There was never ANY doubt that these "detention centers" were anything but another grift for yam tits and his pals. $4,384,380,000 (yes, BILLION) a year, of OUR TAX $, are going into the pockets of these private prison owners. Not healthcare. Not housing. Not education. NOT DEPORTATION. Prisons.

Jack Shanahan, retired US Air Force General and first Director of the Department of Defense Joint Artificial Intelligence Center:

It’s looking more and more like Trump squeezing Anthropic was just in service of the other tech oligarchs Sam Altman and Elon Musk

Federal law says you MUST carry your immigration documents at all times. So what happens when ICE takes them and won't give them back? You're trapped. Legally required to carry papers that the government is holding hostage. This is happening right now in Minnesota, and it's spreading.

The government illegally took your money. They won’t give it back.

The federal government stopped New Mexico in 2019 from continuing to investigate Jeffrey Epstein and his Zorro Ranch. Today, its legislators and its Attorney General are seeking the truth.

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes. Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time. What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

The United States and Israel launched a joint strike against Iran, an act of war without Congressional approval. This is a crime against the American people. Trump is working with a genocidal regime to start another bloody war in the Middle East. Congress must vote to block further strikes now

Welp

Just woke up to this. 🚨 US and Israel attack Iran.

shorter Anthropic: lol fuck you, you’re way out over your skis and we’re going to beat your asses in court

Anthropic responds to Hegseth. www.anthropic.com/news/stateme...

Exactly.

Anthropic makes it clear that yes, the Trump & Hegseth tantrum is because they’re mad they wouldn’t do mass surveillance of Americans or fully autonomous killer robots. www.anthropic.com/news/stateme...

70% - Trump isn't honest or trustworthy 56% - Trump is not mentally sharp enough 56% - Trump is not committed to our rights 62% - Trump's using the presidency to enrich himself (ht: @mmpadellan.bsky.social)

A goodbye note to co-workers from veteran CBS News producer Mary Walsh: "We've been told to aim our reporting at a particular part of the political spectrum. Honestly, I don't know how to do that." (via @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social) #$PSKY #$WBD

Republican senators are putting pressure on Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Justice Department to release ALL files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that mention Trump’s name, warning the issue won’t go away until there is full transparency.

The law of unintended consequences. We will see how long this policy lasts after Wall Street starts calling Trump.

LEMON NATION, we just won 4 NAACP Image Awards! Thank you for supporting independent journalism. The best has yet to come 🤝🏾🍋

NEW: Georgia removed nearly 471,000 voters from its rolls last summer — roughly 6% of all the state’s registered voters. Now voting rights groups are suing, arguing the state is illegally hiding records about how the purge was carried out.

Pay attention! They now control most of the media we see, and they control you by watching!

This afternoon the president is crashing out over the Supreme Court's tariff ruling and Anthropic while the defense secretary feuds with universities and the scouts... glad everyone involved in the potentially imminent war with Iran is in a good mindset.

First of all -- fuck you, Pete. None of this is happening in the faculty lounges of your fever dreams. Second, I've taught military personnel in our PhD programs and if you think slamming the door to Harvard and Princeton in their faces is "having their back" you're even dumber than you sound.

If President Trump tries to take control of the midterm elections by executive order, he'll be defying the Constitution in an attempt to trample the authority of Congress and the states and the rights of voters. The time to draw a line is now, says @walterolson.bsky.social. buff.ly/ok13K53

🚨 TEXAS Voter intimidation alert This mailer is wild! They’re telling voters their participation is being “audited” and flagged as “INCONSISTENT.” Yes, voting history is public. But dressing it up like a surveillance report and sending it to people’s homes is straight-up pressure politics.

Is the Trump administration punishing Anthropic because it’s refusing to help mass surveil American communities or build killer robots? The American people deserve to know what Trump officials are planning at the Pentagon. Secretary Pete Hegseth must testify.

Who else agrees?

rapid onset dark ages

This is negligent homicide. We demand justice for Shah Alam and his family. He was nearly blind, and they left him five miles from his home, forced to try to walk home alone in the dark and the freezing cold.

Some scary shit going down at the Pentagon with Hegseth

Rep. Ro Khanna: "A new precedent has been set in America today." "Before this we had the 'Trump Rule.' … He said presidents don't have to testify. Now we have the 'Clinton Rule,' which is that presidents and their families have to testify when Congress issues a subpoena."

Congratulations. You harassed a married staffer until she submitted to your perversions leading to her suicide and still kept your job because the Republican Party stands for nothing except the acquisition of power. Congrats, Tony. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Anyone walking around constantly shouting that they’re “FULLY EXONERATED” has clearly done something really, really bad.

The Guardian obtained the missing 302s. This story destroys the DOJ's excuse that they withheld the last three interviews because they were duplicative. The accuser covered different ground in different interviews.

Rep. Jamie Raskin has opened an investigation into potential conflicts of interest between Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and his former firm, Cantor Fitzgerald — following the Supreme Court's ruling Trump's emergency tariffs illegal. www.notus.org/congress/jam...

1 page of “reasoning” and 16 pages of illegal rules and regulations, rewriting election laws.

it seems clear the intent is to not recognize the validity of any election that they don't like the result of if it does not comply with these rules, and ignore any court order telling them they can't do it (or they make sure they get the Supreme Court votes).

🚨BREAKING: Democracy Docket has obtained a draft of the executive order being circulated with the White House that would allow Trump to take unprecedented control over voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Don’t buy it. The SAVE Act was never just about voter ID. It’s about pressure, who gets flagged, who gets pushed off the rolls, and who has to jump through hoops to prove they belong in this democracy. 📌 Trump’s putting the heat on Republicans to pass it. #SaveActTaxesYourVote

Two prominent left-leaning attorneys have launched bids to unseat sitting members of the Georgia Supreme Court — arguing the state's highest bench must do more to safeguard constitutional rights and remain independent from political influence.

LANDERS: “Are you considering a national emergency around the midterm elections?” TRUMP: “Who told you that?” LANDERS: “There’s been reporting that there’s an executive order.” TRUMP: “I’ve never heard about it.” 🤷🏼 (Just like he never heard about Project 2025, etc… 🤥)

A lot of obvious stuff in this poll (people want Dems to act with more conviction and stop tearing their ACLs trying to reach across the aisle), but the thing I learned is that Republicans are viewed as the elitist ones now! Run with that! Usain Bolt with that shit!

Radiohead to Trump: “Take it down… Go fuck yourselves.” 🎵

Good news today in Minnesota. From school meals, to paid family leave, and a nation-leading child tax credit, we’ve proven we can invest to make Minnesota the best place to raise a family while keeping our state‘s finances strong. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

New: As David Ellison prepares to take control of CNN, legendary CBS News producer Mary Walsh, who is exiting, sent a goodbye note to colleagues. In the note, Walsh writes, "We’ve been told to aim our reporting at a particular part of the political spectrum. Honestly, I don’t know how to do that."

Seems like more people should be aware Alex Acosta, who has “no remorse” about giving Epstein a sweetheart deal— and was rewarded with a Trump cabinet position… is now on the board of Newsmax🤔

This isn’t a deferral, it’s a ransom note. The Trump Administration is using kids as pawns in their campaign of retribution against our state. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Breaking: House Oversight Democrats have the votes to force Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to testify before their panel about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, according to Rep. Ro Khanna.

Has any victim made accusations? Has there been any settlement or lawsuit? Is there any evidence of SA or are there just pictures of him with JE? Nobody has been dragged more than the Clinton's. The Rs would surely have brought it up long ago if there was any "there there".
