"What is unfolding is not immigration enforcement. It is a state project of ethnic rollback. The purpose is not to administer law but to override it. The aim is not security but purification. The prerogative state is not a bug—it is its essential operating system." open.substack.com/pub/theunpop...
Love is in the air at Edinburgh zoo. Pebbling marks the start of the breeding season for Gentoo penguins.
Kids at Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity painted pebbles for the penguins to choose from and present to their mates.
Voter Fraud ~ The Facts: Data Analysis of the Heritage Foundation Database (1999-2023) 77: Non-citizens who successfully cast a ballot over 24 years. 10: Undocumented immigrants who voted. 1 Billion+ Ballots: Estimated total votes cast in the U.S. (1999-2023) 0. 00000764: Minuscule % of ALL Votes The Bottom Line: Even using data from a conservative organization looking for fraud, the instances of non-citizen voting are statistically microscopic.
❇️ FACTS:
The 2020 election was NOT rigged.
Trump LOST both the popular vote AND the electoral college in 2020.
The (bullshit) SAVE act is designed to disenfranchise voters.
Republicans are on the WRONG side of history and they’re ANTI-American.
Republicans can NOT win unless they CHEAT.
This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
If this isn't abuse and fraud, I don't know what is.
We have no government right now.
This is what happens when you don't have a government.
(you get abused)
This is not getting enough attention.
Man if you all are not listening to @David_J_Bier then you are missing out. Dude has all the receipts
This is Summit. He is a friend to pretty much everyone he meets. But has a special soft spot for the little critters who stop long enough for him to say hello. 13/10 (IG: bakerbarnes)
They hate me because I fight. They attack me because I win.
I will do everything I can to protect free and fair elections. I will never back down.
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
“If the SAVE Act were to pass, it would be the worst voter suppression law that Congress has ever enacted."
Listen to the ages: 14m. 17m. 22m. 6y. Pregnant women unconscious. Seizing.
These are 911 calls from ICE’s Dilley detention center. When babies keep leaving in ambulances, that isn’t care. It’s a crisis behind fences.
Preserve evidence. protect families. demand review.

The man is, whatever his other faults, just way in over his head. Maybe Democrats should say that more often. The fact that he’s costing taxpayers a billion dollars a day on a war most of them didn’t want may be a good place to start. trib.al/oQGYMWP
🚨 Every Republican and Democrat needs to read this and share widely with friends. This is obscene Government waste. Absolutely no more money to DoD and DHS. Tell your Congress people.
This is sickening
It's scary how fast the hard-won civil rights progress that's been made over the last 60 years for Blacks, Women & LGBTQ, are being reversed by Republicans who fear losing power.
We must vote them out!💙

Fox News: New Jersey elementary school weighs renaming after Trump.
Naming a school in honor of a pedophile who raped children is the height of Republican hypocrisy.

🧵 This story was hard to digest, my friends. After you read this, you'll get an idea as to how bad slavery was. Let me tell you about Margaret Garner.

This is horrifying
Emmanuel Damas' death was entirely preventable.
He died from sepsis. That started as a tooth infection while under ICE detainment.
I’m urging DHS for a full investigation into his passing, and demanding proper medical care for all who remain behind the walls of these inhumane detention centers.
Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?
Slyngstad always gets it right…
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
The constitution's design does not grant the president a kinglike ability to take the country to war by himself, lest he do so for self-serving reasons. That is the entire purpose of dividing that authority between POTUS and Congress. Guess what just happened? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
January 6 terrorists are committing 100x more criminal offenses than immigrants yet immigrants and their families are being kidnapped, assaulted, detained and deported whilst January 6 terrorists are being compensated.
Members of Congress, federal officials, and their family members should never be allowed to profit from privileged information.
That is why @rephaleystevens.bsky.social, @repericsorensen.bsky.social, Rep. Derek Tran, and I are introducing a new bill to stop this. (1/2)

This cannot go on- this is wrong!
Very convincing call to cancel your ChatGTP subscription if you have one. There are very good reasons, it's painless as there are alternatives, and it may form part of an effective boycott!
