He’s a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, serial sexual predator, open white supremacist, blatantly corrupt, almost certainly a pedophile, and yet he’s a two-time president. What the hell could it be?

Seems like this is something @ilattygeneral.bsky.social should seek to emulate for Illinois, seeing as the Cook County State’s Attorney has told us all to get fucked repeatedly

The Wayback is now so load-bearing we should be protecting it with our actual lives

Finally had my first negative interaction on Bluesky. For a blissful period, I could forget that pedantic idiots exist here too.

These shitty little worms are all the same - cowards. www.wbez.org/education/20...

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.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

I’ve added the audiobook edition of this to my library. Elie Mystal’s endorsement is spot on: “The greatest trick conservatives ever pulled was convincing the world that originalism exists.”

body cameras for the ring

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

“One cop we talked to—he appeared to be a lieutenant or commander—about babies being gassed said in response ‘that's too bad.’”

One of the things bothering me about how people are responding to the Epstein files is that there are tons of conspiracies being created and spread about what’s in them, rather than people just believing the victims like they could have been doing for years now

Why am I being a jerk about this stuff? When organizations make a big show of democracy or public opinion seeking that actually is a relatively small impact and value to the public it limits public engagement and oversight.

Billionaires are an existential threat to civilization and should be treated as such.

No notes 🤌🏻

The photos from a UN fact finding mission to northern Gaza which were part of a diplomatic cable suppressed by the US Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, have been released by Drop Site News. These are the genocidal conditions in Gaza that Lew specifically tried to hide from the White House and public.

And as Jeb's enduring legacy, even ten years later, they're still not clapping.

It’s 2026. There is a measles outbreak in the prison for babies

Whenever you see a story about how liberals aren't making their conservative peers feel welcome enough, this is who they're talking about.

Good morning... Not sure if folks can read the full post by Mark linked here since it's on FedBook but if you can, it's worth it to kick off a new week: www.facebook.com/mark.provost...

As much as I love “Svencoolie”, you know what to do.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks. They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

If you're curious, the guy who runs the above Substack is @mottel.bsky.social, whose entire job is to whitewash the fascist, messianic ideals of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.

we knew it was Klan because the pastor is ICE but now we really know it’s Klan

i am happy to fight for freedom with the libertarians but also, we don’t really need to *talk*

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

Arresting Black journalists is also vice signaling. Their base is racist and hates journalists and they want to get them excited again. The mainstream media industry has never protected Black journalists or journalists of color the way it should.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Amoral scum.

Take note of who in the media promulgated the fake, imaginary "new tone/de-escalation" stories. Consider why they would do that. Remember them for next time!

Graham objected to unanimous consent. And he blocked the business of the Senate. Any Senate Democrat could do this.

Michael Rabbit, a progressive local official in my neck of Chicago, became an early target of the fascists. They obviously have no case but are determined to punish him with a pointless but very expensive and stressful prosecution. Chip in if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/support-mi...

Brett Ratner becoming our era's Leni Riefenstahl isn't something I had on my bingo card as of a few years ago; that said, if you'd told me then that it would happen, I would've believed you instantly

Bruce Springsteen is a fucking national treasure

When racists killed Mickey Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman in 1964, they burned their station wagon but left it just off a road where it was easily found. When racists killed Viola Liuzzo, they advertised her shot-up car for sale, promoting it as a possible tourist attraction.

If you’ve been thinking to yourself “man, I really want to help people in Minneapolis, but I also some some cookies, AND I’d also like to help out trans, neurodiverse, and BIPOC youth“ boy oh boy do I have some good news for you! digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/troop5...

If you are a person who works in social media, and your job requires you to manage an account on Twitter/X, please ask your boss, in writing, to verify that you are required as a responsibility of your position to be on a platform that knowingly creates and monetizes child sexual abuse material …

This article reports that Deloitte has been given nearly $100 million in contracts from ICE and CBP since January 2025. I would love to see the states that have been targeted by federal immigration enforcement action relieve Deloitte of their human service and benefits system contracts.

Ah, so we're in the RVO phase of DARVO

The only Democratic statements I want to hear about the Trump gestapo are like this, from the awesome Philly DA Larry Krasner. No less truth, no less fire.

Think about it like this. This ICE agent was on camera and unmasked — fulfilling one of three "demands" Democratic leader Chuck Schumer just issued in order to agree to save Republicans and give DHS even more money. And he was still threatening to kill someone.

Pay attention folks

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, these fucking people.

Incredible. Millions are newly-mobilized, questioning how their taxes are being used to hurt their neighbors. Republicans are in a terrible position. Democrats have huge leverage. And they may just go ahead and give DHS more money — as long as they slap on a few rules DHS is already not following.

It's surprising he didn't attempt something far worse after reading this.
