“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy.... Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” — Dr. Gustave Gilbert, U.S. Military Chief Psychologist in the Nuremberg Trials, Nuremberg Diary

Replying to @aljazeera.com

There is no world in which a racist, authoritarian asshole who happens to be, sadly, the richest person on Earth, is allowed to personally fund a national campaign, in virtually unrestricted and unlimited fashion, like this stale bullshit right here, and that nation can survive. Simply suicidal.

The people who'll laugh or shrug off the 'nuke Los Angeles & San Diego comment' are the same people who wanted Mamdani to not be at the 9/11 commemoration.

“Jared Kushner is literally a war profiteer. That’s what we should refer to him as. Peace would be bad for business.” @timmiller.bsky.social & Tommy Vietor react to the CNN story about Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s obvious conflicts of interest with 🇮🇱 companies

What does a man, who has nothing to lose and doesn’t care about his own party, do….not good.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

The call was coming from inside the couch

Status@status.news

The anonymous source behind one of the stories the White House cited to justify banning POLITICO was none other than Vice President JD Vance, we have learned. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/white-hous...

Masked agents pointing a gun at an unarmed American citizen and threatening her for exercising her rights is unacceptable. We need commonsense reforms to strengthen ICE’s accountability and transparency now.

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

Trump didn’t want to admit that he personally hired an unqualified contractor who screwed up the Pool and cost taxpayers millions. So instead he had the hack Fox host who he installed as US attorney indict an innocent man so he could blame him and others for his own incompetence.

I remember when Bill Clinton met with the Attorney General for three minutes when Hillary was being investigated for mishandling classified information, and the republicans cried bloody murder. Now, the AG nominee is covering for pedophiles and that seems okay. WHAT THE FUCK?

This is why they’re going after Dr Fauci: he impeded grifters

Peter Navarro: "I had a million doses of hydroxychloroquine in warehouses as the defense policy coordinator that I was trying to distribute to hospitals. And Fauci got the FDA stop me from doing that."

The best way to get to the bottom of the McConnell question is for the governor to appoint a replacement. The GOP legislature passed a law stripping him of that power, but it goes against the state constitution. If they refuse to seat the replacement, take them to court. There’s zero downside.

Trump seemed to misspeak or confuse Iran and Japan this morning — recalling a "story" where, a few months ago, the U.S. shot down missiles from "the Islamic Republic of Japan."

Automatic license plate readers track our every move and funnel our personal information into enormous databases that police can access to spy on us without a warrant. Surveillance company Flock Safety is the largest provider of these cameras — it's time we get all of them out of our communities.

aclu.orgGet The Flock OutAutomatic license plate reader (ALPR) companies like Flock Safety are quietly trying to build a nationwide mass surveillance system. If there are Flock cameras in your city, they are tracking, logging, and sharing your movements without a warrant. But we're not powerless. More and more communities are rejecting these creepy cameras — and yours can be one of them!

the feds have done more to harass americans angry over good and pretti’s killings than they have to investigate them

Adam Steinbaugh@adamsteinbaugh.bsky.social

After federal agents shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a New Yorker sent ICE's director an email in January comparing him to a Nazi. This week, DHS agents stalked him across New York. His home. A hotel. They gave his wife a letter warning of criminal prosecution. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Here's our TV ad that poor wittle Donnie didn't wike and had to compwain to Fox "News" about. Sad! I feel so bad for him. 😥🤣

George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social

"The White House argued Conway is suffering from [TDS] 'Lightweight George Conway is a stupid person’s idea of a smart person,' the (White House) spokesperson said. 'His severe and debilitating disease known as Trump Derangement syndrome has melted his brain and made him crazy in the head.'"

The president’s allies responded to an election loss by storming the Capitol and trying to overturn election results. And yet it’s liberals who are everywhere called on to work to show they can be trusted to accept results, & to accept to change the rules of elections accordingly.

"The Court’s behavior in the Louisiana and Alabama cases over the past six weeks can’t be reconciled with or explained by any coherent understanding of what Purcell supposedly stands for. ... The overall pattern reveals justices behaving in a way that has no obvious explanation other than politics."

stevevladeck.com231. The Death of Purcell's "Principle"There is no coherent defense of the "Purcell principle" that can be rationalized with the Supreme Court's recent behavior in the AL and LA redistricting cases.

Santa Clara DA Jeff Rosen brought 1 of the harshest cases vs. Palestine campus protesters–until a judge kicked him off the case for framing it as "fighting antisemitism" to his "AIPAC [email] list" in order to fundraise. Today, Rosen is up for reelection for a 5th term: boltsmag.org/santa-clara-...
