I wouldn't call sexual assault petty or pedestrian.

And here's the bridge...

OK, I stand corrected. Of all the responses so far, this is the first one I've seen which actually provides evidence of someone specifically endorsing Newsom *in the primary* as opposed to simply saying that people should vote for him *in the general IF he's the nominee* which is very different.

New playbook for Congressional hearings: take a page from @crockett.house.gov. Don’t ask trump administration officials any questions. Just make points for 5 minutes. Republicans will use up all their time letting them answer. Then just yell clapbacks from time to time.

The roots of ICE List trace back to June, when Kristi Noem, the US homeland security secretary, warned that Americans who identified agents publicly would face arrest. “Well, we’re not in the US, so send them to us,” said Dominick Skinner, the Netherlands-based Irish national behind the site.

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does. Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision. We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore. This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

There has been an increasing sense in Minneapolis that we are on our own, that our elected representatives are unwilling and/or unable to take action to get these murderous Nazi thugs out of our community. I really hope that changes today. The time for pleading TV hits ended weeks ago.

Governor, please explain WHY you can’t order the MN National Guard and/or the MN State Police to arrest the ICE agents who are doing this. I’m sure there are reasons (Trump could invoke the insurrection act and/or federalize the guard, etc) but most people don’t. EXPLAIN this.

(sigh) One more time: ActBlue is a PAYMENT PROCESSOR. That's it. They don't sell your data, and the 4% they take is a flat rate to cover cc processing fees. Declaring "I DON'T DO ACTBLUE!" when making a campaign contribution is like saying "I DON'T DO VISA!" when checking out at a retail store.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

This should alarm everyone. The FBI searched a journalist’s home and seized her work devices, despite no criminal charges. This is a direct threat to press freedom.

NEW: GoFundMe strictly bans fundraisers for “the legal defense of financial and violent crimes,” yet is currently running one “to help pay for any legal services” for the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good. Its conflict is not even the least bit contestable.

CBP agents shot and wounded a married couple this afternoon in a medical clinic parking lot in Portland, the Oregonian reports: "One was shot in the leg and the other in the chest, Portland police sources said." Police didn't have info on their conditions. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2026/0...

This is the video.

Tim Walz has got nothing to lose. He needs to leverage the full power of the state government against ICE. Right now.

This is the piece of shit who Murdered a woman in Minneapolis today. Who is he?

This is blatantly illegal. A president can’t go into the oil business and then decide where to spend the money. We are completely untethered from our founding document with a lawless president and a Republican Congress which has abdicated all Constitutional authority.

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. #ICYMI, read the story that he wanted dropped:

Billionaire Tom Steyer: “Bernie was right. Boy was I wrong. We don’t have a choice. We need single-payer.” #MedicareForAllNOW

If he is released, he better have great security. If he's not around to stand trial, it will be easier for the magats to bury his motives. Although, come to think about it, Epstein was in custody. 🤔

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

I would love to see him win a Senate Seat but honestly he’s someone I’d support for President in 2028 . He has a great message and can win voters Bernie Sanders couldn’t . Can’t call him Crazy James - it wouldn’t work . I love his tax the rich message. If you haven’t heard him speak you should .

Trump busy bringing back measles, farm bailouts, ISIS, tax cuts for the rich, out of control military spending, conflicts with allies, millions without health insurance, food stamp cuts, military parades, pardons for drug traffickers, pollution, and foreign wars.

We are failing our kids

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers. And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam. And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate. Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXHPCL12QIg

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

@root2702.bsky.social Is this where Flynn works?

It’s time to stop saying that we need to understand these people. We do understand them. We understand that they have dug in their heels so deeply, they will not be moved by anything: not facts or data or truth or their own eyes. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-cant-ch...

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

HIRO PROTAGONIST: Enki tried to reimpose order on society by supplanting the old system of ~me~ w/the Code of Hammurabi. But Asherah worship continued in many places, an incredibly tenacious cult & throwback to Sumer that spread verbally & thru body fluids via cult prostitutes. #SnowCrash

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

I hope someone is writing "12 Hangry Men" about the sandwich guy jury

ATTN: if you’re on the sandwich guy jury, my Signal is in my bio. I’d love to talk after the trial. I’ll keep you anonymous. Please share widely.

And ending for-profit prisons.
