Drug dealers defend selling drugs. The Sacklers didn’t think they did anything wrong either

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

You should probably move to Portland with two friends, work together in a skyscraper overlooking the volcanoes, and have a delicious $13 lunch at the food cart pod every day while you disrupt Salesforce or whatever

some YouTube asshole lied about Somalians stealing daycare subsides. so Trump is stealing healthcare from the entire state

I mean, yes, in the same way you fear a mentally unwell person who thinks he’s seeing “witches” and has a gun, it’s not a thing u need to be proud of

Every single element of life is either more deadly, more expensive or more inconvenient (often all three) today than it’s been in decades & it’s purely because our robber baron overlords decided to dedicate the entirety of the US apparatus to doing barbaric & culturally suicidal white nationalism

Alysa Liu. A proud product of Oakland.

Why would anyone with integrity take this bootlicking job?

Trump plans to send $10 billion in funds that Congress hasn’t appropriated from the US Treasury to an organization that he will continue to chair personally even after he is out of office. This is looting.

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

Here it is, your moment of zen.

This is so gross. Any reporter will tell you there's absolutely no reason to quote someone like this, and no professional norm to do so. If anything, you're creating more work for yourself and the reader

Seriously, this hyper concentration of wealth is one of the top problems facing the country -- the maldistribution is worse than it was before the Great Depression, and their political influence is even greater than it was then thanks to Citizens United etc.

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

A kindred spirit of @jonwalkerpdx.bsky.social lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/commun...

The number of ways this administration is causing unnecessary suffering is astounding

RFK Jr/MAHA world say they're not reducing access to vaccines for anyone who wants them, only giving people "choice" to opt out. But by refusing to even review new vaccines, yes, they are absolutely blocking those who want a new immunization from ever having access to it.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

I have never in my life shown ID to get on a train

That halftime show is what people mean when they say "joy is an act of resistance."

In case anyone forgot or didn't understand the reference www.wgbh.org/news/2017-10...

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state. Tell them it will find your dog.

Ramos' parents, originally from Ecuador, were set for their asylum hearing in late Feb. DHS abruptly moved it up to THIS MORNING. They are not in the U.S. illegally and have no criminal record. DHS is simply trying to end their asylum claims.

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

New, from me: Trump finalized his Schedule F policy, allowing him to remove job protections from career civil servants. The new rule is dishonest and unmoored from reality in its effort to formalize the politicization of the federal government 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/trumps-sch...

So like, can Mackenzie Scott just hire all the laid off Washington Post reporters and start "The New Washington Post"? And then poach all the reporters still at the old WP???

imagine having one of the best tech reporters of all time on your staff and then choosing to lay them off

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

Sight in San Francisco (from a friend)

This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

Looking at the list of 19 new CBS News commentators, the median number of times they appear in the searchable Epstein database is 2 and the mean is 100

“You cannot be neutral about the dismantling of our democracy and still expect to be protected by it,” Fort told CJR days before her arrest. “If the Constitution fails to protect US citizens, it will fail to protect the media, the free press." www.cjr.org/news/astonis...

The Senate’s top Democratic appropriator Patty Murray faults DHS for “an execution” in Minnesota, and adds: “The Republican Congress must join us to end this. Enough.”

218 people voted to fund the child kidnapping ring and masked death squads.

Even if you think ICE’s atrocities are just America doing America things why would you want to shut down other people’s outrage about it? Is making sure everyone knows America has always sucked really more important than making America suck a little less?

Liam is one of four Columbia Heights, MN school district students who have been taken by ICE in the last two weeks, the school district said. Liam's teacher: “He is so kind and loving, and his classmates miss him. He ... just brightens the room. All I want is for him to be back here and safe.”

kidnapping a 5 year old to bait his father and then shipping them thousands of miles away should put you in prison, yes, but it should also cause every friend and family member you have ever had to permanently reject you in disgrace, and if they don’t, they share your shame

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

The labor share of GDP is lower today than it has been at any time since records began being kept in 1947. The share of the nation’s income going to workers has fallen 16 points in that 78-year stretch. The share going to capital has risen by the same amount. prospect.org/2026/01/19/a...

Since his socialist ideology was written out of the history books.. In his own words: "If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell." Happy MLK Day.

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.

Sometimes they just tell us they are weaponizing the criminal justice system to push their political agenda.

"Stop calling murderers murderers otherwise they'll murder more people." When they're talking about security forces within a state, how can any sane person not recognize that the US is no longer a democracy?
