Jaylen Brown on X says he’ll stop streaming if ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith agrees to retire: “let’s give the people what they want.”

This case is only happening because a racist president created an ultraconservative Supreme Court, and a handful of extremely thirsty law professors are trying to get the racist president’s attention for an appeals court judgeship. It’s all very stupid and embarrassing, and also *really might work*.

KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly? BIER: DHS tweeted for 100m deportations. That would be ethnic cleansing! K: You don't think it's hyperbolic? B: I think advocating 100m deportations is ethnic cleansing. Yes. Your time is up

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

it’s good this happened and it’s another reason the death penalty should not exist. this never should’ve had to come down to a last minute decision by a governor. we suck at the death penalty, get rid of it

Good statement from the US conference of Catholic Bishops

thank god we’re all against political violence

They’ll ask you to mourn the deaths they mourn, and no others. They’ll ask you to cherish the lives they cherish, and no others.

condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.

@iwriteok.bsky.social do you have a raoul Wallenberg book rec?

bidens “border bill” wasnt just immoral, it was one of the biggest political mistakes ive seen in my lifetime not only immoral but completely handicapped the party from capitalizing on this backlash, everyone involved should be drummed out of politics forever

I don't care what we have to do but if you support Hakeem Jeffries becoming the next Speaker you are not serious about fighting fascism

When ICE began as an agency in March 2003, 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” was topping the Hot 100. That was 22 years ago. Takeaways: You, dear reader, are old. But ICE is a very new agency.

The Trump Administration and “moderate centrists” determined to redeem themselves from what they imagine as their “failure” to quell the George Floyd protest movement.

For the love of god please don’t sit down in the middle of a protest

a lot of the people who will chastise you for criticizing Dems instead of focusing on Trump are surprisingly willing to criticize protestors instead of focusing on Trump

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

All of these violent, lawless ICE officers terrorizing communities and hiding their faces weren't just hired this year. It's why dismantling ICE as an agency was so important and remains so. These people are unfit to be public servants if they hate the public.

i shot myself in the butt with a substance that changes the course of my body and makes me the enemy of the state if that ain't punk i don't know what is

It’s funny how often the “best thing for the party” reasonable set threatens to wreck whole elections if they don’t get their way.

Details on Khalil and the Jena prison he is confined in: - saw child for the first time via 9 photos printed at Walmart - lost 15-20 lbs b/c of vile food - dorms sleep 70 to room in 35 bunks - lights on 24/7 - dorms are kept frigid - the facility was fixed up in advance of congressional visit

happy may day, workers and parasites

Posting tonight ti shine a light on what the Alien Enemies Act looks like IRL. Our @immdef.bsky.social client fled Venezuela last year & came to US to seek asylum. He has a strong claim. He was detained upon entry because ICE alleged his tattoos are gang related. They are absolutely not. 🧵

Only 9 Democrats voted against advancing the Laken Riley Act: Booker Hirono Kim Markey Merkley Sanders Schatz Smith Warren The Democrats could have blocked the 60 votes needed to advance. They didn't. They are already caving. Thank the 9, and yell at the rest.

in 1977 Jimmy Carter suggested that Americans wear a sweater to keep energy costs down, and I had a Republican colleague who in 2022 would still bring it up about once a month.
