I feel like ALL of the "important" intellectuals of the past 20 years are racing to destroy their legacies.

I may have to start a regular reminder that Scott McCaffrey is a reactionary clown.

This Is so prevalent on BlueSky. Everything is a corporate exploitation story. There are so many productive observations that get stuck in the mental queue behind corporate exploitation. So much waste.

This is like predicting the rise of Trump halfway through his first term.

You do it how you think you need to comply with the law, up until a judge tells you how to do it to comply with the law. Otherwise you are breaking the law.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Wait, did they edit an interview? Did they not air every second? I heard that’s grounds for a multimillion lawsuit

So very easily manipulable. Abuse this weakness if you believe in defending the constitution.

ICE sent a Massachusetts 7th grader 500 miles away without his parents or even telling them

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous. This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

"That's not what happened" "Obama was a meanie too" "Whoever was handling Biden was a meanie too" "Those children weren't angels" "This is acceptable" Pick your fighter.

ICE is buying a location tracking tool that harvests data from hundreds of millions of phones a day. Protect your location data by updating a few settings on your phone 🧵 (1/4): www.404media.co/ice-to-buy-...

This is the thing elected dems seem unable to swallow. There is no realistic modus vivendi where somehow remain a functioning liberal democracy after 3 years of Trump. He is removed or we become Azerbaijan. Removal is ultimately the only goal that matters.

They want you to listen and to be afraid. That's their mission when they speak. So when they open their mouths is when to decline their attention seeking.

Today's speech by Donald Trump was not among the most dangerous ever given by a US public official. It was the most dangerous. And it's not even close.

Dutch late night TV has its take

The weakest minds, the biggest blowhorns

Corporate media bravely continues Charlie Kirk's legacy by committing to destroy the careers of anyone who disagreed with him: www.404media.co/comcast-nbcu...

But it didn’t openly say that. And I think there’s an analogy here. These briefs claim power that would functionally end the constitutional order. But they’re dressed up as dictates of existing law.

I want my wife and all my friends to stop fight so hard to save democracy so that we can hang out

Tomorrow is a very good day to impeach a president and his entire cabinet. Today would be good too, but tomorrow will work for me.

OoooOOooo they were clOooOooSe to it!

In the vein of Brad Lander eating a hot dog on a roller coaster, this is A+ comedy.

Your semi-regular reminder that @altnps.bsky.social is 100% pure LARPing BlueAnon grift that's unsourced theft of other reporting at best and active disinformation at worst and you should not give them a single bit of attention

So kinda feels like we’ve conclusively proved there’s more way more of us then there are of them and now we need to, with clear eyes, look at the platform, the messaging, and the candidate quality to turn marchers into voters. Gotta give people something, can’t just say other guy sucks.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

Absolute clown shit

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

This man has had enough.

Based on the parade route, the footage of tanks crossing the bridge will be prominent. We need a protest flotilla on the Potomac. I can’t be there because I will be at Mayday’s Impeachment Action Center, but any #nova people want to borrow my paddle boards to protest the fascist parade?

I can’t believe this is real

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

Around D.C., the new going rate is well-known: $5 million for a one-on-one dinner with Trump, but gov-affairs execs have “no clue where the money is eventually going,” one said. Another told me it’s “outer-borough Mafia sh*t.” My new piece is out @newyorker.com www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

An important signal to send that illegally appeasing Trump now could lead to future prosecution for bribery www.warren.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

We deserve JD Vance antipope at this point.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Listened to the Decoder Episode with @reckless.bsky.social and the Reuters CEO Steve Hasker and my respect for Reuters has gone up massively. It's so refreshing to hear a news organisation trying to make factual news accessible while still keeping to their core values. Defo subscribing now

For the umpteenth - but almost certainly not last time - the institutions of the American economy depend on the institutions of American democracy.

I feel if everyone pushes for this and incorporates this into their national protest themes, it will gain more traction. My sign? Simple and to the point. #FightBack #StandingInSolidarity #AmericaServesNoKings

Everyone come to Washington, you’ll have a month and free rein to make the govt more efficient. If you can’t, then go home and stfu. Next month we’re doing the measles camp. Every parent must bring their kids and either have a vaccine or stay in the camp.

What ARE we doing Hakeem? Making silly speeches about one of the 100 daily acts of patronage. That’ll show them.

If Trump was not President right now, he would 100% be saying that India and Pakistan would not be fighting if he was President right now.

Mr. Ceesay is a 63-year old man thrown into ICE detention with no warning in February after 14 years of check-ins — where he had a heart attack soon after. Judge Vilardo uses his case to emphasize WHY due process matters, even if deportation is the outcome. It's worth reading this whole thing.

Gosh. Who could have predicted the sketchy app the WH was using to "archive" its Signal chats is a security disaster?

Honestly this is just incredible content.
