In a sane world, there would be immediate investigations concerning insider trading within the government, but instead we live in a clown world where this is somehow normalized and expected like goddamn Polymarket

(worf voice) ICE agents are worthless despicable people, who by their choice of career have utterly disgraced themselves; there is but one honorable course of action available to them, but... (clenching teeth, visibly frustrated) i am bound by Community Guidelines, and can say no more on the matter

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”

Climate/renewables arguments aside, this is the president's administration paying a foreign company to invest in states where Republicans are in charge rather than ones where Democrats are in charge -- using tax dollars to punish people who didn't vote for his party.

If they worked in the public sector, then it's of the public interest to know that the people dismantling our government are sociopathic technofascists

I think this could go either way, and it's profoundly alarming that it may come down to a single vote. The legal arguments against late-arriving ballots make no sense; the policy arguments are rooted in concern about voter fraud that does not exist. I fear for the midterms. slate.com/news-and-pol...

NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/trum...

The thing glowing op eds said would never happen is happening

"Ohio is now among the 19 states that have banned ranked choice voting." Banning RCV is undemocratic coward behavior favored only by a ruling duopoly uninterested in the desires of the people they claim to serve.

NEW: The Trump administraiton has lost more than 7,000 immigration detention cases in recent months. Increasingly, DOJ is telling judges they have no argument to present or couldn't get facts from ICE to present in court. A look at this emerging trend. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Murdoch and former Nixon aide Roger Ailes had by then spent a decade building a media machine designed to give Republicans impunity — a system that didn’t just cover the right wing but constructed it, training an audience to distrust every institution that might check the people [he] wanted in power

"Glades County Detention Center has long faced allegations of abuse. In 2022, 17 members of Congress asked that it be closed, citing immigrants being 'subject to racist abuse, often resulting in verbal abuse and violence; sexual abuse, including sexual voyeurism by guards [watching] women shower—"

The gang discuss Polymarket gamblers harassing journalists to alter news coverage, the antifa terrorism case in Texas, threats to oil and gas infrastructure, 2,500 Marines being sent to the Middle East, and the resignation of Joe Kent. linktr.ee/ICHHpod

In a sane society, Trump would be impeached a million times over for all the obvious corruption and constant circumvention of democratic systems, but Dems are terrified of making the effort due to the conservatives' public perception of them and believing inherently that they won't have the votes.

I'd like to see actual consequences before I get excited over his bullshit catching up with him, but fingers crossed I guess

There's a level of self-awareness that I think some conservatives lack to their extreme detriment

Apparently its now criminal to speak the truth, though I'm also not sure how "criminal" it is when Petro isn't even a U.S. citizen. Then again, that didn't stop these thin-skinned fascists from nabbing Maduro.

Funny how AI seems to benefit the worst people

I wonder how many low-key red flags were present in the relationship before he pulled this disgusting stunt? No one becomes a deplorable sociopath overnight. A modeling agent in the Epstein Files? Gee, I wonder why she divorced him....

The people who cancelled Jimmy Kimmel after Charlie Kirk's assassination will now control television stations that reach 80% of Americans, twice that what was legally allowed before Trump's takeover. The state capture of network television is almost complete.

For all the deference Republicans give to veterans and their "gold star" families, they sure as fuck don't listen to them:

"The measure does carve out an exception for tribal IDs to be permitted to register to vote, but it would not accept IDs without an expiration date—which many tribal IDs do not have." Republicans know EXACTLY what they're doing.

Even in a world of extremes, some events still stand out to me. This is one. All-time monthly records are being shattered. The size of this ridge across the western U.S. is truly striking for March, and we see a very clear climate change connection. Explore: csi.climatecentral.org/climate-shif...

It's always about some out-of-touch election hack instead of discussing (and being accountable for) actual substantive policy. Consultants are largely a grift

oh look at that www.pew.org/en/research-...

"Chavez Velasco’s wife told MS NOW that he has no criminal record. He was brought to the U.S. from Colombia by his parents when he was 8, and was able to enroll in DACA in 2012, going on to earn two bachelor’s degrees in biology and clinical laboratory science."

“Vote no on the SAVE Act because even when it’s done eviscerating your right to vote, the SAVE Act would turn its sights on election officials. — @heinrich.senate.gov 1/2

Joe Kent is neither the worst person you know making a good point nor a broken clock; he’s a notorious antisemite and white supremacist who is blaming Jews to get out of a real job that’s quite difficult right now as we increasingly explode the world and create the conditions for terrorism.

“You have lost the confidence & the trust of this court. You have lost the confidence & the trust of the NJ legal community, & you are losing the trust & confidence of the public.” Pam Bondi is burning the DOJ to the ground www.nytimes.com/2026/03/17/n...

Our closing message.

People of Illinois: We have same-day voter registration! If you bring proof of address (a piece of mail with your name and address on it), you can register to vote TODAY and then vote TODAY. More info below! Please do it! (And please vote for Kat!)

Trump will literally quid pro quo you to death, holy shit

War with Iran? What war with Iran?

Ukraine is holding back Russia and thus fulfilling the entire traditional mission of NATO without any soldiers or sailors from other countries. Trump is meanwhile demanding NATO allies leave the continent they are supposed to be defending to join him in a doomed adventure he chose in the Middle East

Absolutely disgusting. What's the justification for this unnecessary cruelty?

Oh hey, one of the founders of both the neoconservative movement and anti-intellectualism in government has an idea:

The more things change, the more they stay the same 🤷‍♀️

Fox News started as a propaganda op. It became a government training school.

You know you're being an effective candidate when the oligarchic dark money machine turns its Eye of Sauron on you:

How many years did we have to hear about Benghazi, Hillary Clinton's crime against the American people? 1.5 minutes for six dead soldiers in Trump's idiotic war. We must destroy Billionaire Occupied Media.

Never say your vote can't count, damn

my living room is ready for guests. the only thing prohibiting entrance right now is i am blindly firing a 30.06 at my door. should i stop doing that, it will be perfectly safe to enter.

When a ghoul admits to being a ghoul:

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

Trump is openly allowing Russia to fund its continued aggression of Ukraine. For Ukraine, who needs enemies when you have allies like the United States?

"As the ranks of mental health care providers at the VA have shrunk, the department has proposed shifting billions of dollars into community care, a program in which veterans obtain health care via private physicians and other providers. But the program has been stretched thin..."

“If successful, the fund could give Silicon Valley’s elite a long-term political machine meant to rival the powerful constellation of labor unions, progressive groups and other entrenched interests in Sacramento.”

My priorities:

Conservatives need to reckon with the reality of why fascists, white nationalists and evangelicals consistently choose the Republican party as their political home. The GOP has a sympathetic ear for their extremist beliefs as a method to grow their aging base to supplement their minority ideology.

Excellent conversation between @matthew.flux.community and @elienyc.bsky.social on the lies we tell ourselves as lawyers
