Keep it up!!

this very evil thing appears to have not happened in large part because one guy just refused to do it for as long as he could hold out until he couldn't hang in there anymore and quit his job, at which point the Do More Evil Machine had gotten bored and moved on to other ways of doing evil

do not read this PDF and let it make you even more dismayed and despairing about how evil the evil people in it are you knew they were evil, you've seen the numbers on how many kids shutting down USAID already killed read this PDF and let it make you hopeful about how the word "no" saves lives

they were pretending to want efficiency and cost savings, so he pretended to believe the goal was efficiency and cost savings, and produced plans for efficiency and cost savings this forced them to admit, out loud and in front of witnesses, that their real objective was to ruin people's lives

I went to Delaney Hall to follow up on conversations I had this morning with family members of detainees. ICE and GEO Group did not let me speak with detainees. Why do they insist on hiding the truth even after getting almost $1 billion of tax dollars?

We need to stand firm as a party against all of Trump's wasteful and corrupt vanity projects! Demand that Congress not use your tax dollars for Trump's ballroom here: https://bit.ly/4tPon4f #ResistTrump

The Supreme Court is expected to rule soon on two campaign finance cases that could forever change our elections. @davidsirota.com explains how SCOTUS is about to legalize corruption.

I mean to be fair, it’s probably a stretch to call what Israel can do to this administration “spying.” Encouraging stupid people to say things they shouldn’t, listening to drunk people, flattering narcissists, etc. is just human relations.

They’re doing whatever they can to get rid of mail-in voting..

Great!! I was beginning to think another reality show host was going to make it through the gauntlet. Who was voting for that guy?

Private prison company GEO Group, which runs Delaney Hall, gave $1M+ to Trump's Super PAC in 2024 and his inauguration in 2025. Not only has Trump since rewarded GEO with billions in ICE contracts, but a top former GEO executive has now been named acting ICE director. Cashing in on cruelty.

Pelley, who has been at CBS for more than two decades, reportedly railed against the new executive producer of "60 Minutes" in a tense staff meeting Monday.

I can think of several reasons and they’re all dystopian.

They don’t fit his Nazi narrative.

Skanks…

Like them or not, this is still censorship.

F^&k him….and his crew.

Trump's ill-conceived tariffs are hitting Americans twice: first through higher prices and then through lower wages (via Bloomberg Opinion)

“Hey @mikiesherrill.bsky.social — I interviewed you last year. Do you remember?” @jesscraven101.bsky.social brings receipts as state police show Sherrill claiming to care about freedom and rights to get elected was hot air. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DZAn2GM...

This is truly shameful.. How the hell did he win the runoff?

Oil surged as traders reacted to an Iranian report that the country will stop exchanging messages with the US over Israel.  Listen to that and the latest stories on Bloomberg News Now.

I like how he answers her question. He’s seems to be optimistic, no matter what. We need that SO badly. Can Mickie Sherrill get a lesson?

I’m delighted he’s not supporting a genocidal government.

🔍 Here is what Democracy Docket is tracking today:

 Active Voting Rights Cases: 155 Active Redistricting Cases: 44 Active Anti-Voting Cases: 77 Active Pro-Voting Cases: 73 Active DOJ Lawsuits: 27 Find real-time updates here:

According to my termination letter from @washingtonpost.com a, the company cited these two Bluesky posts, and claimed that I disparaged white men, accused me of ‘gross misconduct’, and that my Bluesky posts “potentially endanger[ed] the physical safety of our staff”.

And of course, I am deeply grateful to my readers, followers, friends, mentors, and the industry peers who have supported me throughout my career and through what has been one of the most personally and professionally challenging periods of my life. The stakes are high, but I’m ready. Let’s go!!

Remember her?

Don’t let up on this guy and don’t buy Estee Lauder cosmetics.

I’m still rooting for Iran…

Of course it’s horse-hockey. It’s coming from Trump’s EPA, not the real EPA.

🛢️🛢️

Trump's ever-expanding list of taxpayer grifts: -$1.8B slush fund for political allies -$1B for ballroom "security" -$1B for Qatar jet refurbishments -$230M in DOJ "compensation" -$100M+ for golf outings When he says he "doesn't think about Americans' financial situation," I believe him.

jfc..

Really great summary of the meltdown at FEMA and the sorry state of the agency as we enter into hurricane/wildfire season: “It could take a decade to fix what they broke,” a high-ranking FEMA official said. “And if we have a major disaster this year, we’re screwed.”

this is fascinating: gillianbrockell.com/habeas-fligh...

Paying no attention to any ceasefire - at all.

+ 300B for his Iran war Bankruptcy is after all his forte'

I can’t think of anything more hideous.

"All the agents who had been to Minnesota told me they never wanted to go back, for any reason."

Extraordinary piece about being a journalist covering ICE/Border Patrol. I wanted to screenshot a couple quotes, but too many. Read it all. Agents wanting to bask in glory of journalist lenses while avoiding scrutiny reminds me of Arkan's Tigers, a Serbian death squad Ron Haviv photographed in 90s.

Sounds ambitious..

Huh?

„You do not get a cookie for not being a rapist—that basic human decency is the floor, not an achievement.“ Read this clear and concise article about violence against women!

We already have OVER 3,000 of these.. no one else in world has more than 500… I’m sure there are several reasons and none of them are good.

CBS NEWS(Max): “Trump made time to visit with U.S. service members during his trip to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, but he did not see any of the 14 troops injured in the war he started with Iran who are also recovering at the hospital.” www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-v...

Only Trump could be more tacky than this.

Great episode on the power of cooperation and stories, liberalism, the risks and benefits of AI and more. I really like Harari's liberty-equality-fraternity test for political systems.

It’s embarrassing, and honestly it’s starting to look like Idiocracy could see the future.
