A government of the pedos, by the pedos, and for the pedos.

Apparently there’s grocery inflation discourse again, but as I’ve been buying groceries for other families during this crisis, often under duress, it’s brought me out of my own optimized grocery spending habits, which rely heavily on Costco. And damn, there is a huge price to pay for being poor.

Shut down Dilley. www.thebulwark.com/p/kids-arent...

Let me just make a few little adjustments to that title… “How a scientist with a PhD in Geology and 25 years of experience is helping lead California’s earthquake work” Way to devalue my experience.

On the heels of this post last night, I wrote about using the term "concentration camp" and why it matters.

I say this 6-7 times a week.

a shame to let this @robgeorge.bsky.social post languish on another platform.

you know, it still seems like it should be an even bigger issue that the president has been sending armed forces to kidnap and assault people in an ethnic cleansing campaign, with a specific geographic focus on regions that didn't vote for him in the last election

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

Billionaires should be taxed out of existence because no one human being should possess the unilateral power to launch the kinds of environment-destroying and world-changing projects that billionaires can approve.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

To understand how horrible Pamela Jo Bondi is, remember she only has her current job as US Attorney General because she took a bribe from Donald Trump when she was Florida's Attorney General to drop an investigation into the obvious consumer fraud perpetrated by his scam called "Trump University."

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Prisons are for people who've been CONVICTED of crimes. Most people in these warehouses - without proper food or sanitation or worse - haven't even been CHARGED with crimes. And thousands are CHILDREN. This will be another of America's greatest shames.

He couldn’t even put humans in the White House.

They. Are. Concentration. Camps.

How about Dem leadership gives us one redacted name a day with an outline of their crimes.

And here we are, doing it again.

Concentration camps

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Reminder when you watch the Intuit Super Bowl ads, they have Super Bowl ad money because they are a successful rent seekers who have worked for decades to kill free, quality, public tax preparation services donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-death-...

Someone, please take away klanpa’s phone.

Innnnnnteresting.

WaPo actively trying to turn the lights out on democracy made me cancel. I don’t have to fund the fascist takeover.

I am a long-time supporter of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. @mikeymrff.bsky.social and his team do great work.

NBC is editing out JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. CBS and ABC paid millions in bogus settlements to fund Trump. CNN made Scott Jennings a rightwing star. The Washington Post just laid off 300 journalists. Support independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The man who told reporters it’s time to move on from the Epstein files won’t shut up about the 2020 election.

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

WHO THE FUCK COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING YOU ANTIVAX CONCENTRATION CAMP GHOULS did you know that Anne Frank died of typhus maybe don't have people in concentration camps to begin with

And unless it's a cost-free government ID, it's a POLL TAX. If you have to pay the government for a document that you must have to vote, that is a POLL TAX.

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

Concentration camp things happening at the concentration camps

Drumpf’s run as the anti-Midas hasn’t slowed one bit. Everything he touches turns to gold-colored crap. And, unlike the Midas of legend, he will never learn the error of his ways and repent.

This is the way.

The Start of the Steal

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

The very well-accepted term for "stripping the legal protections of a minority group and then sending a paramilitary force to carry them away" is "ethnic cleansing." They are planning to ethnically cleanse Springfield, Ohio.

I understand it's hard for some to use the term concentration camp, even for those horrified by what's happening. And there are settings (e.g., court) where it may not be helpful today. The key thing to realize is that there's an arc of how detention regimes tend to go, and we're recognizably on it.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The Fulton County search warrant & its implications for the 2026 & future elections is critically important news & not getting the coverage it merits. Read my most recent piece to get the download & understand why this is such a significant development. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

No one should want a concentration camp in their city.

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

1/ Today you might be expecting the weekly Dose on flu, the U.S. pulling out of the WHO, or other health headlines. I’ll get back there soon. But after this weekend, those topics felt small and I needed to pause. Because I don’t know about you, but my weekend was full of really hard juxtapositions🧵

As the sequel to Human Centipede, Melania really holds true to the franchise.
