you stupid mother fucker (markwayne not eugene) we tricked the entire world into sending their smartest hardest working people here and then tricked those same people into staying permanently instead of going back to their home country you are BLOWING UP OUR SPOT

When guys are like “that’s not rape, all my friends have done that,” that’s exactly what we’re talking about. That’s the problem. Rape is so common and unpunished that a guy could casually reveal all his friends are rapists and not see it as a problem.

"Everyone wants a revolution but no one wants to do the dishes" In my experience lots of people are ok to do the dishes and they're heroes and usually they are women, because women don't see that work as shameful. But men do not see that leadership as leadership and so women get fed up and leave.

Here's my Lindsey Graham obit. While most people are focused on his late career villian arc, I will never get over his sneering, hysterical defense of an alleged attempted rapist. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

We're gonna hold your hand when we say this: Taxing rich people like us more does not make us poor, or unable to keep investing in our businesses, or create jobs. That's a scare tactic used to keep taxes on the super-rich low and pass along the costs to working people.

this childish thrill at being able to commit violence was always part of Trump's whole deal and yet people across the political spectrum fort some reason decided to believe he was "anti-interventionist." fucking dumb and the people who suggested it should be treated as such

I don’t remember if Lindsey Graham or Brett Kavanaugh melted down first, but their back-to-back, angry outbursts are part of the reason Donald Trump didn’t pull the nomination after Christine Blasey Ford came forward.

ICE desperately wants you not to care about this story But we must. The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national striving for his American Dream, is a moral outrage, and a warning. ICE hopes you won't notice that mass deportation is back My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Daily Memo: ICE Is Detaining People Who Show The “Know Your Rights” Red Cards

THE US HAVING A WHITES-ONLY REFUGEE POLICY SHOULD BE A MUCH BIGGER STORY

Some light July 4th reading from @megelison.bsky.social

There are CONCENTRATION CAMPS in the US in the year 2026, and it’s up to all of us to protect our neighbors.

really cannot be emphasized enough that the drafters of the birthright clause very much considered cases analogous to undocumented immigrants and *included them too*

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

Been waiting for this story. ICE deports people to Venezuela three times a week, there are likely many more recent deportees with valid asylum claims in the rubble. Hope that GlobalX crew loses some sleep knowing they flew a planeload of shackled men & women, plus seven children, to their deaths.

In case anyone is under the impression that things are getting back to normal here in the U.S., yesterday 🧊 grabbed a fruit seller off the street in broad daylight in my community. This was only one of several kidnappings in the area yesterday. Don’t let the circus distract you from the ongoing harm

Injustice is as American as cherry pie But the outrageous 30-to-100-year sentences for the Prairieland 9 anti-ICE protesters mark a new low in punishing Americans for their ideas Progressives get virtual life sentences. Right-wingers get pardons. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/prai...

I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

The great American state fair being stupid Trump bullshit does legit make me sad, if I’m being honest. A lot of the 250 stuff does. This could have been a really cool and special thing and literally any normal president would have pulled it off.

“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

you know sometimes i don't like having an active imagination

Apparently, you're not allowed to post: “BREAKING: The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be indicted!”

I’m walking into court to fight for your rights. Trump wants to lock me up for 17 years for doing my job, conducting oversight of ICE and holding this administration accountable. The fight is hard, but if DHS wants to terrorize NJ-10, they’re going to have to answer to me first.

The theory that “electable” means “work to appease right-wing bigots under the assumption that majorities agree with them, at least partially, and they prioritize it when voting” has been tried. It has failed. Try something else.

i think the reflecting pool has gone from “haha what a dumb ass” to “appointing a horse to the senate” level of story here

The number of people who don't know about Rowling's extremism is concerning and it's a direct consequence of how British journalism operates, and how nepotistic and insular the media industry there is.

Remember, it's only a waste of taxpayer money when it is something that is being done to help other people

The name went up in hours. Workers on scissor lifts, done overnight. Taking it down required scaffolding, took all day, and still missed the court deadline. That asymmetry is structural. Capture moves at the speed of power. Accountability moves at the speed of law. One is always faster.

The interest focus of U.S. "business journalism" isn't real people, labor, technology, or whether the technology even works, it's unchecked wealth accumulation. And it's not subtle.

"Before you even get to Republicans being bad actors" — No. The *only reason* anyone gives a shit about California taking a week to tally votes is Republican bad faith. Stop pretending every fake GOP conspiracy has a kernel of truth to it. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The point is exactly the "don't care" part. How do you think we can ever change that if we don't condemn sexual harassment and violence against women every time we see it? Instead we get a bunch of shitty men saying "I don't see the big deal". So that's the point.

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

As ICE ramps up their bullshit for the summer, a reminder that me and a whole bunch of other folks will get whistles out to you, for free, in quantities of 100 to thousands, to distribute in your communities. Just send a request here linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

No, Sweetie, my rights as an American citizen should not be reduced to a "culture war." If your "culture" is permitting and encouraging discrimination against LGBTQ people, something is fucking wrong with you, and I am not here to make you feel better about that.

The slow disappearance of public amenities in general -- benches, toilets, etc -- has made a lot of public spaces relentlessly and intentionally hostile

Privatizing prisons and detention facilities is one of the worst public policy decisions this country has ever made. bsky.app/profile/atru...

There's a strong incentive for us as human beings "not to believe" anything that calls on us to do anything different than what we are used to doing.

I have sat face to face with detainees inside Delaney—high schoolers, elderly folks, a pregnant woman, people detained while waiting for court hearings. They told us the horrible conditions they face: lack of medical care, moldy food. Delaney Hall needs to be shut down.

happy birthday america, i got you the corpse of a 30 year old one hit wonder shuffling around in front of a fight pit next to a giant hole in the ground that used to be the east wing all at the pleasure of an octogenarian rapist with dementia

We need our Members of Congress to respond to the immediate crisis that immigrants in detention centers like Delaney Hall are facing. That means investigating ICE’s detention facilities, exposing the horrifying conditions, and blocking any additional funding for ICE and Border Patrol.

It speaks so badly of our attention economy that John Fetterman is the topic of endless conversation for being an unhinged jerk, while Andy Kim from right next door gets such little hype for being a decent human being

a good portion of what people mean by “crime” is “visible homeless people, some of whom are behaving erratically“

The dude who runs Twitter, controls your feed, and makes money off your posts is on week two of posting about how Chris Nolan casting a black woman as a beautiful woman is anti-white genocide. I do not want to write for that guy for free, which is what you're doing when you post to his platform.

Based on everything we keep seeing I just don’t know how people are so reflexively defensive of Obama, Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, Jeffries etc. They’ve all fucking failed us. Their job was/is to fight the right and they don’t do it.

SB1105, “Protect California Rights Acts” is under attack by CA Police Chiefs and unions. Call your CA state senators and tell them you need this to pass to protect our communities from ICE using local police against them. SPREAD THE WORD
