nothing more properly honors Scott's memory than a crude cartoon drawn incompetently by a plagiarism robot

“For every blue-collar Dem we lose in western PA, we will pick up 2 moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philly, and you can repeat that in OH & IL & WI.” << Schumer, 2016. Anyone still listening to this man about election strategy is 2nd to the wall after all the ICE agents and Trump officials.

A reporter doing her best in impossible times, posts an essay on how hard this is both for her and her sources. The federal government then raided @hannahnatanson.bsky.social 's home. My heart goes out to her and her family. No one should feel the yoke of the govt because they talked to people.

You'd think the Post could publicly stick up for its reporter, who just had their house raided by the Trump admin, a little more than saying "[We are] reviewing and monitoring the situation" !

Zero percent chance this is true.

FUCK THIS FUCKING NOISE

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation). Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

I swear, JD wears more eyeliner everytime I see him.

"what are we going to do with 20,000 ICE agents if we abolish ice" well to start with I think we should all literally spit on them in public for the rest of their lives

This is not who we are. I became an ICE agent because I truly believed in the value of getting a $50,000 signing bonus to violently assault and terrorize anyone I wanted while never getting in trouble for anything. Being held accountable conflicts strongly with my deeply-held personal beliefs

The irony of this on the day ICE murdered a constitutional observer in Minneapolis is just... fuck man.

NYT gonna NYT: "Both Mr. Mamdani and Mr. Maduro identify as socialists, though they have no relationship.” — would be funny if they did this every time you write about two capitalists. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...

(Semafor) - The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops .. @semafor.com www.semafor.com/article/01/0...

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Hosting the hacked profiles at "Okstupid.lol" is, I have to say, pretty funny

When your local reporter needs the same protection as a war correspondent Check out this story by @zenagrossa.bsky.social in @poynterinstitute.bsky.social:

“If you are an immigration official or an agent and believe that ... your records could help you be held accountable, would you go out of the way to preserve those records that might expose wrongdoing?” @laurenleharper.bsky.social told @nytimes.com.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

YouTube deleted the accounts of 3 prominent Palestinian human rights groups; >700 videos documenting Israeli human rights abuses — a capitulation to Trump sanctions. Via @theintercept.com

progressives, waiting for the establishment democrats to learn a valuable lesson from all this...

behind every 💩 corporate media company there are real, quality journalists who are just trying to tell the truth & maintain job security in an industry that is ever-shrinking. so a company's bosses did 💩 stuff, doesn't mean everyone at the publication is a pos. support journos not corporations.

Freelance photojournalist @davedeckerphoto.bsky.social was on assignment for @frontlinepbs.bsky.social covering protests outside the ICE facility in Broadview, IL, on Oct. 11, when @ilstatepolice.bsky.social repeatedly struck him with a baton and tackled him to the ground.

The @pressfreedomtracker.us team has been documenting press freedom violations in Los Angeles. There are a lot we've seen already, so it will take a moment to verify and report on each incident. But keep an eye on this. pressfreedomtracker.us/all-incident...

ICE agents concealing their faces: Can they really do that?

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

Journalists have been assaulted, hit with projectiles, and forced out of public areas during the L.A. protests that began June 6. We're tracking at least 20 physical attacks — mostly by law enforcement. Watch our Managing Editor @kamccudden.bsky.social explain
