.

Read more cartoons! --> #PoliCartoon
Support our cartoons! --> patreon.com/barry
TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has four panels, all showing a protest in front of a state government capital building, with marchers holding placards. We're focused on two people talking, on a thin blonde man in a suit, the other a fatter guy in a pink shirt, carrying a sign that says "MEDICARE FOR ALL." PANEL 1 Suit, with an annoyed expression, is talking at Pinkshirt. SUIT: Medicare For All? Ridiculous! Did you know that most Medicare For All proposals ban private health insurance? PANEL 2 Pinkshirt slaps a palm over his face and looks horrified. Suit is startled. PINKSHIRT: No private insurance? Oh no! The horror! How could I stand not paying more than my rent for insurance that doesn't even kick in until I've spent $5000? PANEL 3 A close up of Pinkshirt, wide-eyed and sweating. PINKSHIRT: How terrible if I could pick any doctor! Imagine the trauma of not losing health insurance if I lose my job! Sob! PANEL 4 Pinkshirt had fallen dramatically to his knees. Suit scowls at Pinkshirt. SUIT: I can tell you're being sarcastic, you know. PINKSHIRT: The poor insurance company executives! Why didn't I think of the harm to them! CHICKEN FAT WATCH "Chicken fat" is obsolete cartoonist lingo for fun but irrelevant details in the art. In panel 1, an inflatable frog costume has a frown on its face. In panel 2, the frog has started to blow up a balloon with zebra stripes. In panel 4, the inflatable zebra has joined the inflatable frog, and both are smiling. The tattoo on Pinkshirt's arm at first shows an egg in the nest. Then, in the next panel, cracks have appeared in the egg. In the final panel, an adorable chick has hatched. Protest signs: "generic background PROTEST sign, which isn't important and you didn't need to read this, but now you have." "Down with this sort of thing." "Proofreaders need health insurence," with the "e" in the last word crossed out and replaced with an "a." "No!" "Bad Doggie" "Careful Now" "I Can't Afford My Spleen"

I don’t know how anyone can look at what’s happening in Minnesota and think “this is a regime that intends to allow for a peaceful transition of power.”

Not presenting or not having proof of citizenship on your person is not a legal/valid basis for either reasonable suspicion or probable cause. What occurs in the video is gang violence, not law enforcement. It’s not ambiguous. It’s felonies.

I'm going to post the link to the video but not the actual video which autoplays and is utterly brutal. Instead I'm posting the photo of the man before ICE assaulted him.

bsky.app/profile/dmbm...
Photo of young man in car who has literally just had his driver side window busted out by ICE, captured by a photographer and posted to Getty images. This was likely the beginning of the video that ends with him surrounded by agents who choked him out, eventually dragged his limp body face first across the pavement as they cuffed him and took him away.

Remembering when law enforcement killed a teenage girl when she tried to run away from her father (towards the police), who had killed her mother and then abducted her.

The Highway Code rule 112b: LED headlights
[Cartoon strip pastiche of the Highway Code, with illustrations describing the text] [Title panel]: The Highway Code Rule number 112b: LED headlights In recent years, many new cars have been fitted with extra-bright LED headlights. LED headlights increase safety by illuminating every detail of the road ahead Including the face of the person driving a metal box towards you at a combined speed of 80mph Whom you have just blinded with your LED headlights. LED headlights must be fitted at eye-level on a great big murderous wall of car. [Show a car crumpling into the front of a high-fronted SUV, bathed in light from the blinding headlamps] They must be permanently on full beam, because you are insane. And they should be bright enough to make other drivers think they are ascending into a blinding vortex of alien light Like them old people in the classic Ron Howard film, Cocoon (1985). [Show illustration of the final scene where the older people on the boat are being yoinked up into the blindingly-illuminated cloaca of the big spaceship] So remember: you must use LED headlights To prevent everyone from not crashing into you. [Image shows this happening] [Ends]

I'm not encouraging people to set up a fake Tinder/Hinge profile, go to one of the hotels where ICE are barracked, reduce the match radius and then Catfish any agents within but I am saying that it would be very easy to do.

You notice how thousands and thousands of cops aren't coming out to condemn Jonathan Ross for senselessly killing Renee Good?

This is what people mean by "all cops are bastards". If this were any other profession, the entire group would condemn it. With cops it's the reverse, they all justify it.
