Gregory Bovino, leader of Trump’s LA and Chicago raids, personally testified that he saw a protestor strike a Border Patrol agent. The jury did not believe him and the protestor was acquitted. The Trump admin is losing these cases left and right. Their credibility with jurors is virtually nil.

ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?

Stand by this: www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Faceless government goon arrests public official for refusing to hand over a vulnerable person without a warrant. Guess the country.

This is what fascism looks like - using a conspiracy theory about a dehumanized outgroup as a pretext for seizing political power and wielding arbitrary authority. What you read about in the history books is happening right here, right now.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

Honestly might be the most nakedly anti-democratic move to invalidate a free and fair election in NC since the Wilmington Race Massacre of 1898

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy on Mahmoud Khalil.

kind of the bare minimum to stand up for a colleague when they're being verbally bullied but hell i'll take it

“the language House Republicans inserted in their measure on Tuesday declared that, ‘Each day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day’ for the purposes of the emergency that Mr. Trump declared on Feb. 1.” wut?

This is like Kendrick and Drake if both of them were Drake.

Breaking from me and @mjsdc.bsky.social : Newly installed AG Pam Bondi sent out more than a dozen memos in a 15 minute period on Wednesday. One of them told staffers to come up with "proposals for criminal investigations" of large companies that have DEIA initiatives. slate.com/news-and-pol...

"It shouldn't be worthy of the attention it's getting. It should be standard practice," Sibley said. "I thought we had an agreement on this s--t 80 years ago." You and me both my dude www.chron.com/news/houston...

People don’t actually want to Do Their Own Research, what they want is some entity that they consider credible to tell them what to think. We know this because this is what Doing Your Own Research actually translates to for most of the people that do it.

Gentleman! You can’t fight here, this is the military bowl!

A couple people are like “she’s actually barely lost any net worth” and that’s kind of the point: you can do an incredible amount of stuff and give away billions of dollars and not even notice it and 95% of rich people won’t even do that because they’re nihilist assholes

If you don’t know what this case is: Woman gets restraining order against violent ex. He violates it. She calls cops. They don’t come by. Repeat several times. Eventually, he murders her and daughters. Family sues cops, said had obligation to respond and failed. SCOTUS? “Nah, no obligation.”

whether you think it’s fascism or “competitive authoritarianism” or whatever, this era will be characterized by Trump using state power to lean on his private sector enemies, and most of them will capitulate.

One way you know "RFK Jr. is a good dude who just wants people to exercise and eat nutritious food" is bullshit is that Michelle Obama quite famously encouraged people to exercise and eat nutritious food and was quite famously relentlessly attacked for it by many of the same people who love RFK Jr.

It's rare you get such a clear illustration of whose lives have value in America and whose don't

This is the agency Elon Musk and his billionaire buddies want to kill.

it’s happening! #bringbackmids www.9news.com/mobile/artic...

every once in awhile I remember that the NC Supreme Court struck down their state leg gerrymander, and then the state GOP drafted another extremely gerrymandered map but one that kept a few key Dems safe, Dems signed on, and it killed further legislation around the issue.

oh nice just the unelected President’s right hand man openly saying they’re going to execute a former military political dissident on made up charges of treason, very cool country we got now

Best case scenario here is probably that Mexico and Canada announce some policy change or initiative or plan and Trump struts around saying he has won and we don’t hear about it again.

All their accusations about Blue Sky being an "echo chamber" are confessions distracting from the truth. Twitter is the echo chamber, by design, and they're mad as hell we're not forced to listen to it anymore: www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-...
