I mostly RT. I'm a blue dot in Ohio, USA. I used to get mad at myself for still getting upset & shocked at cruelty. But it's actually my 💔 & soul crying out at each injustice. We shouldn't want to lose that. often Team Cringe 🫣 she/her

- Reposted by EmsThe Israeli gov has finally admitted that the data from the Gaza Health Ministry on the number of Palestinians killed is in fact accurate. I continue to be astounded by the shamelessness of genocide deniers. And I fear that the actual number of Palestinians killed is far greater.

- Reposted by EmsWe are seeing the convergence of all of these tactics across media, and the absolute purge at the @washingtonpost.com of some 300 staff and entire news divisions at one of this nation’s greatest newspapers while an open ideologue has been handed CBS’s reins are signs of a democracy in deep decline.
- Reposted by EmsWe've paid 12 families rents in less than two hours. I will keep taking signal requests for people that want to do this because it's the first thing that is working pretty seamlessly.
- Reposted by EmsElon Musk's net worth just hit $800 billion. How? One of his corporations acquired another one of his corporations. Meanwhile, Elon's companies pay next to nothing in federal income taxes and get billions of dollars in government contracts. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
- Reposted by EmsArguing about masks probably delights Stephen Miller et al because it means people aren’t talking about ethnic cleansing.
- Reposted by EmsThe Klan didn’t wear masks out of shame or fear of getting caught. They did it because it was a distraction, and they thought it was funny.
- Reposted by EmsAlso, I would just like to point out (again): They are already doing this. They called in BOMB THREATS to majority Black precincts in Georgia in 2024. This is not new, they're just talking about doing it out loud now, and more directly in more places. Pay attention to folks already fighting it!
- Reposted by EmsNot enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop. ICE must be abolished.

- Reposted by EmsPer the EAC, 95,815 polling places were used in the 2024 elections. That's an enormous number, and it just won't do to say, "Well, they'll only go after the blue states/cities," because a) that's *still* an enormous number and b) look what just happened in a Trump+17 district in Fort Worth.

- Reposted by Ems2 weeks ago, the El Paso Medical Examiner ruled the death of a Cuban ICE detainee a homicide. This time, when a 32-year-old Nicaraguan man died, ICE bypassed the county medical examiner in favor of a military facility. They won’t publicly release a ruling. www.texastribune.org/2026/02/03/t...

- Reposted by EmsTrump says ICE agents will use Anton Chigurh's captive bolt pistol to murder legal observers instead of shooting them 9 times. Journalists praise this "softer touch" to summary executions.
- Reposted by Emsi keep saying this. and besides the logistics, publishing news with zero institutional protection when crusading antiwoke grifters are now being supported by the highest levels of government feels very risky, to say the least
- Reposted by EmsIn case anyone thinks OP is exaggerating the point
- Reposted by EmsRemember when Republican governors hurled human bodies at liberal states and cities, without any coordination or additional resources, as a form of trying to “make a point” about the border? Well now you’re getting your way with the militarized mass deportation project you —not just Trump— wanted…

- Reposted by EmsI can't speak to whether it is actually bortac and whether it is actually mortar launchers but I mentioned in my piece yesterday that I had witnessed tear gas being launched in the air in an arc over people's heads. This video I found on IG shows what I described
- Reposted by EmsRon Wyden has long form of doing what he can to flag when classified stuff is happening he doesn’t like but can’t talk about. Releasing this letter feels like an *extremely* strong hint of…something.
- Reposted by EmsMy story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

- Reposted by EmsNormal people are out there doing extraordinary things. My mom's health aide emailed me: ICE took 2 of her neighbors; when she told them they weren't welcome, she was met w/a rifle. Now she's driving a neighbor to work hidden in the back of her car & escorting the neighbor's kids to the bus stop.

- Reposted by EmsI'm not sure people appreciate quite what a blow to Starmer's government the acquittal of the Palestine Action protestors is. It both blows apart the whole proscription idea and demonstrates how out of touch they are. This was a jury. Juries represent the public.
- Reposted by EmsCalifornia and New Jersey have set up online portals where residents can report ICE crimes. The states will keep these databases so they or the federal government can conduct prosecutions in the future. California: www.offmessage.net/p/california... New Jersey: bsky.app/profile/kras...

- Reposted by EmsWait wait wait, this "drawdown" is because sheriffs agreed to break state law to help DHS with nazi crimes on the stipulation their legal costs are covered when people rightly say hey fucko thats illegal? This isn't a drawdown, it is just replacing some DHS goons with regular cops
- Reposted by EmsYes, we were sold out by our state leadership and now leadership has said that it is OK for the sheriffs to illegally detain Americans so at this point we have been completely pacified and sold out by our elected leadership These Nazis killed two citizens in the street and state sold us out.
- Reposted by EmsThere was an abduction in front of my apartment this morning. Afterwards, a Hennepin County Sheriff car drove by. Around 10-15 of us screamed at them for help, seeking assistance with the abandoned, window-smashed car. Some ran after them. They continued driving. 😑
