Why is this administration full of people that age like Wilfred Brimley in Cocoon?

@davidguettamusic.bsky.social incredible closer on bpm tonight #guettabpm

But sir, what will become of the Macron story?

Sir, it’s time for your bottle of aspirin sir.

Trump knows he's close to death and wants to take us all with him

Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy

Another memorable ruling out of West Virginia, where Judge Goodwin — a Clinton appointee — excoriates the treatment of ICE detainees. "This is not what civil enforcement looks like in a humane system of government under law." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

[frantically raising hand] ooh, ooh. I know. Because Americans have a constitutional right to vote but don't have a right to open a bank account or drive a car.

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

His enemies spend a lot of time attacking that Mamdani’s a “social democrat.” What makes him special, I think, is that he’s an authentically moral person with empathy. That’s sadly rare in politics these days.

Eye-opening information here about CBP criminality that brings to mind the testimony of @jennbudd.bsky.social: “Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005.”

President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If congressional Democrats were capable of understanding their role as an opposition beyond the narrow confines of their legislative roles, they could realize that you can actually leverage public opinion to demand an end to ICE operations without actually needing to pass a bill

“Big Brother is infallible and all-powerful. Every success, every achievement, every victory, every scientific discovery, all knowledge, all wisdom, all happiness, all virtue, are held to issue directly from his leadership and inspiration”

Dems key demands: 1. Only one execution allowed per month 2. No direct tear-gassing of schools; surrounding neighborhood ok 3. No bear spray in eyes if foot soldier is stepping on neck of protestor on ground 4. Goon squad must show fake warrant before breaking down door 5. No nazi coats

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

imagine the moral black hole it takes to read this litany of stories and the takeaway from dem leadership is "we cant say abolish ice, people will say we're soft on crime, how about we just endorse retraining the brown shirts instead?"

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

if we abolish the gestapo who will do the important work of the gestapo

Praise be. And Democratic congress members should be taking fucking notes.

Yeah well I think you’re a complete fucking canard.

We’ll all sit down with our 1 pc of chicken, 1 pc of broccoli, 1 corn tortilla, & 1 other thing (I think it’s a raisin) meals to mandatory viewing of the Army-Navy game. Afterwards, children may play w/ 1 of their 2 dolls & adults are allowed use of 1 of their pencils to write Dear Leader a TY note.

Trump: I invented water Media: Trump, Inventor of Water, Sits for Wide-Ranging Interview

"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." Hats off to @niallstanage.bsky.social:

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it. We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

In the last 4 days: -- Elise Slotkin says she's being criminally investigated by DOJ -- ICE illegally goes "door to door" in Minneapolis -- FBI raids the home of a WP journalist -- DHS illegally arrests, detains 100+ Somalians with legal refugee status

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday

"The wall looks permanent until the day it comes down." data4democracy.substack.com/p/the-wall-l... Several people I know have used the word "beautiful" for this piece, and that's exactly right. A beautifully phrased essay on the bind we're in— until we aren't. Recommended, in an extreme way.

the most important thing in 2028 is electing someone who is a true believer in the project of dismantling right-wing power. if you don't get that, then nothing else will matter very much.

It's not exaggerating to say that one of the most important things to do to START fixing US law enforcement is to not allow masks and above all STOP LETTING THEM DRESS LIKE SPECIAL FORCES. I think the militarization of police and the attitudes toward civilians it breeds are fundamental.

most americans dont know that republicans invented and are monthly subscribers to a kiddie porn generator you know how theyd learn? by democrats leaving the site and turning it into a national story

So @tobymorton.bsky.social is a national treasure and Hilton is fucking up royally with this nonsense. www.hiltonice.com cc: @kenwhite.bsky.social

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

as a member of congress, first I’d like to say that what happened was bad. things like this should not happen. in summation: someone should do something. thank you and god bless america

A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive. One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy. Another collapsed and had seizures during labor.

A couple donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee and $500,000 to MAGA Inc., as well as an undisclosed amount to the ballroom fund. Then Trump nominated their son to be U.S. ambassador to Finland.

"Why Peter Thiel is leaving Silicon Valley" (2018)

GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

In which we learn that the US attorneys office concluded that Trump traveled on Air Epstein regularly without appearing in he passenger manifest.

I just realized the DOJ is taking the position that Trump is a “victim” of Epstein and therefore redacting any mention.

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true

I believe giving the worst person on the planet the most power was a bad move.
