This is 100% on brand for Yarvin. And every Republican and tech bro who has ever embraced him needs to answer for this.

A sharp rise in immigration arrests in broad daylight across the Portland metropolitan area is sparking fears among advocates that another federal operation could be underway. At least nine people were confirmed detained on Tuesday across Gresham, Troutdale and parts of eastern Portland.

In survey after survey, year after year, voters say Democrats are weak. Messaging alone won't fix that, but if you start with a clear message that contrasts with your opponents—and then you govern in alignment with that message—Democrats can in fact shake off the "weak" tag.

"There is a 24/7 camera that shows the reflecting pool. If someone went into the pool & made a 250 ft gash, it would have been seen. trump is lying again. Everyone knows it, but the people at @TheJusticeDept are randomly going after people to soothe trump’s fragile ego." —Ted Lieu 🌐 t2m.co/kETFKfnW

I am set up at the Foster Summer Soiree! We’re in front of Lift, Laugh, Love (6544 SE Foster, Portland, OR) until 6! I’ve got a selection of original woodcut prints plus an array of cards, affordable reproductions, and stickers.

Here was DHS’s statement at the time.

What could possibly go wrong? [Everything. Everything could go wrong.]

Maybe I should stop using 僕 and start using わし like an old man in a 70s television show.

Needing to win by 4 points nationally to get a bare majority in the House of Representatives due to partisan gerrymandering is (1) unfair, (2) a sign of America’s democratic backsliding, and importantly (3) doable.

Today in Chicago History: ‘May Day’ born after workers take to the streets to demand an 8-hour workday

I don't think this is necessary but the next time a left-of-center government is in power here they do need to loudly insist that companies like Meta eject the right-wing Trumpist political commissars from their organizations bsky.app/profile/gloo...

The right has strategically placed operatives at positions of influence in major social media and tech companies the same way they had a program for decades to place right wing lawyers in clerkships and judgeships and right wing reporters and editors at mainstream papers. The Plot to Enslave America

I am, and it is, and no, they don't

I've done a lot of martial arts training, and people in the FBI have done a lot of martial arts training. This is just a stunt

Has any previous conflict started with a majority of the country opposed? Plus, it's not even close. In contrast, after the Iraq War began, about 60-70% of Americans approved of it.

It’s the American way in the best sense

Wisconsin Democrats, and even most Republicans, have pushed for years to expand Medicaid coverage for new mothers, only to be blocked by powerful Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. Vos had argued that he opposed expanding welfare programs, but he relented late Wednesday.

NEW: One year ago, we caught a peek of MAGA authoritarianism when men roughly dragged a woman named Teresa out of an Idaho town hall. This is the story behind that viral video and the radicalization of the community where it happened. My investigation: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

And…here’s the latest from Colbert. The CBS lawyers are in crazy mode, and just underestimate him at every turn bsky.app/profile/tvmo...

A very detailed explanation of how FBI bamboozled a magistrate into authorizing a raid on Fulton County’s election offices by omitting critical information that would have totally undermined any probable cause claim. Pretty clear-cut case of calculated deception of the courts.

Yes, this is the guy who draws Foxtrot.

LOSING MY FUCKING MIND MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED

BREAKING: ICE has halted "all movement" at a Texas detention facility due to measles infections, DHS confirms.

Children. They are literally tear gassing children.

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

Thousands of union members staged a nonviolent march today. iCE gassed the crowd of nurses and teaches. The neighborhood is in a cloud. Flash bangs are being fired.

I hope she gets annihilated.

Shitty newspapers, shitty editors, shitty publishers, shitty values.

Today I was Kidnapped By ICE - Dawokefarmer

This is a political witch hunt, and it comes right out of the authoritarian playbook.

So weird how all these scoops with a pro-regime slant keep coming from CBS.

It used to be that victims of murders in the U.S. would be smeared by InfoWars and Gateway Pundit as a way to fetishize guns and violence for ad dollars and supplement sales, with the added benefit of cozying up to far-right politicians. Now that work is done by CBS News.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

I'm not privy to exactly what happened, but this is a massive loss to Bluesky. We need better moderation here.

Thomas Paine, as relevant as ever

The MPD union, at least, has made it clear which side they are on. This is the cost of DECADES of (everyone, everywhere) refusing to deal with the rising right-wing and white-nationalist involvement in policing.

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

How is Hegseth so fucking bad at working out? I have a theory: he is unable to accept any critique of his form or technique, so he keeps doing things wrong over and over while congratulating himself for doing “hard things.” Incredibly weak mentality.

I've got a dozen questions and they all start with "what the fuck"

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

ICE/CBP have shot three people in three separate incidents. Gregory Bovino was at two of those incidents. It would be insane to think it is a coincidence. Is Bovino ordering agents to fire on people?

Just saw a picture of stuffed animals in the woman's car and man...I really am struggling to find the words right now. This is all just so unspeakably devastating, and I don't know how we come back from it.
