"The Christian ethic regarding foreigners is clear. But the sad irony is many of the same white Christian nationalists who believe biblical tenets should supersede the Constitution are eager to subsume their faith to the siege mentality of an oppressive government." — @schaller67.bsky.social

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds"

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.

Trump has never said anything as critical about Vladimir Putin or any Russian war criminal as he did today about the majority on the US Supreme Court.

Impeach. Remove. Prosecute.

Welp.

In theory, we know this is true. But "struck down" doesn't quite capture it. These tariffs were obviously and transparently illegal. They were knowingly illegal. It is a stain on the Court that something so obviously illegal was allowed to stand for a year. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/scotus-...

In most democracies Trump’s reckless and wild abuse of power through his tariffs would cause the government to fall or the leader to be removed. The imposition of these tariffs against the will of Congress, the courts, our allies, and the American people. It’s clear grounds for removal.

Another must-watch from the incomparable @bennjordan.bsky.social . Send to your political leaders to prevent one of these from coming to your town. Quite apart from the electricity and water demands, they are LOUD in infrasound (f<20Hz). Causing dizziness, nausea, etc. youtu.be/_bP80DEAbuo?...

Cops arrested a man who opposed a data center being built because his went ever so slightly over his allotted speaking time www.404media.co/man-opposing...

The Constitution says "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law." Presidents who violate the Constitution should be impeached and removed from office.

Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

Trump is in the Epstein files thousands of times, he is shredding the first amendment, he is brazenly corrupt, he is opening concentration camps in their districts, and he is starting an unprovoked war with Iran. WHY WOULD YOU NOT DISRUPT THE STATE OF THE UNION. The whole D leadership needs to go.

Good. Also, fuck the Department of Education for attempting to pull this bullshit in the first place, and fuck this whole racist, shitty administration. And fuck ICE, while I'm at it, because that's just an evergreen at this point.

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

As promised yesterday: a new alternative model for Little Red Dots. Maybe they're not stars powered by black hole accretion ... maybe they're globular clusters in formation! That's the suggestion in a new paper led by John Chisholm, anyway. It sounds impossible, but hear me out: 🧪🔭☄️

I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: If you believe you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.

Now this is an important thread.

Olympic highlight in this house.

The Fox News chyron reads "Latest Dem hoax" at the same time that Brendan Carr confirms that yes, the FCC would've "enforced the law" and gone after CBS had Colbert aired his interview with Talarico on TV

Woohoo for colleague Billy Quarles! Brilliant guy and wonderful mentor for students.

This is lovely. Arts are important. Support the intangible good in society. Beautiful to someone (even if not me) is still beautiful. (Raised in the US system but adore the euro system).

Colbert has truly had a great relationship with CBS, even after he was told his contract wasn’t going to be renewed. So let me say: It’s stunning to me that, as he explains here, nobody at CBS told Colbert about the statement today. This is a must-watch: youtu.be/OQIljje2B_Q?...

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

gotta do investigations into DHS “waste, fraud and abuse” as pretext for killing the agency

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Only 1 of the 3 people in this story is hard to replace with someone who'd better at the job.

Honestly think that AOC would have a fairly easy time consolidating support within the Democratic establishment and that her real challenge is the media.

i would like to read a deeply-reported, 10,000-word investigative piece about the procurement process that ends up sourcing a luxury 737 for the head of DHS which only seats 17 people

Wow.

This is the last thing you have to do before you finish your degree in physics.

“Dark Clippy” is pretty good (but I am pretty old).

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

The President of the United States most likely raped girls along with his best friend Epstein. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Seems fair

wapo.st/3ZHRvho This‼️ is why AI needs to be strictly monitored. AI could go renegade & rogue if not reined in—if it’s not too late—my opinion 🤬

Donald Trump is "the Epstein Administration." Pass it on

I am overcome. This is not an ordinary video. This is a call to action. And love.

The 2028 Dem platform needs to include "prosecute everyone who lied to Congress." Whatever fake "norms" there were against that are long gone, and Trump has routinely used and threatened it, including against the Federal Reserve. Real, meritorious prosecutions need to happen at scale.

I think this is part of my generation's confusion about AI. We were raised on a culture that warned about these dangers repeatedly -- from WarGames to the Terminator films to the Matrix, and countless other dystopian futures in between -- and now those cautionary tales are being celebrated.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Then of the US v China curling match was incredible.

Such great writing here:

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.
