This Michigan/Michigan St. game is very fun

Many people are asking "why don't other politicians do this" and the answer is BECAUSE they don't want you to understand this shit and they want you to just trust they know what they're doing when they're secretly fuck you over. Look at the funding bill!

So, Republicans support court packing. Good to know.

It’s crazy how few people seem to know that Presidential Cabinet level direction to carry out an action after a career public servant resigns in protest is a five alarm your-government-is-on-fire level emergency that a functioning congress is basically mandated by the constitution to investigate

Since last year, we’ve been reporting on ICE extensively. But every week brings new information, and it’s getting harder to keep track of what’s happening, let alone remember what’s already happened. So here’s a quick thread to help.

Students have walked out of SLC's Clayton Middle School & plan to march two miles to Liberty Park.

This release is proof there are people in the DoJ who still take their oaths seriously, and illustrates why Trump and his cronies have declared war on them. “unelected bureaucrats” executing their oaths to America in accordance with the law are foundational to our system of government.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Goddamnit, this sucks

The fact the demands didn’t include firing or impeaching Noem is inexcusable. Now is the time to start clawing back the power to hold the executive accountable the legislature has been giving away.

next he’s going to tell us we have a tradition of mounting bayonet charges into a human sea of seditionists and heroically turning the tide in America’s most epochal conflicts as the battle hymn of the republic plays in the background, and also that’s bad

Reuters be like:

Maybe I’m weird, but I feel like some intrepid political party could probably assemble a coalition comprised of the -90% of Americans who would support banning these sorts of liberty-destroying government tactics.

Holy shit he did it

Journalist Georgia Fort, about to be arrested by ICE for doing journalism, peers out her front door on the left as, on the right a masked, bespectacled ICE agent peers in her window. Is this a scene from Scream? From Brazil? It is, as a former student of mine would say, *dark shit.*

Lots of reactionary thinkers have written about the biases of the media and The Groups recently, but all that pales in comparison to what’s happening on the right. Vance, Hegseth, Bondi, Patel etc spend multiple hours a day on Twitter like-maxxing U.S. gov policy for fascist trolls and Russian bots

This is true. But IMO Dems aren’t wrong about the real political folly of opening yourself up to being successfully labeled “anti-law-enforcement” where they are wrong is in ceding any ground on that to Trump and his goons running the most corrupt and lawless administration in American history.

now this is fucking thinking like an appropriator. speaking as a federal bureaucrat, do you know how many completely fucking absurd rules there are making it next to impossible to do our jobs? how many forms I have to file to hire anyone? put a few dozen of those restrictions on ICE...

been seeing a remarkable amount of reactionary only-read-the-misleading-headline-that-confirmed-my-priors-and-now-i’m-gonna-be-angry-about-it on this website today. Feel like I’m back on Twitter… and they say Bluesky doesn’t have the juice!

I cant believe the illiteracy site didnt read an article and instead just used a clickbaity headline as an excuse to lay into one of their favorite targets for invective

If you think these are just being built to hold illegal immigrants I have some real estate on a beautiful island in the bering sea just for you. Once in a lifetime opportunity!!

Impeachable offense, or nah?

I think there needs to be a national law that allows individuals and organizations to prohibit Gaming companies from taking bets on them.

There’s a theory that, in a world of pervasive conspiracy theorizing, suppressing the wildest theories just allows the most plausible (the “fittest”) to circulate and take root. Maybe letting everyone see just how preposterous his allegations actually are isn’t a bad idea.

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Frankly, things are so immediate and intense in Minnesota right now that it feels like people in other places talking about other things might as well be on the moon. This is especially the case when people from elsewhere talk about how much things have changed here when they clearly haven’t

Maybe I'm just an old curmudgeon but why are we interviewing early 20 somethings about anything? These are babies who haven't lived in the world. I would've said some rock-headed shit like this if they interviewed me when I was 23. It's not a real thing, man.

Seems like a good video for his trial

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Just so we’re clear, “in theater” is the military term for operations and deployment on foreign soil. They are acknowledging, and proudly so, they are conducting a military invasion of the state of Minnesota and demanding that Minnesota cooperate or face more invasion. That’s it. No notes.

It’s going to be a litmus test for Democrats seeking election in November whether or not they spend next 9 months taking every opportunity to get in front cameras call out the “unlawful acts” and aggressive escalations of the Trump administration There’s zero space for bothsides bullshit here

Just realized I have a longer version of this video. At the start, you can clearly see the feds piling out of the cars to attack Pretti and then spray pepper balls, antagonizing the crowd.

the fact that anyone would think an additional video of ICE engaging in unjustified police brutality against an angry American citizen would somehow justify their summary execution of that same citizen days later just tells you how fucking off the rails they are.

Okay so I was actually at this encounter, filmed the aftermath, and am briefly visible in this video, and I would point out that what he does here is briefly kick a car twice. ICE beats him up, shoots pepper balls into the crowd, and launches tear gas at everyone else before leaving.

Lauri seems way out of sync the last two games. Nothing really working for him

using federal resources to illegally seize the goods of another country and then diverting the proceeds to accounts only the president can control is the kind of thing the framers would’ve seen these men hanged for

this is the year to dare to dream. we could steal 2-4 senate seats for 6 years we'll never win under different circumstances

An extraordinary document. Read it. “Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

The best example of this was last week when Greg Bovino spent an entire rolling between Minneapolis gas stations in a massive convoy, his entourage beating up and tear gassing countless people, posing against the crowds… and then it was all so they could complain we wouldn’t let them use a restroom

Good thing for Bondi the government unwittingly creating next generation of American leaders as they try make activists into criminals isn’t an American tradition or anything.

Requiring ICE to coordinate with local law enforcement is just being like “support local!” when it comes to police abuse.

Bo Jackson in Techmo Bowl.

fun fact: In US history there has been only one or two periods of increasing unemployment like we saw in 2025 that didn’t directly precede a recession When unemployment goes up this consistently for months it usually precedes a spike/recession, and only starts going back down on the other side

This was always going to be the result of DOGE hack and slash and MAGA/MAHA war on expertise. The best and brightest are the first to go. Also the main reason MAGA is not sustainable. it’s regressive and reductive by design and purpose. It cannot create, only consume and destroy.

Rand Paul laying bare the bullshit. As does anyone who takes 5 minutes to really think through political spin.

If you live outside the United States, I'm sure the senator's office would love to hear how much more you respect the United States now that Donald Trump is president again. Here's his number: (202) 224-5251

Been doing this for over a decade now. The existence of Donald Trump has made every single utterance of this phrase a demonstrable falsehood since he became a serious contender for the Presidency of the United States.

Every single time a Trumpist says “the rhetoric of the left is putting people in danger,” wave your middle finger in their face, because they are lying shitbirds without any principles.

so fucking embarrassing to watch my senator lick Marco Rubio’s ball’s. Have a little self respect, Sen. Curtis. fucking hell

wake up babe the right is doing drapetomania for white women engaging in race treason bsky.app/profile/hann...
