In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

Don’t make me tap the sign (yet again)

Who paid for this article to be written?

Tin soldiers and Trump is coming, we’re finally on our own

“No stupid rules of engagement” is a hell of a thing to say after killing 165 little girls at school in Minab, Iran.

everything theyre saying now they said during iraq

This is a scandal for ICE, but also an indication of just how much they're scraping the bottom of the barrel. They've had multiple applicants with outstanding warrants for their own arrest walking in looking to play cop. That's apparently how dumb some of these goons are.

HAPPENING NOW: Good morning from the federal courthouse in Nashville, Tennessee. A federal judge is set to preside over an evidentiary hearing on whether the United States government is vindictively prosecuting Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I'm here for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow along ⬇️⬇️⬇️

ICE is struggling to keep pace with vetting new hires during its historic recruitment push, so it's hiring officers before completing standard checks. The agency fired five people after belatedly finding that they had outstanding warrants for their arrest. www.reuters.com/world/ice-st...

The way to know someone is a business genius is if they send their biggest competitor their best employees

The Athletic, which serves as the sports desk for the New York Times, just announced that it has hired several Washington Post sports reporters and editors following the Post's shuttering of its sports section. www.nytco.com/press/the-at...

also a reminder to stop using X

Happy birthday to this young man, and really to us all

Here’s the thing and I’m gonna tell you: a lot of fans are why so many creators just don’t want to create anymore. And so many of them are oddly proud of their ability to bully. In order for cartoons as a concept to survive, they need to knock that shit off.

Your regular reminder that Palantir started out as a way to expose sex workers to police violence, then expanded to allow cops to spy on anyone they pointed at while barfing out the word "gang". Fascists *created* Palantir, but useful idiots approved of everything done to grow it.

Great to see @sulliview.bsky.social calling on @victorpickard.bsky.social and @parkermolloy.com for the crisis sweeping US media as corporate owners aligned with Trump sell out media independence & core 1st Amendment values to further their own interests.

Honestly we should have all known we were in a dangerous global decline as soon as Hollywood struggled to make a new movie about Blade

i wasn’t sure if they did this because she’s female or brown or progressive and then i realized the answer is “yes”

I often think about the fact that if the FBI et al had not killed Fred Hampton, he would be 78 today. Younger than Jesse Jackson was. Must have felt strange to outlive many of your contemporaries by decades.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.

The "is it cake" era was a pysop preparing us for the uncertain reality of ai images. In this essay...

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

And there it is … bsky.app/profile/atru...

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

the way that trumps administration needs to do something deeply insane every time media cycles against them die down is wild

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

“Prediction market” how fucking bleak It’s GAMBLING

Recent CBS News news: 1. Anderson Cooper leaves 60 Minutes after two decades 2. Stephen Colbert reveals network won’t let him air interview with Dem 3. Producer says politics dictating what airs 4. Owner’s bid for CNN parent back on the table. 5. Not firing Epstein pal.

you can really blow some minds with “actually there was an entire library and research institute for queer / trans history, science and medicine founded by a Jewish sexologist but the Nazis destroyed it in the hopes of exactly this outcome, ie future generations not believing trans people are real”

Michael Dorn did DS9 to afford an airplane. Every time you watch Worf on DS9, he is thinking about airplanes.

You’re all chocolates in the dusty Whitman Sampler box that is my heart

It used to be the case that FBI agents were supposed to dress like white collar employees. Now they have their camo vests on as if they are about to be dropped in Fallujah...to pick up some paper ballots.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Why is everyone acting surprised that the racist supreme is racist? His first term was fueled by racist reactionaries who got their panties in a twist over a Black man being president

I want a personal apology from every reactionary centrist who claimed Trump supporters were just motivated by “economic anxiety”

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

The headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota." Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota." This presser worked like a charm.

RuPaul trying to remember the names of drag queens sounds like me trying to remember Kingdom Hearts characters There’s too many and they all have stupid hair

I’m not saying the devs did anything, but lol someone has good taste

1/ BREAKING: Government documents reviewed by ProPublica identify Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa, 43, and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez, 35, as the two who fired their weapons during the deadly encounter with Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.

Ilhan Omar: “He was saved by security”

Ellison: "The Bondi letter reveals what this is all about. This is not about fraud and it's not even about immigration, and it's certainly not about law enforcement. It's about handing over documents of the state of Minnesota, private information, including voting information, to the federal govt."

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...

I'll also just say, that statement by the grandfather is troubling. Renee was remarried and the kid has a stepmother. Also, he didn't even know his age. If the wife hadn't adopted, this could result in a custody dispute for a woman already grieving the murder of her wife.

Fuck Bari Weiss, fuck bootlicking regime propaganda

When your media literacy skills suck so bad you mistake fanfiction for the show
