THEY ARE ARRESTING ELECTED OFFICIALS FOR PEACEFULLY OPPOSING THE REGIME’S ILLEGAL ACTIONS.

DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO OVERWHELM YOU. THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
NEW — Trump’s ICE has just arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.

Alongside residents and other officials, Baraka has been protesting outside a detention facility that’s set to help Trump’s mass deportation regime.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.

In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Here are all the years Andrew Cuomo as governor raided MTA coffers or cut MTA revenue for things like bailing out upstate ski resorts:

💰2011
💰2013
💰2014
💰2015
💰2016
💰2020
(He tried again in 2021 before he had to resign!)

He's promising to "fix" the systems that were broken by his own mismanagement

NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" — even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country.

Only women aged 18-40 should have the right to vote.

All others should be banned.
Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all?

Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left *at even higher rates*.

I'll be doing an #Avowed #Giveaway!

REPOST + FOLLOW = ENTRY

Love the flexibility, attention to detail, and freedom. It's open, vibrant, and exciting. The trailers did not do the game any justice. Expensive though.

I haven't had this much fun exploring an RPG since #BG3 or #DOSII.

Hi! Quick note: The Onion accidentally posted a stock photo from a vendor with an AI generated image in it. We pulled the post down once we found that out. Our commitment to not using AI is very real. It's in the union contract to disclose it if we ever do. World is a slop minefield and we're sorry.

🚨NEW: Trump's first-day executive orders are mostly torn straight out of the pages of Project 2025 - the policy agenda that during the election he explicitly disavowed and insisted would not be his White House agenda.

After distancing himself from the corporate policy agenda during his campaign, President Donald Trump is issuing executive orders torn straight from its pages.

Now that the Trump admin has tried to gut the bulk of the liberal state in under 48 hours and Musk did a sieg heil on live TV can our media stop acting like DOGE is concerned with “cutting govt waste” and insisting Dems should try and “work with Elon”. idk maybe we can start using some context clues

Who needs health research when Sam Altman needs $500 billion to develop the job killing machine.
They…turned off…National Institutes of Health grants? That’s nearly $50 billion of scientific research.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

"arm gesture"

The media are utterly complicit in normalizing the rise of fascism in the West.

In an interview today, Angela Epstein said she didn't feel offended by Elon's Nazi salute.

This is the same woman who kicked up a massive storm about Jeremy Corbyn pronouncing Jeffrey Epstein's (no relation) name in a way that she felt was too Jewish.

I hate every one of these freaks.

Just watched the new Mickey 17 trailer, and something has become crystal clear to me.

Movies are better when the main character has a silly little voice.

Everything MAGA fash does just oozes weird loser energy.

Even when they win, all the cult wants to talk about is changing the name of a gulf, pretending they don't know what a Nazi salute is, crying about people making fun of them online, etc.
