My second essay on how under Trump we’ve already gotten used to a level of fascism, authoritarianism, and corruption that would be unthinkable to us just years ago. Today: The corruption of the Justice Dept and *EIGHT* scandals on par with Watergate: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-s-ty...

Good lad Lula. Fuck the Bolsonaro failson.

The story of one cop and his work with immigration and what it did to a town.

We knew that in September 2025, ICE announced new incentives for the 287(g) police partnership program, including a $100K vehicle stipend, quarterly performance bonuses + overtime pay for officers. Ingram opted in. That meant its cops would serve as deputy immigration agents.

Putting the Bolsonaro family back in power has been a priority for Trump since returning to office. Here’s a thread on Darren Beattie, one of Trump’s racist fascist operatives tasked with helping Bolsonaro. One of the most loathsome creatures in this administration.🧵

A big fist bump between Signature Aviation's fueler and the Eastern Air Express captain flying yesterday's ICE Air flight at MSP. They took away 24 shackled migrants from their homes around the Twin Cities. If a loved one may have been aboard, full video is here: youtube.com/watch?v=1-xmZiNEhC4

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

This is a chilling hate rally. And, just in case you think this doesn't matter to you, the President of the United States is also mocking the idea of Constitutional liberties.

Anne Applebaum offers a penetrating examination of Venezuela today: in essence the worst criminal elements of the Maduro regime remain in power, with a superstructure of Trump-affiliated kleptocrats on top. It's an updating of late 19th century imperialism with a thick overlay of US organized crime.

A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

This pattern of exaggerated slights and inability to acknowledge how the environment helped him is a pattern for Andreessen. He shits on his Wisconsin upbringing, but seems to have been well-treated and showered with resources. Says the NSF should be eliminated, even tho if was key to his education.

its the "hard times create hard men, hard men create soft times, soft times create soft men, soft men create hard times" thing for Boomers being the only generation in American history that got to experience a cradle-to-grave welfare state bsky.app/profile/jack...

There once was a Press Sec named Katie Who Trump liked (a blonde MAGA lady) But not competent So she came and she went In less than a half-Scaramucci.

Must watch Mark Jacob tell the truth about what the New York Times is doing wrong! Patrick Healy proves what sort of quisling bullshit the NYT pushes as their excuse.

Look at the cumulative hit. Since January 2021, consumer prices have risen about 29%. Avg private-sector weekly earnings are up about 24%. In real terms, weekly earnings are still roughly 3% lower than pre-pandemic.

The attacks began in Kersall before spreading to the area in and between Walkden and Little Hulton. The perpetrators claimed they were targeting properties housing people seeking asylum. But several of the homes attacked weren't HMOs at all. Some were family homes with children.

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

The tragedy of Biden's presidency is not its lack of success, but how little its success was recognized. The claim Democrats don't have a policy program is false. Finishing the projects Biden began, working with Bernie Sanders and others, should be central to the project of the next president.

We've lost track of how very un-ordinary ICE's current reign of terror is. We’ve already gotten used to a level of fascism, authoritarianism, and corruption that would be unthinkable and shocking to us just a short time ago. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-s-ty...

The history of 287(g) has gotten lost because feds and states have allowed the program to expand, unchecked. Historically, the only agencies that could use 287(g) were sheriff's offices (maybe the occasional state agency). Sheriffs can generally enter into contracts without county approval.

every mushroom foraging guidebook: This is Woodland Pot Roast, a tasty little mushroom that adds a delightful flavour to soups and stews. Note that it is often mistaken for Satan’s Fistula, a mushroom that erases the last 9 generations of your family from God’s ledgers.

this manufactured consensus, life has imitated art, ushering in support for far-right nazism in Germany and France, acquiesce and complicity in America's Republican party and far-left pro-Iran sentiment within the Democratic party. Meanwhile, all along, Ukraine was holding the solution.

It comes after years of cover-ups & denials not least from Boris Johnson who was in charge of MI6 as foreign minister at the time & whose first act as PM was to ennoble the Baron of Siberia. But it also went beyond Johnson & Starmer continued it too. We now finally need some sunlight. 2/
