Just so we’re clear, Trump decided to give himself and his family tax-cheat immunity. Congress didn’t do it. The courts didn’t do it. Trump is stealing tens of millions of dollars from taxpayers because the Republicans in charge of our government refuse to stop him. it’s outright theft.

Almost every anti-datacenter talking point other than power bills is more or less pretend, but I'm fascinated by people who have realized this and come to the conclusion that the democratic party is morally obligated to throw themselves on the political hand grenade because gesellschaft or something

Just a constant horror show as the privacy of trans patients is constantly eroded. As a former patient of Mount Sinai, this is a massive betrayal to their patients. Your medical records are not safe with them. gothamist.com/news/nyc-par...

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

Because the point was never to reduce crime--which was declining in the first place. The point was for an aspiring fascist dictator to excercise arbitrary military power over perceived political enemy citizens.

This is a fascist regime attempting a program of ethnic cleansing. The tree of liberty thirsts.

This was a huge deal—flying below the radar because issued late at night in a shadow docket ruling

Just a reminder that immigrants inside Delaney Hall are on their ninth day of a hunger and labor strike in protest of inhumane conditions and this was Governor Sherrill’s response last night:

Even if you willfully ignore the blatant racism driving modern immigration enforcement and the major privacy concerns here, the sheer amount of money being poured into ICE cannot be helping our sinking economy

yes, this! “the ‘unitary executive’ is, quite simply, incompatible with a theory of checks and balances.”

This administration lacks the interpersonal skills to engage on a human level, it is incapable of establishing trust of any kind. It cannot build bridges. This is Trump. He hired only people like him. All this admin knows how to do is con, crime, destroy. There is no good faith. Iran ends badly.

Leaked documents reveal BusPatrol’s plan to equip tens of thousands of school buses with license plate readers and share the data with law enforcement.

NEW: Trump's gross Aliens.gov site claims to map where immigrants have been taken into custody, but it includes more 83 spots where Americans alone were arrested. Over 700 locations include citizen arrests. The counter is fake. The music was ripped. And Puerto Rico is listed as a foreign country.

once again: maga is eating shit in court CONSTANTLY

Today: 1. A judge temporarily blocked the $1.8B slush fund 2. A judge ordered Trump’s name off the Kennedy Center 3. A judge asked the govt to answer charges of a fraud on the court in Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS 4. A judge asked DoJ to explain why he should dismiss the Oath Keepers’ charges

it might even be positive to make a public show of praising dummies who decide to opt out of the democratic process. this is the smartest decision of your life ma'am, and we're all grateful

voting isn't a moral good if you don't know shit about fuck and are just picking a name based on a vague desire to burn things down.

we need to normalize the idea that while we should always seek to make voting easier and more accessible, that DOES NOT mean we should encourage absolutely everyone to vote

Are we undermeasuring inflation for lower earners? - Marginal REVOLUTION

ICE is targeting journalists at Delaney Hall. They’re hitting photographers, breaking fingers and smashing off lenses.

ICE broke the finger of a Reuters photojournalist today. After two days of drenching people in pepper spray, people have been adding more and more layers of protection, rendering the spray useless and leading to ICE using their short metal batons that they swing with full force.

Immigrant detainees at Delaney Hall ICE prison in Newark, NJ have been forced to cook, clean, & repair the facility for as little as $1/day and sometimes for free. They are on a hunger & labor strike; protesters outside have been tear-gassed. Here's our report, including a quote from a detainee:

“On Wednesday morning, the Justice Department went to court to advance an argument that, if accepted, would all but erase the existence of transgender people in the law.” Read my report at Law Dork:

The fact that this is controversial to say is absurd.

this side effect of the war is not even part of the US conversation

So this fascist thug illegally and unconstitutionally extorted billions out of these companies while lying and saying they were being paid by foreigners, now he has the gall to appeal to irrational nationalist feel feels to shame them for demanding the money he stole back?

This is a fascist regime violating the rights of and seeking blantant cruel punishment against an innocent person as reprisal for exposing the moral depravity of their ethnic cleansing campaign. The tree of liberty thirsts.

A young person has died and a MAGA official hails the “protection” of students. This is the evil that is destroying America.

BREAKING: Sen. Ed Markey calls for Trump's impeachment.

In 1934 Hitler created a medal to give to everyone who participated in the Beer Hall Putsch, in case you want to know what's going to happen to all these people after Trump gives them a big check.

@radleybalko.bsky.social traces how the Supreme Court has systematically dismantled the legal tools Americans have to hold law enforcement accountable, leaving victims of police abuse with almost nowhere to turn. hubs.la/Q04hmc5Y0

Trump seems willing to hand over the democracy of Taiwan to the Chinese Communist Party out of spite, willfully oblivious to the cost such a catastrophe would impose on US companies that rely on Taiwan's unmatched semiconductor manufacturing prowess, as I discussed here.

Imagine how much money has been stolen from us for the propaganda performance conartistry of convincing sycophants there was anything there, when they knew there never was.

Trump regime's endless search to confabulate llthe legal authority to make Americans poorer is as ridiculous as it is enraging.

“Congress judges the republican character of each state every time it seats that state's elected representatives. This also implies that Congress can refuse to seat a state's representatives, if it thinks that state's government is not republican.” www.liberalcurrents.com/how-the-120t...

With Trump pressuring the Fed to be more expanasionary and no end in sight for Hormuz, the inflation situation probably won't get much better either.

“Ziobro is a wanted man with no passport. The Trump White House just went to a good deal of trouble to bring him to the US.” The USA under Tump has become the post-WWII equivalent of South America — a refuge for fleeing fascists desperate to escape justice.

Some reforms that are necessary now next time Democrats take office given the Court's full-fledged partisan assault on the Voting Rights Act

Group of 100+ former ABC News employees issue letter to Disney thanking the company for pushing back on heavy-handed investigation by Federal Communications Commission & Trump Admin "We stand with ABC in this fight and call on the FCC to drop its politically motivated inquiry"

Once upon a time, I thought Blair White via Contrapoints' argument comparing being trans to being an adopted parent so sound that I imagined conservatives understanding it. (Your transness is nobody's business except your doctor. No one "CORRECTS" an adopted parent who said they're Jimmy's mom.)

Satellite imagery shows that at least 46 towns and villages in southern Lebanon have been heavily damaged or, in some cases, entirely flattened by the Israeli Defence Forces. Bellingcat’s interactive map reveals the scale of the destruction: www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/05...

remigration is a policy of ethnic cleansing recently popularized by a Austrian neo nazi

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. The Roberts Court, by being so unrestrained in its extremist partisanship, has brought upon itself the circumstances which have made Dem court packing in the near future, once a fringe position with little mainstream support, an increasingly likely possibility.

Holy shit.

👀PRESUMPTION OF IRREGULARITY 1/ In the administration's ongoing effort to force Rhode Island Hospital to turn over the private health data of trans kids, Judge Mary McElroy rips it a new one: "DOJ has proven unworthy of trust at every point in this case." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Remigration is a white nationalist idea: immigrants of color voluntarily leave America for their native countries,making America whiter. That the State Department and White House are openly promoting it is an obvious tell - as if another one was needed - about the Trump regime’s goal.

leftists: payment processors are cracking down so hard on queer and explicit content! this censorship is evil! also leftists: blockchains? clearly a scam. transactions that can't be censored? the only good use for that is crime

I don't really have much to say about the NY Times covering that NYU students don't want Jon Haidt as their graduation speaker beyond the fact that the paper has not covered this case (or more like it) which involves state censorship of faculty speech. It is monumentally more important.

Now now, there's also profiteering from participation in our violent censorship regime. "Intellectual property" is a huge chunk of the economy and underpins the fortunes of all the billionaires they love to drag out as virtuous heroes, like Taylor Swift.
