You know your brain is deadline-fried when you find yourself opening a thesaurus tab and searching synonyms for "question"

BREAKING Judge Boasberg ORDERS the Trump admin to facilitate the return of the more than 100 men spirited out of the country last year without notice or a hearing. Plaintiffs may also submit habeas petitions from abroad, he says. Doc buff.ly/rccakD7

JFC I've heard that Fetterman is considering supporting the SAVE act. It's a disaster of a bill that would create sweeping disenfranchisement. Whoever your senators are, I don't care, call them. I don't wanna hear if you think they definitely will or won't support this, take 3 minutes & call.

If you don't subscribe to the FREE @goodtape.com newsletter, now's a great time. This week we preview the new BBC podcast 'The Interface,' cohosted by @karenhao.bsky.social, @nickywoolf.bsky.social & Thomas Germain. I talked to Germain about how every story is a tech story when you think about it.

“ICE messed with the wrong profession. We nurses will fight to abolish ICE.” @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social reports from a vigil honoring ICU nurse Alex Pretti, killed by federal agents—and on why @nationalnurses.bsky.social is escalating the call to abolish ICE.

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

Amazon is a useful proxy for technology overall because it went from being the most convenient way to buy everything to essentially telling you to go fuck yourself if you want a new shower curtain

jeffrey epstein being the first domino for the financial crash, video game micro transactions, and Gamergate is making me lose my mind

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

This race was such a massive swing blowout that Democrat Taylor Rehmet literally won a city called White Settlement

remember when the panama papers came out and we found out every rich person on earth was committing tax fraud and then nothing happened

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

Minnesota based Independent Journalist GEORGIA FORT has been arrested for filming a protest of the church pastor that works as an ICE manager. SPREAD THE WORD! Georgia has been doing outstanding reporting from ground zero!

MICROSOFT: "We're putting AI in Windows!" CUSTOMERS: "No, please don't do that." MICROSOFT: "You'll drink this fucking AI even if we have to hold your nose closed and use a vice to keep your jaws open." CUSTOMERS: "That only sounds bad." MICROSOFT: "Why have customers abandoned Windows?"

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL: When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

I know this isn't over. But this Nazi prick going bye-bye is welcome news on a Monday night. Eat it, shithead. See you at the trial.

“I was wrong, but I was right to be wrong; while others who were right, were wrong to be right.”

unlike all the strident leftists who were correct too early, i am correct at exactly the right time

In some countries the outbreak of bloodshed inspires the opposition party to call for the leader to resign

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

Reporters, if you wrote about learning loss due to covid school closures, you can write about learning loss due to state terror.

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

I am very glad that everyone is sending around the StandWithMinnesota website: here's the org I decided to give to ffrom the list. Native-led mutual aid group helping the unhoused, both before the ICE crackdown and now! linktr.ee/campnenookaasi

Now that the White House is using AI to edit photos of their political opponents to create fascist propaganda I’m wondering if anyone could have seen this use of AI coming. Okay I’m hearing lots of people did and they were forced to watch corporations smother the masses with the technology anyways

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

You can picture how it must have felt in there. Four fucking Nazis with their shit-eating grins squeezing their fat asses into a booth at a family-owned Mexican place poisoning the entire room with their smug impunity. Desecrating a place of community www.welcometohellworld.com/we-must-love...

Your semi-regular update on how AI search summaries are doing: (from Bing, the absolute lowest form of the genre)

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

George Jackson, writing this sometime around 1970 before he was murdered by the police, gave us the advice we need now:

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

this is unsustainably bananas and not impeaching and convicting these crooks grows ever more irresponsible and unpatriotic by the hour

"It wasn't murder, and if you say it was murder we will kill you, which again will not be murder."

Honestly Hannity's heart doesn't seem into it. Twelve seconds into this interview you can tell this man can handle these exhausted dumb questions they're handing him.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

This glib statement is all the more risible when you recall how many law enforcement officers used their vehicles as weapons against protesters in 2020... and how many Republican-dominated states *sought to legalize killing protesters with vehicles* as a reaction to the demonstrations

this is the story

This angle. My god.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.
