This is some Dred Scott shit right here

The silver lining: after the regime is toppled, reconstructionist Democrats will be able to remove fascists from federal agencies via the same mechanism on their way to making a new non-partisan civil service. But the full project will take decades.

This is a good thing. That said, as a former Bay Area resident and homegrown Californian this is just so damn funny that he was on that board in the first place

Semi-serious but I'ma wait till Wasserman calls that NJ 11 special....need that "I've seen enough" like it's a Mike Breen double "Bang!"

Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA. Facts that bear repeating.

California electeds - THIS is how you talk about heat pumps!

Listening to the new By Storm album, and feeling so bittersweet over their loss of their third bandmate (of Injury Reserve). Glad they are carrying on homie's memory.

we need every grain of sand in the gears. every single one.

It is very funny that one of the only people, out of thousands of the ultra rich and celebrities who were exposed to Trump and Epstein's pedophilia, who immediately said fuck this and got out of there was the dude from 2 Live Crew

Putting on my suit and tie and going on America Erwache to describe a 234 year old basic requirement of the constitution for lawful searches and seizures as a “nonstarter.”

This is the golden era to just be a normal dude because dweebs and twerps are exposing themselves at an alarming rate. We have never seen or heard from this many dweebs and twerps at any point in history before this. The dweebs and twerps are here and they're curing droughts with their tears.

Dachau, the first major concentration camp in Nazi Germany, was built in 1933 & had a capacity of about 5000 at its outset. The German population in 1933 was ~67 million people. 🧐

I am trying and failing to find the article from 2 months ago that adds one more terrifying layer: about the successful altering of a facial recognition database such that the photos no longer “read” as someone’s face to a computer, although they look unchanged to a person.

“It’s just weird to see a toddler in a pink onesie getting their eyes washed out from tear gas, you know?”

Judge Reyes starts with a comparison: George Washington versus Kristi Noem.

Successful surgery this morning though! :) and now, #ouch!!!

The Northeast's cap and trade regime has to adjust to the new era of affordability. Josh Shapiro left and New Jersey is using the money to freeze utility bills. heatmap.news/energy/regio...

Had a great time tonight talking climate with some of the leading candidates for California governor! Thanks to @envirovoters.bsky.social for hosting. Full video here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=OsLc... I’ll have a full analysis soon in my newsletter. Sign up: climatecoloredgoggles.com

I...worked on this story for a year...and...she just...she tweeted it out.

YAKWTFGO…. (Long time listener, regular reposter)

Breaking per NBC News — CBP has shot and critically wounded another person, this time in Arizona. Very few details available at this time.

Increasingly this feels like a foundational text of the 21st century.

Damn son

By all means, defund ICE. But also recognize that ICE became "ICE" due to weaknesses in administrative law. We need to fix those or else, down the road, something ICE-like will just be created somewhere else using the same weaknesses.

The EPA wants to eliminate one of the few ways that tribes can protect their water

An Abundance of fascist apologia

democrats backed themselves into this corner with a long, LONG string of foolish decisions and votes. they need to take our popular demand — abolishment — and figure it out. so it can't be done with this fight? then pledge to abolish & tell us how y'all plan to achieve it down the road. deal with it

This country has locked up so many children in one prison that the CHILDREN ARE LEADING PRISON UPRISINGS. As a country we are not furious enough yet.

My question is how did he choose the WSJ . Like what was his thought process

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

again, there's no rule anymore that lonsdale is entitled to his property or to be left in peace by a democratic society. you can do whatever you want now if you have power

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

And I hope he gets stripped of his pension before he’s prosecuted by the next admin or in Geneva

Wrote myself a pep talk to get back to work tomorrow. It helped me. Hope it helps you.

The memo went out

This gets better when you know that Mayes was literally a Republican until 2019. And not just as a private citizen. She held statewide office as a Republican for 7 years.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE
