Netanyahu is being manipulative to appeal to the batshit apocalypticism of evangelicals in order to usher in and justify an era of expansionism for Israel. I really don't think we talk enough about the increasingly dangerous influence of christians that *want* to bring about the end of the world.

Even if their vision of the apocalypse or its prerequisites are built on nonsense and genuine misinterpretation of their own religious texts, the real material conditions of their influence is beyond alarming.

I wonder if this makes Trump sad.

Should we start calling her "Pedophile Pam?"

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

What are we to do? Can someone be deputized to carry out the job so justice can truly begin for the victims? Who is going to put manacles on the maniac? WHO? #epsteinphiles

JD Vance takes the mic and immediately attempts to tell a joke. He doesn't get a single laugh. Not. Even. One.

ICE is still here in Minnesota. The only difference in the “drawdown” I am seeing is a shift from the Bovino actions that were done for confrontation and conflict for the cameras to more snatch and grabs that are no less awful, if more dispersed. Until they are all home. Until we are all safe.

I had the chance to meet Ludovic at an SF6 local in my area and he was one of the nicest folks I had the pleasure of going 0-2 against. Bro does not deserve this. Fuck ICE.

They "know damn well that every word of my script last night was approved by CBS’ lawyers, who for the record approve every script that goes on the air.”

Big Tech’s claims that AI can help fix the climate crisis are “greenwashing.” They distract, a new report says, from the energy-gobbling chatbots and video generation that make up the core business.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

The extent of Epstein’s involvement and interest in other men’s alleged sexual abuse cases—and the advice and lavish sympathy he was given about his own legal issues by his many famous friends—is further revealed.

Mamdani: "$5.4 billion is a very steep mountain to climb ... We want to work with Albany to raise personal income taxes by 2% on the 33,000 New Yorkers earning more than $1 million per year and to raise corporate taxes on the most profitable corporations."

I’ve lived in DC for three years and I still don’t understand why Union station constantly smells like burnt tortillas

explains a lot tbh

The open racism you guys have emboldened, megyn

Shameful shit!!!! Shame each and everyone of them!!!! #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

And I think I know why #Trump doesn't want the rest of the #EpsteinFiles released: Not only does he appear in there over a million times, but the files also contain proof of the "golden showers" thing from the 2016 Steele dossier! #TrumpIsANationalDisgrace #WakeUpAmerica mashable.com/article/dona...

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.   This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.   Not one dime for this cruelty. www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/...

Howard Lutnick misled the American people about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein because he didn't want to admit he continued interacting with Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor.   It's a disgrace. Lutnick needs to resign as Secretary of Commerce.

"Let's celebrate the people who are raping your children!" -- Lisa McClain began today's House Republican news conference with an epic crashout

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

Republican lawmakers prefer to remain soulless lackeys collecting money and power by supporting Trump. But they've got to see disaster ahead as he becomes ever more mentally unhinged. He's now predicting that if Canada cuts a trade deal with China, the Chinese will BAN HOCKEY IN CANADA.

OK I've been on team "he's always ranted incoherently" (after all I posted the crazy Bananas dictator speech regularly during his first term) but this one seems a fair amount more so.

In 2024, Trump stated that only himself and Dan Scavino have access to his Truth Social account. This contradicts Karoline Leavitt’s implication that some random, unnamed low-level staffer was to blame for posting the now-deleted racist Obama ape video.

And not just in the 1970s, there were also #racist voter-intimidation efforts in the early 2010s. Remember James O'Keefe's ACORN videos? Or Tea Party efforts to intimidate black voters? They were fueled by animosity to Obama (as was Dr. Laura's N-bomb rant in 2010). #racism #stopthesame #history

FWIW this is more or less how white conservatives destroyed multiracial democracy after emancipation. That & paramilitary violence, but of course they would never... oh yeah they're doing that too.

Been reading over gut-wrenching Reconstruction-era election testimony recently & may write something on the paramilitary & institutional tactics white conservatives are again employing in a desperate bid to permanently seize power. Key takeaway: vote, but also agitate & disrupt captured systems.

In SC, Black voters mobilized, but they also formed self defense orgs, mutual aid networks, & orchestrated work stoppages, among other tactics. Attempting to create a voting record is very important, but it is the other tactics that make repression difficult & dangerous.

That's very true, & if we're thinking locally, they've never fully abandoned this set of tactics, but I don't know that we've had them at the center of a national political movement since the dark days of the lynching era (~1890s-1940s). Absolutely devastating when we think through the implications.

That Trump federal agent who kicked the dog in Memphis? I've a feeling he may become a mass murderer. Lots of killers, such as Ted Bundy and David Berkowitz, started out torturing animals long before they started killing people. I think it's called the "graduation effect". #ICEout #AnimalAbuse
