BREAKING from PP We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens* The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied: Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado www.propublica.org/article/immi... by @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Yes! Stanford must not capitulate.

The spelling bee pangram is just taunting us today

Yeah this. They should be able to do both

A couple of points on this post, which I agree is excellent: • A hearty 'amen' to this:

This is important and takes about a minute! Call Gov Newsom and ask him to sign SB 79. Number below

Dems need to denounce and fight this Portland insanity very, very hard. Our unacceptable hesitancy when Trump invaded DC encouraged further escalation. We should be demanding Congress return to deal with this "emergency" - briefings, hearings, debate. We have to fight. bsky.app/profile/jonw...

Sure seems like the president just instructed the military to use lethal force against US citizens.

I don't give a shit about Comey, but I give several shits about the president actually and personally using the carceral state as a vehicle for his petty grievances against individuals he doesn't like. You shouldn't risk jailtime if the president finds you irksome ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

whoever is running the most effective “PRIMARY ALL OF THEM. YES, ALL. I SAID ALL. I MEAN ALL” campaign can have literally all my money, time, and social media followers. Congressional fire sale, everything must go, no substitutions, all sales final. I’m so serious. this is irredeemable

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it. Contemptible & pathetic.

Ok its ‘feed it off an aux, speak, grunt no strength, the ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height, wire in a fire representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site’.

Agree! Called my Rep to demand impeachment of RFK jr already this morning (and I added Trump too of course--it is well past time for both)

She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse. ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.

The fascism is here. "What would you do if fascism came to America?" You're doing it.

I keep saying this but it remains true: Dems have not learned the central lesson of Reconstruction, that multiracial democracy cannot survive when those working to overthrow the rule of law & fair elections are allowed to operate with impunity.

Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.

If Democratic politicians do not fight this because it's a "distraction," it will simply happen. They need to get in front of every mic and say that we will not allow Trump to destroy American history. He wants a culture war? GIVE HIM ONE. There are no distractions. Have every fight.

Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp what’s going on here?

yeah they are going to decide this and give republican states enough time to draw new maps

Just going to reiterate that in 2016 Trump inherited the lowest murder rate of any president in 50 years. He set reality aside, gave his “American Carnage” inaugural address, and was then the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher murder rate than when he started.

Don’t let this die. Keep elevating this.

california’s population is larger than at least a dozen red states *combined* so if we’re playing the “we deserve more representation” game give us our 500 senators

Barbaric. www.cnn.com/2025/07/16/u...

On the left is a post today from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. On the right is literal Nazi propaganda from the 1930s.

This is really good- a combination of excellent explainer with loving description that makes me want to visit hill country. @joelanderson.bsky.social never fails w his writing

It cannot be stated strongly enough that ICE is a Nazi organization that not only needs to be disbanded, but every single masked goon held responsible for their crimes

This is why I find the “Dems must *reform* the Supreme Court, not expand it” arguments so frustrating. There is no reform other than expansion that solves the problem of a 6-3 conservative supermajority. Term limits, ethics codes, great. But it’s all window dressing as long as these numbers hold.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

"They took hospitals and health care away from you so they could build concentration camps for immigrants."

I know the media is going to unthinkingly start using “Alligator Alcatraz,” but it’s disgusting and sadistic and I intend to call it what it is, a fucking concentration camp, and fuck those people who are doing this and giving it a cutesy name.

Peter Thiel Shows Trump How To Sort Spreadsheet Of Americans By Ethnicity theonion.com/peter-t...

All of this stuff would feel less terrible if I thought that Democrats having control of the House, Senate, and Presidency would get rid of it all and punish all of the unconstitutional atrocities instead of doing a bill to update our airports

me, personally? i'd call it Reconstruction.

This is nazi shit. It’s all Nazi shit. Folks waiting for some miraculous Dem turnaround in 2026 are deluding themselves into thinking we will actually have that chance, and that it will have an impact

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

Every cut that the government makes to social services is effectively a tax on women. Because they're the ones who will be expected to fill in the gaps.

Millions of acres of public lands are eligible for sale in the Senate budget reconciliation package (as of 6-14). This would be the largest public lands sell-off in US history, and would bypass traditional safeguards such as public hearings & environmental reviews. 1/x map: tinyurl.com/Lands4SaleMap

This is a horrifying ruling that shows a disdain for basic human rights principles — made all the more unconscionable by the fact that the Republican appointees did so with no reasoning and on the shadow docket.

Today the GOP justices on the Supreme Court endorsed migrants being sold into slavery. They'll claim otherwise, but that's the reality — today's decision permits Trump to send people from countries around the world to any global hellhole that accepts a U.S. financial incentive.

Lander and Padilla have set the standard that absolutely every Democratic politician should meet or exceed if they don't want to get primaried.
