JD Vance appropriating the term "blood libel" to describe legitimate criticism of ICE agents is one of the most antisemitic things I have heard in US politics in the past few weeks. Yet this administration has somehow managed to convince a lot of people it actually cares about fighting antisemitism.

An extremely funny exchange over on Twitter between Geoffrey Ingersoll (the author of that piece calling for violence) and @mikedrucker.bsky.social:

Breaking | Due to the siege of its clinics by Israeli occupation forces, Doctors Without Borders announced the suspension of its activities and withdrawal from Gaza City.

HEGSETH: Real warriors FIGHT GENERALS: [noise of restrained approval] HEGSETH: Real warriors DRINK GENERALS: [somewhat less noise] HEGSETH: NOBODY tells real warriors how much to drink or when or where GENERALS: [awkward silence] /1

Having a temper tantrum in public because the barista hand-delivered my drink to me instead of shouting a dead bigot’s name at the 2 other people in an empty coffee shop while I post rage videos about it online

ahaaaaaaaaaa these fucking cunts couldn't even cancel it on their own channels

one cynically funny thing about Hegseth thinking he can retcon the genocide atop which America was built is that the rest of the world is not fooled & will never be fooled. World history will always teach that the Army committed organized murder of civilians at Wounded Knee. It’s generally known

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

We have a white supremacist gestapo with complete immunity in our country now.

Can't stop thinking about the Anthony Fantano-ass ICE agent who dropped his gun and then pointed it at bystanders. Really replicating the Nazis' oaf-little weiner dichotomy

Insane to know that corporate America doesn’t let up with this line even if you’re literally the biggest musician in the world

Real post on another network:

"Wait, so I'm THE queen!?!"

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Also: when a government acts brutally and lawlessly and immorally, but tells you that pointing those things out incites violence and terrorism, that government and its agents are entitled to no respect or credence.

Surprise genital inspection

Well of course he’s looking out for Argentina, he’s gonna have to hide out there someday

funniest current scenario is that “ANTI-ICE” was indeed a BORTAC idiot with a Sharpie, that’s now clear to everyone internally, and they’d be able to just bury it if Kash F. Patel hadn’t immediately tweeted it out

Good. Every public employee who lost a job for posting something about Charlie Kirk should be reinstated with back pay and damages.

which means you just petulantly keep starting Reichstag fires while looking back at the audience for approval with moist, increasingly desperate eyes

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

“This was the culmination of months of antagonism from Grenell. In April, Williams emailed the interim president asking him if Trump’s overhaul of the center would lead to any logistical changes. She described what he sent back as “absolutely insane.””

KASH PATEL: you falsify that evidence with messages that are anti-ICE in nature yet? LOW LEVEL FBI AGENT: sure did, boss. wrote the words "ANTI-ICE" on them nice and big, just like you asked KASH PATEL: what

lots to be concerned about, but strong authoritarian regimes with durable secret police forces don’t have to put uwu smol bean press releases out asking people to be nice to them

see THIS is how you do journalism; it doesn't matter how incorrect or harmful a claim is- if one side says it's true you MUST act like it's legitimate or else you're partisan You guys are failing miserably @npr.org

I am not going to dwell on the utter insanity coming out of the Trump regime right now but we need to see the photos of the original crime scene not the ones created - and perhaps altered - for propaganda purposes.

dogshit job @npr.org

This jumping to conclusions by the Trump regime & putting out biased information by DHS has to stop!! DHS itself has confirmed that the victims were detainees but Noem and Vance have already jumped to reframe the attack as anti-law enforcement violence. Shame on the both of them. Zero credibility.

"More than a million people had canceled Disney streaming subscriptions as of Monday, the Disney source told me, and the company likely knew that trend would only continue the longer they kept Kimmel silenced." @marisakabas.bsky.social w/ a doozy. 👀

Personally, I have always disliked stuff that sucks. And yet, they keep making it

Congrats @theatlantic.com, you've just framed & published an article that the corrupt Trump Administration will use as an excuse to crack down on all their critics. This is literally as they spent 2 weeks, w/o evidence, blaming Kirk's murder on "the left." (They still blame "the left")

Zohran Mamdani ahead of Curtis Sliwa and tied with Andrew Cuomo on STATEN ISLAND?! there is no race. it's over over.

1/ Hi, I'm TProphet. I write the Telecom Informer for @2600.com. A lot of people have been asking me about www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat... given that I'm somewhat knowledgeable in the area. Here's my take: I'm kind of astonished that this is public, and it isn't normal that it would ever be.

Nintendo should definitely sue DHS for using the Pokémon theme song and images to make a video about catching human beings.

You guys do yourself a favor and look at what Eric Adams wore to Rosh Hashanah services at the Sephardic Lebanese Congregation

Trump/MAGA have baited media into inflating Kirk into a world historical martyr, thus exaggerating the cultural pull of Trumpism. The reality: It's Trump's authoritarian abuses that are provoking a massive cultural and societal backlash. (h/t @gelliottmorris.com) newrepublic.com/article/2008...

"WHOOPS! Licked the boot too hard and people noticed!"

Politico running cover for dangerous nonsense

An ICE agent shot Silverio dead. DHS lied about what happened. There needs to be a full, thorough investigation into what happened that morning. All camera footage must be released. And Noem must come to the committee and account for ICE's unlawfulness and lies.

MAGA clearly wanted Charlie Kirk's death to be a watershed moment, one where they consolidated control, particularly cultural control. This story in the Lake County Record-Bee is one more sign that it may have been a watershed in the opposite direction, an overreach that has normal people fed up.

buddy our major media institutions work overtime cleaning up his insanity, that's a big part of the problem

dude they raptured me up there but then sent me back down after i made an -addmittedly crude- joke about how caked-up st. peter is

I cannot fathom how to reconcile what Harris says in this clip about believing the titans of industry need to be the guardrails with the fact that her husband remains a partner at Willkie, one of the large law firms that surrendered to Trump. www.willkie.com/professional...
