I wonder when we'll be ready to talk about how schools are now full of gameified dopamine slot machine apps for learning times tables, science, even reading itself, that are priming an entire generation for gambling and gaming addiction.

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

The economy produced roughly the same number of jobs in Joe Biden’s last full month in office as it produced in Donald Trump’s first full year in office.

NEW: Jonathon Redondo-Rosales, a 36-year-old LA protester, spent six months in jail accused of assaulting a federal officer with a *cloth hat.* A judge tossed out the DOJ’s case, accusing govt of acting in “bad faith” and engaging in “prosecutorial harassment“ that could “chill lawful protest”

The US is deporting people back to certain death. There is blood on the hands of ICE. www.ibtimes.co.uk/ice-abductio...

This is literally what CURRENT LAW requires. It’s in the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

If you want to understand how far-reaching the corporate rot in media is, read this gutting piece about the fall of Oregon Public Broadcasting. (And follow @ryanjhaas.bsky.social and @leahsottile.bsky.social’s new publication @thewesternedge.bsky.social which will be amazing bc they’re amazing)

I wrote about exactly this share.inquirer.com/E8Sayo

From 1975 to 2023, $79 trillion in wealth was transferred from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. www.commondreams.org/opinion/trum...

I want to reiterate that this shit is nuts. A federal invasion of state-run elections, an intelligence community invasion of federal law enforcement, a White House invasion of a criminal investigation, and a president’s insane treasonable sore loser obsession all rolled up and muddled together.

The IDF have bulldozed part of a Gaza cemetery containing the war graves of British soldiers from WWI and WWII

Well, my fellow Maine voters. Here is Susan Collins today paying tribute to her boss while holding her MAGA hat.

What's that you say! It was all just fear pushing by bad faith groups and that trans women pose no threat to cisgender women. www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

A retiree wrote this email to a DHS attorney. Within five hours, DHS demanded Google turn over records for his account. A Kafkaesque form of domestic surveillance, intimidating Americans for lawful speech. New from us at the Post: www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio... @johnwoodrowcox.bsky.social

Fascinating that an Ai that doesn’t yet exist and obviously has not demonstrated any ability to “practice medicine” is still able to get medical licenses in all 50 states. Human physicians have a much harder time getting state licenses to practice medicine. What the hell are we allowing to happen?

Horrifying and unnerving. DHS sent an administrative subpoena to Google for this retiree's records and even sent armed agents out to his house for the "offense" of writing the following completely anodyne email to a federal prosecutor using an email address he found via Google.

This administration is the pettiest bunch of little fucking babies ever www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

To anyone tempted to celebrate Noem's big announcement that ICE will use body cams and that it will be expanded nationwide as funding is available... That's already been official ICE policy for over two years. www.ice.gov/news/release....

“All over my neighborhood we keep finding empty cars, the glass shattered into diamonds on the snow, the people missing. Tiny private automotive kristallnachts, everywhere and ongoing.”

We could also tax the billionaires so they pay their fair share

A fundamental problem with this country is that you have less responsibility, transparency, and duty as you gain more power when it should be the opposite. The Supreme Court gets to be very secretive for no good reason. Cops get a monopoly on violence and have near total immunity when they use it.

Trump reversed decades of national security objections to selling advanced AI chips to UAE. National security experts were alarmed. But there was a secret. Before the deal, UAE had sent $187M to the Trumps and $31M to the Witkoffs in secret payments. Mind blowing corruption.

The "violent criminal illegal alien" that agents were pursuing when they killed Alex Pretti has been in the U.S. for two decades. He had a single misdemeanor conviction for disorderly conduct (domestic assault) eight years ago that was expunged from his record. He did not have a deportation order.

Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017 and now wants $10 billion because a leaker pointed that out www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

I was there. They were indiscriminately firing multiple canisters into a huge peaceful crowd. Fucking cowards

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from yesterday’s Epstein files release. WHAT ELSE ARE THEY HIDING???

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing. She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

This man is extremely unwell. He is a delusional maniac who lives in a complete fantasy world, constantly posting fantastically insane nonsense like this he sees online from imbeciles who are even more deranged than he is. How the country and our leaders are numb to this is terrifying, seriously.

President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Random punishments for engaging in legal activity is just one more way that the fascist Trump regime is trying to destroy our lives. These abuses have to end

So ICE targeted him for execution. They were looking out for him to murder him.

Gonna go ahead and say this was a) inevitable and b) widely predicted, but the subhuman shitstains involved in all this c) don't care.

2022: Massachusetts enacts a 4% tax on millionaires. Critics predict catastrophe. 2026: MA sees 39%⬆️ in number of millionaires, $5B⬆️ in new revenue, & MA is bottom 10 in poverty. Taxing the wealthy creates more wealth. Taxing working people creates more poverty: www.qasimrashid.com/p/fixing-the...

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

Maybe we should stop treating pancreas cancer. You know, to just see what’s the incidence of hospitalization and death. We could do that with heart attacks or strokes too! That is how utterly unhinged this demonization of vaccines is.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea. It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road. Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

Charles Yang of Time for Three absolutely slaying me. I would lose my mind if I heard this live. Even crappy phone speakers made me scream and cry.

I wonder how many people need to get killed in the street by masked agents of the state before conservatives stop pretending that they’re being oppressed by the existence of HR departments bsky.app/profile/shar...

These are neighborhood watches. Not protests, not riots, but neighborhood watches. People taking care of neighbors. Watching for danger on their own streets. Keeping their children safe from ICE kidnappers. The new neighborhood watch.
