NBC News finds that: -- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six. -- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam. -- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Hmm which should I buy?

Every imagined threat about socialism is modeled after real things that happened under capitalism

Stay woke friends

MAGA man eats pavement after shouting slurs at No Kings protesters

Oh wow

Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America

The Republicans attacks on the No Kings protests are sickening. To them, only pro-Trump speech is protected. If you oppose Trump - you "hate America" or you're a "terrorist". What they're trying to do is simple: suppress turnout this weekend. Don't let them win.

Poetic allegory for America

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

This is grossly dark. These are broken people. But it's also so politically dumb. How do they think Americans will react to being told that anyone who doesn't support Trump is a terrorist?

We wanted to know what it was like to own a Cybertruck. So @zoeschiffer.bsky.social went to the desert got this absolutely amazing quotes (and Michelle Groskopf took the pictures!) www.wired.com/story/owning...

very annoying that we had to endure about a month of these people going “calling us nazis hurts our feelings” to then immediately be revealed saying nazi shit and going “yup, we want gas chambers. so what libs”

Sanders: They have refused to negotiate. And anyone thinks that tomorrow they'll suddenly start negotiating. I think, is smoking what is illegal in many states AOC: And should be legal in more.

Demagogic president seizes money to pay standing army, arrogating to himself legislative power, while his cronies keep Congress out of session is honestly more or less exactly how the Founders thought this would end

Holy shit this is harrowing

Just admitting that Miller is a fucking Nazi

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico). In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.

I thought 9/11 was our domestic 9/11

We were actually getting somewhere, too. 😞 @sbmitche.bsky.social www.library.hbs.edu/working-know...

Bubba it hasn't even been a week 😭

Yes, color me shocked.

We should be asking this c o n s t a n t l y.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Make America Shit Itself To Death Again

he has the strong, powerful heart of an unhealthy 65 year old man

Mamdani: "Trump ran on 3 promises - punishment of his political enemies, easing cost of living crisis, & mass deportation. It's that second promise that brought so many to his campaign. And yet he's unable & unwilling to deliver bc he's beholden to the very billionaires that are profiting off of it"

So, yeah, a mind-vaporizingly huge explosion in space *may have been from a white dwarf ripped to shreds by a black hole*. yeGADS badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/a-white-dw... 🔭🧪

Marge is *shockingly* one of the only Republicans that seem to give a shit rn???

So this is funny. The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

“It’s true, all of it… it’s all true.”

Catholics, get the message out to your parishes.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

“Who was president in 2020?” is the question of our time

it's interesting to me how suspicious Republican Sen. Kennedy seems to be about Epstein and the administration's handling of it

“I voted for none of this." Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I just don't understand the need to stay so committed to Israel. There is no longer the excuse that it's a popular point to win votes. Israel is so fucking unpopular in the US that politicians are some of the only groups standing by them.

SOYBEAN FARMER SOUNDS OFF: Trump’s trade war is crushing farmers. Now Trump is giving $20B to Argentina—the same country taking much of America’s soybean market. Soybeans are the no. 1 cash crop in Tennessee. Via @pulsereportnow on IG

Not a single Greta hater could do what she has done, face what she's faced, bear abuse and humiliation at the hands of the most psychotic and genocidal army. They haven't an ounce of her bravery and that's what drives them crazy. Free Greta, free Palestine🇵🇸

I said what I said.

ICE Tear Gassed people right in front of an Elementary School. Who knows how many kids got exposed

This is literally directly across the street from an elementary school.

i love how instead of just building a place for people to interact every one of these intellectually stunted coders thinks they're on some divine mission to shape human behavior

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

I didn't see the tweet. I didn't hear the comment. I didn't watch the speech. Republicans have been feigning ignorance about their mad king for eight years now.

As with Charlie Kirk, Republicans are fiercely loyal to the general idea of Donald Trump but will furiously refuse to grapple with anything specific that he actually says or does.
