Just because they aren’t extermination camps doesn’t mean they aren’t concentration camps Nor does it mean that people aren’t dying in them Because they are

ICE just bought a massive warehouse in Social Circle, Georgia for $128.6 million. Call it what it is: an internment camp expansion happening in town across the country. 1/2

As I’ve always said: billionaires pay tons of money to make you think your vote doesn’t matter. It’s insidious. Be very wary of anyone who tells you elections don’t matter, or that both sides are the same.

Ellison: I’ve been hearing a lot about paying rappers/influencers, offering them pardons, and not disclosing that they’re being compensated. They don’t even need to say, “Vote for Trump.” What they can say is, “None of these elections really matter anyway.” That kind of talk can swing an election.

CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST PARABLE Give a starving man a fish and you feed him for a day. But give a starving man a Bible and you get to brag about how you saved him just before he died for the rest of your life. Glory!

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Magic Johnson was the grand marshal of the Rose Parade today, and as someone who remembers his November 1991 HIV announcement: if you had told anybody that day that he would be alive and healthy 34+ years later, I don't think they would have believed you. Medicine and research—they work.

Trump didn't demand Jimmy Kimmel's firing because he said mean things about Charlie Kirk. Trump demanded Jimmy Kimmel be fired because said mean things about Donald Trump.

Trump is reportedly creating a loyalty scorecard that rates how hard corporations work to support his agenda.  His regime is apparently planning to consult the ratings when considering corporate requests.  This is how things work in a dictatorship.

Maybe democratic leaders need to make it clear now: if you’re a nation that engaged in absolute corruption with the Trump family, you will absolutely pay a price when he is out of office. Our people deserve better

Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration rally. Did it twice, actually. Don’t waste time arguing with the people telling us that’s not what happened. They’re not mistaken, they are engaged in propaganda. Faced with authoritarianism in power, it is crucial we trust our own eyes.

The thing about Twitter versus Bluesky is that the right needs liberals on Twitter to make it feel worthwhile, whereas the left doesn’t need conservatives on Bluesky to make it feel worthwhile.

You are up to date.
