Perplexity signs $750 million AI cloud deal with Microsoft, Bloomberg News reports reut.rs/4alwyPo

ICE and CBP love throwing tear gas cannisters, but it's almost always local, county, or state cops that do it in the "crowd control" way. Even if they aren't allowed to participate in "immigration enforcement", they show up to make sure no one can bother ICE as they do their "enforcement".

Venezuela approves bill to open oil sector to foreign investment after US pressure

This is good! 👇

A video that appears to show an ICE agent telling an individual, “You raise your voice, I erase your voice,” has sparked backlash.

I can’t wait to drink to that! 🤗

Trump’s goons went to Fulton County & executed a search warrant to seize ALL of the ORIGINAL 2020 ballots, voter rolls, and other documents. I’ve got the search warrant & the backstory showing Trump’s DOJ pulled an end-run after losing in other lawsuits to get this info. youtu.be/ZAhcLRtUdB8?...

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: Trump takes over the Kennedy Center, illegally slaps his name on it, and uses the venue to premiere a film about his wife—a film, directed by an accused rapist, that is a gift from the founder of Amazon, who wants to avoid regulation and is firing a fuckton of reporters.

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

While Republicans attack reproductive health care, Gov. @jbpritzker.bsky.social is protecting and bolstering access. The Dem Gov difference.

There is no reason any of these men need any of this gear. This entire situation is not only dangerous and illegal. It is absurd and stupid. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Anderson used her status as a Supreme Court-admitted attorney to advocate for the rights and economic mobility of Southern sharecroppers. She lobbied for the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act, which helped sharecroppers and tenant farmers obtain low-interest loans. It was signed into law in 1937. /end

Tell your friends in Virginia redistricting is going forward. This ruling is BS and will be appealed.

Trump is trying to raid the government’s coffers again - file a big lawsuit, force his own regime to “settle,” pocket the cash.

I have encountered very few trolls here Billie. It seems pretty safe to me.

I don’t know what moment Chuck Schumer is made for but it sure as shit isn’t this one.

BREAKING: New Jersey Governor Sherrill is creating an online portal for New Jersey residents to report encounters with ICE agents. She wants you to record as much as you can!

gofund.me/3ebaff78a Hey family, I’m going through a very tough time, sorry to ask but I don’t know what else to do. Thank you, and love you with all my heart. ❤️

Jesus fucking Christ I cannot with this guy

1/ This is happening quietly in plain sight. The EU signs a massive trade deal with India. Structural, not symbolic. Nearly a quarter of global GDP, built without the U.S. at the table. That’s not an accident. It’s a signal. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

I've only come across a handful of trolls, most likely because they were searching specific terms. Easy enough to block. And since you can filter who can respond you can filter them even more. Don't feel very seen, but I haven't tried very hard to be seen.

I haven’t worked this site too hard but for those that spend a lot of time here, I have a question: How are the algorithms behaving here? On Twitter they are a mess. Do people feel seen here? Have they encountered trolls? Just curious. 🤗

Liberals treat guns the same way conservatives treat abortions. They have them, they just don't talk about it.

2/ What changed isn’t sentiment. It’s structure. For decades, trade ran thru the U.S., which meant dollars accumulated overseas. Those dollars didn’t disappear. They were recycled back into U.S. Treasury bonds, quietly financing deficits and keeping borrowing costs lower than they otherwise would be

Eight paragraphs until the first, dim hint that this is batshit crazy? And dangerous?

Dear world: Remember that cruelty and murder of unwanted groups is a hallmark of Christian colonialism The USA has only had a short history of democracy + civil rights—since about 1964 What is happening now is totally in character Tip: NEVER vote in a right wing government NEVER!!!

There should be no private prisons anywhere. #DefundICE @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

Reporter: I spoke to the chief legal counsel who goes into this facility in Texas and provides oversight. In some of her latest reports, she noted worms and mold in food, lack of access to legal counsel, lack of child-friendly food, lack of sleep, and mental health deterioration.

Marco Rubio has many titles, except when it’s time to take accountability. He may be the Secretary of State, but Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with foreign leaders behind his back. When did the Senate confirm them as our representatives on the world stage?

Trump’s deployment of federal troops has cost taxpayers nearly $500 million so far — and could surpass $1 billion for the rest of the year. That’s after slashing SNAP and Medicaid, letting ACA subsidies expire, and gutting countless other federal programs. Priorities.

People who begin by shooting animals they find unpleasant or not worthy of living often turn out to be serial killers. Remember that when you think about Kristi Noem.

If you are a person who works in social media, and your job requires you to manage an account on Twitter/X, please ask your boss, in writing, to verify that you are required as a responsibility of your position to be on a platform that knowingly creates and monetizes child sexual abuse material …

Your gentle reminder that grabber Trump is explicitly named as a rapist in the Epstein files.

ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.

When racists killed Mickey Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman in 1964, they burned their station wagon but left it just off a road where it was easily found. When racists killed Viola Liuzzo, they advertised her shot-up car for sale, promoting it as a possible tourist attraction.

The Department of Justice has demanded voter files from nearly every state and is suing those that refuse — despite states’ authority over voter rolls and elections. Here's what you need to know:

Minnesota will be under terrorist siege until ICE leaves. People have a right to defend themselves from this political assault.

Frey: "In Mpls, we heard them say they'll end this siege when we hand over voter rolls. The DOJ is being used as a weapon. They're investigating me and several other local elected officials not because we've done something wrong because we speak on behalf of our constituents.

the primary sites of child sexual abuse are the family and the church, the two cultural pillars of conservatism "the average child sexual predator’s profile is: married, male, white, heterosexual, religious, surrounded by friends and family, and a parent." rlstollar.com/2025/08/29/w...

BREAKING: A federal judge ordered former Mayor Emanuel to testify about allegations that a “code of silence” among CPD officers led to a botched 2018 raid of a Back of the Yards apartment that violated the civil rights of a family with 4 children — ages 4, 8, 11 and 13. @wttw.bsky.social
