Due to the media blackout, even I didn't know until just now that Pussy Riot, the Russian female anti-Putin protestors, have been taking part in anti-ICE demonstrations in the US since last year. They just recently protested alongside US activists at 7 different concentration camp locations.

Especially since all roads lead to #Putin, I love to see this kind of international solidarity.

OMG. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

This is Virginia Dillard, who at 105 years of age refused to do curbside or absentee voting; instead, she wanted to walk in and serve as a role model for young people. The first article is about her vote in the primary this year. The picture below seems to be from early voting for the general election. Both interviews with her are very worthwhile.

If she can go vote, who can't? Thank you, Virginia Dillard!

Boston-based comedian Robby Roadsteamer has been extremely brave throughout Trump 2.0, storming ICE offices and other gatherings of assorted Nazis. Apparently he went into the rally in #Ohio dressed as the Jeffry Epstein Giraffe (his usual costume) and sang his remix of YMCA about Trump on the #Epstein plane. #Trump heard him, turned around, saw him, and saw his middle finger. Pro-child rape MAGAs booed and Roadsteamer got thrown out.

The Dems just released more details about Trump's rape allegations and the coverup. This should be getting more attention than the Cheesecake Factory thing.

Republicans were more offended by the perceived diss to a restaurant than the comparison to Saddam Hussein, or this. And corporate media outlets still mostly want to play ball with that.

At least you can be sure that the nation's bridge trolls are out there putting the real headlines on bridges.

There also seems to be a too little too late cleanup operation going on, with ICE firing the walking red flags no normal agency would have hired.

The Washington Examiner is a garbage far right source, but ironically it's posting more information about ICE's failures and implosions than previously respectable corporate media.

It was always obvious that DHS' claims to have 100k or 200k applications was a ridiculous lie. Shortly after claiming that, Kristi "Puppy Killer" Noem dropped the lower age limit from 21 to 18 and dispensed with upper age limits.

A great effort to highlight on #IndigenousPeoplesDay: Sean Sherman grew up on the Pine Ridge Oglala Lakota Sioux reservation. Low quality, processed government food (such as the regime rails against!) is responsible for a lot of metabolic disease in Native communities.

Forced assimilation stripped many Natives of their traditional knowledge of living sustainably off the land, so Sherman became a chef and painstakingly reconstructed these practices.

Random thought that I'm sharing because it's fun: after all the Islamophobic attacks and Red Scare BS, Trump says Zohran Mamdani could be an "all time great mayor." We've seen how weirdly nuts Trump is about Mamdani.

Imagine how Rudy Giuliani feels. You lose all your money and get disbarred for a guy and he's a fan boy of your vastly superior replacement.

Stephen Miller's arrogant overconfidence is one big reason the Trump ship is sinking. Thune is just making the least worst decision that is still available.

But hey, I won't get in the way of good old fashioned MAGA circular firing squad! The blame game is gonna turn into the BLAM! game soon, and I'm here for it.

Kid Rock and Dog the Bounty Hunter wanted to hold a "Freedom Fest" MAGA concert on the 26th. It has been canceled because only six people wanted to pay to attend.

This was just posted by Talarico's campaign. While Valero has worse issues than other chains because of a refinery explosion earlier this year, it's real.

This redditor is talking about it too. (Plus the comments are amusing.)

And they're just the first gas station chain to have these signs in Texas; others will surely follow.

Yes this all sucks ass but GET READY FOR BLUE TEXAS. 🌊

In early 2025 they thought they could do anything without us resisting. They're cowards and they can't imagine being at all brave. Minneapolis was a desperate attempt to crush the resistance; individual resisters there reported ICE agents telling them they should have "learned" from the murder of Renee Good. They expected fear and got rage instead.

On ICE watch we've been concerned that the quieter tactics used under Markwayne Twonames would be more effective, and unfortunately....

Today the WaPo is reporting that #ICE is reviewing new recruits' records like a normal agency would have done in the hiring process, and they are firing people. One ICE Nazi, Joseph Moore, committed suicide upon learning he was being fired.

I'd rather bite off a foot than read the WaPo these days, so I read a summary from Here's Why Kevin (Kevin Ortega-Rojas), who is not a Nazi.

Some guy named Nicholas Wilson, REPRESENTING HIMSELF, just got Trump's #DOJ to admit that #Trump lost the 2020 election.

After six years of Trump claiming he won in 2020, this dude called Trump's bluff and said "Okay, you won three times? That violates the 22nd Amendment. You're not eligible to be president." The DOJ was forced to state the truth to have the case thrown out. 💀

It's disgusting to talk about the tragedy of war in terms of oil prices, but that is all MAGA cares about. Until we fix things in the US, it matters what some of the cruelest, most willfully ignorant people on the planet think.

And the crap is about to hit the fan with gas prices. Right before the election. I am really sorry for everyone who didn't vote for this who will be impacted, but at least it will help discourage MAGA voters.

Well, I dealt with a certain amount of government stupidity today, described in my last thread. But I am surely having a better day than Trump/Vance and whatever twerps arranged this #Dallas #Texas midterm #Republican convention.

According to the article, they are giving away tickets because nobody was buying them. But from early pics on social media that does not seem to have helped their cause.

Right after Trump's inauguration, AOC was telling us to find our like minded community members. She suggested getting to know your neighbors and coworkers you vibe with. That's a good suggestion, and I'm certainly not here to discourage that.

I would add: right now, before the crisis, go find your local pro-immigrant rights group. Find your local pro-LGBT rights group. Find a food bank to help at. Volunteer for a local campaign that is best positioned to beat your version of the Nazis.

I mentioned earlier that the answer is not to dump on the 75-80% of Germans who abhor AfD, it's to defeat Putin in Ukraine so that all our situations improve. He's the source of most of the hateful propaganda that is destabilizing our countries.

Also: having been resisting in the streets against fascism in the US for 18 months, I'd like to add another thought. Everyone who is (rightly) scared for their country, you don't have to go through this!
