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.

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

Some updated on "John Williams," the mole who infiltrated and rose in the ranks for domestic extremist organizations to expose them from within. Today, Proton published a documentary short about how he maintained his safety through extreme privacy measures.

ICE in Chicago this morning at Elston and Kennicott—a masked agent tells a witness (on the sidewalk) not to get in front of his car. Feds are continuing kidnappings across the city & burbs after increased activity this month. No flashy CBP caravans, just a steady stream of covert ICE arrests.

The left would have us believe that all cultures are equal. But in reality, some produce marvels while others turn out AI slop and descend into cocaine-fueled fascism. by Alex Karp

RFK Jr: We are doing more on maternal health than any other administration LEE: I said Black maternal health RFK Jr: Maternal health LEE: The thing is, they're not the same outcomes, which means we need specific interventions for Black maternal health RFK Jr: Can I finish?

They put a warning label on rap albums.

This is Elon Musk’s tweet from Feb 3, 2025 Within 1 year after Musk did this, Dr Brooke Nichols’ model had estimated that 762,000 died as a result of dismantling USAID, including more than 500,000 children (www.cidrap.umn.edu/chikungunya/...) Musk’s legacy? Hundreds of thousands of tiny coffins

Folks in LA, can you help find footage of this crime?

My worry about the end of Pax Americana and how bad this was gonna get was actually really correct

“Patriot Front, its leader — Thomas Rousseau — and members William Ring and Jacob Brown are ordered to pay over $470,000” www.wtvr.com/news/local-n...

We first unmasked (or not—Donahue never actually covers his face) two CBP agents in November at great personal risk as two reporters who have been repeatedly targeted by the feds, including with assaults and arrest. Since then, more and more outlets have felt comfortable naming agents:

The death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who was left on the freezing streets of Buffalo by Border Patrol officers, was ruled a homicide. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Not the most important thing, but why are they all tiny little men?

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

People with power are entirely capable of moralizing loudly all day and then absolutely refusing to live by those/any standards themselves. But let’s not assume that humiliation = accountability (or that exposure = humiliation even) lol though that this got broken in Washington Examiner??

Who doesn't love a good ol' "force everyone to share their gov't ID with Musk and Zuckerberg" bill?

age verification is identity verification. this is an identity verification bill. do you want to make everyone verify their identity to the state right now? does that seem prudent? that's going to keep people safe? the only safe data is the kind you don't collect

The list of pardoned Jan6 pedophiles continues to grow (thread, 1/15 or so)

Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump gets prison sentence for possessing 'enormous child pornography collection'

To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions.

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

Important to remember that many people got used to the National Guard posted up in DC very quickly, and folks outside of DC largely forgot it’s even happening. It doesn’t take long at all for it to be seen as normal.

In addition to being great factual reporting, this does a really good job of disambiguating all the things that get hustled in under the header of "AI," and the various sociotechnical and historical points at which that term has been used to mean those different things.

Just block cbarbermd.bsky.social People who share this shit don't deserve your attention. Only one way they learn.

The Flynn settlement is beyond ridiculous.Lawsuits are supposed to be adversarial; this is collusive. It's just, "hey mike help yourself to 1.25 M of taxpayer $." Among the 20 diff problems, he has to show a) he won & b) gov didnt have probable cause for the charges, which here were 100% righteous.

Please join me for a rousing round of: lol, get fucked aftermath.site/sora-shutdown-...

Airport lines are long because TSA agents aren’t getting paid. TSA agents aren’t getting paid because DHS funding is being held up in Congress. DHS funding being held up in Congress because Republicans want to illegally detain American citizens. And that’s what you missed on Glee.

i’ve always said the generally hellish experience of going through TSA would be improved by bringing in other federal agents with no understanding of airports who love to shoot people

ICE detention deaths are now occurring at a rate of roughly one every four days. Three weeks ago that rate was one every six days. The pace is accelerating, and Congress has not launched a single investigation.

Danish troops dispatched to Greenland in January took enough explosives to destroy the island’s main runways near the capital Nuuk and at a former fighter base, following Trump’s threats

I don't understand how this isn't getting much more publicity. Donald Trump is murdering Cuba for no reason.

Oh FFS Good luck, Noelle.

Q: “So, hundreds of millions of dollars in grants were terminated from the NEH. The deficit didn’t change much. And you were paid $150,000 to do that job of reducing the deficit. Do you feel like the $150,000 paid to you was wasteful spending?” A: *Laughs, frowns….long pause*

this is a radical position but I believe that if you are a person of integrity you should not be using far right wing propaganda websites owned by sociopaths

Charles Manson Concedes He Needs to Pivot on Murder Before Trial.

So nice of the NRSC to make the Christian argument for electing Talarico.

The mixture of fascism, grift, and incompetence that goes into making SECRET POLICE trucks for your secret police is such a good distillation of this administration

Can't wait to hear about how they just need one more $5 donation and our votes to stop Trump's agenda though

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

In the year of the Epstein, serial sex pest feels comfortable sharing his thoughts on children, religion and death. A man who has faced multiple allegations of assault and lawsuits from young men that worked for him.

Senator mocked ‘green energy crap.’ His house runs on it.

The footage appears to contradict President Donald Trump’s claim it was an Iranian missile that hit the school on Feb. 28. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

This morning, Trump rolled out a new, made up job for Kristi Noem, head of “Shield of the Americas.” Noem is essentially getting a paid vacation for the rest of his term to keep her from leaking stories about him.

I've been suffering with knowing who this guy is since early 2021. I think the rest of the nation should too.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it. 15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

If Dems had their own Fox News and other cogs of a propaganda machine, Andrew Paul Johnson would become a household name a la Willie Horton.

People don't just attack Congress and attempt to violently overthrow the government as a lark. These are terrible people who committed crimes before and will keep right on committing crimes until stopped forcibly. We stopped them, but Trump threw open the prisons so they could commit more crimes.
