A patriot. “For how can you compete, Being honor bred, with one Who were it proved he lies Were neither shamed in his own Nor in his neighbors' eyes?” — Yeats

What the actual fuck?

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Pam Bondi has failed to explain how her brother and his corporate clients continue to achieve unexpected and favorable outcomes in cases in which the Bondi Justice Department intervenes. @congressmin.bsky.social and I are urging the DOJ Inspector General to launch an investigation.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed. Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)

🇺🇸 Everything's fine. Move along. He forgot to thank you for your attention to this matter. 🔴 @ddgeopolitics.bsky.social

Fund TSA, not ICE. A pretty simple message.

Part of my disgust and disdain for so many people in this country is that that they are so easily duped. All that fuck has to do is call some egregious bill the “SAVE AMERICA” act and the stupids rush to vote against their own interests, while accusing us of not wanting to “save America”.

I lost my cousin on 9-11 and have had to listen to all kinds of conspiracy theories about what happened and why. The state of New York mandates that it be taught through its curricular standards. That's how you do it. What Virginia is doing is dangerous. open.substack.com/pub/kevinmle...

Sending this around again in case anyone missed it. I have a feeling this will become a big piece of this puzzle if Thiels obsession with Armageddon plays a part.

Nice pull and an important reminder that, no, things haven't always been like this.

It would be interesting to research just how many people at the M-A-L dinner party placed trades before the market opened.

I wonder where else Musk’s America PAC was running this scheme? 🤔 #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

. The former PRINCE of England was arrested for his heinous crimes in the Epstein files I thought Donald Trump and Pam Bondi said this was a democratic hoax… #TrumpFiles #AndrewMountbattenWindsor .

So after Trump pardoned Honduras's narco-president, the admin didn't just let him out--they canceled an immigration hold and sent a specialized team to **chauffeur him to the $1k/night Waldorf Astoria.** “It's "absolutely fucking nuts,” said one official www.propublica.org/article/trum...

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters. The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

New Mexico launches investigation into Epstein ranch, now owned by MAGA candidate father of Trump employee: www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

BREAKING: Several people are injured after a shooting at an ice rink in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the matter. This is a developing story.

This would be the first ICE detention center in New England afaik

A multimillionaire thinks that paying down the national debt is so important that all the poors should get into the workforce earlier, work in it harder, and stay in it later to help pay it off. It's the only possible way to do it!

"The largest immigrant deportation and prison contractors in the US are expecting an epic payout this year: for every $1 that they donated to GOP campaigns in 2024, these private companies stand to reap more than $11,000 in increased annual revenue."

It's been fun seeing The Consultants lose their mind about how they don't get this ad, which is the coolest shit she's done yet. (Also, yes, that's Matt Mercer, who I've come to learn since this ad dropped is more famous than Michael Jordan.)

I just responded to the scene at 26th and Nicollet shortly after the observer was shot. They teargassed and/or pepper sprayed Jana Shortal of KARE11 at the scene and she was being treated when I walked up. ICE have a fancy camera they are using to scan the faces of the crowd.

If the US were a geopolitical rival the headlines would be like: US Secret Police Execute Second Dissident In the Streets As Militarized Occupation Enters Sixth Week

man could we please stop with the ignorant “Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, so the people who live there must be white” takes? 89.51% of Greenland’s population are Greenlandic Inuit.

The best & most cost efficient way to solve the illegal immigration problem is fining employers & landlords to the point it's no longer profitable to house and employ them, but then we'd have to admit how much of our economy runs on cheap undocumented labor. So we treat the symptom, not the cause.

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

This is how all of the Trump Cabinet see our entire government. They want a new world order and they want to remove any and all merit-based civil government work force to be replaced by only those who share their fascist racist misogynist world view.

Major streaming companies raised prices nearly 20% in December, jacking up video and video games subscription service costs at a blistering pace. Some popular streaming services, like Disney+, have gone as far as nearly tripling prices since they launched.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

This is a big no-no in armed combat. It’s like dressing up as a doctor or a nurse and then shooting someone. If this is proven accurate, it’s 100% a war crime.

Does anyone remember how many senate hearings actually produced anything positive? I don't.

What do these companies have in common? -Cigna -Comcast -General Mills -Allstate -Marriott -Hilton -Walmart -Amazon -Microsoft -Meta All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And all have broken that promise.

The same joy as when he talked about walking in on unclothed teens or grabbing women by the pussy. "When you're a star, they let you do it."

One month ago, Trump pardoned former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández from a 45-year sentence for drug trafficking and weapons charges. The Trump administration doesn’t care about drugs or weapons, despite what it currently says about Venezuela’s Maduro.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison
