Why Colbert's cancellation marks a dangerous new stage for the culture at large

Ge plans to. Republicans just gave ICE $170B. They're acting as secret police in violation of the Constitution at his direction, and Republicans just gave them $170B to do it. Nobody is responding to the threat this poses.

Add your name to the petition demanding Congress pass legislation requiring all immigration agents to clearly display their agency and name or badge number—just like other local law enforcement are required to do. sign.moveon.org/petitions/un...

People build lives and families, and they suffer to build them, and people who build nothing steal them because theft is the other choice. And the whole idea of democracy is to arrest that--to save what people build because it's theirs and because it's the only human good. That's it. The whole idea.

Make no mistake: Alligator Alcatraz IS a concentration camp, and they absolutely ARE planning genocide and ‘ethnic cleansing.’ As a white person, i don’t know what I can do to help, but if all I have is my voice, I will make sure it’s heard.

This is not normal

Exactly. Few know Collins’ MO better.

Good morning 🫡

Bartiromo: "We are waiting any moment now to get the jobs number for the month of June. The expectations call for the numbers to be up 95,000. Right now seeing the number -- actually, uh, showing a decline in jobs, uh, down 33,000, uh."

Among other things, I'm just so pissed that a country that once made winning WWII its whole personality is now building concentration camps

i'm reading this charles sumner speech from february 1866 and my dude is cooking

I got sidetracked for a bit. Trying to move everything here now.

i am not being pollyannish when i insist that the people who sign up do not sign up to advance a president’s domestic political agenda www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

The effort to amend the Constitution predates Trump’s second term but carries new weight as several members of the president’s inner circle have expressed support for a convention to limit federal government spending and power. (Published March 17)

“I think this says that they will not tolerate us being active participants in our democracy—they want an autocracy,” Emily Feiner told Mother Jones. Meet the 64-year-old retired social worker who went viral after being forcibly removed from her representative's town hall.

Things my family appreciated and valued as important educational resources when I was a kid: National parks PBS shows Art & science museums Public libraries Public schools Things my family now vote to defund and destroy: National parks PBS shows Art & science museums Public libraries Public schools

🔥 “There’s something wrong in this country… everything has gone up but wages… how many yachts and houses does one person need? — They want us to stay poor, stay hidden, and die silently.” 🇺🇸 #FightTheOligarchy H/T @violadavis.bsky.social

All of this on a weekday we’re in complete awe of you. You always rise to every call to action. You’re amazing, and words can’t express how much we love and appreciate you all.

The clash between Trump’s “determination to rule and his inability to govern has generated two opposing forces: a weaponized, illiberal state, and a smoldering political backlash," Jonathan Chait writes. "One of them will have to break."

Trump today claimed ‘they’ are talking to China… Someone forgot to tell China 👇🏽 “This tariff war was initiated by the United States. If they want to fight, we will fight to the end.”

BREAKING: Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he is cutting short his official trip to South Africa and returning home after a Russian strike on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv killed at least nine people and injured more than 70.

For decades the War Remains Museum in Ho Chi Minh City has shown only exhibits on US imperialism and atrocities. A new exhibit would have showcased the US-Vietnamese reconciliation process. But Trump shut down USAID and the US Institute of Peace, which created it. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/w...

i think it is bad that among the most influential people in government are the monomaniacal adherents of a millenarian tech cult

“A Servicemember on day two with a clearance would be fired—and potentially imprisoned—for what Hegseth did.” - Max Rose, VoteVets Senior Advisor But Pete Hegseth? Still SecDef. Still putting lives at risk. He’s unqualified. He’s dangerous. And he’s got to go. #Signalgate

Exactly. Trump is yelling about how the left thinks he innocent, etc. not the point. The point is Due Process. Just like the president got on his 34 ct felonies. others he sent to the same place. I don’t care if they’re horrid gang members, which we don’t really know as they didn’t get due process

DHL: "Effective Monday, April 21st, 2025, and until further notice, we will temporarily suspend the collection and shipping of business-to-consumer (B2C) shipments to private individuals in the United States where the declared customs value exceeds USD 800."

Elon Musk has cut somewhere between 0% and 3% of what he promised—and most of what was cut was not waste or fraud or abuse, but simply expenditures Mr. Musk did not personally favor for partisan reasons. DOGE is the biggest program failure in the history of American government.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

socialsecurityworks.org/2025/04/11/d.... the Trump administration is planning to declare legal migrants dead on the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File: This is an outrageous abuse of power. It will not only create extreme hardship, but kill people.

Eugenicists are so stupid.

John Roberts and the Supreme Court had a chance to take this position. Instead they said "Try your best <wink, wink>, and if it doesn't work, well...whaddya gonna do, eh? 🤷‍♂️". The Roberts Court is an active threat to the country.

🚨NEW: The NC Supreme Court's GOP majority will retroactively nullify 2,000 to 7,000 ballots from military and overseas voters unless they quickly prove their identity—but only those who voted in a few Democratic counties. Could overturn Justice Riggs' victory. appellate.nccourts.org/orders.php?t...

Jesus Christ..,. these people are totally out of control.

The President of the United States engaged in insider trading, and laughed about it. He is not exempt from the law. Where the fuck is Congress?

If I were Judge Xinis, I would order the government to produce, in her courtroom, officials who were in a position to answer her questions and to do so under oath. Letting DOJ continue to prevaricate and deflect responsibility in written submissions seems ... insufficient at this point.

This is such an important point that I've updated my chart, just for @jasonfurman.bsky.social
