it's still just so incredible how much worse this outcome is than if trump would have just won in 2020. it boggles the fucking mind. i will never get over that

Democrats too often create a villain-less politics, and it’s a reason why many people don’t trust them.

There's a lot to be said about identity, solidarity. But a simple place to start: the people who are willing to fight for their neighbors when their neighbors have different problems have a very, very good chance of having neighbors to fight with when you all share problems

Andry, a gay Venezuelan asylum seeker, was sent by ICE to an El Salvadoran prison for terrorists 102 days ago. Yesterday, the Supreme Court upheld their right to do so. Public pressure on our elected representatives to halt these horrific policies is critical. abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

The Ethicist | Our son's lacrosse team has a hazing ritual where they report one another's housekeepers to ICE. One teammate's housekeeper got deported to South Sudan as a result. His parents want restitution since they can no longer get cleaning services for $6/hour. Should we pay them?

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

Something about reading a piece on all the ways DOGE has screwed up so far and then seeing the Supreme Court give them the resources to REALLY screw up kind of takes the shine off the Musk in the doghouse stories.

The most entertaining Alien Vs Predator yet

It’s really bad that both main political sides are in a spiral of “we are going to punish our enemies without regard for norms bc they started the escalatory spiral” but indeed we must punish our enemies without regards for norms bc they started the escalatory spiral

This is America.

50 days too many. From the laudable & heroic organization that is fighting for and representing him. bsky.app/profile/immd...

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 50 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

This is the only content i wanna see

The most daming claim in this statement IMO: Within 15 minutes of DOGE accounts being created… Attackers in Russia tried logging in using those new creds. Correct usernames and passwords. 2 options here. The DOGE device was hacked. And I don't think I need to explain the 2nd.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

The Trump administration is comfortable disappearing people to foreign gulags partially because the Trumpis Justices on the Roberts Court have enabled him at every turn, rewriting the Constitution when necessary to accommodate Trump's lawlessness www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

HEY REMEMBER THIS?? bad-faith-times.ghost.io/we-need-to-s...

Public service announcement: which firms have stood up to Trump (the vast majority, but not the biggest ones) and which ones have signed up to offer him free legal services. Just in case you want to decide where to work or who to hire docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Trump was always just running to stay out of jail, it was just that he did that dumb sneaker stuff and went on podcasts and said he was going to make everything cheaper. Not even 100 days in, the only thing that’s cheaper is stocks.

Benghazi is literally a cost of empire. That was it. And we can't work ourselves into an unhinged "They're destroying America" stance over them literally trying to do that. Zeroing out cancer funding. Putting known cyber hackers in charge of our SSA database?!?!?

Same as the Portland protests. Random dudes throwing people in vans.

It's been almost a month since Gerry Connolly did a national media hit. He's the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee!

I'm just genuinely shocked that so many people in positions of power -- people who could take a stand, make a difference, and be remembered for it -- have no interest in being on the right side of history.

As a Senator, I serve a cause higher than what my constituents might "want," or the interests of the labor unions that support my party, or even the continued function of the republic itself. And that cause is uh... hmm this is embarrassing. Wow. I definitely had it written down. On a post-it. Haha.

Democrats went into today looking at polling that revealed that in the event of a shutdown, 32 percent of Americans would blame Democrats, 31 percent would blame Republicans, and 22 percent would blame Trump. In other words, they were dealt a winning hand, and folded.

Chuck Schumer right now

No. Christians feel persecuted because there is a vast media apparatus telling them that they are persecuted. There is no evidence whatsoever of large-scale discrimination against Christians in this country.

Great read to get you up to speed on chumps crypto-dreams.

Every GOP campaign ad: I’m a big strong man with a gun and I can protect you Actual GOP senators: Can I get Melon Husks phone number so I can call and maybe ask him to give my state back some money that he took. Please.

😳

Thing that will never not amuse me is how the entire right tries to say that libs are still mad about Jan 6, a thing where people died because of Trump, and they should get over it because it wasn’t that big a deal but all of the people who say that are still incredibly mad about a laptop
