Elon Musk et al are totally fucking up the night sky ALREADY and they plan to make it worse 🔭 www.skyatnightmagazine.com/news/satelli...

I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

This is really suspicious. They’re up to something. Link to thread: x.com/mattberg33/s...

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

The Robers #SCOTUS brought autocracy to the US. Stop voting GOP. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

Do they all get deported now? Is that how this works?

Reading through Sourav Roy and Tuhin Bhowal’s fine anthology of contemporary Hindi poetry, PERENNIAL, I was stopped cold by Seth Michelson’s razor-sharp translation of Rati Saxena’s devastating “Refugee”—a poem for our time, for all times. “…like kites holding tight / to the ruins…”

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

The bill will prohibit public bodies from entering into agreements used to detain individuals for federal civil immigration violations. The bill will also require the termination of any such existing agreements.

For @forward.com, I wrote about HIAS's office in Vienna closing and American power's racist approach toward refugees and immigrants a century ago and also right now forward.com/opinion/8030...

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Gestapos opened fire, striking Martinez 5 times in the arm, chest & both legs 1 gestapo had body cam ... Martinez has said in court that it shows an officer shouting "do something b--" The gestapo who shot her, in a group text: "I fired 5 rounds & she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys."

Name them shame them

Unbelievably honored to be endorsed by the Girl, I Guess voter guide! As establishment forces rush to anoint the same tired power brokers, GIG does the opposite. It looks past the status quo and asks a more important question: Who will actually fight for real change?

So weird how this keeps happening. www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...

Here’s the worst part about my name being in the Epstein Files: He didn’t even email his friend MY article. He emailed an aggregation of my article with my name in it. It's one thing to be the world's most evil pedophile, but at least read primary source materials when doing non-pedophile stuff.

in real terms, #7 would give states leverage to put an end to surges, #8 would give states the ability to outright stop construction of new detention facilities, #1 and #6 would slow the rate at which DHS could train and deploy officers, #2 and #10 would likely shrink the pool of recruits

One more comment on the Post debacle: this hurts journalism broadly. Good journalists will go do something else. The rest will be fighting for fewer jobs and everyone will earn less. Fewer people will take up the career. The damage done is to the ecosystem, as well as the paper.

A Corinthian delight: three examples of ancient caricatures. The pyxis at the top shows a child-like Herakles drawing water from a fountain. On the lower left, a kylix depicting a woman playing the usually all-male drinking game kottabos. On the lower right, Artemis and her curious dog. 🏺 1/ 📸 me

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

WH Press Corps is mostly a collection of shiteating wormtongues.

This is Milo. He has the reflexes of a sloth and the composure of a statue. Learning catch is going to take a minute. 12/10 (TT: milocrazy8)

Oh. A group of states led by Colorado will appeal a federal judge’s ruling that imposed only modest limits on Alphabet Inc.’s Google contracts related to its search engine and artificial intelligence apps. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠

It’s gotten to the point where you’ll be surprised if something terrible in the world wasn’t planned out in the Epstein emails. You’ll be searching for Wendy’s Spicy Chicken not hitting the way it used to and be like “wow I guess he didn’t have anything to do with that one”

NYPD sued over ‘stop and frisk’ of minority drivers. "The [NYCLU] & Bronx Defenders brought the lawsuit after data showed that of the nearly 75,000 vehicles searched... over the past 4 years, 84% had Black or Latino drivers, while less than 4% had white drivers.” www.democracynow.org/2026/2/3/hea...

I want folks to realize white people are not fighting for a better country. They are fighting to go back to being able to ignore the horrors of police brutality and the belief that the best expression of civic good is voting for a candidate aligned with US imperialism. We're not on the same team.

Katlin Collins. During the election, she utterly pissed me off, regularly. She was one of the worst offenders, when it came to her support of Trump. A woman who enjoys spending time with Scott Jennings... Taking her picture with him, at award shows. This is what the dumb bitch earned for herself.

GO GET YOU SOME MELIA!!

Wyden sending this note, Gabbard calling Trump from Fulton election offices, the mysterious CIA whistleblower report that is so secret that they haven't even shown it to Congress ... what the fuck is even going on?

In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD. Just some facts I think bear repeating.

Incredible. They destroyed a great newspaper because they hated the people who actually paid for it and read it so much that they'd rather scrap the paper if they couldn't get Tucker Carlson's audience bsky.app/profile/maxt...

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are his net worth is $253.2 billion. so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire and then do it again tomorrow and again the day after that and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

OH NOES I NO CAN HAZ E COLI ???

They all talk like those social media accounts that are written from the perspective of a pet cat

This. Exactly this.

Bezos has the resources to make WaPo into the BEST sports outlet and BEST science outlet and BEST place to get trusted news without feeling any sort of negative financial impact but is happy to turn it into Quillette because he’s lost whatever creative spark he had and turned into a vapid dullard

This is the way 💥 ☠️ 🤣

First, all the blondes looked alike. Now, the brunettes do too. Run.

I personally do not think some rich man should be able to buy an institution like this like a toy and then break it when he doesn’t want to play with it anymore. bsky.app/profile/benm...
