In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

What the fuck.

FBI: "There was anti-ICE writing on the bullet." *flash over to the scene of the crime* *bullet has "anti-ICE" written on it* This is not real. This is a Family Guy bit.

Elon Musk is an illegal immigrant who lied to secure a green card and then citizenship and should be expelled back to South Africa says Steve Bannon. Actually, Bannon's accusations stand up to scrutiny. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The Lincoln Project talked about this.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.

95 democrats, including @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social voted to "honor" the life of charlie kirk, who called for joe biden to be killed and said black women like justice ketanji brown jackson are unqualified affirmative action hires. shame. clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/rol...

Here it is! Proof of which @housedemocrats.bsky.social thought racist, misogynist hate-spreaders deserve honor.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

scramble you little shits, scramble

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Pour one out for the @nytpitchbot.bsky.social. Satire is dead in a world where the real "reporting" looks like this

Jennings: He does not have a right to have a TV show where he lies his ass off to the American people and attacks half this country on a nightly basis Phillip: There are plenty of people over on another network who lied about the last election, who denigrate half the country every single night.

Glad that Gov. Gavin Newsom is up for the fight and understands the danger.

He made the Albania mistake elsewhere recently as well (and his latest target, Seth Meyers, mocked him for confusing Albania and Armenia). Now he's still making that mistake and pushing to get Meyers canceled.

Here are the comments that ABC used as justification for canceling Jimmy Kimmel Live.

FOX news host suggests we euthanize the homeless, someone goes into two encampments and starts shooting. 13 people shot and Jacob Frey and the media are just talking about it as the new best reason to clear the encampments

This is the official spokesperson for the White House, stating that the President hopes to deploy the United States military to occupy every city controlled by the political party that opposes him. Explicitly.

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

! I've been banging this drum for months Due process is how you determine things like 'is this person a citizen' & 'did they break a law' GOP's insistence that noncitizens & lawbreakers shouldn't get due process is putting the racism-cart before the logic-horse ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

In light of today’s SCOTUS decision, every person of color with an accent in the US should probably carry proof of citizenship with them at all times - while working and everywhere they go. If you don’t want to be in a detention facility awaiting a friend or relative to bring it.

Many media types and Dems continue to operate as if Trump is a politically invincible figure, a "Teflon Don." But in truth he's becoming an increasingly weak, failing, diminished, unpopular, naked-emperor figure, and it's time to treat him as such. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2000...

Is it just me or are Republicans A LOT more intrusive in our health care and patient-physician interactions than Dems have ever been? It’s like they want to personally do everyone’s prostate exam…

Holy shit…You can’t make this up: a plane is circling Soldier Field before the Bears home opener with a banner that reads— “HEY ICE, MASKS ARE FOR CUCKS.” Also the trolling is incredible for those that told us to stop wearing masks during the pandemic.

Found this lying on the ground on Capitol Hill. The phone number is for the Heritage Foundation. LOL.

I think a venn-diagram conception of SCOTUS/Trump relations has the most descriptive and predictive accuracy.

Sure, Jan

From 2016, just a refresher, the European parties the Kremlin was bankrolling, had captured, or had compromised individuals (marked by *) within them. This has only grown because nobody took the threat seriously then, despite all the warnings, which led to the invasion of Ukraine, Brexit, Trump.

They’re doing all this to prevent people from MEMORIALIZING A MASS SHOOTING

The damage this man has done is incalculable.

1) This dangerous lunatic is spouting Naomi Wolf-like woo-woo bullshit. 2) A president in his right mind would fire this dangerous lunatic. 3) A non-chickenshit Congress would impeach and remove this dangerous lunatic. 4) Instead, this dangerous lunatic is attacking the CDC. Right now. Tonight.

I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.

this is exactly right. it's the same stupid bet every republican has made since 2015.

Cutest wrestling ever! 😊😍 #dog #dogday #cat #catday #bluesky

If you’re under any illusions about what an authoritarian personality cult the GOP has become, they’re not hiding it:

Armed Trump administration agents wearing masks just showed up outside of Gavin Newsom’s press conference. This is what rising fascism looks like.

"Republicans Aren’t Gunning for 5 House Seats. They’re Aiming to Steal 42" Texas is just the start, writes Peter Rothpletz for Zeteo. The MAGA right’s newest scheme involves a three-pronged strategy to lock Democrats out of political power, perhaps forever. Read/share/subscribe:
