Jail the bitch

Mike Elk@mikeelk.bsky.social

Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

So…MAGA has decided that they’ll close their campaign on Islamophobia. On anti-Muslim hate. Let’s show them what we think of this racist BS. By voting against it. In BIG NUMBERS. Let’s go!

I think the lesson from Lula is not never talk about the opposition; it's articulate a positive vision that's basically, We Can Just Do Things. That's why Mamdani-ism is so popular - voters have an intrinsic sense that their electeds have agency they're not using

I’m all for this. Ban all prediction markets too. Those are basically gambling sites. I see you, Kalshi

jamelle@jamellebouie.net

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

Ohioans, get out and vote. The slimy Vivek must not win

Asawin Suebsaeng@swin24.bsky.social

Vivek could still win here; I’m not finding many senior republicans in Ohio or Trumpland who think his chances are good, which would have less than a year ago been an insane thing to say about a trump backed gop gubernatorial candidate in Ohio

Say 1/3 of what Trump says about Somalis about Jewish people or Christians and you’ll be denaturalized and/deported

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."

In the not too distant future, I’m sure it will be considered a crime and antisemitic to refer to the West Bank and the West Bank

The racist neera tanden is doing everything in her power to make sure el sayed loses.

Wajahat Ali@wajali.bsky.social

If El Sayed doesn't win, and it is likely due to the unprecedented money and Islamophobia from both the right and Dems, it'll permanently radicalize many voters against Dem establishment and Israel. I dont think they realize or care. It's scorched Earth.

I am hair-on-fire alarmed. Particularly as a Jew. We’ve been in that place…

Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social

I’m alarmed that more people aren’t alarmed by Trump targeting Somali Americans and labeling them “garbage” and “crooks” who “contribute nothing.” Most of them are U.S. citizens, yet Trump says, “I don’t want them in our country.” If you know history, you know the horror this can lead to.

In the past 48 hours, Israeli terrorist settlers: — Nearly kill Palestinian-American man on his own olive grove — Nearly kill Jewish American journalist; the "IDF" responds by shooting a Palestinian man & threatening his medics — Attack diplomats from France, Belgium and Poland

Democrats need to be ready to hold hearings and inquiries into the assault that Musk, Zuckerberg and other tech bros are making against democratic institutions at home and abroad.

farritor and kliger are the two who i want to see in orange jumpsuits being hauled off to prison

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social

If you recognize Kliger's name, it is probably in this context: he manually shut down life-saving aid from USAID. In between his DOGE work and starting his defense start-up he was appointed to the DOD as - brace yourselves - chief data officer. bsky.app/profile/donm...

For the love of God, stop saying this regime's ruthless authoritarianism "raises questions" and start telling us what answers you have for us. If you can't do that, get the fuck out of the way.

Amy Klobuchar@amyklobuchar.com

The timing of this raid and reports that a White House official was involved raise serious questions that should concern all Americans, regardless of political party.

Nope, the smarmy Gavin Newsom will definitely run for president

Max Kennerly@maxkennerly.bsky.social

I'm convinced Newsom isn't running for President at all. Sure, he might have a committee and use it as a slush fund, but he's running to be appointed to corporate boards and fake think tanks and stuff. Just too many examples of him going out of his way to show he's not aligned with the Dem base.

I feel this needs to be said again. Ukraine is not the bad guy Zelensky is not the bad guy Russia is the big bad guy Putin is the big bad guy Hope this is clear enough

Allan reposted

How tf did Zelensky end up as the bad guy in this when putin was the one who INVADED his country for no damn reason???

How long until they cave and put money in his pocket? Or at least hold a black tie dinner in his honor?

BREAKING NYT: The Trump Justice Department is investigating whether the major television networks — ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox — violated federal antitrust laws when the group briefly suspended their pooled coverage of Trump, according to six people with knowledge of the department's action.

Von der leyen the evil witch cannot even bring her self to acknowledge Pillay's most recent UN report on Israel's genocide

Congratulations to lawyer and human rights activist Navanethem “Navi” Pillay on her Nobel Peace Prize. Few have devoted their lives to justice, peace and human dignity like she did.

Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express—in a way that wouldn't leave a paper trail.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Not excusing anyone of course, but America should crack down harder on underage drinking and drug use- especially on college campuses. Instead of just “letting kids be kids”

Elizabeth Spiers@espiers.bsky.social

I was raped at a frat party. It’s a shockingly common experience and preventative interventions in college are way too late.

This is how the new CBS keeps people from remembering that the longest serving GOP Speaker of the House ultimately went to jail for covering up child rape. Which is apparently always in season.

I am very much in support of people going to jail for speech like this. Free speech be damned. Megyn Kelly is a ghoul and I hate myself for giving her any attention

Media Matters for America@mmfa.bsky.social

Megyn Kelly: "...this is probably a first for her. She's probably thrilled to be so admired because she clearly didn't grow up the incredibly beautiful one."

There is no Super Intelligence. There is no Department of War. There is no Lake America. There is no Gulf of America. There is no Fort Bragg. Any media outlet or platform that spreads these lies is an enemy of the people, determined to undermine democracy. Make note.
