"Ronaldo Salgado, the eldest son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, said he recognized his dad's voice as he bled out after being shot by an immigration officer in Houston."

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Washington, D.C. has denied the Department of Homeland Security’s request to pause her order shutting down use of its modified SAVE system to certify registered voters’ citizenship status. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

And shared it. (Share it some more!)

BREAKING: A federal court denied the Trump administration's request to reopen access to a DHS database created to purge noncitizens from the rolls. The decision comes one day after another judge ordered DHS to give four red states access to the system again.

They called themselves the “German driving school for experts,” but prosecutors say the true purpose of their Telegram chats was to brag about the women they raped and share tips about how to drug them. (cont.) www.msn.com/en-ca/money/...?

Something ain’t right here. Why is Trump suddenly flying the old Air Force One instead of the Qatari jet taxpayers spent hundreds of millions retrofitting? When asked, he launched into a rambling, paranoid explanation. And keep an eye on Marco.

It’s been over 200 days since the DOJ was ordered to release ALL the Epstein Files. Enough waiting! Justice is long overdue and the victims deserve closure! #Blues #DOOR #Pinks

this is like the literal opposite of true. the most fruitful eras of the modern democratic party coincided with periods where the walls separating political radicals from the mainstream were way less solid

Fucking piece of shit. Yes, yes he is talking about each thing he says he isn't.

Must read thread

Ellison is politically aging like a very fine wine. Happy to have voted for him six times, first time he snashed a jr high classmate.

Which is another way of saying, no, this isn't some kind of "left fascism." It's some people who were once leftists beginning to give in to the undertow of conspiracism, a current that leads to fascism. @kathrynajoyce.bsky.social & I wrote about the tendency: inthesetimes.com/article/form...

Good god, over on X Ryan Grim is "breaking" the new that Platner's accuser texted him she needed a massage before telling him explicitly not to come over. I guess Grim thinks once a woman says she wants a massage men are entitled to attack? Grim once did some real reporting. Now he's poison.

Well, well, well. In 2025, Brendan Carr’s wife “joined billionaire Peter Thiel’s data analytics firm, Palantir Technologies, as its head of global policy.” 4/28/25 … 1/ www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

The thing I'm maddest about re:Platner are all the people who never served in the military who told me that it was perfectly normal for enlisted military people to get Nazi tattoos. NO IT FUCKING ISN'T.

Significant parts of the New Deal were poached by Dems from Wisconsin Progressives, Milwaukee Sewer Socialists, MN Farmer-Laborites, but do go off, David.

In his congressional testimony, OMB Director Russell Vought indicated that there were no plans to publish reports on what happened while DOGE was active. This is an affront to the transparency that is expected from a publicly accountable government.

Mamdani's government run grocery stores: "COMMUNISM!" Trump's government run gas stations: "FREEDOM FUEL!"

“A simple data-entry error, magnified and broadcast nationwide by a growing surveillance network operated through an opaque partnership between a private company and public agencies, led police to identify me as a car thief and set up a sting to take me down.”

The longer the blackwater rapist takes to drop out - the more I wonder if he's a psyop.

TRUMP: Would you go to Moscow? ZELENSKYY: It is difficult. There are lots of Ukrainian drones there. It's dangerous.

NEW: A federal appeals court just rejected Trump's bid to restore his name to the Kennedy Center as he challenges a lower court's order that stripped his name from the building.

".. The video was taken down within days. But the episode encapsulated the deepening disquiet within the ranks of the $330bn company, which has become .. one of the most controversial tech groups in the world." @financialtimes.com #$PLTR www.ft.com/content/2103...

The Department of Homeland Security has purchased two privately-run detention facilities from the for-profit prison company CoreCivic, the company announced Monday, in a move that may serve to shield the facilities from state oversight.

Just talked to Mitch via the board for 20 minutes

@dscc.bsky.social @electdemocrats.bsky.social What the hell are we doing here aside from alienating anybody that understands that the US has a mixed economy - Capitalism + Socialism - though right wing assholes want eveyone to forget that, so they can destroy it.

Fixed it: Billionaires apply for MORE corporate welfare. Oracle, the tenant of the Saline Twp data center project, wants 50% property tax cuts since its costs have skyrocketed from $7B to over $43B in under a year. They already pay no sales/use taxes. Twp residents get nothing for their trouble.

2026 is 2016 on steroids! I posted 1 complimentary thing about a Democratic woman who has the audacity to run against a Bernie Bro yesterday (and do well in a debate) & I was instantly spammed w abuse. I had to turn off comments. This shit is so tired. We’ve learned nothing in 10 years. FML 🤦🏻‍♀️

ICE fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo yesterday in Houston. We need an independent and transparent investigation. LULAC will be holding a press conference with Lorenzo’s son at 10am CT today. www.click2houston.com/news/local/2...

Republicans in 2028: “I opposed Trump’s policies but you couldn’t hear me because my mouth was full of Trump’s balls.”

Great Noah Smith piece taking on JD Vance’s new book. His focus is on Vance’s treatment of GDP, but as he notes, Vance’s bigger claims about social cohesion and how to restore it are also suspect. I have a few points to add here. Thread. 1/ www.noahpinion.blog/p/jd-vances-...

Christ on a fucking bike. Monster.

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

I wish just one NATO leader (or all of them) would say, "This is unacceptable. The US president has lost his mind. America come get your boy. He's broken and needs to be under a doctor's care back home." I wish someone would tell the damn truth about what's happening.

That was not cute. DO BETTER support survivors ffs doubling down on a mistake - joking about it is pretty much a fuck you to survivors.

@wajali.bsky.social Not for nothing, Elaine Chao is a Chinese shipping magnate - she's also a two time republican cabinet member. One could argue that she gained those positions because of her marriage to McConnell - but she has a name & a CV. Your dismissiveness was cringe.

If you are willing to go to the mat for a privileged Blackwater mercenary with a nazi tattoo and at the very, VERY least an incredibly questionable past, how can I trust that you’ll stand in solidarity with the vulnerable? Or even pretend to?

the Pfizer building is apparently having trouble remaining erect

National Security Journal: Ukraine just hit the ‘holy grail’ of Russian oil targets: Drones torched Putin’s biggest refinery deep in Siberia, 1,550 miles away. It seems Zelenskyy had some cards to play after all. 🔥 #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Some reporter just needs to ask Trump if McConnell is dead or on life support, because you know that drama queen is desperate to blurt it out.

"I think the focus of today should be to respond to the gravity of what so many of us have read, and I think that the only appropriate response is for the campaign to come to an end." Mayor Mamdani re Graham Platner

“He’s like just about every Democrat who ever runs for elective office” is not the answer, because among other reasons it absolves all the white online “leftists” who insisted Platner had to be the candidate even AFTER we found out he was a failson Blackwater merc with a fucking Nazi tattoo.

How women and children feel when they have been raped and the people they turn to, to do something about it, do nothing whilst the perpetrators laugh and carry on with their lives. That's what it's like watching Trump rape the US, and everyone else, and get away with it.
