The district courtroom really is one of the last spaces left in American public life where there’s a serious possibility that a strategy built on the denial of reality just won‘t fly.

Despicable open.substack.com/pub/steady/p... Great read from Dan Rather: "...The very existence of a free press is a threat to this president’s modus operandi, which is to govern by lying. Why would he want people around him who ask for facts and truthful answers?..." #BlueCrew #MisogynistInChief

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Are Republicans guilty of treason? It seems they're breaking their oath en masse. When we restore democracy, what is the accountability?

Very important point here from Sam Berger: "a government shutdown does not provide the Administration any additional legal authority to fire federal employees, limit review of its actions by federal courts, or freeze funding once full-year appropriations are provided." www.cbpp.org/research/und...

I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

“Take this as me shouting from the rooftops: there is no greater abuse—none—than forcing a prosecutor to bring charges against the president’s political enemies without adequate evidence.” open.substack.com/pub/harrylit...

Boycotting Disney here. Disney is obviously MAGA. FUCK them. #kimmel

Since 1990, far-right extremists committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives. Far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks, took 78 lives. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Well one thing is for sure. Much of the media in the US doesn't actually engage in journalism. I don't know what to call what they do but it is not journalism.

How shameful and embarrassing is this?! Turning the us into an actual pariah state. F****** embarrassing! www.bbc.com/news/article...

The U.S. is complicit in this genocide. www.democracynow.org/2025/8/12/he...

For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq. “If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.” National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC. A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.

Ok this is my laugh for the night.

Turns out we have no checks or balances against a corrupt president abusing power. How can this be? The whole U.S. story was a fucking lie. I have much more protections living abroad. Crazy. #StephenColbert

In April, U.S.-made bombs destroyed a detention facility that held Ethiopian migrants in Yemen, crushing bodies and shredding limbs. Few answers have emerged, and the U.S. has not claimed responsibility. Amid official silence, the survivors are left wondering why.

@kenmartin.bsky.social Do you realize Republicans are attacking the voting rights of Americans living abroad? I can no longer donate to political candidates using ActBlue while overseas. ActBlue has caved to that DOJ investigation. Please help.

How sad that Biden could have just granted amnesty to millions of immigrants and millions would have been spared this barbaric treatment under the worst president in U.S. history. Democrats never use their power.

It's so obvious that white supremacists have infiltrated ICE. youtube.com/shorts/qy5vI...

NEW VIDEO: One of the most egregious abuses of power and attacks on the federal judiciary is taking place in Maryland and it is not getting the urgent attention it deserves. In a normal time this would be a national scandal. Paige and I discuss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqrO...

@marcelias.bsky.social ActBlue is not accepting donations from Americans physically abroad. This is a huge policy change. But Citizens United is alive and well! Does this seem normal to you?

Practical advice for people in the US : read clinical guidelines from other countries to stay safe. For us in other places we are used to doing that but you may not. Check out the UK, Canada, Australia, France, etc. Many countries are comparable in infrastructure but have reasonable policymakers.

Every GOP Senator is responsible for this blatant attack on our rule of law. Bondi is openly corrupt and beyond any semblance of ethical. Garland could have taken bold action to protect us but instead we got vacillation and inaction. Doubtful we can keep this "democracy." apnews.com/article/jan-...

This is so unacceptable. There needs to be concerned for minors being left alone. Ice doesn't give a fuck about anyone

Cable news suddenly keeps mentioning “sleeper cells” in Iran. Heard it at least 3 times on CNN. Unbelievable 2003-style reporting malpractice, just spitballing ways of making Iran seem like a threat to Americans sitting at home watching tv

@aoc.bsky.social It appears Americans living abroad can no longer make campaign contributions while physically abroad. This is a huge change. How can Americans living abroad and physically abroad contribute to candidates?

Absolutely horrific. Shame on the University of Florida. NYT Article (sadly there is a paywall): www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/u...

How can it be that one entire polical party can subvert the Constitution with impunity? How does this make sense? What happened in the U.S.? One-third don't give a fuck and one-third is happy with losing our democracy? #makeitmakesense

NEW: The Trump administration is now claiming that they're detaining Mahmoud Khalil based on false allegations related to his green card application after a federal judge found that detaining him on foreign policy grounds was unconstitutional.

Even AP doesn't get it. How can they glorify this parade and this lying autocratic fascist?

Do I have this right? Israel has a right to defend itself by attacking Iran first, a country that doesn't have a right to defend itself? And all funded by U.S. taxpayers.

I guess he was too busy fucking the maids to notice that bipartisan immigration bill that the Orange Warlord killed??

When will it happen? It must be getting closer.
