A New Jersey police sergeant has been charged with stealing $10,000 worth of camera equipment from a photojournalist.

and for the record: i will NEVER believe he didn't know he had a nazi tattoo until last october.

my takeaway from graham platner interview on @allinwithchris.bsky.social proves that he is a good communicator...except when it comes to all these issues about his character. when he is needing to be honest about his background, he's bumbling, evasive, and just doesn't come off as candid and honest.

I doubt that he’s an actual Nazi. I think he got off on making people upset when they found out about his tattoo. The whole dynamic of this race, with the pearl-clutchers expressing concern and his fans cheering his dismissal of them as pearl-clutchers, is a ratcheting up of these libidinal themes

fwiw my read on planter is that he is a man who derives pleasure from making other people uncomfortable and a bit scared, which is why I think he enlisted without realizing what he was getting into, why he kept the tattoo for so long, why he wore a blackwater cap, and why he kept an ak around

Huge scoop by @pattynieberg.bsky.social: 'The Army has a plan in place for the service to carry out executions of military prisoners on death row, if execution orders are approved by President Donald Trump, officials confirmed.'

But first, the Senate will conduct votearama, with unlimited amendments. Will Republicans vote to keep Trump's ballroom and the DOJ slush fund for traitors? Will Democrats vote to screw over immigrants even more? Follow along!

@deadlinewh.bsky.social is a trip. it's like a live-action spider-man meme, but w/no self-awareness at all. railing against todd blanche w/out acknowledging the clip you just showed was from a federalist society event. that this show exists really helps explain how we ended up where we are today

Satrapi’s obituary mentioned this Instagram tribute to her late husband, and as I couldn’t imagine it I went to look. And it broke my heart.

audibly gasped seeing this www.lemonde.fr/en/obituarie...

Last night, the US military invaded a quiet residential neighborhood in Pasadena for a “training exercise” that went until 1AM. Mayor Victor Gordo didn’t inform residents until right before and supposedly the military didn’t tell the city until yesterday

I think it's bad that the House Democratic Leader can't just unequivocally condemn a racist smear from a racist newspaper against an army combat medic veteran who just won a primary to join his caucus next year.

My mother has been a hypertension patient for 25 years. Yet since the genocide broke out, her medicine gradually ran out until it vanished from the markets altogether, with no clinic, pharmacy, warehouse, or stockpile left untouched by the shortage.

"The Israeli military has launched a wave of air strikes on Gaza city, killing at least 9 Palestinians, five were members of the same family. Overnight strikes targeted residential apartments with no prior warning as people were asleep"

so, he's a christian conservative capitalist, aka a republican. @votewelch.bsky.social in the primary. we need better democrats jonathanlarsen.substack.com/p/tom-suozzi...

They've killed 204-206 people. But "they have not used the presence of narcotics on the boat as one of the targeting criteria." THEY HAVE NOT USED THE PRESENCE OF NARCOTICS ON THE BOAT AS ONE OF THE TARGETING CRITERIA.

💯 been saying this since last year. bsky.app/profile/annm... cities and states are going to have to figure out how to withhold federal taxes from this lawless government. sorting that out is above my pay grade, but it has to be done.

john mcenroe: all italian names end in a vowel except one. sinner. do people claim he's not a real italian? 😐

it is time for the mcenroe brothers to retire from broadcasting. not only do the viewers deserve better, but so do the players. why waste eubanks by putting him courtside? #rolandgarros

It’s amazing that anyone bothers putting a resume together when the secret to getting a new job is to be a white terrorist

wow! stunning collapse from sabalenka. just a wild turn of events. can shnaider hang on? #rolandgarros

".. after the attacks the Lebanese civil defence in Tyre received threatening phone calls from Israeli officials ordering them to abandon their command centre" Israel is a terrorist state.

"6 people killed in an Israeli air strike just outside of Tyre.. those were farmers.. there were strikes that targeted two paramedic facilities in 2 different locations.. a paramedic was killed in one of those attacks.." Obaida Hitto reporting on some of Israels latest attacks

Also anyone with any actual experience managing a newsroom knows that if you have real reporters in your bullpen they will confront you with real questions about your intentions. If you can’t handle it, you have no business managing a newsroom.

Just so we’re all crystal clear, the Supreme Court says they’ve gutted the voting rights act and used the fifteenth amendment to justify it; what they’ve really done is to rewrite the fifteenth amendment, designed to protect non-white citizens’ voting rights, as a White Power amendment.

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

i am so goddamn sick of mark vientos #mets

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

how's that viewpoint diversity working out?

Maybe now people understand why the idea of "national security mom" as a type of politician made me ill. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/o...

As people defy a police crackdown to support hunger strikers at Delaney Hall in NJ, a campaign is growing in rural Pennsylvania to shut down ICE’s largest jail on the East Coast, where a man with advanced kidney failure worries he may become the 4th person held there to die in the past 3 years.

From @anitawadhwani.bsky.social & @cstephenson.bsky.social for @tennesseelookout.com: Bystanders reported being bumper-rushed by cars driven by federal agents, boxed into their vehicles as they arrived to record arrests, surveilled at home, photographed, followed and taunted by name by officers.

Disappointing when any talented and respected creator decides to toss all that up onto the altar of techbro capitalism to feed the liar machine.

Until proven otherwise, the JCPOA is the high water mark of American diplomacy and it's emblematic of everything since that the US was unable to honor it (thanks to sabotage by Trump) and unwilling to restore it (thanks to sabotage by hardliners within the Democratic caucus and Biden's indifference)

boy, the white lady democratic governors really suck, don't they?

The role of the Governor is to protect Californians, and to stand between them and danger. That's a role I take very, very seriously, particularly when it comes to trans youth.

In the Prairieland trial, the government pointed to black clothing, Signal chats and anti-fascist literature as evidence of conspiracy. Newly obtained FBI files may complicate that argument.

Breaking: New York City today began "mega master" hearings of immigrants, with dockets of over 100 per day and proceedings of less than 3 minutes, to accelerate deportations. prospect.org/2026/06/01/n...

“A celebration of Jewish pride and unity” Okay but it clearly wasn‘t! They call it the Israel Day parade not the Jewish Pride parade

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

A reminder that Bovino planned and executed the racist terror campaign against Latinos that Brett Kavanaugh explicitly blessed in September. Kavanaugh Stops were born through Kavanaugh giving Bovino the benefit of the doubt.

ah, the kathy hochul special...

"C,mon bro. Please. Just 580 more cops bro. 580 more cops and it'll be perfect. 34,749 cops in New York City is not enough cops bro. We are so close. We can't stop now. Look at the pictures bro. Look at them. That's not enough cops. We only need to add 580 more and it would be enough. Please bro."

just unlimited funding for these fascist assholes, but somehow we can't get one half of 1% of the budget for our libraries. mamdani has nothing but try to appease the people who did everything they could to prevent him from being elected while pissing off his biggest supporters. interesting gambit

Billionaire heiress police commissioner Jessica Tisch is smugly taking clean hits on her boss, the mayor, in front of the entire City Council, cheered on by its speaker. City Hall is letting this continue for political reasons, but it's increasingly unsustainable. hellgatenyc.com/nypd-commiss...
