EXCLUSIVE: Last year, ICE arrested a Connecticut man who served as an interpreter with U.S. forces in Afghanistan. On Monday, it arrested his son. My latest @ctinsider.bsky.social story — www.ctinsider.com/news/article... #nutmegsky

Democrats act like this is some massive puzzle when it’s not. Even before Trump there was a well-funded network aimed at keeping student activists in line, mostly by threatening them (doxing trucks, etc.). Now, you can get death threats AND be detained by ICE. Isn’t complicated.

“The footage also showed the agents laughing over their use of tear gas and celebrating so-called Triple-Chaser canisters as ‘fucking awesome.’”

we need a larger-stronger congress and ranked choice voting with multi member districts so we can have a multi party system and they can vote for centrists. (and then hopefully the centrists will frequently work with a liberal plurality.)

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

Y’all I have just been informed that astronauts make between $104,000 and $160,000 per year. They’re at the gd moon and we’re paying them the salary of a medium okay tech guy in Seattle 😭

Yeah I have never been more sure something was up with the quality of the underlying assets of private credit. This is as close to a “my shirt that says we’re nothing like the banks during the great financial crisis” tweet as we’ve had yet

May all jurors feel this way.

we should have a third industry besides AI and gambling

Translation: they are doing it. finance.yahoo.com/economy/poli...

Rich people shoplift, serial killers kill people, and Trump plays this particular game of chicken with reality. No one has ever successfully held him to account, and, being a deeply evil, broken man, he gets turned on by doing worse and worse things. He just needs a new fix.

Damn. Even Bush denied him and the jackass just went along because he thought it will be something personally in it for him.

The middle class doesn’t exist anymore. Unless you’re very wealthy, you are far closer to becoming homeless and/or bankrupt than you realize. It can happen in an instant and can be nearly impossible to recover from. Better social safety nets benefit everyone.

What an insane self-inflicted wound ... and to the entire global economy.

Defund and prosecute ICE.

OpenAI wants to be off the hook if its frontier AI models go rogue and cause 100+ deaths or more than $1 billion in financial damages. from @mzeff.bsky.social

Just a reminder that Miller is still running this regime and the guy Trump turns to whenever he needs his Comfort Nazi.

Also important to note that last week, when Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling was asked by a reporter what police should do if ICE violate that law, he denied such a law existed.

The NYT bends over backwards to pretend that Israel is “Striking Hezbollah” rather than “Keeps Slaughtering Innocent Civilians Including Dozens of Children.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

Reminder that people lost their jobs for saying Trump and his administration were racist

these people ever again. So I smiled and said, "Sherman didn't go far enough." And turned my back to them and looked at the paperback I'd brought with me.

The workshop instructor tried to get me to notice that I was assuming facts not in evidence (ie that this dude believed that racism was bad and that he was trying to portray the character in a negative light), and when that failed, tried to redirect me it did not work I was too oblivious

It's legitimately impressive they could make tech *this* inaccurate.

Reminder that the risks of vaccines are so dramatically outweighed by the risks of the diseases they prevent that it's frankly ludicrous to suggest it's not worth it. 500 children per year were dying of measles prior to the vaccine. It has a mortality rate of 1 in 1,000. Imagine if the vax did.

If you go to Facebook you can comment on the U.S. Forest Service’s recent post. They’re calling out our movement because major businesses are now speaking up and that’s got them rattled. They’re spreading lies to sell you on their demolition of the Forest Service. Don’t buy it.

Metro Detroiter here. A) This article is unfettered bigotry. B) The Middle Eastern community here predates the IRGC. C) Dearborn's Middle Eastern community is distinctly not Iranian.

cis women transphobes are as embarassing as they are revolting because they will declare with their whole chest “I am less capable than a man and I demand you treat me accordingly by lowering your expectations!” girl shut the fuck up there’s no gender advantage in CHESS

"This history-killer memo attempts to undo this route for public access to presidential records and build a brick wall where there once was a window into the highest office in the land...the DOJ is effectively claiming that the presidency has private ownership over the American story."

Games like darts, billiards, bowling and chess completely give away what's going on. The ONLY reason to segregate these sports by sex in the first place is because men cannot emotionally handle losing to women. The ONLY reason to lock out trans people is bigotry.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

A big reason we are in this constitutional crisis is that Republicans like Kevin McCarthy refused to break with Trump after January 6th. McCarthy backed Trump during a visit to Mar-a-Lago just weeks after Jan. 6. This was after McCarthy publicly admitted that Trump was culpable for the attack.

A Black congresswoman faces 17 years in prison for visiting an ICE facility. Jan. 6 rioters got pardons. Trump’s DOJ isn’t pursuing justice; it’s sending a message to every member of Congress who dares do oversight. Stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver. @replamonica.bsky.social

Schools are like "hey lock up your cell phones they're too damaging to the learning process. now please open up your lying plagiarism machine and start generating content"

I am so angry. Two Durham, NC kids - 11-year-old Genesis and 6-year-old Denis of Burton Elementary Magnet School - were taken by ICE at their regular asylum case appointment, and immediately deported without due process. Follow SiembraNC on IG or FB or @siembranc.bsky.social for next action steps.

In 2024, we taught college students that protesting gets you tear gassed, suspended and possibly unable to get your degree. And people are wondering why young people seem under represented at protests.

Colleges, acting "in loco parentis" for folks outside their parents' homes for the first time, responded to demonstrations by unleashing police. Against unarmed 19 year olds. Seems pretty obvious to me why - at least among college students - we're not observing mass mobilizations.

"Young people will save us!" "The next generation will lead the way!" Meanwhile, *educators* took active vengeance against them for trying (even if you disagree with their messages) in order to curry favor with the current regime.

I wrote about how US media is laundering authoritarian anti-gender politics through a frame of viewing restrictions on trans people as being led by progressive European countries rather than the reality that it is illiberal autocratic states. www.thedissident.news/the-launderi...

Jones, Carlson, Owens, etc, are at war with Trump because their audiences are turning on Trump, and they have to follow their audience or else the $$$ stops coming in. They helped get him into office TWICE, and until they express contrition for that, their turn on Trump is just brand preservation.

that’s it. i cannot support donald trump anymore

"At least two potential 2028 Democratic nominees may have played a role in killing the resolution, with one DNC member telling Politico they received direct calls from the presidential hopefuls expressing concern about the resolution."

I have a pretty broad understanding of human history, and I cannot think of a time when such a huge percentage of a society was so ready to form a popular resistance and yet was so utterly failed by the incompetent fools who could ostensibly lead it.

The Trump campaign spent $222 million on anti-trans ads. ADF's budget exceeds $100M. Chris Rufo has openly admitted to manufacturing moral panic as a political strategy. These aren't "conspiracy theories." These are documented facts. Singal dismisses them without ever actually addressing them.

David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.

THREAD: The Massachusetts House just advanced a draconian and unconstitutional social media ban bill. "This legislation would have kicked Greta Thuneberg off social media before she organized her first climate protest. How does that make kids safer?" www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-04...

This moment isn't about the R or the D next to your name. This is bigger than party. It’s about our state and our country. And the question is this: who does Mike Rogers actually stand for?
