California is debating legislation right now that would ban all ICE employees from ever being hired by a public agency for life. This is good and next year's Democratic House needs to provide a full roster of ICE employees to help facilitate state efforts like this one.

No hell too hot. www.sunjournal.com/2026/07/13/i...

Hey Chicago! An ICE contractor is trying to buy our parking meters — and City Council decides whether that happens THIS WEEK. We've got time to stop this, but we need as many people as possible to fight back: tinyurl.com/icepark

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

they’ve been passing the video from the Ring around the Senate

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

It’s all been a con—from freakout over wokeness to the Harper’s Letter to ‘antisemitism in Universities’ to anti-trans panic. The freakout over TikTok is a con. In fact, China panic is a con. The AI build is a conn. It’s all part of a long series of cons. Real things do happen sometimes tho?

if I were an elected representative and my constituents were coming up and saying "our daughter can't go to college unless she gets an athletic scholarship" I would be like "this is why we need universal free college" not "we'll pretend to solve this by being cruel to trans people." crazy right

What, and I mean this with all seriousness, the fuck.

Anyone who claims to be a Democrat that tells you 'pulling our party to the left is bad' is a Republican. The people have spoken at the ballot box. What that person considers "extremely left" is median normie now. Don't give up an inch. Not one inch. Push left.

I don’t want to hear another word from establishment Dems about cooperating with Republicans. Don’t want to see another stupid bipartisan photo about “seersucker suit day” on the Hill. Nine people who protested ICE at a detention camp were just sentenced to 50-100 years in prison. WAKE TF UP.

"Too big to jail" must not be permitted to entrench itself into what passes for the 'rule of law' in the U.S. these days. We absolutely must refuse it.

Social Security isn’t going to run dry by accident. Income inequality is draining it. Once someone makes more than $182,000, they stop paying into Social Security. Lift the cap. Make billionaires pay their fair share. Protect Social Security. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

Climate change is, in fact, a kitchen table issue.

joe rogan looks like someone is shooting his face with a high pressure air hose.

We ALL KNOW is the crazy thing. We all know all the bad shit and can do nothing about it. My students know, my 80 year old parents know, my brother (who works on Wall Street) sees it is fucked. We don't want it. And it makes no difference! Authoritarianism baby. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/ai-...

Financial institutions are giving SpaceX shares special expedited treatment to burrow onto indexes that millions of index fund holders will then robotically purchase to induce demand. It's an innovative version of a pump-and-dump scheme. Eleanor Davis-Diver reports. prospect.org/2026/06/10/e...

Every year is like: Rand Paul: look at this waste: $40k to study whether the Brain Eating Death Worm can reproduce. Cut this now Brain Eating Death Worm kills 10,000 people Rand Paul: fucking Somalians.

finally got around to deleting my facebook account. see you in the funny papers.

I can’t get over all the journalists and centrist pundits who sneered that “Twitter isn’t real life” when it was full of weird leftists but now insist it’s a vital window into the public mood when the entire site is Nazis, illegal porn, bots, and Belarusians calling themselves “Iowa MAGA Farm Guy”

A new study by @katherinepomps.bsky.social reveals for the first time that almost one in 16 Jan. 6 insurrectionists subject to the president’s clemency order has been arrested for and charged with—and in the vast majority of cases convicted of—other crimes. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

“Donald Trump’s vile, evil agenda is not at all aligned with what our terrifying masks represent,” frontman Corey Taylor wrote

Anthropic and OpenAI are dangerous and unsustainable companies that shouldn’t be taken public. The AI bubble is a con and retail investors are the marks. AI doesn’t have ROI, it’s nothing like AWS or Uber, and it’s got no post-bubble recovery story. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbKD...

The current vision of “masculinity” coming from the right is “spoiled asshole teenage boy who wants a mom who will fuck him in addition to doing his laundry and also will never tell him to turn off Call of Duty” and I don’t know why more Dems don’t push back on it by merely pointing that out

The first ever trillionaire will become a trillionaire by using political power to bend the rules of financial markets to force everybody’s retirement accounts to invest in his company

the first calls for a national health insurance program in the united states came during the teddy Roosevelt administration.

people who describe themselves as entrepreneurs are weird.

Holy shit

if you think twitter is full of rollicking fun exciting conversations then i disagree but respect yuor beliefs. if you call it "x" then you are my foe

@mayor.nyc.gov: “I have thought often of the "Margeret Thatcher quote: ‘the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.’ If anything, my friends, it seems that you eventually need a socialist to clean up the mess."

I think one of the greatest threats to our institutions that Trump poses is that he exposes beyond any shadow of a doubt that they have never existed to safeguard justice and equality; they have always existed to protect white male supremacy and corruption on behalf of the wealthy.

listen up graduates

its what conservatives do. their purpose is to get themselves into positions of political power and fuck things up not make things work better. personal enrichment and lucrative sinecures after they leave is the reward. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Republicans have rolled over, but our Democratic leaders are completely failing us too. This is one of the most dangerous moments for the world in modern history. Stop this bloodthirsty madman. (3/3)

ah i see… black sabbath is 1970s metallica and uriah heep is 70s slayer

Democratic senators: It's time to draw a line in the sand. A nominee for Attorney General will soon come before you. Make the confirmation process about releasing ALL of the Epstein files (without redactions) and prosecuting the Epstein class. (1/2)

pretty much already way sick of newsom.

What the average person thinks HR is supposed to do for them at a job is what unions are actually for.

Confiscate 99.8% of Andreesen’s net worth for the public good, wait 20 minutes, and then tell him his memory of ever having more than $4 million is false.

I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.
