The affidavit drew a rebuke from Georgia State University law professor Clark Cunningham, who reviewed it for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He said he’s surprised a judge issued a search warrant based on the evidence. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Many are arguing that they wouldn't be acting this way if they thought they were subject to free & fair elections. Plausible. But another explanation is that they see the writing on the wall--generational backlash--and they're attempting increasingly desparate hail marys

and the fact that it wasn’t pulled immediately after the grok CSAM incident says everything you need to know about the way “protecting children” is used as a justification for anything else. it’s never really about that at all. it’s all just power & capital.

Every time I listen to J6ers I am struck by the sheer inability of these people to take any responsibility for their actions whatsoever combined with their deep pride at having tried very hard to overthrow the government

Adding to/complementing this, my @criticalinternet.bsky.social colleague wrote this last year, with tips for whistleblowers and how to assess your risk/threat level. Applies to protesting as well: static1.squarespace.com/static/67a12...

Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.

Renee Nicole Good was 37. She was murdered by an ICE agent in the street in broad daylight. What really happened to her will not be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

On a call just now, Bari Weiss tells staff she held the CECOT story because it wasn’t ready & to advance a months-old story, they need "the principals" on record. Yesterday, CBS reporter Sharyn Alfonsi warned if they can only do stories when government responds, it “gains control” over 60 Minutes.

went to bed with a mass shooting, waking up with a different mass shooting

My most fundamental belief is that we do not have to live like this.

This man was shot twice during this incredible, selfless act of courage. We can stand up for each other. We can care for each other. We can be neighbors. www.news.com.au/national/nsw...

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Whoever set up a functional gmail style inbox of Epstein's inbox deserves a journalism prize. jmail.world

This is predatory capitalism. They gave tax breaks to billionaires so that folks could get bills like this for healthcare.

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

At a certain point you have to conclude that the Democrats agree with the Republicans that they are contemptible and illegitimate, and don’t deserve to govern.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Breaking: Democrats flip two Public Service Commission seats in Georgia, the first victories in 25 years.

Dick Cheney was proud to have normalized state-sponsored torture. That, and the dead of Iraq in an unjust war, constitute his entire legacy. “That’s not funny” is a meme-y cliche but I don’t care about the friend he shot or our jokes about it. Cheney is Kissinger level. He made the world worse.

Dick Cheney dying on the same day New York City is poised to elect a Muslim socialist as mayor has healed something inside me

A good omen.

Joking in your Young Republican group chat about the mass murder of 6 million people who'd been scapegoated for decades as morally degenerate ethnic/religious outsiders is just locker room talk. Speaking lightly of the murder of Charlie Kirk to your 400 friends on Facebook is a fireable offense.

We're seeing relentless attacks on freedom of speech in America today, and they reveal the ideology that's driving the Republican Party I talked to @adamserwer.bsky.social and @maryannefranks.bsky.social about that for my newsletter

Yow.

The Global Sumud Flotilla, a humanitarian mission carrying baby formula, medicine, and food to Gaza, is currently being intercepted by Israel. Thiago Avila speaks truth to power. May the members of this mission be protected. May this genocide end.

Wild stuff — nuking a portion of your website because MAGA got mad at you for it. jewishinsider.com/2025/09/adl-...

My constituent Greg Stoker and others on the Global Sumud Flotilla should be granted safe passage to deliver critical aid to those starving in Gaza. Threats from extremist Ben-Gvir to criminalize humanitarian action must be rejected. (1/2)

Anyone want to match me?

LET'S FUCKING GO

Whewwww

Good launch video overall, and the focus on the Gaza genocide is notable. I think many Dems don't understand how much of a primary issue this will be in '26 and '28.

This has been decently common for years among perpetrators of mass shootings and the fact that seemingly no one takes the time to report that this is not a particularly new phenomenon frustrates me deeply

Honest question - does Kash Patel know about court?

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

I keep asking why politicians hire strategists who can't win elections and why media outlets keep platforming opinion writers who praise Charlie Kirk while shushing Greta Thunberg. I keep arriving at the same answers. www.the-sentinel-intelligence.net/maybe-losing...

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Yes! If something as straightforwardly non-violent as, e.g. occupying a campus building to demand your university divests from a genocide is painted as "violent protest," then non-violence feels like a synonym for easily-ignored and ineffective. We shouldn't accept that framing.

"Adopting nativist discourse and policies does not win back far-right voters. It leads to losses for centrist and leftwing parties." Excellent analysis, as always, from @casmudde.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

i promise if i ever ghost you on signal it's not because i hate you it's because i'm in literally hundreds of groups and i have so, so many notifications

ATL: You can tell ATL power players are terrified of @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social because the racist smears are ramping up. Yesterday, this FULLY ANONYMOUS email landed in my inbox - alleging that Rohit, a nonprofit leader and organizer, is an "Alarming Threat to Public Safety". THREAD ⬇️ #gapol

This is fucking crazy
