Wtf is wrong with these bozos? (This is national DSA which undermines its quality local chapters & candidates with this kind of nonsense.)
NEW: DSA's National Political Committee passed two resolutions today aimed at Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, beginning processes that could result in DSA-LA being forced to rescind its endorsement of her this weekend and/or Raman herself being expelled from DSA by January.
This is a wonderful, inspiring story, and well worth your time.

NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
Jesus Christ why are governments (both fed & state) still doing business with this racist fascistic grifter responsible for the deaths of countless innocents? Cut his contracts! Don’t keep giving him more stuff! He’s a menace to humanity & I’m tired of paying this fucking loser with my tax dollars!

When you step back a second and consider that this Administration has committed so many crimes, both against the laws of the land and against humanity, that they are trying to manufacture charges against Omar becomes even more enraging.
WSJ: 'The Trump administration’s investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar is aimed at building a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and other people familiar with the probe'
I dunno but it seems like the rapid disintegration of what’s left of the current president’s brain ought to be a bigger story. Anyway, I was reliably and repeatedly told Joe Biden was too old I guess?
Trump's brain is busted: "You couldn't vote. They wouldn't let you vote. And they grabbed her and they said 'you'll vote over here,' and they took her to a Democrat area. She voted. She came back. You couldn't vote. They came back late in the night."

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...
WTAF??? and who has the power to stop these fascist goons?
🚨 Latest from the border wall blockade: tree sit is still up, one land defender is locked down to machinery, Border Patrol has wrapped a Mylar blanket around them and is running the truck and pumping the blanket full of exhaust to try to gas them out, potentially killing them.

More callous & pointless destruction of irreplaceable and beautiful things. Just the stupidest mfers in charge of everything & we’re all incapable of slowing their roll. (See earlier post about bulldozing over ancient Nazca images back in April.) I cannot wait for the fall of this empire of idiots.
Protesters had protected the tree for more than 70 days. It was cut down Monday to make way for a double border wall
JFC there is no corner of creativity that AI won’t steal and slop. Just burn it all down, man.

Everyone involved in this process — including the Palantir employees — have to be investigated and probably go to jail.
NEW: DHS agents tracked people observing ICE arrests, photographed them, ran their plates, pulled personal information, and added them to a Palantir database, according to newly unsealed court filings. w/ @regret.bsky.social

Pope Leo XIV celebrated Mass with an estimated 800,000 people in Paris on Saturday, after spending the morning with migrants, the poor, and adults newly entering the Catholic Church. “For Christians,” he added, “the poor are not a sociological category, but the very ‘flesh’ of Christ.”

Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?
Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."
