“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

We’re witnessing the American heroes of this era, in ICE Observers in Minnesota

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

ICE said he killed himself and that was just a blatant lie. We have no idea how many people are being murdered in these concentration camps.

We need studies now for the news media to correctly report that companies will pass increases in costs to customers, rather than just eating them and reducing profits.

America has tried to be a real multiracial democracy for just over 60 years and that attempt has been contested at every step along the way. The dinner has been held every year, without fail, since 1969. www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-t...

looks like donald trump used the military to do a smash and grab for his personal benefit

This is Bari Weiss. She kills finished 60 minutes segment on documented abuse in Trump's El Salvadoran prison, but runs a story that clearly says CBS is completely unable to confirm. Why? One serves the Trump Regime, and one does not. CBS is worthless trash. So is Bari Weiss.

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.

Elite impunity all the way down. If sexualed children are the price of oligarchy, so be it.

An occupation. The Siege of Minneapolis.

Prosecutors around the country who continue to resign to protest the illegal, unethical & immoral actions of DOJ are heroes. For many, these are dream jobs. Highly coveted career positions. They are walking away from them to do the right thing when many would remain silent. bsky.app/profile/atru...

ICE is now behaving in such a way that even Tucker Carlson’s favorite Holocaust minimizing, Hitler-apologist “historian” is like “hey now guys, this is getting a little out of hand.”

if you put this in a script even erin brockovitch would be like “too on the nose, dial it back”

Kudos to Minnesotans

Not to mention the news headlines will help them too by using vague phrasing indicating they can’t tell either while burying the truth in the last para

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

Something I always wondered is how it would be covered if America became a dictatorship This is it

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican. He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

This is a what comes of voting fools, thieves and incompetents into office.

Remember when a guy lost an election and then spent months making wild, baseless claims that it was stolen, leveraging the personality cult he’d built to try to get people to reject the results? And then thousands of his supporters rioted, injuring hundreds of cops? Whatever happened to that guy?

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

uh holy SHIT?

I would say no one can be stupider than this dude, but then I remember the millions who listen to him every week

Having an avatar with your face and body created that says degrading things and engages in degrading or sexual actions should not be the price of participation in public life for women and girls.

If anything the crime has been underplayed. They knew these men were mostly innocent. They knew they’d be tortured. They sent them to CECOT not out of recklessness but because they thought it would enjoyable for their supporters to see innocent Latinos tortured. An intentional crime of violence.

I have a lot of issues with Bernie and how he ran his campaign. But he’s best at stuff like this - just saying things the people are feeling. Not going along to get along. We need our elected people to speak up for us, loudly and incisively.

271,000 people have lost their jobs and federal spending has ctually increased. So people get less services, while we added debt paying for private jets for Kristi Noem, bulletproof cars for Kash Patel. This is what the rust belt voters demanded.

In February, DOGE - under Elon Musk’s direction - gutted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, notably including their autonomous vehicle safety unit, which was investigating Tesla.

The government official who sent migrants to gulags is now urging the the firing of the journalists who reported the story and objected to it being killed. bsky.app/profile/thet...

Tonight Jane Fonda and the Committee for the First Amendment issued this statement asking: "Is Paramount, once again, kowtowing to appease the president, as its owner seeks administration approval to further expand his media empire with a hostile takeover of Warner Brothers Discovery?"

Bari Weiss still having the temerity to call herself a "centrist" after openly acting as Trumpworld's highly-placed apparatchik & propagandist is exactly why they gave her the roles of highly-placed apparatchik & propagandist.

It used to be that the United States would use Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to transmit truth across the borders of repressive regimes. Now the work of American reporters, having been censored, is being smuggled across the border to reach Americans.

I firmly believe we're going to survive this era -- broken, hobbled, with decades of rebuilding that will not be finished in my lifetime -- but we are going to survive and every asshole who collaborated in the effort to destroy this country will forever wear the stain of it.

I would love love to hear from the “centrist” Bari Weiss supporters. Incredible incredible amount of self delusion in these groups about who these people are

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public

Adding this to my thick file of "stuff that if Joe Biden did it Trump voters would have stormed Washington DC bearing pitchforks, but since Trump is doing it they could care less."

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

The biggest story of the Epstein case is the role of the FBI. Wtf. www.nydailynews.com/2025/12/20/e...

Biden really did embrace a quite progressive domestic agenda, there was massive backlash from the wealthy and not a lot of enthusiasm from anyone else. it's kind of bleak.

Biden kind of took this to heart, which is why he put real teeth into antitrust and labor enforcement, and pushed for major pandemic relief. that's why billionaires went full fash. and unfortunately, voters didn't rally to him. so...here we are.

The networks were afraid not to run Trump because they assumed he would use his office to punish them if they didn’t. The irony is that this is what Biden was warning about, a warning they chose not to share with America.

This is an important moment, and we need to explain to the public why it's important. An agency with the power to decide who gets to broadcast is supposed to be independent from the president so it won't abuse that power. If it's not, then we are letting the president seize the power to censor.

Then he had it changed after this exchange People are not realizing how far off the cliff the country is right now

The world's leader in science is dismantling itself. For nothing.

Well, the pursuit of knowledge had a nice little run there
