That seems normal and fine

Not the Olympic news you are wondering about but the Olympic news you are getting

BREAKING: A 5th Circuit panel has backed ICE's mass detention policy, a decision that clears the way for the administration to lock up people who are in immigration proceedings It's a 2-1 ruling Majority: Jones (Reagan), Duncan (Trump) Minority: Douglas (Obama) s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

There’s a scene in the first season finale of Nobody Wants This that’s almost a shot for shot remake of an Arrested Development gag and I just want to give whoever made that happen a shout out.

As a doctor, I am horrified by what I saw at the Whipple detention facility in Minneapolis. No medical protocols. No real medical care. No nurse on site when I visited. No beds. No real blankets. Extremely cold temperatures. Minimal food. These conditions are inhumane and unacceptable.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

our government used a Blackhawk helicopter in a major American city, detained children and zip-tied U.S. citizens all to target... squatters and the alleged Tren de Aragua presence? "It was a brutal lie against the American public." www.propublica.org/article/chic...

This is brilliant. I'm so grateful for this testimony. I've transcribed it to use in letters I'm writing. Sharing the full transcription here (see alt text to copy/paste it):

Totally normal and not at all sus…

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

The systemic overwhelm of this administration must be acknowledged

I was a White House ethics lawyer. I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules. I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

It’s funny how people in other countries are facing consequences for appearing in the Epstein files and in the US we’re like “haha oh man it’s worse than we thought”

People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.

Donald Trump just announced that he's going to demolish the Kennedy Center on the 250th anniversary of the United States: July 4th, 2026.

So what I’m gathering is a pedophilic billionaire successfully worked to destigmatize race science among the academic, political, and business elite partly by sex trafficking girls. Is that the shape of it so far?

“The memo, addressed to all ICE personnel and signed on Wednesday by Mr. Lyons, centers on a federal law that empowers agents to make warrantless arrests of people they believe are undocumented immigrants, if they are “likely to escape” before an arrest warrant can be obtained.”

BREAKING: The Trump administration is eyeing Ohio for immigration enforcement operations that could begin as early as next week, according to four people familiar with the discussions. - MSNOW

New Epstein files dropped. That would explain the extrajudicial DOJ arrests. https://bit.ly/4aagPl1

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps. This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Minneapolis isn’t peaceably assembling - Minneapolis is redressing grievances

Psst they still do this just…. closer #SciAm #cats

"socially conscious, community minded people in your area who want to meet you"

U.S. President Donald Trump’s Justice Department has decided there will be no civil rights investigation of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti. Instead, two units of the Department of Homeland Security will investigate their officers and the man they killed, sources tell MSNOW.

Look who’s coming for your guns 👀

New Day Trump is still a pedophile in the Epstein files.

"we will not determine facts" holy shit

TikTok settles as social media giants face landmark trial over youth addiction claims

From my grandmother's story: "One by one our good decent teachers disappeared and instead Nazi teachers replaced them."

Breaking news: Composer Philip Glass withdrew his highly anticipated Symphony No. 15 from its scheduled Kennedy Center performance, saying “the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony.”

I can tell I’ve adjusted to the Wisconsin winter because the -10 wind chill today felt fine

My report from Minneapolis, about the things you'll never see. newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Been a bunch here, like in Westbrook at the Market Basket, where they lay in wait, with no masks at all. Other towns, Maine citizens don't care if they have masks or not, they're standing watch for fellow immigrant workers. Also in Westbrook, outside of Portland: #MEpolitics #Maine #ICEoutOfMaine

Are we being “wagged” from MN or is it Epstein? Venezuela? or are we now being wagged from our wag?

I mean, yeah. It is insurgency because I guess what we call insurgency overseas is often also just people trying to defend their neighbors from invaders who hate them.

The gap between rhetoric and reality is their weakness

i don’t have the answer and i can’t make things better but i can press my hand into your wound to slow the bleeding i can offer my shoulder for tears and i can pray with you for grace and respite for liberty and justice for our neighbors and family and friends

A bloodbath at The Washington Post. What a terrible day for journalism.

They call it "pulling a Vatican"

this is on the front page of Ravelry right now. its like every website at this point

Second amendment advocate Stephen Gutowski reposted by conservative Christian radio guy Erick Erickson.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

My son’s favorite evolution simulation youtube channel.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

YOUR PHONE CALLS TO THE SENATE ARE WORKING. KEEP CALLING. 202–224-3121 Three Democrats who previously broke with the party and voted with the GOP are now saying they will not vote for the bill. That’s enough for the bill to be unpassable right now.
