People aren't a tenth as furious as they should be yet, but its coming.

THREAD: Some folks have asked why Donald doesn’t just pick up the phone and bring Abrego Garcia back. Besides the cruelty, what’s the point of defying the lower court’s order? Basically, he wants to see if he can get away with it. 1/

these two pairs of glasses got married and they’re planning to outbreed the woke. their pr firm pays someone at a major newspaper to profile them every four months so you are never allowed to forget about their existence

(man douses himself with lighter fluid) (man shoots off a Roman candle to “fuck up the neighbors” but sets himself on fire) (man tries to pay out flames, spreads fire to his own garage) (man accidentally falls into swimming pool)

www.ynetnews.com/culture/arti... "Maccabi Tel Aviv fans begin receiving compensation after Amsterdam attacks" Anyone who knows how Israel manipulated and fabricated this story knows how outrageous it is that these racist rioters should receive *compensation*

So much can be put down to the terror of being 'beaten by a girl' at any game or sport ever.

!! CALL TO ACTION !! #Booksky please join me in the fight to save our libraries. EveryLibrary is working hard to save the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which is the federal agency charged with distributing Congressionally approved funds to state libraries and grant recipients.

the paper im referencing here is this one by @aurelmondon.bsky.social and @aaronwinter.bsky.social, it’s very good and i recommend it! repository.uel.ac.uk/download/d3c...

Don't let up on Signalgate. The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice. The entire discussion is fait accompli. Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates. Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.

Wait. There’s an IG that hasn’t been fired yet?

👇🏽 🎯 the point is to force the world to beg him for carve outs (and pay him off) Mafia-style Government

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

So weird how this keeps happening. www.axios.com/2025/04/02/t...

Don't worry, the pain IS temporary. Eventually we'll die.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

The GOP COVID Committee report is wild. The virus is a Chinese bioweapon designed by Fauci ... and it was so mild that the US should have taken zero precautions ... and Democratic governors didn't take enough precautions ... and we should have let everyone get it. oversight.house.gov/release/fina...

Some voters got mad about people listing their pronouns, so now we're sending law-abiding, legal immigrants to torture prisons and being hit with the largest middle class tax hike in at least 40 years.

I’m suing DOGE! www.muellershewrote.com/p/im-suing-d...

Its creepy- the real question is whether its creepy for the smeller or for the smellee.

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

Thank you, Wisconsin.

Eid Mubarak, also free Palestine.

Every conservative accusation is a confession.

A common tic among right-wingers and conspiracy theorists is to describe someone engaging in debate as "silencing debate" www.bmj.com/content/374/...

Hiring your brother is the original affirmative action for white people.

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

I wrote about the White House X account — which is steeped in the sociopathic posting style of far-right extremists — and seems to get more sinister and cruel with its posts each week of the administration. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

This is like hiring Andrew Tate for an important national study into whether women talk too much

The reason Elon keeps doing these blatantly corrupt money giveaways to incentivize voting is because, again, no one is stopping him or holding him accountable. A democracy that refuses to do anything but assume everyone acts in good faith isn’t a democracy at all

RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.

There are few genuinely evil people in that administration, but Rubio is one of them. There is no boot he won’t lick, no humiliation he won’t endure, no ethical line he won’t cross if it means he gets an iota more power.

“We talk about...character and honor and integrity in the military, and then we just we just see the guy that is in charge of us completely lying.” Amy McGrath, retired U.S. Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel, responds to Hegseth who said “no one was texting war plans” www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnTc...

Going back to child labor...

multiple issues here: -it’s unamerican and unconstitutional for the federal govt—and certainly the executive on its own, arbitrarily and in secret—to create a speech code for visa holders -even if that was permissible, suddenly accosting her in the street and abducting her is wildly disproportionate

We are heartbroken and outraged to learn that Alfredo "Lelo" Juarez was violently detained by ICE while dropping his partner off at work. He is reportedly being held at a private detention facility in Tacoma, Washington. 🧵

Teen Warned Not To Accept Group Chat Invites From National Security Advisors She Doesn’t Know

You'd think the Russians would train their agents better, to at least not use Signal.
