Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”. If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

A republic, if you can afford it

So they *are* able to stop a ship in international waters and seize control of it without killing everyone on board? Huh.

$140m. Think of how many cancer drug trials or free school lunches this could have paid for www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Journalism isn't about identifying different opinions and treating them as equal in spite of the facts. It's about determining what the facts are. This man may not consider himself a propagandist, but he is. He is glossing over objective lies to please a cohort that doesn't even read.

They also gifted us with this PRACTICAL TOOLKIT: docs.google.com/document/d/1... 1. How to schedule and run trainings for ICE Watch Patrols and other key volunteer roles 2. How to build out patrol shifts and zones, including the practical nuts and bolts of the technology and systems used in NC

A new report from Amnesty International documents a pattern of human rights violations and forced disappearances at ICE detention centers in Florida, including the facility dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" by President Trump and his supporters.

Presswatchers misunderstands what the NYT is up to. The NYT is a Republican-aligned media outlet and whatever it may once have been it cannot now be trusted to accurately inform rather than troll its readers

A few years before the latest Homeland Security campaign of cruelty in Chicago, an immigration officer was a serial rapist in the city, authorities say.

“Modern Americans behave as if intelligence were some sort of hideous deformity.” - Frank Zappa

The Supreme Court is weighing whether to lift limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates. The case could reshape how money flows through the campaign finance system.

After years of conservative complaints, the Justice Department moved to kill a decades-old provision of civil rights law that allows statistical disparities to be used as proof of racial discrimination.

The sudden reappearance of Jared Kushner — President Trump’s son-in-law — as a major player in Trump’s second-term foreign policy has raised questions about his significant overseas financial interests.

Americans are facing sky-high costs on everything from housing to health care to groceries. But House Republicans axed a bipartisan bill the Senate passed UNANIMOUSLY to bring down the cost of housing. An affordability problem is right.

Trump just confirmed he'll sign an executive order banning states from regulating AI. It's a huge victory for Big Tech, which has spent millions lobbying to stop guardrails against AI. https://youtu.be/imtkNL4v2ks?si=lA7bwZgq-9DYkij5

David Ellison reportedly told Trump he’d make “sweeping changes” to CNN if Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. gets approved. Meanwhile, Jared Kushner and three Middle East countries are backing the bid — while Kushner advises Trump on foreign policy. Corruption on display.

Trump is a criminal who consorts with other criminals, and helps anyone who can help him in his corruption. He has no concern for battling drugs. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The real tragedy is that they feel no agency, only futilely.

Trump voters did this. Congress is allowing it to continue unchecked.

Tom Cotton is a horrible, horrible person. A couple years ago I wrote this piece for my Stop the Presses newsletter, recalling how he called slavery a "necessary evil" and blocked the confirmation of an Obama appointee until she died of leukemia.

Yes, the Supreme Court has failed to protect us from Trump. But it’s worse than that: The Supreme Court is imposing its own fascism. It invented presidential immunity. It has gutted the Voting Rights Act, passed by a bipartisan Congress. It’s as bad as Trump, and moving in the same direction.

We see new signs of the white supremacist dictatorship, big and small, every day now.

Elaine Miles, an Indigenous actress best known for playing Marilyn Whirlwind on Northern Exposure and part of its SAG-nominated ensemble, told the Seattle Times that men in ICE-labeled vests called her tribal ID “fake.” theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/northern-e...

Both Trump and Lindbergh’s grandfathers fled their homelands, a step ahead of law enforcement, a factual inconvenience that their grandsons never mentioned in their campaigns against others fleeing similar dire circumstances. Read: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Boycott World cup and fuck Fifa! Make it the lowest ratings ever!

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake? TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

"When there’s no war, you aren’t committing war crimes when you kill people indiscriminately. You’re just a straight-up murderer."

I haven’t been able to form a sentence in like 10 minutes

That Pentagon *press corps* performance with Matt Gaetz and Laura Loomer among those asking questions feels like a pretty good indicator of how far over the cliff we are. Worth checking out. 🇺🇸

In Aug., the NY Young Republican Club posted a statement to its website in support of the AfD. The statement concluded with the phrase “AfD über alles” in bold, a play on the line “Deutschland über alles,” which was frequently used in Nazi propaganda www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

With respect, Senator Kelly, you do not blow up civilian boats because you suspect they *might* be drug traffickers.

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence. All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

The president of the United States is insane. Full stop.

This is James Bennet, the former NYT opinion editor who didn't read Tom Cotton's "let's unleash the military on American cities" op-ed before running it and then got fired. Also, he hired both Bari Weiss and Bret Stephens. He's more responsible than most for the republic's ruination.

Amen. The entire chain of command is culpable

👀

Every single Republican member of Congress has turned their back on the values they campaigned on: voting to block the release of the Epstein files.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.
