Jan 6: all crowd, no porta-potties. FREEEDOM250 (sic): all porta-potties, no crowd.

Good to see this after all our shouting into the wilderness for years about this very topic LOL. In all seriousness, this is very well done.

"The funniest possible outcome of the AI mandate era is about to be HR departments discovering that 'sincerely held religious belief' under Title VII has a much lower bar than they assumed, and Pope Leo handed every Catholic employee a written excuse" www.businessinsider.com/worker-got-r...

Tyler Dykes, who attended J6 and the Unite the Right rally, is running for congress in South Carolina (SC-1). He appeared on a neo-Nazi podcast last month that's part of the '88streams' podcast network. 88 is a codeword for Heil Hitler. The podcaster is a former member of Goyim Defense League.

“Darryl Brown, a sergeant in the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office, was caught with the missing items after the photojournalist [Angelina Katsanis, on assignment at Delaney Hall for the AP] used a geo-tracking device to trace her missing gear to his home, the state’s attorney general said Thursday.”

God, I hate bullshit AI slop that passes as news. Neither of these are Christian Castro, the ICE agent arrested in Texas for four counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon in Minnesota. ("unbelievable world" should be a tip-off!)

SCOOP: Last year, Dan Berulis filed a whistleblower complaint against DOGE at the NLRB. Elon Musk boosted a post calling it false. The next day, Berulis' brake lines were cut. Now he's filed a defamation suit against Musk. @wired.com www.wired.com/story/he-ble...

"All the agents who had been to Minnesota told me they never wanted to go back, for any reason."

“I bet that picture looks cool as hell,” the ICE agent said to a photographer shot with pepper balls numerous times that day as he tried to take photos. “Can you tag me on Instagram?” An essay on chasing ICE by @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social:

There’s a lot of confusion and misinformation about the Delaney protests, and most of the writing is not capturing what has been going on. I am so tired I can barely keep my eyes open, and social media is not the forum for addressing all of this, but please be skeptical of clickbait influencers.

“We were documenting the agents to make sure the public saw their violence. The agents just thought they were in the eye of the paparazzi.” Great piece by Amanda Moore

Greg Bovino will speak at a white nationalist conference in Portugal tomorrow. He will share the stage with no fewer than five people who idolize Hitler, including one who joined a group created by two Nazi SS members. Another guy is a self-described racist who refers to women as "cockroaches."🧵

good on senator kim for standing in harm’s way. i said it in 2020 and it’s truer every day: i don’t want to vote for a politician who won’t get pepper sprayed for our rights. get out there and try. try something. stand in their way. make them move you.

Firing firearms, how does it work?

Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.

HOLY SHIT prosecutors kicked off grand jurors and then re-presented the case against the Broadview 6, then altered the grand jury transcripts to hide it from the judge. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Did you know that the U.S. is at war in Somalia? While it's received hardly any media attention, the U.S. has carried out at least 190 strikes there during Trump's second term. From Somalia to Iran to the Caribbean and beyond, Congress must rein in Trump's reckless militarism. #WarIsNotTheAnswer

ProPublica used leaked tax returns to calculate that through complex tax avoidance schemes, Jeff Bezos pays a tax rate of 0.98% www.propublica.org/article/the-... So if we doubled the taxes he pays, that would mean he'd still be paying less than 2%.

OTOH, focusing on who does or does not get paid from the slush fund just glosses over the stark fact that the president of the US fucking stole 2 billion dollars from the treasury for his personal use.

The Trump $1.776 billion slush fund is not mere corruption. Trump is giving his brownshirts money for recruiting, logistics, AR-15's and tactical gear. Nobody in the national media seems to be talking about this, or about how the Paycheck Protection Program played a central role in funding Jan 6

Check out capitol rioter Peter Schwartz of Kentucky, pardoned by trump and waiting in line for part of the $2Billion of your tax money trump stole for his slush fund.

The @seditionhunters.bsky.social website has an entire page dedicated to the criminal histories of Jan6 rioters Trump pardoned and now plans to reward from the stolen $2B slush fund. Past criminal behavior is all over the map, with over 230 rioters listed. seditionhunters.org/criminal-his...

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

QANON: Expose the pedophiles! Also QANON: No not like that.

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

This is exactly the way. Find some awful Jan6 story from your state, your CD, and start talking relentlessly about it, asking people if they want to pay that criminal.

Reup: It's not surprising Todd Blanche lied to @vanhollen.senate.gov abt reading the WaPo today. What's NUTTY is that Todd Blanche relied on WaPo story to argue, unsuccessfully, that DOJ weaponized against Trump on Jan6. He literally told Judge Chutkan he read WaPo. emptywheel.net/2026/05/19/t...

NEW: Trump DOJ official Ed Martin privately told a GOP ally earlier this year that big paydays were coming for Jan. 6 defendants. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

You know what's darkly funny, all the Jan6 cop assaulters the FBI failed to arrest won't even have the bona-fides to be eligible for the stolen slush fund.

It was always the case that normies hated the pardons. We should have never stopped harping on those in 2025. Now, Trump is stealing $$ from normies while they're already hurting to pay off terrorists. That's gross on three levels, and Republicans are already hemorrhaging support.

@emptywheel.bsky.social is right, trump has given us a do-over on our collective failure to truly hold him accountable for Jan6. Lotta horrible people from red states in this thread. Call your senators/congresspeople and ask if they're cool with handing them cash payments from the stolen slush fund!

One way to think of this is that WE ALL FAILED miserably to hang Jan6 on Trump in 2024. Trump has given us a 2nd chance to do that, made all the easier bc 1) This is fucking corrupt as hell 2) GOP is already underwater 3) Voters already recognize Trump is corrupt. Here's our chance for a redo.

and now, your moment of zen. 🎥 (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYhEwUvv67q/)

Reminder that Ed Martin is currently part of the Trump administration as the US Pardon Attorney. The idea that Blanche and the DOJ knew nothing about this scheme is absurd. h/t @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social for the story. theintercept.com/2025/02/04/j...

Dems should have asked Blanche about far more than just Andrew Johnson.

No idea if any of my followers know who Bill Laswell is, good on you if you do, but damn. Help the guy out.

New from me: Trump said Unite the Right was a "total fake." We all know better. Me especially. I was at UTR, and heard the screams when James Fields killed Heather Heyer. I sat through the four-week trial of the organizers. Here with receipts. (gift link) www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

Heckuva job, Robbie.

From the you-can't-make-this-up department.

This has to be the funniest question AND response I've ever seen in a poll. Less than half of Republican men think they could beat Trump in a fight. What a bunch of pathetic losers.

EXCLUSIVE: Since SCOTUS ruled in Callais v. Louisiana, we’ve been answering questions about what it means for elections. But one still stands: who is Callais, one of the plaintiffs who targeted the state’s second majority-Black district? He’s an election denier who attended the Jan. 6 protest.

Love to fill my car with $2 oil at the local oil station like a normal person who is very in touch with the real world.

It did not get enough attention (amid all the other really shitty news) that DOJ had to drop the felony conspiracy charge against @katmabu.bsky.social and her 3 (originally 5) co-defendants.

9. There are too many examples of how MAGA is running wild with this conspiracy theory to cite them all, but Elon Musk has been a super-spreader once again. As has David Sacks. Their posts are based on the lie that SPLC funded the “Unite the Right” rally - simply false.

the death of expertise strikes again

These are all public figures, in general. Would not be hard to figure out who attended. 3 best guesses below.

For what it is worth, these photos US President Donald Trump posted appear to be the same picture, manipulated in different directions. And the original photo is from July 2004, when George W. Bush was president.

this is the worst thing the trump admin has done, and it's not very close. probably a million dead already; 14 million expected by 2030. it's a horrific genocide that has few (some, but few) parallels in history.

Also a $100 to $600 rise is a 500% increase but whatever you say, brain-worm.
