I live in Baltimore. From our roof deck, I can see our current ICE facility/concentration camp AND the harbor where our anthem was written. Anything can happen.

It should be pointed out over and over that besides Bari Weiss being completely obsessed with turning CBS into a television version of her anti-woke, pro-Israel blog, she is also extremely incompetent at the nuts and bolts of running a network. www.semafor.com/article/05/1...

Pope Leo says God rejects prayers of leaders who wage wars reut.rs/4rZIThC

No ICE. No wars. No Kings.

Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"

It’s very telling that Ghislaine Maxwell was happy to sit down with Trump’s former criminal defense attorney Todd Blanche for 2 days & answer his pathetic questions in exchange for special treatment, but she will refuse to answer all questions from anyone else including Congress.

Every time a news item identifies him as "Todd Blanche, Deputy Attorney General", it's missing essential context if it does not continue the description with ". . . and formerly Donald Trump's personal criminal defense attorney"

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

Odd how when people like Bari Weiss go on about 'merit-based hiring', what they mean is hiring nice-looking white boys from elite schools regardless of their experience. Here's CBS's new Ukraine correspondent. Graduated college less than a year ago. Yale Rugby. Only job: 7 months freelancing. 1/

Jack Smith: "I do not understand why you would mass pardon people who assaulted police officers. I don't get it. I never will."

A joke for the history buffs: Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“

“Coverups are difficult in free societies. They are routine for authoritarian governments. The Epstein coverup will be an indicator of how far we are down the road to authoritarianism. The success of such a coverup would take us much further down that road.” www.thebulwark.com/p/why-the-ep...

Great synchronicity for Jamelle's post coming out yesterday just before Sam Altman's idiocy on Fallon later that night

Respectfully @RepDonBacon, nope. It won’t be Trump’s legacy. It will be the Republican Party’s legacy.

Correct. He, and they, can't help themselves.

How do you watch that happen in front of you and not want to help the screaming baby or the seizing man. How do you just stand there and tell people trying to help to back up? It takes a level of inhumanity I can't comprehend. Non person stuff. Literally not a human being.

A coalition that ranges from democratic socialists to neoconservatives, including a lot of energized liberals in between, is large and formidable. A big pro-democracy tent. A united front. Any internal disagreements can be hashed out once the authoritarian emergency is over. This really can work.

BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty. “They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”

NCGOP spokesman appears to be threatening @propublica.org's @dougbockclark.bsky.social with retaliation by the Trump administration for reporting on a state Supreme Court justice www.propublica.org/article/paul...

Wow. "Months after law firms made deals with President Trump to ward off punitive executive orders, the ethics committee of the District of Columbia Bar is warning that such arrangements may require firms to drop or obtain waivers from all clients who have interests at odds with the government."

One thing I like about AI is how I’ll search for “ESPN” and then the browser will be like “AI Powered Search found you the website for ESPN” and I can marvel at the wonders of Tomorrowland

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it. His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

Portland shows how to ruin the optics of fascism.

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

the person behind this unhinged, anti-factual editorial is set to decide coverage at one of the nation’s major news networks

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!) Receipts: zeteo.com/p/charlie-ki...

When even Rand Paul thinks you’re despicable.

It’s absolutely wild that the U.S. government straight up murdered a boat of people who presented no threat and were charged with no crime in international waters yesterday and the national media doesn’t seem to be up in arms about that.

The US Administration is now deleting its internal communications, in brazen violation of the Federal Records Act, in order to conceal its other illegal acts. Those entrusted to enforce our Congress’s laws sit, simply watching this happen, flaccid and impotent.

Fuck him. He’s not a king. No Kings in America. And we don’t put our military on our streets. Not in this country. Oh, and…he’s lying - “African American ladies are saying please President Trump, come to Chicago.” Bullshit. He lies as he breathes.

Trump pardoned Jared Wise, a January 6th rioter who repeatedly urged the mob to “kill” police officers there. He called the cops Nazis and “the Gestapo” The same Jared Wise currently serves as a senior adviser in Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice.

US funded anti-government far right propaganda networks & botnets have increased activity targeting Mexico, flooding social media with disinformation that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and her government are operating alongside the cartels. This is a US destabilization op.

Most Americans really have no clue how far the US is being left behind.

It’s mind-blowing to me that there’s not a single corporate news outlet with an update about Dems walking out of a hearing over republicans not following the rules to advance the judicial nomination of a guy who told the courts to fuck off. Nothing on WaPo or NYT yet. Just wild.

When the victims are missing from the Epstein conversation, what are you really talking about?

Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated). It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings. It has written majority opinions in only 3. Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*
