There can be no clearer distillation of Republican policy than deporting a decorated educator while welcoming a criminal failson.

"Lula called Bolsonaro’s flight “shameful”. “This is what the Bolsonaro family are like. Brazil is their second homeland. Their first homeland is licking the boots of the US, as they’ve become accustomed to doing,” he said at an event celebrating his 81st birthday in Brasília"

The administration makes releases like this understanding the mainstream media will absolutely never put it in context. It’s like saying Government Issues Alert On Possible Ghost Attacks. The first time I realized this exploit was when Bush did his terror alert bullshit.

a spectacle of fascism as Trump demands Ilhan Omar resign and says Democrats have conceded her seat, and the 20-something dude bros behind him leap up and start cheering

Joe Mitchell: "Thank God you're building the ballroom. Thank God you're getting rid of those awful bike lanes. We don't ride bicycles in Iowa."

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

After our last post, we’ve heard from people reporting voting machine issues in South Carolina, Texas, and Tennessee. We haven’t independently verified these accounts. We also read Stella Parton’s account of having to correct her selection before casting her ballot in Tennessee.

"With a seeming flick of a switch, Musk has the power to alter the course of a deadly conflict. " Nobody should have that kind of power www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

I can think of a few things I need to report. 1. Trump’s reflecting pool scam 2. Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel’s use of government assets for personal matters 3. Kristi Noem’s DHS contracts to friends

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

When you see this story next week on CNN or read it in the WSJ and theyt forget to include Marisa's name, be sure to send them this link.

The Mississippi AG says police are justified for killing a baby because someone thought his mother shoplifted diapers that she paid for. The police have refused to release body cam footage. Fuck everything about this story.

LOL -- Natalie is posting on Trump's Truth Social account while he's still on stage in Kansas

Ricardo Gonzalez, a 40-year-old U.S. citizen, was riding his e-bike in Long Beach, California, when ICE agents struck him with an unmarked vehicle and tased him twice. ICE thought he was someone else.

MAGAs want you to be afraid of the non-existent threat of "Islamic Shariah replacing the Constitution" so you remain distracted from their full court press of Christian Shariah, i.e. Project 2025 actually replacing the Constitution.

Tommy is not actually a registered voter in Michigan. Tricia McLaughlin is the former DHS spokesperson who kept telling the public that everytime ICE shot someone, it was because they were weaponizing their car against the masked security agent

a norwegian on Threads posted this and i just don’t know how much more clearly we can emphasize how much Americans are being ripped off by our system which is built to concentrate wealth at the top

Do you disavow the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants? Do you disavow the Brother from Another Planet?

Stacey Abrams talks about voter suppression throughout the country. #Pinks 🌊

“That’s so racist even CBS won’t let you say it” actually sums up how far CBS has fallen.

Barack Obama just delivered a blistering rebuke of Trump's actions against Ilhan Omar. This is worth reading in full.

💥 ICE terrorists run over U.S. citizen riding his bike—break his arm. Agents handcuff him behind his back without calling paramedics. They inflict even more injuries—send him to the hospital in serious condition. Then agents detain another U.S. citizen—for yelling at them on the sidewalk.🔻

A rule announced Friday reverses the Biden administration’s 2024 ban, allowing sport hunters to lure black and brown bears with food. This teaches bears to associate people with food, putting hikers, campers and the bears themselves at risk.

This is a really striking tweet.

It was not heated at all, CNN. It was eminently calm and measured. A precise, beautiful thing. Get your adjectives right.

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

Thank you to everyone who has already voted and to everyone participating in today’s No Kings Vote Early events!

Trump wants us to pretend he’s on the ballot, but in fact Putin is. If you vote for the people with R after their name, you’re voting for the Russians.

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

Status Coup’s @jordanchariton.bsky.social speaks with Erica Barbanel, who has spent months requesting a meeting with NJ Governor Mikie Sherrill. Barbanel was dragged by ICE officers while protesting at the Delaney Hall Detention Center and continues to demand direct dialogue with state leadership.

THE REFLECTING POOL REPORT‼️ The $14.7 MILLION renovation: 📌 85 liner failures 📌 8 of 10 expansion joints buckled 📌 40 locations blistered or peeled 📌 Refilled after ONE DAY, not the recommended 72 hours Prosecutors later acknowledged contractor errors. Charges dropped.

Parents, if you have dropped off a kid named Jimmy in the morning and picked up a kid named Janet at the end of the school day, please return to the school: You've driven off with some other family's child.

🚨 72 retired senior military officers speak out "We ask the President, our Congressional representatives, and our fellow citizens to act to prevent this barbaric abuse of authority: Livestreaming an execution debases the... commitment to basic human dignity..." www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...

My God, imagine getting laughed off the stage at a League of Women Voters event.

Trump: "Putin has no respect for this person." Clinton: "That's because he'd rather have a puppet as president of the United States. You're willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do." October 19, 2016. She was right.

My focus group of swing voters rated Republicans as more likely to be white nationalists, cut deals with dictators, and kill civilians in the street. But they rated them above Democrats, whom they said had a problem with extremism.

People are under the rubble here. This is an ordinary apartment building in Kharkiv. Russia collapsed it onto People within tonight.

I agree with every word of this from @jamellebouie.net. Trump Is Begging to Be Impeached

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

🧵🧵🧵 I was going to write a simple sentence about the madness of the moment, but I got distracted by the U.S. president’s complaint that he was screwed out of the Nobel Peace Prize after bombing multiple countries, and then he bolstered his case with a plan to execute a guy in a wheelchair and ...

BRENNAN: Nidal Hasan is in a wheelchair. Doesn't the administration risk livestreaming this and making him a martyr? Couldn't this be a risk to the homeland? MARKWAYNE MULLIN: No one has to watch it B: Well then why are you livestreaming it? MULLIN: The president is restoring American values
