NIN's masterpiece concept album Year Zero was written in response to the GW Bush administration and its policies, but boy does it hit frighteningly close to home in today's America. Survivalism, Captial G and God Given seem like they could have been written yesterday.

OPINION | From FBI searches to billion-dollar lawsuits, the Trump administration's actions threaten the free speech that is essential to democracy

DOJ has occasionally claimed that it needs to search reporters' records to find the source of a security leak. But that's pretty obviously not what they were doing when they searched the Post reporter's house. They arrested a suspect days ago, after more or less catching him in the act.

An administration that has done metaphorical cartoonish villainy at nearly every opportunity is now literally embracing cartoonish villainy

Abhorrent, but perfectly legal, thanks to the Supreme Court

We are so far beyond "show us your papers." They don't want to see the papers. We are now into the "give us the names" stage of the occupation.

Plainly corrupt. But also, this means her husband bought the stock at precisely the time Grok was making headlines for creating and publishing rampant CSAM and flooding the racist bird site with porn. Cool.

Critics say the EEOC deal with the Christian Employers Alliance attacks reproductive rights and fear the agency will rewrite regulations for pregnant workers story via @elishabrown.bsky.social

This isn't public safety or enforcing the laws. It's a lawless terror campaign to stamp out dissent and punish anyone who dares to stand up to it.

Friendly reminder, apropos of nothing: Greenland is a nearly autonomous Indigenous-governed nation, not an empty landscape to be "discovered" and "protected" by the United States (or any other "civilized" European nation).

ICE is now behaving in such a way that even Tucker Carlson’s favorite Holocaust minimizing, Hitler-apologist “historian” is like “hey now guys, this is getting a little out of hand.”

I counted one mention of Trump's name, and it was in reference to her request for repayment of border expnses: "I made it clear to both the Biden and Trump Administrations that we expect to be paid back." That's it.

In a few moments, Gov. Katie Hobbs will give her 4th State of the State speech to the #azleg, which is beginning its annual session today. More than any speech she's given, it will set the tone for her 2026 re-election bid. Follow this thread for the speech and my observations!
