ICE has threatened a “sh*t show” in Broadview today, per a village statement. “ICE is seeking to intimidate the Village of Broadview because we dared exercise our 1st Amendment constitutional rights calling for an end to their war on Broadview. We will not be intimidated. We are Broadview strong.”

Today’s shameful shadow docket decision from the Supreme Court—allowing Trump to unilaterally cancel $4 billion in aid—is not behavior that any healthy democracy tolerates of its judiciary. It is a sign of constitutional rot that precedes the rule of law’s collapse. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Maybe that's because no one realistically fears conservative attorneys general will go after sites that ally with conservatives. Maybe that's why other sites, like Bluesky, *have* decided to comply. These are arbitrary laws that will be arbitrarily enforced — not just against porn, but politics.

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders. I spoke to multiple witnesses—including a local priest whose church is a sanctuary for undocumented people: www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...

Indeed. At basically any point between the end of the Adams Administration and now, this would have been widely understood to be an impeachable offense.

“To say the military leadership is anxious would be an understatement,” one defense official told The Intercept.

A new senate report is full of *shocking* details about DOGE activities inside the federal government. Including, unfortunately, the disturbing access that DOGE affiliates had to our SSNs: "One whistleblower noted the possibility that the agency may need to re-issue SSNs to all who possess one."

If they wanted Americans to react strongly to people getting shot, these Nazis shouldn't have let the status quo become children getting shot every week in schools and churches.

I want to remind everyone that ICE has been grabbing -legal residents -people in asylum proceedings -non-white U.S. citizens -visa holders who are not violating the terms of their visas Do we know how many of them were at this FL concentration camp? No. Do we know where they are now? Also no.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

It's impossible to overstate how problematic it is for the White House to demand payouts or company stakes in the course of approving deals, hand-selecting acquirers, demanding corporate compliance or anything else.

like i was saying

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

OH MY FUCKING GOD 😫

In dissent as to the stay, Justice Kagan — joined by Justices Sotomayor and Jackson — lays out the lawlessness of the majority plainly. "Our emergency docket should never be used, as it has been this year, to permit what our own precedent bars." Order/dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

EPA has ordered scientists in its Office of Water to immediately pause almost all research & stop publishing studies. Researchers were told that, unless scientific journals had already returned proofs, studies will be subject to an additional EPA review. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

The H1-B visa thing is, like everything else in the Trump administration, set up to carve up exceptions for friends and punish enemies. It’s the authoritarian thru-line that stitches everything together.

Can large language models stand in for human participants? Many social scientists seem to think so, and are already using "silicon samples" in research. One problem: depending on the analytic decisions made, you can basically get these samples to show any effect you want. THREAD 🧵

When your anti-vax Health Secretary stacks the vaccine committee: "Some members seemed confused about the data they were being presented. After their vote on the program that provides free vaccines for children, some members asked what they just voted on." wapo.st/3K9OBNV

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them. They want us all eradicated.

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

getting my shit together to form a popular front with people who annoy me

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

You guys wanna see the best YouTube comment I’ve ever seen?

a big reason companies are caving this hard is that they're banking on hunkering down for the next 3.5 years and then coasting by when the dust settles Democrats need to make it very clear that there will be future consequences for defecting in this prisoner's dilemma

Ah yes, this is important background info. Sinclair is Bond-level supervillainry and more people need to be aware of it.

it is really important for news outlets to be clear (unlike the nyt here) that Kimmel was suspended not because of some grassroots backlash but because ABC caved to threats from the head of the FCC

Over the weekend, the world's richest man appeared on screens in central London to call for a race war and for the UK government to be overthrown. No arrests were made in connection with that communication.

They used tear gas on him, and wouldn't let him shower. For three days. That stuff gets in every pore. Your skin burns for days, even after a shower. This is torture.

Please chill, "didn't you know ICE was already doing this?" peanut gallery. Chicago has had very low arrest numbers. We've been in a lull since their attempts at immigration court in June. In the last week and a half, they've kidnapped hundreds of people. That we know about.

you don’t understand bro, if we didn’t lie, no one would buy our product 😩

While it’s ironic to hear a libertarian talk about attacking free speech and civil liberties, that has become all too common. VP Vance (who chided all of Europe over free speech in February) said, “When you see someone celebrating Charlie’s murder, call them out." trib.al/MZwoq5b

It still feels like watching a wresting match where the heel is grandstanding and antagonizing the audience and you’d expect his opponent to get off the ground and sucker punch him but instead he gets up and starts agreeing with the heel

⚠️ Gaza City is reportedly under relentless attack tonight. It’s challenging to find news from people on the ground because Israel has assassinated most of the journalists.

SO sorry about the treatment your specialists and engineers received at the hands of our secret police goon squad. That's normally something we reserve for a different race of people who we like even less, hope you understand. Please come back

It’s so important to not let yourself become bitter or disheartened or cynical. To not let the news of the world break your spirit. Because I’m already doing that. It’s my thing. Find your own, stop copying me.

Saying Black women are worthless pieces of shit who steal white men’s jobs, but with civility.

No they don't! That's not true! No company, employer or social media network cares FUCKALL about our legally protected speech rights they can do whatever they WANT to us for ANY reason even if, ESPECIALLY if, that action violates their own internal policies and the law CUZ CAPITALISM FUCKIN SUCKS

Thinking a lot this morning about how the dispersed nature of these kidnappings over such a broad area makes it so easy for them to avoid making bigger waves. The surface can appear totally calm while they're grabbing neighbors, and most people have no idea until/unless something flashy happens

"Republicans are so idiotic and hate trans people so much that they're defunding education for blind and deaf children" would be a slam dunk line for any Democrat to run with if any of them had the courage of a squonk

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either
