“She shouldn’t have been there”
“She was obstructing vehicles”
“She was smiling”
“Her wife was rude to the ICE agent”
None of these things justify shooting and killing someone
It’s giving big “she wore a short skirt and drank too much” vibes
Stop defending the indefensible
Best bet for Europe is to continue threatening the Silicon Valley tycoons and broligarchs with economic boycotts.
Go after the money. Hurt their bottom line.
The only thing that might avert war.
These people still prefer the color green over white.
I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.
Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.
This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.
Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”
Really listen to it.
The sound the universe makes when confronted with PURE EVIL. 😳👇
Don’t let them convince you that you don’t have a right to protest.
Don’t let them say that showing up for your fellow human being doesn’t matter.
Don’t let them scare you into silence.
Documenting ICE atrocities saves lives.
It’s our best chance to hold them accountable.
Trump's pre-election campaign “confession” on Nov 4 in PA:
"He looked at some that were just shipped in, some of these vote-counting computers. He knew it before it even came in the door. He looked like at the back of it.”
"Oh, I know that one.” “I mean, he knows that's how – I mean, he knows this stuff better than any. And he actually said – and this is for the good of everybody, it's the good of mankind, essentially."
Oct 25, 2024, Murdoch's WSJ drops a bombshell on Musk's two+ years of private contact with Putin.
Interestingly, they’d just had a private supper the week before.
Why would Murdoch risk the "October Surprise," considering he is IN the "Billionaire brain trust," unless he knew the "fix" was in?
As Musk was building out the low-orbit DTC constellation, he was also hosting weekly "Billionaire brain trust" meetings, and overseeing the ground-level infrastructure needed to pull off a mass-scale election exploit.
**A supercomputing cluster ≈ 18-24 mos to build, only took Musk 19 days
WHY?
The Eaton/Palantir partnership focused on secure erasure of digital footprints on Eaton devices, and on Al management of large datasets.
Datasets such as large quantities of ballot images.
Also of note, Peter Thiel has ownership in Polymarket, another company with ties to the outcome of the U.S. election.
Polymarket had eerily accurate predictions of a Trump victory, and was raided shortly after the Nov 5 election.
In Sept 2024, Eaton Corp. announced another partnership, this time with Trump's single largest campaign contributor, Elon Musk (via Tesla), further dirtying the election waters, and providing a convenient cover for their correspondence and monetary connections.
Which begs the question:
Why is a private, supposedly "neutral" election/ voting system company sourcing core components from far-right individuals with direct connections to Donald Trump?
Hey Mark,
Did you know the company that maintains our election equipment was sold by Leonard Leo to Eaton Corp., and is now partners with Elon Musk and Peter Thiel?
Now you do: 👇🏽

If you think Trump fighting antisemitism has a suspicious smell, you're onto something. The stench comes from none other than the Heritage Foundation and Christian Zionists' Project Esther. #BlueCrew #ProudBlue www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
We speak to investigative reporter Katie J.M. Baker about "Project Esther," The Heritage Foundation's blueprint to crush the pro-Palestinian movement in the United States.
You’ve heard about Project 2025, but what about Project Esther, the Heritage Foundation’s plan to eradicate Palestinian activism in the US which Trump is now enacting.
"If you come for the legal rights of one of us, you come for the rights of all of us."
We firmly reject MAGA attempts to suppress our rights in order to move a dangerous, undemocratic, anti-immigrant agenda.
They've come for students, immigrants, and now elected officials.
We will fight back.
“We have never been welcomed. We’ve always been outcasts. We fight for survival every single day. We’ve never felt ‘safe’ because the world is not a safe place for people with disabilities. We aren’t surprised by what’s happening right now because we saw it coming. We are ready to meet this moment”

My mother & I had to park about half a mile away; if she didn't have a handicapped license plate, we'd have had to park over a mile away. It was worse than during CHERRY FESTIVAL. This was the scene we came upon at the Government Bldg around 1:05PM, 5 minutes after the scheduled start of the rally - what looked to me to be at LEAST 2K people, spilling out of the parking lot onto the streets in each direction (they lined 8th St, eliciting honks all afternoon that competed wih the speeches - which was fine with those of of us int he back who couldn't hear them, anyway). You can JUST make out the two cops atop the building itself, surveying the scene - presumably keeping an eye out for potential violence. I immediately imagined a mass shooting; it's where my mind goes. Neither of the cops appeared armed with more than their service revolvers, which I assume were holstered. Can't imagine what good those would do from a rooftop. See? I could go down this road for an hour. What do you do if someone starts shooting? Me, I hit the deck. Running is not an option. You're an easier target; they don't aim at the ground, anyway, Best play dead, is my thinking. HOLY SHIT, SHUT UP, you lunatic. Anyway... we ended up in the back - better for me & my agoraphobia, though I DID wander around the edges taking pictures & video. Very proud of myself, people. Going to events like this is not the simple act it once was.
The view from where my mother & I were - WAY WAY in the back, behind what MUST have been 2K people. The signs were great, as I'm sure they were all over the country. Mom & I didn't get creative, just "Musk Must Go, Follow the Law, Hands Off," that kind of thing. But others were AMAZING. I particularly liked "You can't spell HATRED without RED HAT," which frankly blew my tiny mind. Saw several versions of "It's so bad even the introverts are here," which - hello, YES. "Now you've pissed off GRANDMA" was also a good one. Plenty of "Fuck the Fascists" & such. I like the clever ones best. Saw "Are we great yet? 'cause I just feel so embarrassed & exhausted." But she misspelled "Embarrassed," which bummed me out JUST a tad. Sigh. I am SUCH an asshole.
Another shot from behind. Mostly I just got shots of people's backs, sorry. Oh - man, there were a LOT of men in KILTS, for some reason. Didn't get any pictures of that. Sorry, I spent most of my time actually participating in the event, talking to strangers (GAH!), making sure my 81 year old mother was okay... I did take a bunch of video, but of course I got too caught up in it & failed to keep them short enough to post, so now I have to figure out how to EDIT them. God, I am so technologically impaired for someone who's been doing this online computer thing for the better part of 30 years. How the hell did I manage it?
MORE BACKS! The real point of all these pictures is just to show the SEA of people & their signs. Oh - and that blue, blue sky. It was sunny & cool. The wind was pretty strong - but it was around 47°, even if the windchill cut that by a few degrees. I was wearing a couple hoodies & two pairs of yoga pants, & I was fine - no jacket. I'll post some pics of me & my mom in the comments. Anyway - this was TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN!

PROTEST: TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN - APRIL 5, 2025
They projected 1K. This was much closer to 2K+.
Parking was a nightmare! It was beautiful.
Our population is 16K in the city limits.
It felt like half of us were there.
I hope the damned Record-Eagle gives this the coverage it warrants.
NPR member station photographers documented what they saw at the demonstrations against the Trump administration, from cuts and layoffs to federal departments, to mass deportations.
What I mean is...
They never give a shit about the protests - until they find themselves on the receiving end of the anger that DROVE the protests.
They don't pay attention to us AS we protest. Or, if they do, it's to send in troops to disperse us. Cops in riot gear.
Idiots. They never learn.
I entreat you home with me to dinner.
