John Roberts has created “immunity” as this thing that can be tossed around. If Iranian soldiers are defending themselves they commit no crime. If they have committed war crimes, Americans can’t “immunize” them.

Well… two months in the books! I suspect I won’t be able to complete a third but I’ll keep it going as long as I can. This has been a blast, and getting out there every day has netted me seven lifers so far this year, and a year total through February of 160 species.

This article is a lie. Bluesky has Qanon level bullshit flowing through it all the time. The truth is exactly the opposite. Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries and all Democrats are pushing for a vote to limit Trump and get EVERYONE on the record. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

Not gonna lie, I did not have my state of origin on the list to likely take the lead on this sort of thing. Well done.

You can just say things.

Abuse of power? Impeach Vought actionnetwork.org/forms/civil-...

sorry, the contention is that *stanford* is not sufficiently aligned with the american military-industrial complex? are... are there multiple stanfords?

Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.

This draft Trump EO on voting is even nuttier than you imagined. Zeroing out all voter rolls and making everyone re-register in person. Mandatory annual online re-registration. Requiring anyone casting an absentee ballot to find a notary. No dropboxes. All post-election disputes federalized. 😟

Someone get ICE Barbie to explain why they’re terrorizing people and breaking the law in order to do it. Every single day it gets worse and we continue to get no answers from this cruel, incompetent administration. So much for law & order. ABOLISH ICE! www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

I'm just going to say this about Platner, because every time I talk about him I have a legion of his defenders saying I'm a fake leftist. If he was anything other than a cishet white man, his campaign would have collapsed long before now.

Bills introduced in recent weeks in the legislatures of at least four Democratic-led states would impose long-term consequences on new ICE employees by rendering them ineligible for jobs in law enforcement, public education, (cont.) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...?

Consequences will be catastrophic. Progressives have no media ecosystem to counter Fox News, CBS, X, Facebook, TikTok and now CNN and HBO.

And to be clear, everyone was very aware that this was illegal, but Trump officials and DOGE didi it anyway. Multiple IRS acting commissioners were removed when they raised concerns. Pretty much the entire C-suite resigned. From last year: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/this-tax-d...

We are living our lives with a gun pointed at our heads. Which would be no surprise at all to anyone in a minority in the US. If you let the govt. do it to some of us, they will do it to all of us. It’s shameful that we did, but it was also suicidal.

Good thread of orgs to support to help these folks. Not all of us can do a lot, but all of us can do *something.*

They found him. He died. Another murder by our immigration goon squads

One thing that’s concerning about this (beyond the obvious) is that anything you dump this many billions of dollars into necessarily creates a massive and well-funded political constituency for its own perpetuation.

“Secretly” is an interesting choice of word to describe a geological event 😂

Important reminder of the devastation wrought by the Musk/DOGE dismantling of USAID. Hundreds of thousands dead, many more to come. The greatest crime of the 21st century (so far).

“I just don’t get the kind of engagement on Bluesky that I get on X” the engagement:

You think "the online left" is unhinged, dog please talk to an independent voter IRL. They want universal healthcare and abolish taxes. They want to dissolve the coast guard. They want to rename the army the coast guard. They want their alien implants removed, and they also want more alien implants

A significant number of Americans think that being racist should be free speech but calling someone racist should not be.

Listen to this 13 year old who went to her city's council meeting. She had some things she needed to get off her chest

This experience comes off like a sleep away-camp. He made a cheesecake. He made friends. This Ivy League educated city councilman convicted of bribery and pardoned by President Trump only served a few months. Those other prisoners will be there years. Is the NYT soliciting essays from them?

Florida Voters need to pay attention to what's happening in the Texas elections. Voters are told that their registration is pending. If you’ve updated your driver's license within the last year, confirm your voter registration.

everything we're arguing about is really a proxy for the quiet, tragic, and still un-processed death of local journalism, which was the actual foundation of our freedoms and democracy

a guy who claimed to be named John Barron and sounded a lot like Trump called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff decision and call Hakeem Jeffries "a dope" (John Barron is a pseudonym Trump has used for himself when talking to journalists)

Remember, when news outlets first reported that Kash Patel was spending $75,000 of taxpayer money to fly an FBI Gulfstream jet to Milan so he could watch Olympic hockey, the official spokesasshole for the FBI had this to say:

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

I found this lying around in a random folder with other things I made in grad school: FOOTNOTE ALIGNMENT CHART

This is immoral. Trump officials gutted USAID and cut off food aid to refugees. Clinics closed. Warnings poured in and were ignored. Rations collapsed. Children starved to death. 👉🏾Agency staffers even celebrated the cuts with a sheet cake while lifesaving programs were being shut down.👈🏾

Notice how the Department of Homeland Security has changed the look of its concentration camps? It's so drones can't fly overhead to take videos of emaciated inmates covered in their own filth.

The floor plan for the planned ICE concentration camp in Social Circle, Georgia:

Seriously though, what sort of policy do you have when you reverse yourself within hours? Possibilities: a) no interagency process: someone at DHS pushed the policy did not check with the White House. b) pushback was more than expected c) someone called Trump, who was previously unaware

as far as i can tell “bio hacking” is just a goofy term for giving yourself some combination of an eating disorder and a drug addiction

Imagine thinking this is an argument that has any fucking meaning at all. It’s not just wrong, it’s fucking nonsensical and he thinks it’s genius.

ICE detained this British tourist with a valid visa because “ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that.” In other words, we all have bounties on our heads!

They're building a version of CECOT, just spread out. Remember, he said he wanted to build them here. For Americans.

If you see this, post a character whose name begins with U

Even now, too many people simply refuse to admit what is happening. Whitewashing continues from the media and key institutions among civil society. We are in deep trouble. Time to say it together, out loud.

Why isn’t the right excited about technology?

The judges in *West Virginia* are saying this.

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

Tie every republican to this.

Didn't the US Oil Companies say it was not in their best interests to get involved?
