MA law enforcement should immediately arrest these agents, who ought to spend a long, long time in prison.

the media won't cover it like this, because they like Trump, but anti-vax shit is like seriously, seriously unpopular, in every poll. Deeply toxic opinion. Vaccine requirements for school kids are 70% for vs 28% against incl. majority of GOP voters www.pewresearch.org/science/2023...

FDR won 42 states in 1932, it wasn't by pandering to Hoover voters. Then Republicans called him a socialist for 4 years. Then he ran for reelection and won 46 states

The Guardian editorial board says recognition must serve as a start, a call to action, and not the end or a symbolic move. Sanctions, meaningful economic and diplomatic pressure, and an ironclad pathway to a resolution of the conflict is necessary.

It’s tempting to look at this and hear the David Bowie lyric “This is not America”, but it is, on a Friday morning, in a suburb of Chicago. We stood holding signs and flags, chanting and singing. ICE tear gassed us, shot us with pepper balls, physically attacked us. This is America, that is me.

Check out Justice Eddins’ complete repudiation of the Roberts Court here. It’s worth reading in full. It’s quite brave—and exceedingly rare—for a sitting judge to speak so candidly and scathingly about SCOTUS’ partisan contortions of law, history, and fact. www.courts.state.hi.us/wp-content/u...

The idea of running anti-abortion Democrats is sickening to me. That means killing women! That is what that means!

"We are going to have to live here with each other" is the exact premise that Republicans do not agree about. Their proposition is mass immiseration, mass expulsion and mass murder. The only way to oppose political violence and avoid further political violence is to contend directly with that fact.

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

When ICE floods a neighborhood with tear gas, it is flooding that neighborhood with a known abortifacient. In a just world, that sort of behavior would be a ticket to the Hague.

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

Dutch late night TV has its take

I just spoke to NYC Comptroller Brad Lander as he left police custody following his arrest at immigration court. Here’s what he said:

It’s time to get real about density. It has not caused gentrification. It hasn’t displaced the black population of Seattle. Single family zoning displaced Seattle’s black population. The biggest drop in black population was in that zone. The growth occurred in multi family zones that grew housing.

Watch this video. Mimi is a constituent of mine. She testified at a shadow hearing today about caring for four U.S. citizen children who were detained and torn from their parents.

yes! congressional control of the purse applies to the white house as well. you can defund stephen miller.

!!!!

throwing Iraq War levels of coordinated messaging into the ether and getting zip out of it is weakness

A totalitarian movement must never achieve its goals, as that would eliminate the need for the movement itself. Even in victory, new enemies must be created in order to justify further cruelty and domination.

Let me get this straight: you get cancelled for calling them fascists and get investigated for being anti-fascist

After this quote is a bit of framing Pritzker has notably been using more: he goes through and names how "we can't rely" on all three branches of the federal government to have any loyalty to the Constitution. The implication of who else that leaves in the American system of government isn't subtle.

not to bring up the email signup thing again but this is why you don’t scare people about dumb and meaningless shit and why if you are someone with any meaningfully large personal following, this is much more important, it filters out poorly

ask not what your country can do for you, but what arcane zoning knowledge you possess that can ruin a US attorney's day

this DOJ can barely put their fucking pants on in the morning, they simply are not ready and are not prepared to fight every single city and half the states on every ticky tacky issue which those cities and states previously gave them a pass on

but I'm not happy about it 😠

UNHOUSED PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE THE VICTIMS OF CRIME THAN THE PERPETRATORS People are so bothered by someone drinking a beer in a park or trying to sleep on a sidewalk they froth at the mouth screaming about how they are a danger to society. And this is what fucking happens.

8 Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to enable 14-year-olds in DC to be tried as adults: Cuellar Davis (NC) Gillen Golden Lee (NV) Min Perez Vindman Harmful, heinous, counterproductive, and deeply racist clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/rol...

"As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald."

this is appropriately blistering. the Koreans are fucking pissed and they are entirely right to be english.hani.co.kr/arti/english...

JD Vance: “Charlie Kirk never said Black women do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously. He never uttered those words.” Charlie Kirk: “Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Ketanji Brown Jackson — you do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken seriously.”

Yes but this statement obviously (not arguing with Fig ofc just adding) is not mutually exclusively from: can still ruin numerous lives along the way

Pretty crazy how "America is a legit, no bullshit fascist country" is now a NYT headline.

So the enforcers of laws will take away your money and power even if you haven’t broken any laws?

I hope people understand that the anomaly here aren’t the conditions—the conditions are very typical—the anomaly is that they put a number of documented workers from a high-income country in those conditions. This is how people are treated in custody routinely

Incredibly embarrassing to see this and then pop over to boomerbook to see that my own congresswoman managed to get over there and canvass for him before Jeffries even endorsed 💀💀

Folks are rightfully outraged over Brian Kilmeade's remarks, but "Just kill them" is official policy in nearly every US city. Sweeping the homeless constantly, like Mayor Bruce does, and denying them the basic things they need to sustain life, is "Just kill them" by another method.

One less-highlighted reason that criticism of Charlie Kirk is taken by conservatives as clear desire for/intention to enact political violence is that when conservatives criticize their targets, it is usually with the desire for and intent of enacting violence. So we see: they know words can kill.

a question I often find myself asking these days: "are these the moves of a movement that feels that it's winning or one desperately afraid that it's about to lose everything?"

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social: ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday. Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events. Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

Never have I ever regretted invasively controlling my parents social media usage with an iron fist...this slop is so insidious and they lament(ed) to me regularly about people they know falling for it and I'm so glad it's not them 🙃

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

going from "transgender ideology" to "look at the poor misguided white kid" without even taking a breath, unconscionable

I really just think it's class and racial solidarity at work. They see themselves in him and they do not have solidarity with his targets.

one of the funnier bits of Online is the extent to which the right's depiction of Dem politicians is everything the left criticizes them for not being the left spent years being annoyed at Obama for not being more confrontational! Michelle's "when they go low we go high" was mocked endlessly!

Keep picturing Patel dropping the casings in terror after reading “if you read this youre gay”

It's incredible how liberal media figures and politicians have decided to make up a fictional Kirk that they liked the moment his heart stopped pumping. They care about republicans more than they'll ever respect their own base. Traitors, liars, losers

Among other things, she doesn’t understand the myth of Pandora’s box.

oh these are moderate views on the right?
