The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

Liberals say the Supreme Court is hastening the end of our democracy. They’re wrong— the Supreme Court is hastening the end of our republic.

amazing article

incredible tracker. and imagine what did this cost a) immigrants & their families and lawyers b) taxpayers c) and cost in terms of the courts’ & judges’ time?

This New York Times article, which ran a week before Christmas last year, didn’t get the attention it deserved. It detailed Trump and Epstein's predatory behavior toward women – “a game of ego and dominance” in which “female bodies were currency.” Here’s a gift link and a thread. 1/6🧵

The Trump regime admits in court papers that it canceled energy grants to blue states simply because they're blue states. This is a fascist hijacking of our government, a disgusting betrayal of the nation's taxpayers. Get angry. Get active. Defeat the dictator.

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

Trump promised an unconditional surrender in Iran. Today, he delivered on that promise.

Epstein is still paying the legal fees of witnesses in this case—including his assistant Lesley Groff, who we interviewed in @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social this week. We know paying legal fees was one of the ways he exercised control and evaded justice…and it continues today even in death.

I've been a broken record on this for three years and I'll be a broken record for as long as that fucking website exists: X is a viciously racist far-right organising platform that ONLY WORKS because a huge number of centrists, lefties and progressivs cannot stop propping it up

Congratulations to everyone who said it would get this bad. Your prize is watching everyone who disagreed now claim no one could have predicted it would get this bad.

Merck has agreed to pay $50 million to settle a mass-injury lawsuit by 200 people who claimed that HPV vaccines harmed them. RFK Jr. was involved in this litigation though he says that he divested himself. The decision by Merck is both upsetting and understandable given RFK Jr’s corruption.

It’s telling how many of the large news organizations who are flush with money aren’t sending journalists to cover ICE (and now state trooper) violence overnight outside Delaney Hall and the independent outlets with far less financial and insurance coverage are braving it.

RIGHT NOW: NJ state troopers with riot gear are forcing protesters supporting the hunger strikers of Delaney Hall and media ppl down the street. They’re firing flashbang grenades at the ground to force people to disperse, per the @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream www.youtube.com/live/yTlpCYk...

a VRA map that recognizes discrete and compact communities and creates districts accordingly? illegal race discrimination. packing every black person they can find i to a single district crossing the whole state? colorblindness and equal protection thank you sam alito

Cea Weaver reports that ICE agents have come knocking on the doors of NYC tenants impersonating city workers.

second verse on this is one of the funniest things i've ever heard

It's journalistic malpractice when cable news networks broadcast White House press briefings and don't make it clear that some of the "journalists" asking the questions are fascist ringers. Such as the person who just asked about "Antifa."

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority used outdated examples to say the racial gap in voter turnout has closed, but in reality, the gap is growing — due in part to the Court’s past assaults on the Voting Rights Act. bit.ly/3QIYd5B

Can someone send me the IRS memo? Email and Signal in bio. Thanks.

Rep. Thomas Massie has conceded. Republican voters have rejected the member of their own party most responsible for forcing the vote to release the Epstein files. All because Trump, a man named in the Epstein files thousands of times, didn't want them released. That says a lot. None of it good.

Some very good news out of a Texas federal court: Alex Jones doesn't have standing to appeal a Bankruptcy court order that placed InfoWars' assets in state receivership, meaning they can be licensed or sold to us. More to come, obviously, but we're almost there.

This would constitute one of the most brazen, most appalling acts of corruption in U.S. history. I know we’re numb to all of this but this is a seven-alarm fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

BREAKING: In a loss for Democrats, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled the congressional map voters approved last month to counter GOP gerrymanders cannot go into effect. The decision overturns the will of voters for technical reasons and gives Republicans a leg up for the 2026 midterms.

My primary thought, as southern Republicans drop all pretense and scramble to grab more power, is that if the rot runs deeper than we thought, so must the needed reforms.

I really wonder what the fallout is going to be because the sanitized version of history they’ve sold for a long time is “Jim Crow was a shameful moment in history but we defeated it and came out the other side a better country” and now it’s just… back it’s the end of a myth in the starkest terms

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

Someone out there decided it would be a good idea to put a German Shepherd in charge of babysitting a bunch of Doberman puppies and they were 100% correct

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch was on Fox & Friends this morning

That's some good writing, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social. www.ms.now/news/the-lig...

Please be on the lookout for an Emergency Transmission from @timheidecker.bsky.social this evening on theonion.info. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

David Huerta, president of SEIU, was detained by ICE for several days last year. Today he’s at a May Day protest in Downtown LA fighting for workers! THAT’S courage! #mayday

Tina releases “What’s Love Got to Do With It” 42 years ago today — a song she hated, but she deferred to her manager, Roger Davies, who was sure it would be a hit. When it won Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Female Vocal, she gave one of the awards to him. 🔥

The Montreal Cognitive Assessment has added a new question to test for early signs of mental impairment.

Trump is directing the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to prioritize cases of discrimination against white men, but commission staff are "struggling to find complaints with merit"

this is very funny as well as good evidence — you know, beyond what we can see with our own eyes — that there is not some epidemic of anti-white discrimination

The Trump administration has announced two more payouts for energy companies to walk away from U.S. offshore wind projects under development.

One can only hope the ballroom being built has an exhaust port…

Trump saved 8 AI generated Iranian women, but killed 170 real schoolgirls.

I will never forget the experience of seeing LEAVING NEVERLAND at its Sundance premiere. For @avclub.com I wrote about a devastating, definitive documentary about surviving sexual abuse that cannot be erased.

First & foremost, @lindseyboylan.bsky.social is more than deserving of this endorsement. Second & just as important, fuck this headline. Lindsey didn’t accuse Cuomo of harassment. Cuomo harassed Lindsey. Period. She is not an accusor. She is a survivor-advocate. Show some respect. Report the truth.

NEW: We obtained the government’s settlement agreement with Michael Flynn. As previously reported, DOJ agreed to pay $1.25 million to settle Flynn’s claims that he was wrongfully prosecuted. But docs suggest a separate settlement could be in the works: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/u.s....

When a pro-democracy, pro-republic coalition takes control again in Washington, Judgment Fund reform needs to be on the agenda. Now that Trump has shown how the Fund can be used as a massive tool of corruption, there's no going back to relying on norms of restraint.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about. Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.
