This is my new favorite liberal podcast. @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

If ICE thinks it's okay to assault a pastor in broad daylight, imagine what they're doing in the dark.

Merrick Garland green-lit the search of Mar-a-Lago. It happened in August 2022 three months before Jack Smith was appointed. Jack Smith was in the Netherlands at the Hauge prosecuting Kosovo war crimes when Mar-a-Lago was searched. Eric should have listened to my podcast.

there is a government shutdown with no end in sight and it’s not even really the lead story rn because the president can’t stop invading American cities for no reason other than spite

We would like to thank Kristi Noem for bringing cameras with her everywhere and collecting evidence for her future trial at The Hague.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

really can’t say enough about how mike johnson is a sniveling little coward of a man. a bayou-bred pushover with a dignity deficit that would embarrass renfield

On this day in 1953, a Birmingham police commissioner banned an interracial All-Star baseball game organized by Jackie Robinson since it was a "mixed athletic event."

The people who did this, including Musk and his pathetic minions, should be made pariahs for these actions alone, yet they have done so much other damage, too. So sad and so horrible.

Is it OK to call what is happening fascism yet? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

I’m sorry but the fact that this is not everywhere is kind of malpractice

it was all over for tv journalism when Fox News was allowed to call themselves Fair & Balanced

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

There it is

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

Healthcare should be guaranteed as a human right #MedicareForAll @salaambhattiva.bsky.social

Pro-tip: the people zip-tying kids or shoving the elderly down stairs are never the good guys.

If your idea of what the president can and cannot do depends on who the president is, I don’t want to hear anything more. You’re either an idiot or an authoritarian, and I don’t want to hear anything else out of your mouth.

Either you're against fascism, or you're foolish enough to believe it won't come for you.

Speaker Johnson continues to stall the swearing in of Rep.-elect Grijalva so as to avoid having to deal with the Epstein discharge petition. Why shouldn’t Dems make support for reopening the government contingent on adding to the funding measure a provision mandating release of the Epstein files?

"We're gonna crash some planes if you don't fund ICE."

Turning the military on citizens. Attempting to rig elections. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

"Dying itself is no cause for celebration, but finding comfort in the joys of everyday pleasures and the extraordinary opportunities of ordinary experiences is more than enough reason to cheer." My @hammertonail.bsky.social @newnextfilmfest.bsky.social review of ANDRE IS AN IDIOT is now up. #filmsky

Just a reminder that authoritarians use the vulnerabilities of liberal democracy against itself, including concepts of "free speech" and the "healthy exchange of ideas." They do not value these things. They are not sincerely held principles. They're cudgels and they will erase them once in power.

This is all basically the revenge of the Confederacy.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities. Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement. It’s illegal and un-American.

They’re not acting like they’re in a four-year term. They’re acting like they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

Thou Shalt Not Declare War On Thine Own Country.

Idiocracy was unrealistic only because we got dumber quicker than the movie anticipated

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

For everyone still shopping on Amazon… www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Media askes... Are We Witnessing a ‘Soft Coup’? Let me be clear, If you are asking this question, you are living under a rock, you're just waking up, or you are completely irrelevant in the journalistic world.

Just watched @albertbirney.bsky.social's OBEX at the 2025 @newnextfilmfest.bsky.social and now here is my @filmfestivaltoday.bsky.social review. #filmsky

Hurting their own

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism. I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

This kind of story never surprises me

Every day I log on and just see endless videos of ICE agents breaking state, federal, and international laws.

The right wants to make a big deal out of Kristi Noem being denied access to a police bathroom in Illinois. They cast themselves as victims while they kidnap people. They’re trying to incite a shootout between ICE and police so Trump can declare martial law to prevent release of the Epstein Files.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation. This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

We have not just the right but the obligation to disagree with the government. It is the essence of what it means to be free.
