If we're finally going to crack down about lying to Congress under oath, I think there are several Cabinet members and a few Supreme Court justices whose testimonies might need revisiting.

p.p.s. It is important to connect Hegseth et al's effort to rewrite history to erase the genocide of Native Americans to the Trump Administration's recent attack on the Smithsonian, including the National Museum of the American Indian nativenewsonline.net/currents/nat...

p.s. My essay on the Wounded Knee massacre can be found here (open access!): www.jstor.org/stable/10.25...

Quinnipiac in recent poll asked: Do you think that the way people talk about politics these days is contributing to violence in the United States, or don't you think so? 82% of voters agreed with this including majority of Dems, Independents, and GOP. I said basically this and got fired.

I’ve gotten requests for free work “for exposure” my whole life, once from a literal billionaire. Luckily less so in recent decades. But using the “for exposure” excuse with TAYLOR SWIFT? Truly warped. There’s a whole class of business shitheads who really think no artist *deserves* to be paid.

Yeah he is not insane a bit.

This. This again and again.

Their place is that they were a bunch of asshats who murdered people. And this trumped up jagoff is drunk enough to apply a veneer of legitimacy to it.

There are a few books that cause the scales to fall instantly from your eyes while you're reading, "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" is one of those books.

/5 Of course, the case isn’t being brought with an expectation of winning. It’s illegitimately brought to punish an enemy by a dishonest totalitarian regime. The process is the punishment.

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this. Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

From Teen Vogue, which is doing some of the best journalism about the extremist cult now in charge of the U.S. government: www.teenvogue.com/st... We need to assume that every masked person kidnapping people off the street is a criminal, whether employed by the Trump regime or not.

Tomorrow Hegseth is gathering the top military commanders following today's announcement labeling left organizations as terrorists www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

As far as I know, even the Supreme Court’s harshest critics have never accused it of RICO violations

He talks about moving a World Cup game out of Chicago because it has high crime, which is interesting because there is no game slated for Chicago. But Dallas has a World Cup game, and Dallas has a higher violent crime rate than Chicago, and Dallas has a Republican mayor … oh, OK, I see it now.

this is a signed executive order that directly violates a law passed by congress & signed into law!

What counts as “anti-fascist” is incredibly broad: basically opposition to much of the MAGA worldview - “anti-capitalism and anti-Christianity” www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

This is Russia, Hungary or Turkey: use threats of terror to go after organizations including NGOs and “funders.” Use IRS to threaten nonprofit status. Educational institutions specifically mentioned. Silence dissent in the name of defending American values.

As per usual: no mention of political violence against Democrats. The armed man near Kavanaugh’s house who turned himself in becomes an “assassination attempt” while the actual assassination of Melissa Hortman not mentioned. Attacks on ICE facilities are political violence but not attacks on CDC.

This. This is the whole point, just like tariffs. No one man should have control over any of it. If he does, we do not have a functioning Democracy. The only thing left is a payoff and all we have a state run by Henry VIII's shriveled dick and boily legs. Fucking Wolf Hall.

This EO is egregiously illegal bull shit, but will be used in an attempt to shut down donations to the Democratic party. Triple C: Chaos, Chilling, Cruelty.

Once again, this is entirely about dismantling liberal civil society orgs. bsky.app/profile/esqu...

Do most Americans realize this is total bullshit? He is just making stuff up.

We’re 6 days out from a government shutdown and the GOP has canceled votes, is refusing to negotiate, and is planning mass firings. Here’s what you need to know ⬇️

Reid Hoffman, the billionaire founder of LinkedIn, funded E. Jean Carroll's litigation against Trump.

Darth, the Herdling doc that I shot back in February and edited for like 5 weeks is finally out!! I’m happy with how it turned out, and I think you’d enjoy seeing how the team made the calicorns (and appreciate them petting and walking with alpacas) bsky.app/profile/pani...

No foreign fans will come for the World Cup or the Olympics and you gotta think that's part of Trump and Miller's plan to fuck Los Angeles. As an Angeleno, I'm fine with that shit not coming here but I know businesses have been banking on it.

The Trump regime is scrambling, attempting to do everything they can to cover up Epstein's files. www.aol.com/articles/tru...

I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything as much as ICE loves violently attacking women.

The National Archives released the military records of Mikkie Sherrill, then admitted they shouldn't have. The documents appear to contain personal information like her SSN number, per ABC: abc7ny.com/post/calls-i...

Trump is absolutely cratering in new Quinnipiac poll: Overall approval: 38-54 Approval on economy: 39-56 Approval on trade: 39-54 On National Guard into cities: 42-55 On immigration, his "best" issue: 41-55 Trump is weak, unpopular, and failing. Treat him that way:

“Free your mind and your ass will follow”. #Funk at its best here. Eddie Hazel kills it! #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

More reason to pass my bill requiring a security audit of the data systems infiltrated by the DOGE boys. What data did they access? What data did they take? What back doors did they leave?

This is how elections in competitive autocracies work. Your vote can still lead to a change in who holds an office -- but those in power use the state to tilt the playing field in their favor.

It feels like this is becoming a more common mass shooter profile: Someone who's interested in politics but not as a vehicle to express clear values or a coherent viewpoint. He just wants to mock anyone who takes it seriously.

CHOTINER: So tell me about this secret chord COHEN: it goes like this: the fourth, fifth CHOTINER: but it doesn't seem very secret, you told loads of people about it COHEN: (sweating) ok but it pleased the Lord CHOTINER: does he speak to you often? COHEN: Uhh CHOTINER: It's also not a chord

Marshall calls Vought a degenerate criminal for his threats to maul the people’s government, and he’s right — but the truth is even more galling. Assent to our crimes against the Constitution, Vought now demands — or else he will commit further such crimes. He _revels_ in flouting his oath.

@kenklippenstein.bsky.social with the receipts, actually talking to the shooter's friends. Surprise! Not the left, or even MAGA. Another white kid who spent countless hours online and "was an edgelord who wanted someone to get blamed … to rile people up.” www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-ice-sh...

Is this supposed to be a threat? They did this exact thing while the government was open

These Pygmy Nuthatches visited our campsite's water spigot this morning at Tumalo State Park, Deschutes County, Oregon #birding

NEW: Prosecutors in the EDVA presented Trump's new US Atty with a memo saying a case should not be brought against Comey. That'll be fun to read in discovery - if Halligan can get this case past a federal grand jury. 1/ abcnews.go.com/Politics/new...

CNN: The ratings are in for the first day. 6.26 million viewers on ABC. That was four times Jimmy Kimmel's average. And that's despite the show not even being available in a quarter of all American homes.

A preview: the rules for release of a non-archival (those who left service fewer than 62 years ago) Official Military Personnel File are crystal clear—to agency personnel, political leadership, and the public: NARA may never release the full file without the veteran's or next-of-kin's authorization.
