If you only knew how much of tech's energy is devoted to building better tools for abusers

Imagine being a kid in Chicago and having a Black Hawk helicopter land on your roof, then being zip tied and dragged from your home in the middle of the night. Time for the DA and state AG to convene grand juries about this dangerous and illegal misconduct by federal agents.

The inability of Dems to be everywhere, saying everything, all at once, in the exact words you require, in the tone of voice that inspires you, is not “being silent.”

They keep on lying in every single situation that happens. Basically at this point they have to prove that what they're saying is true and not the other way around. This keeps happening over and over again. Every single time. They're not credible.

And, I have no idea what those texts are about. They probably are vile. IDK. IDC. But, I *do* know that any criticism of Republicans has to be put in the mouth of a Democrat to ensure it is cast as partisan

No “critics say,” or “alleged” or other modifier. The quotation marks around the word “vile” are mine. Can anyone not think of a single example of where CNN described any GOP statement or act as “vile”? Even Charlie Kirk?

ICE detained her son—now his mom says he's just disappeared. "He called me panicking," she said. "I said, 'Where are you going?' he did not know and he only had 30 seconds to talk to me." Isai Cabrera has lived in U.S. since he was 7 months old—and is adopted by U.S. citizens.

i mean, this behavior follows naturally for a platform whose algorithm is constantly showing violence/gore right alongside weird memes and in-jokes. it all ends up fusing together for some users but the end result is largely numbing and dehumanizing

Hey I’m not the one who keeps falling for the exact same grift. Y’all swore Sinema was progressive. Then Gabbard. Then Fetterman. Now the Blackwater guy. We aren’t the centrists, Honeybucket.

This looks like Hogg is glomming on to what will likely be a win even if his group does absolutely nothing, then he can put it in the win column.

Perry: "If I were the government, I might strongly consider taking a pause on this until Thursday, so that we are not in a position where we are doing a full-fledged hearing with whatever has happened."

Whiskey Pete is having difficulties with basic invasion paperwork. legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Breaking MSNBC: A top prosecutor in Virginia has informed colleagues she plans to decline to seek charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James — resisting intense pressure from Trump, according to two people familiar with her discussions. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjJ_... A very good convo on the "narco-terrorist" claim the Trump administration is making and how utterly baseless it is. No country can just arbitrarily declare someone a "narco-terrorist" and then blow them up in the ocean, it's just nonsense.

Fight harder and not play by the rules, but also limit your fundraising to only the purest of purity standards.

Thousands of federal agents once tasked with investigating drug smuggling, sexual exploitation and organized crime have been redirected to immigration enforcement. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4mRqotu

Bad news for recent Bluesky bannees

I have seen almost zero of this drama because I don't follow Jay & I had already blocked almost all of the people involved after seeing their insane posting history.

Then move her back to the prison she belongs in!

Accurately reports the election results for 2026 and 2028

Fuck this Blackwater mercenary asshole now pretending to be a leftist because he knows leftists are the easiest marks on Earth. And complaining about fundraising texts while spamming people with fundraising texts… how does anyone fall for this shit?!

The party that hid racism and misogyny behind “state’s rights” for decades now has control of every branch of the federal government. They’re waging war on states in the name of racism and misogyny and laughing at the whole idea of state’s rights.

A teacher shared a quote that didn’t mention Charlie Kirk & had nothing to do with him but because MAGA are the biggest snowflakes alive, she might lose her job. Next week (10/13) the board will meet to determine her firing & Oathkeepers are already organizing to speak in favor of her being fired.

This footnote to Illinois and Chicago's lawsuit against Trump is an important reminder: * There is no Department of War or Secretary of War, which are make-believe names for the actual agencies created by Congress. Doc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I am seeing this defended as "A joke", and- way to beat the "permanently stuck as a channer shitlord" allegations, people. I remember when this site rightly identified "It's just a prank, bro!" and "Ever heard of dark humor, buddy?" as pathetic fig leafs for being an antisocial dickhead.

Its crazy how much our political news media landscape is basically just a bunch of media/political elites standing in a circle to sniff each others farts.

While we are in the midst of a government shutdown that Democrats forced the issue on and then rather deftly managed to keep their talking points for it more organized than the GOPs

This blessed me on today! #Scandal #Olivia #Fitz

James Baldwin to Angela Davis in 1970, discussing white Americans:

My goodness, Baldwin could had written this last week.

A page of IL's lawsuit describes the economic harm Noem's goons do to a city. legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Jake Sherman making it exceedingly clear exactly what sort of hack he is

"race does not matter, it is all class and we are all in this together" IS racism.

The majority party in Congress sets the voting schedule. House Republicans canceled votes for all of the entire week. They haven't scheduled a vote since September 19.  Remember that the next time they try to blame the shutdown on Democrats.

So much this. Every campaign I’ve ever worked on refreshed its voter data very regularly - as often as the Board of Elections released updates. Voting as early as possible is the easiest way to get off those lists sooner. Like, are you *really* still undecided?! Really?!?

In 2020, my U.S. Senate fundraising was split 60/40 between Competitive and Long Shot races. IN 2024, it was an 86/14 split...basically a 6:1 ratio, which is much closer to what I think makes sense (I think around 4:1 is about right myself).

I raised a quarter of a million dollars for her myself, and I've raised over $21 million directly for hundreds of Democrats, including plenty of long shot races. My point is that Dem *donors* need to learn to FIND A MIDDLE GROUND between "swing seat" and "long shot" races.

This is notable because the government isn’t supposed to indefinitely hold people in immigration detention just for funsies if it doesn’t plan to remove the person any time soon. Abrego’s counsel has raised SCOTUS case law to that effect in seeking his release bsky.app/profile/anna...

Hey, you guys? Is it a good sign or a bad sign if a federal judge has to remind you (multiple times) that you’re a lawyer and an officer of the court?

No JB Pritzker definitely called for the 25th And they’re not legislating because speaker Johnson shut down the house for another week…. And the rest, they are absolutely doing. In fact some of it is literally in today’s post.

Reminder: Judge Immergut was appointed to the bench by Donald J. Trump.

Immergut: What I'll do is not modify my original TRO but issue a new TRO that prohibits the relocation or deployment of any federalized national guard to the state of Oregon....

Immergut: The question is the scope. I see the defendants' conduct as being in direct contravention of the court's order issued yesterday....I am troubled by the defendant's conduct, but have some concern about the breadth of the alternative relief requested during tonight's hearing

Immergut: I'm handling this on expedited basis, but defendants haven't provided new info. SHE RULES FROM THE BENCH: I grant the plaintiffs motion for a second TRO based on reasons stated in previous order...

In real time during hearing, Judge Immergut grants Oregon/California's motion for another temporary restraining order - now talking through scope of relief based on "conduct of defendants," which she sees in "direct contravention" to first order

JULIO RODRIGUEZ COMES UP CLUTCH PUTTING THE MARINERS BACK IN FRONT 3-2 IN THE 8TH WITH A DOUBLE

To any reporters who disputed what Gov. Pritzker said on Sept. 2 he believed the Texas National Guard was being considered, please remember to not take the statements of Trump, Noem, or Abbott at face value. Many turn out to be lies.

Pritzker’s comms director.

I would just like to remind everyone that stephen miller is in fact NOT a lawyer. Thank you.

Oregon then filed a motion for a second restraining order, and the state of California joined Oregon's suit. Additionally, the government filed a notice of appeal to the 9th Circuit with respect to the first injunction issued by Immergut.
