may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

Say what you will about the abject lawlessness of her tenure transitioning the DOJ to a bespoke family firm for the Trump organized crime syndicate, but Pamela Jo Bondi'll forever go down as the AG that gifted us this banger!

You gotta be kidding me

Liberal Currents has quietly become one of the few outlets taking male supremacy seriously, either as a foundation of Trumpist fascism or as a system of oppression in its own right.

Someone sent me this.

A WIRED analysis of DHS records identified dozens of specialized federal agents who used force against US civilians during the largest known deployment of its kind in US history. www.wired.com/story/border...

may this be the beginning of something

You can see pretty clearly when the President decided to reassure a worried nation.

Mahmoud Kahlil asks Judge Emil Bove to recuse from considering his motion for rehearing en banc. Cites his high-level positions at DOJ at initiation of his detention & reported targeting of Columbia protesters. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It's good that Trump showed up at the Supreme Court today. The effect is to stamp his face all over this vile effort to end the constitutional birthright of equality and restore hierarchy by blood. Let him be associated with this project forever. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2084...

We all knew Mike Lee was evil, but he's spent the last couple of years making it clear that he's also quite stupid.

Misrepresenting a historical source this egregiously would merit a failing grade in a high school essay. Not great that the commanding heights of the American legal system and academia operate on a lower standard than that.

So what this describes is ethnic cleansing www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

Before we jump to any conclusions...if the last part of this tweet is accurate, the penalty for not curtailing mail ballots is potential loss of funding. If it's election funding it's tiny, and this is a paper tiger.

Again, FUCK Kristi Noem's request for privacy about her cuckold's cross-dressing. Focus on the claim that Stephen Miller is implicated in Alex Pretti's murder. emptywheel.net/2026/03/31/d...

In honor of a judge halting Trump's ballroom construction today:

In an administration that posts Nazi iconography online and is full of people with ties to white supremacist groups, what could possibly go wrong? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/u...

Fun fact: If you ever find yourself thinking, "wow there sure are a lot of federal court rulings today," the odds are decent that the day is March 31 or September 30 www.uscourts.gov/data-news/re...

It was just 24 days between when Zuck went on Rogan and talked about how "never again" would he suppress info based on gov't demands (misrepresenting those demands) and when he texted top gov't employee Elon Musk to say "we're all set up to take down info you want removed." I wrote about it here.

Pretty compelling essay from Daniel Biss in The Nation, in which he reiterates his support for -The Block The Bombs Act (strongest arms embargo on Israel legislation ever unveiled in Congress). -Unilateral recognition of the State of Palestine. -Naming and shaming AIPAC intervention in elections.

This is the photo of Karoline Leavitt by the AFP wire service that the White House complained about and AFP pulled. AFP says its action was unrelated to the complaint. (Yeah, sure.) For folks interested in the news industry, the Status newsletter is a must.

the reason hegseth lobbied trump to pardon war criminals in his first term and why he has done everything possible to make war crimes more likely is that hegseth believes war crimes to be Objectively Good. war to him, in fact, consists of committing indiscriminate war crimes.

Jon Passant of @status.news says a line was crossed by these words. I'm inclined to agree. www.status.news/p/brendan-ca... [no paywall]

Sandra Wong, the great granddaughter of Wong Kim Ark, is preparing to march at the #NoKings Rally in San Francisco. Today is the 128th Anniversary of the SCOTUS decision affirming birthright citizenship.

And Trump rewarded them.

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

Real Philly shit.

BELOW: How Chicago feels about kings.

Viktor Orbán created a new state foundation that forced independent media owners to transfer ownership, changed the state media into a propaganda mouthpiece, and hounded the remaining few free media with tax audits, raids, and surveillance. Over 80% of the media in Hungary is now in his hands.

Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵: These protests are important b/c: 1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.

Shall we have a No Kings thread? Japan⬇️

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. #NoKings

They started an illegal war of choice during an ideological, racist and sexist purge led by right wing podcasters calling targets on a sieg heiling billionaire’s website, believing their superior genes and brutality would lead to rapid victory and are now facing defeat bsky.app/profile/dunc...

Forget all the “Protests don’t matter” and “No Kings is just silly” nonsense. Protests matter. Societal resistance has been hardening. It’s a massive problem for the MAGA regime. And “No Kings” is crucial as part of an effort to dispel the idea that “real America” stands behind Trump.

Vigeland: You could pay for college for all for Americans in a week with what we're spending in Iran.

William Butler Yeats gazing in the direction of Bethlehem:

You really can't exaggerate how squarely contrary this rhetoric is to the basic foundational precepts of this country. These people *hate* the actually existing United States.

NEW: Last October, Border Patrol agents gassed Chicagoans after agents caused a major car crash on the southeast side. I analyzed body cam videos that show agents Benito Nunez, Oscar Guillen, and Carlos Chavira ignored orders to end the pursuit—moments before they blew a tire and crashed.

Newest in my Epstein investigation: A man who was one of Epstein’s key sources of cash has a lot of questions to answer.

An Uzbek man, tortured by his govt, spent two years in ICE detention waiting on asylum claim. Separated from, lost track of wife and daughter. Claim denied, he attempted suicide, then disappeared. Deported to Uzbekistan. From @mariannedhe.bsky.social newsletter.mariannedhenin.com/asylum-seeke...

Trump calling mail-in voting “cheating” and trying to ban it then voting by mail himself (again) as Republicans lose a Mar-A-Lago state house seat is really perfection 💋

Everyone dooming over how $185M means nothing to Meta: this lawsuit was brought by one (small) state. Forty-nine plus DC to go. It is okay and encouraged to celebrate Ws instead of just saying “it doesn’t matter” every time any awful corporation faces ANY consequences. This could force change.

Is it a giant wooden horse
