A person in power who is supposedly on our side messing up the name of a person murdered by ICE feels like a new low of casual horror.

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past. It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

FWIW this is more or less how white conservatives destroyed multiracial democracy after emancipation. That & paramilitary violence, but of course they would never... oh yeah they're doing that too.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. went hunting for dinosaur bones in the Dakotas with child sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

so many centrists and liberals act as though "progress" as they know it has happened thanks to the magical, natural tide of history rather than people far more radical than them disregarding respectability politics and changing things by stepping right through decorum.

"Every single day for four years I have thought about Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt gloating that you can dismantle a democracy right in front of a liberal's face piece by piece and all they'll do is convene committee meetings till the boots are in the halls." ― Anthony Oliveira (@meakoopa.bsky.social)

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Someone should ask Dave Roberts for comment about the presidents post about the Obamas since he is hiding behind the "respect the office" bullshit. Does he really not have a line that someone can cross where that no longer applies? How come he decided it applied previously?

He gave Tom Homan an award for how good he was doing!

We're traumatizing thousands of kids for life. The people behind this are monsters.

In an email exchange with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell wrote that a man named Mike Lee's current position as of 2009 was "Head of dalas" (sic), and clarified she meant Dallas and that it was not a codeword. Hmm...

It's a bit disturbing to think that Jeffrey Epstein may have been in touch with the head of the Secret Service Dallas Field Office as late as 2009, after Epstein had already been convicted in 2008.

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

And every *other* option you have for getting funding, even the most decent among them, are folks who will not refuse to do business with those people. You will be expected to sit in a room with those monsters, and act like it's reasonable, without armed security or witnesses.

If you're building a startup in 2026, you are expected to work with the world's largest venture capital firm (which is not even really a VC firm), where one partner strangled my neighbor to death for being Black, and another actively sought Jeffrey Epstein's counsel for years. This is *normal*.

also the IOC:

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

People laud NBC for their Olympic coverage and tbh the montage athlete spotlights aren’t worth the shitty broadcasting they’ve always done.

tbf NBC and the IOC does this with every Olympics clip ever They’re the most hypervigilant of any of these sporting orgs every year I barely want to post video clips on this app because of how nuts they are with the takedowns (hence stills instead)

Nevermind actual footage, the IOC had a twitter account that yelled at big accounts that used the official hashtags without paying them, including the Pope:

35 of these violations were for school speed zone cameras. Remember- the cameras have a 10 mph grace and don’t ticket unless the car is caught going 11 mph above the speed limit. Ariola is a sociopath.

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

"Natalia Bonanno’s family owns 200 apartment units"

these people have a moral rot

After attempting to deliver a letter of demands, the coalition is outside LA28 chanting “ICE out of LA” and “ICE out of Milan” and “ICE out of the Olympics”

The Fair Games coalition is gathered outside LA28’s headquarters in South Park calling for Casey Wasserman to resign, drawing attention to the board’s MAGA appointees, and demanding that ICE leave LA — and Milan, where the Winter Olympics begin today

It has delegitimized our entire government, institutions, and biz structures.

can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last year— unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of power—but without any real accountability/justice

My only thought on Trump's grotesque video is that someone should paste a screenshot of it into a Supreme Court merits brief to compel the justices to grapple, however briefly, with what they stand for.

in the elite circles of the US, racism is treated less as a matter of social stratification with direct implications for political stakes and more as a matter of moral etiquette. it is even more notable, then, that this administration can't constrain themselves to the meager associated standards

BYD is going to asphyxiate Tesla in Europe with local production. Hungary plant about to come online. Turkey next. Looking like third factory in Spain. 1000 dealerships now moving to 2000. Way cheaper and way better. One reason why SpaceX is IPO'ing now. globalchinaev.com/post/byd-sta...

What?

Make Peter Thiel into the villain, Democrats. It's all there. He is the node that connects Trump, Vance, Palantir, Musk, Epstein, and so many other terrible players. Just expose it and make him and Musk the face of these psychopathic billionaires ruining our lives.

every dem should immediately shift to the obamas-as-apes video trump posted, because it is instantly recognizable to normies are insanely racist and opens up numerous lines of questioning

So people have no where to go and there was a spate of overdoses, and they just arrested everyone???

The IOC are basically collaborating with the new nazi regime and we are supposed to be excited??

a lot of the people in charge right now were fully formed adults when it was just kinda openly accepted that Black football players couldnt be smart enough to play quarterback

It’s doubly funny because his explanation amounted to “poor white people have degraded themselves into Black people” and he got Ron Howard to direct a movie on Netflix about it.

Yup. Back in 2016, when we still had a dominant Sober Self-Critical Liberal Intelligencia, they collectively gushed over Vance’s brave truth-telling. Anyone who had done real work addressing addiction in poor communities warned it was just repackaged racist ideological bullshit…and were dismissed

If this guy walks there definitely needs to be mass protest in the streets abc7ny.com/post/nypd-co...

One of the scariest aspects of the Trump administration is that they continue to make us vulnerable to an ever lengthening list of disasters that haven't happened yet but eventually will.

Mass walkout/quit.

The whole “inability to understand how to build mundane things” joke is pretty on point for the US. I’m watching shit that should take a day take months for crews to do. Is it mostly grift? Like this is after the months/yrs of design review and community input too.

Fuck the IOC #NoOlympics
