lol there it is!

*Volunteered could also be “jumped at an opportunity to get out of ICE while still maintaining her federal job, only to go out of the frying pan into the fire.”

“.. Not a single Republican member of Congress showed up to the public forum .. on the violence inflicted by federal immigration agents, featuring testimony from the brothers of Renee Good ..” @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/post/206100/...

A fun tactic of extremists is to argue that they don't hate out-groups, they just blah blah blah. The pinnacle of this was the antebellum argument that enslaved people were happier and healthier enslaved, and that enslavers were motivated bu their charitable natures. It was BS then, and it's BS now.

I'm no schill lawyer for a currently corrupt DOJ, mind you, but this seems like too much

The attorney working for DOJ who asked to be held in contempt so she could get some sleep and said "this job sucks" was assigned **88** federal cases in less than a month, per a court docket search. www.fox9.com/news/federal...

This is what oligarchy looks like: Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, spent $290 million to elect Trump. Since Election Day, Musk became $548 billion richer while his companies (SpaceX & Tesla) paid $0 in federal income taxes last year after making $13.7 billion in profits.

Trump’s got an honest-to-God gold effigy of himself. Fifteen feet tall. The dude could declare “I am the antichrist” and it wouldn’t make any difference to his base.

Chuck, this is a joke. This ain't even fucking CLOSE.

LIVE LAUGH SCOOTER

No they're definitely not going to try anything in the midterms at all in those swing states with cities that have large black and brown populations. They're definitely not going to send ICE because the NG won't take those orders.

Why does every one of these "press conferences" end with cameras still rolling and reporters being aggressively shooed out of the room?

I have confirmed the gist of this report out of federal court in Minnesota today from a source familiar. If you have more information about the District of Minnesota—either the court or the U.S. Attorney's Office—and how they are handling all of this, please reach out. I am at crg.32 on Signal.

More specifically, he's lying that the SAVE Act is "voter ID." It creates a requirement at the time of *registration* to vote which is deliberately calculated to make traditional voter registration drives impossible. It is not what people usually think of and many states have, ID check at the polls.

Tell me you're incapable of human emotion without telling me you're incapable of human emotion

1) we are going to win, etc 2) this is a dangerous point where regimes like this decide they can’t rely on the legitimate courts and start setting up some parallel system of tribunals, etc.

Very exciting to see this candidate vaccine enter phase 1/2 studies. A pan-coronavirus vaccine aims to protect against all viruses in the coronavirus family. Trial is enrolling in Australia. Results are expected in 2028. www.ipd.uw.edu/2026/02/gbp5...

Alert to everyone working for this fascist administration: Quit your job.

Christ

Apparently morale at DOJ is so low that line attorneys are asking to be held in contempt so they can get some sleep yikes

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet. But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

And when, praytell, has the us border patrol ever been in a WAR ZONE

...fuckin'... why?

Yup; Lewandowski runs DHS for Noem, it’s widely known.

Uhhhhhhh maybe you folks just suck ass

of course it is

ice is killing americans and democrats are still voting for trump's nominees

Riffing off Brendan's method of juxtaposition in this awesome report, I'd like to offer another comparison: Food assistance cuts versus new funding for DHS in the "Big Beautiful Bill" Republicans cut food assistance by $187 billion while providing $191 billion in funding for DHS

"The law would have required them to disclose how their construction and operation might harm the environment, and it also typically required a written, public assessment of the possible consequences of a nuclear accident."

Instacart's "top snacks" list was definitely written by an ai.

“The exaggerated features and the darkened skin, she [Nekima Levy Armstrong] said, reminded her of when the bodies of enslaved people were left disfigured to deter uprisings on plantations, or during Jim Crow when racist propaganda would depict Black people as caricatures.”

Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine has had that white streak in her air since Steranko created her in 1967 which is the only, and I mean only, reason to think that the MCU didn't model the unpleasant, villainous, and at best semi-competent version played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus on Gabbard.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

This is absolutely insane: DHS claims the right to subpoena your emails and to send investigators to your house. In this case, because a retiree sent the mildest possible criticism to a prosecutor. No judges involved. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

an unholy alliance of authoritarians, corporations, and libertarians disemboweled the federal regulatory state I'm not sure they're going to enjoy what happens next

I'm seriously wondering if the purchase is to help engineer some sort of quashing of these investigations

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50 Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

Huh, wonder why they're "usually private"

Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov, who was arrested in France in August 2024 including on charges of complicity in the distribution of child exploitation material, speaks out.

New: Together with colleagues I’ve been testing Grok. The chatbot still produces sexualized images — even when told the subjects don’t consent. even when told the photos will be used for public humiliation. even when told the subjects are survivors of abuse. www.reuters.com/business/des...

"A blank check to Palantir" is not just a figure of speech either

Yes, search results are personalized, but it’s weird to read blurry amalgamations of your own writing as a summary. Unless everyone sees it, it’s personalized enclosure; sycophancy in the search bar. I want *shared* points of reference, not for Google to nod and say “yeah man, totally.”

President Donald Trump suggested the Kennedy Center's two-year renovation project could be dramatic — a demolition effort short of a complete teardown, but one so severe that it would leave the Washington building's steel "fully exposed." https://cnn.it/3ZeyyCS

But hey that took place in Detroit. This is Dearborn, a suburb of.... Detroit.

Palantir needs to be obliterated the same as ICE, and Peter Thiel can face the Truth and Reconciliation committee he’s spent his entire life trying to negate. If we want to fix our country, this is non-negotiable.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.
