During the anti-ICE school walkouts in January, a group of students in Chandler were targeted by an armed agitator. Turns out it was Phoenix PD Sergeant Dusten Mullen. He admitted his plan was to try to get purposely assaulted so the teenager protesters would all get arrested (it didn’t work).

This is a supervillain monlogue. I will never understand how anyone can watch this man say things like “a whole civilization will die tonight” and fail to recognize evil when they see it.

1. A new study claims trans care worsens mental health. It is fatally flawed. It didn't measure mental health—it measured psych visits. Even visits that stemmed from mandatory checkins, surgical pre-psych evals, or pre-treatment that was classified as post. Subscribe to support our journalism.

In honor of Michigan clinching the NCAA here's my multi year goal to capture the full milky way arch over a body of water, taken last July over Lake Superior from a state park in Michigan. 🗺️

We are sorry to hear of the passing of Yoshihisa Kishimoto, creator of the legendary Double Dragon and Kunio-kun (River City) series. WayForward was greatly inspired by his works, and it was an honor to explore the universe he created.

One reason for journalists to be on BlueSky is that it’s the only social media platform I’m aware of that still doesn’t downrank links to news and other sites. The corporate socials all seem to have adopted a casino approach to their users: lure in with shiny objects and *never show them an exit.*

"To have your child abused while in the government's care, to not understand what has happened or how to protect them, to not even be told about the abuse, it is unimaginable," said an attorney representing the girl. https://to.pbs.org/3PV4hr9

Every Castlevania game is about going into a room and there’s just some asshole.

flags flown from us government buildings - american flag - department flag - state flag - local flag - the "rambo 2 is real" flag

it's kind of funny how people don't include uncapping the house as one of the reforms that would probably be worthwhile doing

Now I’m just a backwoods small town hyperchicken, but it seems to me that if a company is big enough to existentially threaten the government then you don’t actually have a functioning government anymore.

Good news, folks. Everyone blaming GenAI are the best type of correct, technically correct.

Vought has in fact written about his belief that the president is an elected dictator.

oh good Lord Kentucky House impeached a judge, saying she abused her authority & was biased in favor of Black defendants their evidence? the judge's statement acknowledging the state's pattern of charging white defendants with lesser offenses and giving them better offers than defendants of color

Last year I rewatched Utena and drew this poster. And... I think it's time to show it?? 🤺

The black POW/MIA flag represents a conspiracy theory from the 80s that for some reason Vietnam and Laos decided to keep thousands of American prisoners of war secretly captive for decades after the war ended. A shocking number of people still believe this

Remember that time when ICE shot a man as he fled into his home and then claimed he beat an agent with a snowshovel? And we were all like "you're lying"? They were lying www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/u...

I think especially because the news media has recently demonstrated what "we think the president is incompetent and that he should not be in office" looks like in how they covered Biden post-debate and don't do the same for Trump

I love this movie

If an Iranian soldier was stuck in the mountains in the US, the UK, Israel, or Germany, & every American or British or Israeli or German boy or man from 16 to 60 walking within 3km of him was killed by drones, would any politician or media call it anything other than murder?

Just to be clear, Donald Trump does not care if a bunch of journalists wear pocket squares with the First Amendment written on them as a “protest.” First of all, the man is functionally illiterate

Gundam alex aka rx78-nt-1 for terminal on kofi, thanks again fro trusting me !

How many thousands of people are gonna get charged $70 a month because they didn't read to the third paragraph of this fucking email

A President simply cannot do this. It’s not like “controversial” or “breaking norms.” The President not controlling our money is the main structural support beam of American democracy. It’s the whole fucking thing. You let him do this, you have ended the separation of powers.

An opposition party would not be on vacation right now. They would have coordinated message to the public about the fact that a President in cognitive decline is threatening more war crimes. They would be BLASTING the message on all available platforms.

Not to mention mall restrictions, closing arcades, and they defunded every bit of teen programming possible at the libraries, closed all the community centers, and refuse to fund after-school and weekend events...

Impeachment is not some special exception from normal politics where you shouldn't say it unless you already have the votes in hand. You go out and plainly advocate what you think should be done, and attack those who refuse to do it, just like on anything else.

At least Ahab had a clear and well defined goal

We gotta kill car dealerships specifically in the states. Just a pure force of evil. Aside from being weird archaic middle men they are a rock solid fundraising source for republicans.

The other element here is that there are innumerable ways those in formal positions of power can engage in non-cooperation that would jam up the administration but very few of those are actually happening.

Advocates say ICE arrests continue daily across Chicagoland, even as tactics grow more targeted and less visible.

They’re going to try the return to normalcy shtick and sit on their hands while the ratchet will keep turning right

they only want to talk about the economy because trump is fucking up the bag for their donors. they don’t have red lines on principals because they broadly agree with their GOP colleagues.

the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing. they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran. for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

My most cynical read on the lack of rhetoric around this from a lot of Dem candidates is that they don't plan to do any of this because a new precedent has been set, and they're _excited_ for when it's their turn

Criterion Channel keeps streaming classic anime, and I'm all for it. In addition to Ghost in the Shell and Gunbuster, they've now got Gatchaman. www.criterionchannel.com/gatchaman-th...

cannot stress enough how much this tweet is not only my guiding star for character writing but also the only thing that enables me to write conversations at all

Favorite moment in 2024 was when Chuck Schumer did a big fancy super historic speech in Congress where he said Netanyahu was an existential threat to Israel and that Israel needed snap elections ASAP and then two months later he invited Netanyahu to DC to give a campaign speech for Trump.

It really cannot be overstated that COVID happened, suddenly a bunch of absentee tech dads were forced to stay home where they saw their kids playing Animal Crossing while talking on Discord, then collectively decided to light a trillion dollars on fire to make Snow Crash IRL.

"The President can do anything he wants to unless 2/3rds of the Senate agrees to convict the President" is not how the Constitution was set up or how any sane system of governance works. That describes a de facto status quo maybe but that status quo is clearly unacceptable bsky.app/profile/scra...

I said it back in early 2025 but Elon Musk seizing the Treasury's payment systems and the federal payroll systems from career bureaucrats was one of the most important steps in achieving Trump's coup against our Constitution and no one was paying attention

Van Gogh spent a lot of time in Arles, France. There's a restaurant that used to be a hotel where Van Gogh stayed and in a letter he wrote that the food was bad and they overcharged him for wine. Directly next door, sharing a wall, is this Dragonball-themed barbershop.

The wealthy ruling class has stolen so much from the people who actually do the work to keep society running that it's not a handout at this point. They owe us.
