I haven’t been this excited for a bubble to burst since I was a toddler.

The US State Department is now going to be deporting people and/or revoking visas over Benz, Taibbi, and Shellenberger’s “censorship industrial complex” hoax. Let that sink in. This is what the Twitter Files pretext was actually about. Water boys for authoritarians. www.state.gov/releases/off...

Chilling, sweeping, horrific, distorting of long-held jurisprudence protecting speech of citizens & non-citizens alike. So don't forget -- it's unconstitutional. www.state.gov/releases/off...

Cool how we are smuggling domestic news in over the border from canada and people having to share it on bulletproof hosting providers to stop the government and media owners taking it down

I never would have imagined what it would look like for the govt of the US to behave in a way that says, “I am going to troll the world because I believe in white supremacy and I don’t like brown people,” but here we are. This is what it looks like & it is literally no more complicated than that.

This has become a political issue precisely because the Trump regime doesn’t want Americans thinking about the fact that they are enabling a lawless system of torture, facilitated by 3d parties overseas, solely for the white supremacist purpose of persecuting brown people & supporting white status.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

From one of my favorite publications. They host some of the best writing anywhere. I think of Woody Guthrie, when asked in a hospital, what religion they should put down for him. And he replied all or none. 🕯️

The CBS reporter who led the story calls pulling it a "political" decision. "The decision was made after Bari Weiss, the new editor in chief of CBS News, requested numerous changes to the segment." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

i updated this app and now the icon on my home screen has a cartoony, drop-shadow 3D appearance which is a design language unlike everything else about the brand and ux, and now i am annoyed the icon needs to be flat cc: @jay.bsky.team @pfrazee.com ps this is all tongue-in-cheek but not

nope, no racist panic here, none at all

We need to be clear. Trump told Bondi/Blanche to: - ignore the legal deadline for release of all Epstein materials - go maximum redact on him, his friends and his allies - not the victims - pull stuff back that had already been released Trump is running this thing, ordering folks to break the law.

Tulsi Gabbard was an open Putin sympathizer (Assad sympathizer too) for years before Trump and the GOP Senate put her in charge of the US intel community. Her apparent eagerness to push Russian govt propaganda, including some that’s transparently absurd, is not incidental. It’s why she got the job.

goddammit, as if the world isn’t screwed up enough already, some nitwit turned off the power for the atomic clock, and now it has drifted by about 4 microseconds, which is 4 millionths of a second no one cares about quality anymore

i found this thread delightful 👇👇👇

The person charged with enforcing the laws is an open lawbreaker, assisted by a team of open lawbreakers, backed by a Congressional majority indifferent to lawbreaking, supported by a Supreme Court that privileges them to break the law. It has no legitimacy whatsoever.

This is so so smart about Daniel Craig's Bond:

Just because everyone assumed this is what Bondi would do with the Epstein files isn’t a reason to not raise holy hell about it.

there’s only one word for this: ghoulish

The dictator's disgusting name change for the Kennedy Center can't be done without congressional approval. But as usual, Trump doesn't care about the law and simply changes the facts on the ground. He must be stopped. He's ruining our country.

Must-read journalism in the public interest. 👇👇👇 “They’ve given up on the idea that they need to persuade anybody…” “They’re just going to use brute force and dominance.” “They’ve dropped a grenade into the system.”

I am so, so fucking tired of this whole narrative. Every few decades, rinse and repeat. How many times can it be pulled off a shelf and re-purposed (as if it’s a “new” story!) to maintain white supremacy?

I met Melissa Hortman in October of 2024. She was smart and kind. I heard about her murder in a LA hotel room and it dropped me to my knees. So I went to Minnesota and talked to her kids, parents, and friends. This is not true crime, this is Melissa in real life. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The myth that white men are victims of systematic discrimination has been central to the white supremacy since so-called “redeemers” claimed white men would be disenfranchised if Black folks voted. The revival of this claim in the mainstream is indeed a bad sign of where things are headed.

precisely what should be expected when you let all of the criminals escape

This really is painful to watch. I don’t know if they believe what they say or they believe they have to say it. Regardless, these are people opposed to American democracy who will be given a lifelong opportunity to corrupt it.

incredible that the oldest scam in the book — “look away from the greed and poor leadership that destroy your chance to make a career, it is the [blanks] that stole your job!” — still works

This is horrible. Trump and his crew shut down USAID, which has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and they had no idea what they were doing or what would be the consequences. Completely immoral. (From the VF story on Susan Wiles.) www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

LMAO McGovern is on fire right now 🔥🔥🔥

7 Dems joined House Republicans in voting for a bill that would enable ICE agents to strip search 12-year-olds. Henry Cuellar (TX-28) Don Davis (NC-01) Laura Gillen (NY-04) Jared Golden (ME-02) Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) Adam Gray (CA-13) Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03)

Sounds about right.

It really says something about the shameful, primal state of male humanity that all it takes for DOZENS *of the world’s most powerful men* to want to flock around an otherwise unremarkable financier is to know that his “brand” is dedicated to facilitating free sexual access to compliant young girls.

BREAKING: Rob Reiner and wife Michele Singer Reiner are the 2 people found dead in the director's Los Angeles home, AP source says.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

If the vast vast majority of Americans want reasonable gun controls and they can't get passed by the Congress then our democracy is broken. Or to be more accurate, it has been corrupted. The consciences and reason of our DC leaders have been purchased...for a pittance. Stop the $$ to stop the guns.

An important — no, essential — thread about Trump’s cruel efforts to subvert the rule of law. “At one point, Trump even admitted he could bring him back at any point and try him lawfully, but refused: He was leaving Abrego Garcia in that torture prison abroad because —well, because he could.”

SCOOP: The Trump administration is providing the names of all travelers passing through U.S. airports to immigration officials in search of people with deportation orders, a substantial expansion of government efforts to draw on data to hunt down immigrants. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/u...

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported? Noem: We have not deported military veterans. Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

Nice how “women” and “female” are banned words, but not “men” and “male.” Also “Black” and “Native American” and “Latinx” are banned, but not “white.” The racism and sexism work around the clock in this administration.

zuckerberg is an evil coward
