ICE now admits that hundreds of children were held past the legal 20-day custody limit set to protect their safety. Five were kept for 168 days. Some faced unsafe conditions and went days without medical care. This crosses a moral line.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground. Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse. Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Splitting Indianapolis four ways is Jim Crow-level voter suppression.

This is no different than refusing to allow Obama to appoint Garland to the Supreme Court because a new president would take office in ten months, and then confirming Barrett eight days before the 2020 election. There are no laws, no rules, no norms, only Calvinball.

My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

whether hegseth gets away with it remains to be seen but it is interesting to see that he thought trump handed him a license to murder with this job, no questions asked, and now questions are definitely being asked.

The USG has a new explanation on why they (now admittedly) intentionally killed 2 shipwrecked men. It does not pass the laws-of-war smell test Worse for Hegseth, NYT: "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved contingency plans for what to do if an initial strike left survivors." 1/🧵

Pretty much every article about the Putin-Kushner-Witkoff summit in Moscow yesterday fails to mention that Kushner is simultaneously accepting tens of millions in annual payments from the Saudis and other foreign governments. Seems like a key detail!

"we need to be able to make millions on corrupt insider trading" seems like a poor platform for 2026; especially when coupled with, "we are going to double your insurance premiums and tax the fuck out of your groceries."

Lesson 6: If you have a theory of the Supreme Court that does not include political ideology, its going to be wrong. During the Biden administration it was all major questions because they did not like his policies, and during Trump it is mostly unitary executive, because they do.

🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in Nov. That's the 4th negative number in past 6 months. The estimate was for +40,000, so the street was off ... this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs"

imo if you want to get back in power your slogan should be "If you elect us we will prosecute everyone in government who has violated the law"

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

THE IZZY FROM LIZZA PART 3 IS THE ONE DOING THE "ABSTRACT NUDE" PORTRAIT OF OLIVIA NUZZI SET TO BE PUBLISHED IN VANITY FAIR IMMINENTLY nypost.com/2025/11/26/b...

Three things about the Witkoff tapes: 1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia. 2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea. 3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

oh yeah the new york city subway is so fucking scary, you never know what kind of weirdo you'll have to share a train with

Trump has posted about this subject NINETEEN times so far this morning: Three posts of his own and 16 reposted replies, including calls for violence.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

the gulf between the swift brutality with which places like harvard treated students protesting genocide and the endless, endless latitude those same institutions have given people like larry summers tells you everything you need to know

holy shit: “Among the 2,000 UK adults surveyed, 85% were unaware that Britain forcibly transported more than 3 million Africans to the Caribbean, 89% did not know that Britain enslaved people in the Caribbean for more than 300 years” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs. So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract. Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

epstein emails released and everyone coming out as a pedophile to defend donald trump

White House aggressively posting “trump is straight” content amid the blow job e-mail

Funny watching all the MAGA influencers celebrate Trump for rolling back tariffs on beef and coffee — after spending the whole year arguing tariffs don’t raise prices.

Massive corruption and a direct violation of the constitution www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Scott Weiner has forced California to build a lot more homes. Now he's running for Nancy Pelosi's seat. Can his "getting shit done" ethos work in a broken Congress?

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump. The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “I think these emails demonstrate precisely why Republicans have been trying to block the release of the Epstein files… Trump had a very close personal relationship with Epstein and spent time with the victims… it’s horrifying.”

They should invent a government that isn’t senile pedophile adolf hitler

"is the president of the united states currently being blackmailed by pedophiles" is a legitimate question with supporting evidence that needs to be investigated

Epstein: “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump..[VICITM] spent hours at my house with him, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75 % there.” Maxwell: “I’ve been thinking about that.” 💥 www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

MSNBC: What is holding Republicans back from voting to release all the files? GARCIA: They're complicit in this coverup

Billie Eilish asked the right question: If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

the emails from epstein say things like "thank god donald trump isnt exposing us. he knows more than anyone" and the headlines are like "it would seem, to some, that donald trump's name is mentioned in passing"

the president admitted to sexual assault on camera and it didn't matter

“The President sent his lawyer to negotiate a settlement with a convicted sex trafficker to provide cushy accommodation in exchange for her silence on his participation in said sex trafficking” is a cold description of the facts of an insane story that the media doesn’t find worthy of scrutiny

Will always be puzzled as to why Republicans hammered so hard on the Epstein stuff given that it was obvious that it would be a huge risk for their own guy Trump and Epstein were buddies throughout the height of his trafficking -- what did they think would happen? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

“I think it’s a terrible mistake,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren says of the deal. “People want us to stand and fight for health care, and that's what I believe.” (via Igor Bobic, HuffPo) x.com/igorbobic/st...

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

If the political opposition doesn’t put these ICE & CBP institutional criminals in prison, annihilate their budgets, purge the datasets and repeal their authorities, this will keep happening. And that opposition will reveal itself as a false, controlled opposition that is no less predatory on people

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine. We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

I actually think what ICE is doing under Trump 2.0 is shaping up to be a world-historic campaign of human rights violations in an advanced industrialized ~democracy I’m not sure I have many modern parallels. Japanese internment? Treatment of French-Algerians in the Algerian war? Those were wartime.
