I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Every policing system has problems but there are a lot of systems or practices better than the US norms that can act as practical models for reform.

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

Just got sent another Demo consultant's memo on how to win the shutdown. Spoiler alert: they want Democrats to focus on "costs" and "healthcare" and talk about how they're for smart budgets. Absolutely nothing about Trump being out of control. The consultant class should be shot out of a cannon.

I feel like if we could ban crypto we'd probably also be in a place to enshrine legal protections for trans medical care, idk

Jefferson would have been more confused by the mayor having a female chief of staff than the presence of "Mahometans" in civic office.

chud coded lib is how you win red states, not offering up peoples rights. No one wants diet bigotry they’ll drink The Good* Stuff stuff straight out the tap *bad, its actually v bad stuff

the dem consulting class will end up saying something moronic about how Dems need a rebrand. They don’t need a rebrand; they need senior leadership to resign and be replaced

oh my GOD

Half the court cases this administration brings are like “a lineup all the legal nerds here treat like the Avengers versus a guy Vance found on YouTube named Poop-Eater Steve” and it’s a coin toss who wins.

I really need to get my ass in gear and get the damned doctorate. But it's hard to stay motivated when shit is just... fucking whatever, you know?

THE LATEST SCOTUS RULING IS A REMINDER OF HOW IMPORTANT JUDGES ARE. 📣 #Pennsylvania has 3 Dem State Supreme Court Justices up for retention this fall. Help keep them on the bench! There's also seats up in #WI & #NC next year. Donate today! secure.actblue.com/donate/state...

Yeah- the percentage chance of COOL ZONE ruling is higher than I would like, but the strategy so far of “no rulings on the merits, just clearing out any barriers to action” has become the standard with obvious advantages for them. Why get pinned down on this?

Honestly, I think when The Great Happening happens, it won’t be due to a master plan but due to Trump and friends doubling and tripling down. Like, I don’t think they actually plan on FULL FORCE but if some dipshit 19 year-old caps a grandma and cites FULL FORCE as a defense, they’ll back him.

People don't realize it but the battle for the 1964 CRA didn't start in the 1964, it started in the mid 50s with liberals gaining enough power to weaponize the Caucus against dixiecrat chairmen

between the kimmel news & revolution wind’s victory in court, the obvious emerging business case — and even premium — on resisting federal targeting seems plain as day

It will not be the end of the Union. But it will be part of a sharp discontinuity in legitimate government in the US that will have to be resolved by the mass body politic.

No one feels attachment to place, no one feels rooted anymore, it’s destroyed social cohesion. Also, fuck your local newspaper, You Are The Media Now, eat from the same frictionless everywhere and nowhere algo-slop that everyone else does, let the guy in Uttar Pradesh rage bait you for $200 a month

lmfao

I dunno if it ends up accomplishing much. But neither does anyone else! Fucking try everything to find something that does.

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record. As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

i think i'm mostly sold on geoengineering. not so much because i have thought about it or studied it in any detail but because i have seen this argument five times and the arguments against always seem really weak

Finally some movement in the Wisconsin redistricting lawsuits brought by liberal groups to draw fair maps in the state. Wisconsin is 50-50, but maps were drawn to give the GOP 6 out of 8 seats. Still a long way to go here, and no guarantee of success. urbanmilwaukee.com/2025/09/26/w...

she don’t miss

the alan furst books are great explorations of this. working for russia was a great way to get killed, usually by the russians

this really ought to be our future, not an alternate reality. other paths look very bad to me. bsky.app/profile/elix...

I don’t care if the only election on your ballot this November is for the local dog catcher. Every single Democrat must get out to vote like it’s a Presidential year. We have to send a message to everyone at all levels of government and society. Make it loud and make it clear.

This is helpful to make the case but I've grown wary of how transgender people's rights specifically are primarily defended from the standpoint of pathology. KOSA and bills like it are bad because they threaten to deny us our freedom of speech, full stop.

courts and state bars need to become willing, and quickly, to disbar govt attorneys for bringing these blatantly political prosecutions

If you're on TikTok, now would be a very good time to start talking about how much better Xiaohongshu or whatever is

Now more than ever, we have to show support for our transgender friends and neighbors. I'm proud to stand with the @equality.house.gov and back the trans community🏳️‍⚧️

The Brookings Institute found that Charlie Kirk was the 2nd largest misinformation spreader among podcasts they analysed. "Mr. Kirk, a conservative activist and the founder of Turning Point USA, ranked second, with 17 percent of his episodes containing an unsubstantiated or false claim." Gifted:

Stalin had almost all of the Old Bolsheviks murdered, then murdered their murderer. Zhukov thought that the blood of the Soviet patriots who died defending the USSR against fascism was on Stalin's hands. Khrushchev denounced him to the Presidium. Mikoyan thought he was a drunk coward.

When the Westborough Baptist church came to Helena the cathedrals (the Episcopalians have a little one too) just drowned them out with bells; it was quite satisfying

Also: extremely strong reason to keep these fuckers on video every single moment they are in public.

The best way I can reduce the threat environment to my life is to defeat the Trumpist political project and restore rule of law to the United States of America. Being vocally and publicly opposed to fascists is not a risk free proposition, but it is necessary to overwhelm them with targets.

Costco going full dark woke (big tylenol sale this week)

sponsored the state's youth gender affirming care ban

i hope they indict another thousand career fbi officials for complete bullshit. maybe some cia and nsa, for measure.

"It's all just systemic risk aversion?" "Always has been" 🌎👨‍🚀🔫👩‍🚀

Probably the biggest unforced error from Democrats? Going so hard and trying to force Manchin to support the Child Tax Credit when he didn't like it. Had Democrats accepted he would not support it, they would have gotten a bigger climate package, child care and home care.

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

i hate to say this but i think maybe we need more vicious careerists

How dangerous is that EO, actually? AFAICT, the main fears seem to be Trump prosecuting donor networks, Indivisible, and/or ActBlue and the EO chilling large donors from donating.

They definitely can't go after random rank-and-file Democrats in any scalable way (LOGISTICS), but prosecuting ActBlue and Indivisble as organizations or, say, the 10 biggest Democratic megadonors seems like something they could plausibly attempt with the DoJ they have.

It wasn't a person who looked like Marco Rubio in a wig and dark sunglasses, was it?

the total capacity of the DOJ is, if you push it, perhaps 70k cases a year. even presuming that they will go after a list indiscriminately, you want to put your ticket into the government oppression lottery, because it is strictly better that they spend it on a NTB in a blue city than anything else.
