This makes 21 cases decided in favor of the Trump Administration by the Supreme Court without oral argument.

Elon Musk’s Twitter feed is the farthest-right, most hateful and disinformation-forward social media feed I’ve seen of any person who doesn’t openly identify as a member of a hate group. It’s toxic at a level that in any other era would have led to *anyone* in business ceasing all dealings with him.

I get beside myself angry when I think about how a presidential candidate repeatedly fucking said he’d be a dictator and the press response was ha ha that rascal I’m sure he probably doesn’t mean it

This is absolutely Brownshirt business.

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents. The legacy of the Roberts court.

ICE agents tear-gassing neighborhoods while sitting in their cars is some messed up shit. As @gregdoucette.bsky.social would say, “cops are great.”

Senator Murphy also lays out a clear set of codified demands that Dems can stand for. Among them: *no more using budget to punish enemies *no more using FCC to censor critics *restrictions on ICE lawlessness in interior *clear ban on troops in cities 3/ newrepublic.com/article/2013...

“.. If victims disobeyed an order .., Taylor and Brannon punished the victims with public humiliation, .. sleep deprivation, physical assaults, and threats of divine judgment in the form of sickness .. and eternal damnation.” @craigtimes.bsky.social #Florida www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

I hope smart people are quietly brainstorming how to continue this country if/when the GOP is voted out of power because there's no going back. The destruction is already too overwhelming. It's going to take some very creative thinking and a lot of nerve to do it. Is there an FDR in the house?

As far-right billionaires buy up media and social media, we are going to need wealthy liberals to start throwing their money behind local and independent investigative media. We can’t compete at scale, but we should have a goal: No news deserts where the only options are right-wing corporate crap

This was done at the direction of Pam Bondi. The US government is now dictating what apps you can have on your phone. The underlying threat here is if Apple didn't comply, they'd slap billions in tariffs on Apple products.

I can't exaggerate how important it is that every ICE officer is met with contempt & mockery in public, everywhere they go, for the rest of their lives.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY'LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY. CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM.

Trump shut down the government because he thinks he's a king, and now troops aren't getting paid. But sure, let's spend $20 billion to prop up a far-right government in Buenos Aires.

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025. Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan. Legacy media failed the country.

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Why Aren't Democrats Raising the Alarm Over Trump’s NSPM-7 "Terrorism Indicators?" @kenklippenstein.bsky.social has obtained a national security memo that the Trump Admin plans to use to attack Americans as potential terrorists for anti-MAGA thought crimes. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

So the U.S. government made a huge show about the alleged threat posed by TikTok's Chinese ownership.... Meanwhile a major American military contractor owned by Elon Musk has quietly accepted direct and indirect investment from China.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

The Act of Capitulation that Trump is demanding that all colleges and universities are to sign surrenders authority over vast areas to Trump, as the Dear Leader. www.washingtonexaminer.com/wp-content/u...

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

This is the thing elected dems seem unable to swallow. There is no realistic modus vivendi where somehow remain a functioning liberal democracy after 3 years of Trump. He is removed or we become Azerbaijan. Removal is ultimately the only goal that matters.

I know these guys are all dumber than a sack of hammers, but it is fascinating to see the military decide “logistics are gay” in real time

Never ever forget how the elite US media enabled candidate Trump to lie and gaslight about #Project2025 The so called neutral media also own the mess - then heap of garbage fire that has engulfed American democracy. They own this.

I'm mad about a lot of things (ha! ha!) but the sheer number of journalists who wrote "There are no plans to implement Project 2025" under the grounds of "well, Trump says there aren't, so..." and still have jobs is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy up there

Russia is at war with all of us

The year is 2003. 17-year-old Stephen Miller is sitting in the back of a school bus talking about torture, as in “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity." Miller looks directly into the camera and describes the torturing Iraqis in gruesome detail, as his peers laugh uncomfortably.

Other countries are noting big tech is all in — and they know it’s bad for their own free speech and security bsky.app/profile/carl...

In the current American president, big tech companies found the permission to be the worst version of themselves. They are all-in. Cutting analysis from @cwarzel.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Some problems have simple solutions. This new “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” is one. The answer is simply saying no. Simple does not mean easy. But Brown, Dartmouth, MIT, Vanderbilt, Univ of AZ, UPenn, USC, UT Austin & UVA must understand what they’ll lose if they sign on.

Trump's higher ed ransom note is here - everyone would have to acquiesce to their unprecedented demands or not be "given priority for grants," plus they can demand "reimbursement" for "violations" www.wsj.com/us-news/educ... A mechanism to enforce fealty. An attack on academic freedom and democracy

this isn't news because something actually has to fucking happen for it to be news, this is trying to make something happen, which is marketing nothing highlights the technocapitalist stranglehold on media right now more than the relentless pushing of genAI as revolutionary

Really no better metaphor for what’s going on the than the Statue of Liberty’s torch being extinguished due to the trump shutdown

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law. Not. One. Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters. Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

This was sent by someone in Georgia this morning. 2025 healthcare premiums vs. 2026 premiums for someone making $65,000 a year. Republicans did this. Trump did this. This is what we're fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

By the way, Democrats could simply let the ACA tax credits expire without a fight and it would be a nightmare scenario for the House and Senate GOP in 2026. But Dems are fighting for those tax credits NOW because they truly care about America's health and costs. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

Soros could end trump. Massive hybrid ad and pr blitz: Trump is a child rapist, who has severe dementia, and is stealing all your money while destroying the country.

Google is blocking AI searches for Trump and dementia

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

Trump’s increasingly bizarre behavior can no longer be attributed to a calculated “strategy.” Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/why-isnt-the-media-reporting-on-trumps-d1e

can never forget that Fred Trump spent his later years totally gaga but surrounded by a gaggle of senility-denial-enablers who drove him to a make believe office where a make believe secretary had him sign make believe papers—which sounds cute til you see the sequel & the secretary is Stephen Miller
