If you live in Everett, Mass. and have any information about the 13-year-old boy abducted by ICE, please message me on Signal at marisakabas.04

Stop reading the NYT like it was the old NYT. Read it like it's the old Pravda.

The next episode of South Park is writing itself this afternoon.

I am so tired of our media letting weaselly little shits like Mike Johnson slide on these evasions. Why *aren’t* you aware of blatant violations of the Constitution, Mike?! What makes you at all capable of holding this job?? Why should anyone believe a word coming out of your shitty little mouth??

If you are a Texan being investigated for your connections to "radical leftist" groups, I am interested in representing you against harassment by Ken Paxton's office.

Release the #EpsteinFiles

Fascist Trump to cut funding here....

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

all the clips I've seen of Hegseth and Trump have been instructive because they leave 'hold for applause' moments in their remarks that are filled by silence, like watching a standup comic dropping bricks on stage

Same as it ever was.

why not opt-in? just ask permission first if this is truly a positive feature then surely copyright holders will be happy to participate and have their work included if asked just ask permission first

So exhausting..

Local news is still frontline. A1 Sunday Hartford (CT) Courant & Springfield (MA) Republican feature stories on Kirk-related assault on free speech on their state higher ed systems. No, it’s not radical critique; but it’s local news, and that’s part of the struggle, too.

@brianstelter.bsky.social You’ll be weighing in on this frightening disproportionality, right?

Trump wants to bring back manufacturing - starting with the demand that DOJ prosecutors manufacture evidence.

generally speaking, and with the glaring exception of november 2024, the more directly democratic an institution has been, the better it has checked Trump (eg grand and petit juries); the more elite and insular, the less effective (the Senate, the Supreme Court, big business)

hey if anyone knows jimmy kimmel and he wants to speak to an independent reporter in light of all the corporate fuckery, give him my info

i just spoke with a court clerk so charming i didn’t even mind that they’re charging fifty cents a page to email me PDFs, is that how baltimore got that nickname

The approaches to identical attacks are completely incompatible, because they focus on DIFFERENT PEOPLE. If a Republican is attacked, they focus on the attacker. What would make him do it? If a Democrat is attacked, they focus on the victim. What did they do to provoke it?

Just remembering this harrowing footage from 9/11 on the ground when people were running and this lady in a CVS was like "get in here! The dust will get you!" and this guy ran in and immediately after a cloud of black soot washed by the window and he said "you saved me!" and she said "bitch I know"

Thing is NYC was at its best that day real ass people on the same team trying to survive everyone was so proud to be American that day and then Congress and Bush used that sense of togetherness to wage war on people who weren't responsible for it and it led to this stuff today and, well, shit.

Go Bernie Go

And of course the tried and true pathway from claiming to be a civil rights lawyer to “seeing the light” and deciding you love Trumpism. The Damascus road paved w/a lucrative TV deal. The journey in 4 panels:

The OAH is documenting the experiences of federal workers affected by Trump’s purge. Let anyone interested in sharing their story know about it 🗃️ www.fecohp.org

CBO analysis of the One Big Beautiful Bill and how it impacts different parts of the income spectrum: —A net resource increase of $13,600, on average, for the top one-tenth of U.S. earners. —A net resource decrease of $1,200, on average, for the bottom one-tenth of U.S. earners.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

I went to last night’s ⚾️ game at Camden Yards, where my seatmate and I grieved the small crowd and, not coincidentally, another lackluster O’s showing. Postgame, seatmate googled the attendance figure. AI, that shining money-vacuuming jewel and job replacer of our age, reported:

Calling SCOTUS, come get your boy.

having these images so large and in front of you, its like being there again. check out the devin allen baltimore uprising exhibit at the bma before the guard is descending again if you need a reminder of what it was like to be occupied. @bydvnlln.bsky.social @lisasnowden.bsky.social

rfkjr: we just want people to be able to make choices about their own health america: cool can we choose to take the covid booster rfkjr: lol no

Distinction without a difference.

Again, there is no difference between how an active Russian agent would act and how the president of the United States acts.

A great display for the Smithsonian would be the Epstein files.

it *is* kinda crazy to me that cuomo’s whole platform seems to be “I am okay with genocide and ALSO the city is not expensive ENOUGH”

If Trump wants the DC streets cleared, he should just hold another military parade

NEVER FORGET — when the National Guard WASN’T called, and that he lied when he said he couldn’t.

This looks like an SNL skit, from wardrobe to posture to facial expressions.

As a DC resident I do feel that the city has been overrun by "violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals" and I would like them to leave the White House and stop destroying the federal government.

Makes you wonder, huh?

Andrew Cuomo is to Mario Cuomo what RFK Jr. is to RFK.

You'd think #AndrewCuomo being in #Epstein 's phonebook would be a bigger deal.
