wtf?!?! where are all national media on this?!?! Is Fortune mag really the only news organization on this story??

Fascinating topic, heretofore completely unknown to me, about my home city’s defunct port.

Youthcrush John Taylor (bass, Duran Duran)

I’ve been disappointed lately that many I follow, whose posts are of high interest to me, limit commenting (to mutuals?) - there are comment threads but I can’t participate at all. So much commenting is toxic bullshit so I understand in a way, but the practice really dampens engagement.

Members pf Congress: IMPEACH NOEM AND BONDI, NOW. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Being a child rapist is far worse than being an undocumented immigrant.

Conservatives literally do not understand *anything* and this isn't even an exaggeration. Have you ever talked to one? It's wild, it's like after 4-5 years old their bodies kept growing but their minds stopped being curious

so damn true

👇🎯 Not once has the national media asked a GOP politician about affording ICE the way Biden/the Dems were asked about the cost of student loan debt relief & literally everything else for the last 50 years.

I don’t know whether this is more egregious, or heinous. The for-profit model of government prevalent in my country sucks shit, to put it mildly.

"Why is it so normal for law enforcement — those who are supposed to be keepers of law and order — to kill Americans? And why is the only question at the end of the day how much their victims deserved to die?" Read more from @sarahjeong.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/86745...

We have reached the point where any statement made by a Trump administration official must be assumed to be a lie until proven otherwise.

This did not start with ICE or Trump, as always with Trump/MAGA its just a more blatant & egregious version of something that's been wrong in America for a very long time, and we have not had political leaders able to step up and meet the moment for all of that time

in trying to understand what makes ICE and CBP so dangerous right now, it is tempting to imagine some new lack of training or experience or professionalism—and not grapple with the truth that a white nationalist movement has put more power and force behind their existing mission

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

I’ve been fuming since I read stmt from @murray.senate.gov giving excuses for her vote to fund DHS. She whined that in minority there’s nothing they can do in Congress and said we have to win at the ballot box to do anything. That’s not leadership. TAKE SOME KIND OF ACTION, for instance:

Major news outlets need to be on this screaming scandal of a story, making it known to the people of this country @cnn.com @nbcnews.com @apnews.com @reuters.com @cbsnews.com

Cosigning this as a former Californian (former San Franciscan, too, the man was a clown back then too).

fitting follow-up to my last reskeet:

This, right here, is it. For real.

“Washington state lacks parole” - I’ve lived here nearly 7 yrs and didn’t know that!! This seems like a very worthy bill to consider and I really hope my Dist 40 reps and senator are paying attention! @alexramel.bsky.social

Hello my Senators, @murray.senate.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov I am really really interested in hearing about why you don’t seem to have considered the avenues available to combat the fascists in your midst. youtu.be/1PwmiG7ABl0?...

what a catastrophe

My thoughts on the idea that repeatedly filing impeachment articles against the criminals in the US admin is pointless because they cant get the votes in the current Congress: fuck that.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Thank you for posting this @cristianfarias.com and thanks to José Mario de la Garza for writing it. Because the 1st paragraph in the 3rd screenshot is EXACTLY how I have felt about the Trump administration:

We are a rogue state, run by a dictator, and the international community should treat us as such including all appropriate economic and diplomatic sanctions

You can tell how much Trump cares about the wellbeing of Venezuelans by how he arbitrarily and cruelly revoked protected status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan-American immigrants just a few months ago.

I expect evil people to do evil things I also expect people selling themselves as a bulwark against those evil people to fight tooth and nail against the evil things evil people do only one of these groups is currently performing according to expectations

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Absofuckinglutely ghastly.

Let’s loosen our grip on the mofocken pearls, people, regarding the Kennedy Center. Yeah Big Gross Idiot Guy’s renaming schtick is bigly gross & idiotic, but jeebus folks isn’t the outright MURDEROUS behavior of more immediate concern?! No wonder we can’t crush this Nazi scourge!

“Sir, you wouldn’t come to this committee and say something you can’t prove, I know. I knew you wouldn’t do that,” Thompson said. www.mississippifreepress.org/where-does-a...

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

I couldn’t have said it any better.

What fresh racist buffoonery is this?

QUESTIONS: 1 why do people post *images of text* rather than posting the text itself, or a link thereto? 2 why do people who post images of text, even when providing Alt of the text itself, fail to cite where the text is from?

A cool thing I have seen reshared a couple of times without Alt text or with only the words reproduced.

the people who said "the bombing would stop if Gaza released the hostages" are very quiet lately

So many people, so many families in Gaza are living in such horrifying circumstances - I cannot help and it’s so hard to bear. Mona touched my consciousness a year ago and it’s so painful she and her kids still are suffering from Israel’s ongoing campaign to destroy their people.

If you believe me , thank you. If you want to share my voice , I’m grateful. If you still doubt me , please leave my page. I have no content to offer. I am not an influencer. I am simply… trying not to die. That’s all. chuffed.org/project/mona...

I very much hope that @murray.senate.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov and my Rep @repricklarsen.bsky.social heed this call.

Amen.

SO MUCH THIS!

Very good reminder.

“As a Republican, who overwhelmingly votes for President Trump‘s bills and agenda,” she might consider that “his aggression against [her]” and against everyone he has any dislike for is all part and parcel of that same hateful agenda she has so gleefully supported up to now.

The only thing I needed to read about the “what just happened” shutdown. I freudianly typed “shitdown” at first. It was a shutshow. And we have lost so much.

I put a 📌 in this to read in full later, when I have time/ mental bandwidth.I heard part of the Fresh Air interview on this topic last week and this Vought geezer is one abjectly malevolent mofo.
