Media is one of the 'seven mountains' targeted for control by christian nationalists. This decades long campaign has been well funded by American oligarchs as well as enemies of democracy. Brand new book out. Finally!

Judge Donna Scott Davenport oversaw a juvenile justice system in Rutherford County, TN, with a staggering history of throwing children in jail. In one case, 11 Black children, as young as 8, were arrested for a crime that doesn't exist. Revisit our 2021 story w/ @wpln.bsky.social:

ABSOLUTELY THIS #MedicareForAll

It's not that people are going to have their insurance costs double. It's that people will no longer be able to afford insurance and be forced to go without again.

I think there's a real possibility that AI could cut online shopping if we see an increase in fake/scam products.

If being in the states without papers is inherently a non-violent (not even criminal) offense, why does ICE need to act like they're in a war zone?

Ms. Martinez’ lawyer says body cam footage shows the agent turned into HER car and yelled “do something bitch” before firing shots.

There is no acceptable excuse for zip-tying children! None. This shouldn’t even have to be said.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

He's already an adjudicated rapist, him invading cities and labeling his opponents terrorists is not a distraction from the story, it is the story

ICE said they were only going after “illegal immigrants.” Then they went after anyone who looked Hispanic or spoke Spanish. Now they’re going after Black people. And then the homeless. And they’re just getting started. If you wonder how it felt in 1933 Germany, you’re there.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Yeah, this makes no sense to me, either.

The regime keeps losing in court because what they’re doing is illegal

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

Can't help but feel like BSKY leadership fundamentally does not understand that BSKY users aren't here because it's the "decentralized future of social media." They're here because it (was) a safe space for targeted minorities on the progressively right-wing dominated mediasphere.

They’re not acting like they’re in a four-year term. They’re acting like they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

I wish the media would talk more about how Stephen Miller is basically running the country right now and how terrified we should all be of that.

If we have to have a civil war over Trump, I just honestly can't express how utterly idiotic and unnecessary it should be that THIS is the thing we end up in war over.

All the videos we see of ICE/police/military assaulting people on camera are happening because they know they will face no consequences for their actions. They're breaking the law because they believe the law no longer applies to them. What kept them in check before was fear. Now they have none.

If you're someone living in America who isn't worried about your family because you aren't an immigrant, a friendly reminder that of the people murdered by Nazis, only half of them were Jews.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation. This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

Somewhere in America, a young Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing a diary.

History repeats.

I'm a native born US citizen. I love immigrants and think diversity doesn't threaten our culture, but enhances it. I wish it was easier for people to become citizens, and wish that our asylum and refugee laws allowed more in. Immigrants are what makes us great.

It’s disturbing to me, when I say to otherwise kind, intelligent, aware people, “wow, bad shit is happening”, and they reply to me, “Oh you have to not watch the news. Don’t read the papers! Just don’t think about it.” And NO that is a TERRIBLE answer. That’s exactly how we got here to begin with.

I get beside myself angry when I think about how a presidential candidate repeatedly fucking said he’d be a dictator and the press response was ha ha that rascal I’m sure he probably doesn’t mean it

Naked children torn from their mothers and tossed into vans. U.S. citizens detained for hours in zip ties. Doors kicked in and belongings stolen or destroyed. This is the reality of Trump’s deportation agenda. It was always about cruelty.

overt nazi language in this DHS job listing (which i’m told is for a low-level but important job in adjudicating immigration applications and requires knowledge of the law)

Yall need to quit trying to announce a 2028 presidential campaign for every democratic politician who’s just doing what we elected them to do. It’s annoying. Expect more from your elected officials.

Covid impacts kids. It always has. They told us it didn’t because they were willing to sacrifice the kids for the economy. Reinfections increase Long Covid risk in children. Long Covid has surpassed asthma as the most common chronic illness in kids. The kids deserve better

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes.....Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared...." ~ Anne Frank

Reasonable suspicion.

White folks, if you think this government would never turn the military against you, think again—Sincerely Black people.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

While I know dems aren't messaging well right now and republicans are complaining that they're holding the country hostage, Trump's, "You can't hold it hostage because if you do, I'll host the hostage" tactic is....something.

I have stopped counting the number of time that TACO and the muskrat admitted out loud that they cheated the 2024 election. The reason my party infuriates me is because the other side spent 4 years spreading lies about 2020, while Dems refused to spend even 4 minutes investigating what

If you hate the Pope because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law. Not. One. Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters. Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

The President is unwell. PBS comments: “his remarks were rambling and incoherent,” in multiple appearances. The Guardian calls some of his speeches “baffling” and “weirder than ever.” Cambridge analysis says that his statements often require “translation” or annotation to make sense.

all of this is happening because some stupid, lazy, and selfish people refused to vote for Kamala Harris.

I find it really kind of outrageous to hear people talking about how the government needs to function so XYZ services can be happening, when XYZ is all being cut because of the bill democrats are trying to challenge, and that's just...not mentioned.

Do democrats take blame for the shutdown? Yes, the same way republicans were responsible for all the prior ones. But the real mistake they're making right now is not owning it. They're trying to protect the American people who are overwhelmingly opposed to the budget measures from before.

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

So my husband got over his cold last week but my son isn't feeling well again. Hoping it's just a normal cold or strep or something like that, but it's kind of crazy how we haven't had an illness in months and it's just been one after the other now.
