And in today's every accusation is a confession: The ruling regime that "won" the White House, House and Senate claims our system is rife with fraud. newrepublic.com/post/206857/...

Dayum. Just heard a minister say, as perhaps only Black ministers can, “We will fight until hell freezes over, and then we will fight on the ice.” I’m stealing that!!

😕🇺🇸

Yeah, that line stuck out to me, too. Like... right there, the paper is editorializing and framing this as if trans people aren't actually a thing. Just people who "identify as transgender."

I had to.

I am never going to get over the fact thar so many Americans died that corpses stacked up in nursing homes and hospital morgues, that refrigerator trucks had to be brought in for the overflow, and that the big takeaway from Important Pundits is there should have been *less* mitigation.

Just a reminder that most of the MAGA influencers don’t actually have any principles or positions on anything. Whatever gets them clicks and engagement. It’s all a grift.

Stephen Miller is the devil on both of Donald Trump's shoulders.

Normalization is how democracy quietly dies.

This sounds unbelievable but its true: since Bezos acquired The Post, his wealth has grown tenfold and the Post has been cut in half. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-trust-...

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

They can’t figure out how to spend the extra $500 billion they gave themselves for the military, but cut our healthcare and food assistance because they said they couldn’t afford it.

Immigration agents keep lying, the "Justice" Department keeps prosecuting innocent people, and the cases keep collapsing in court. Trump's thugs aren't fighting violent criminals – they *are* violent criminals. 1/2🧵

“The U.S. military has carried out strikes every three or four days since the new leader of the Southern Command, Gen. Francis L. Donovan of the Marine Corps, took over last month after the previous commander, Adm. Alvin Holsey, abruptly retired.… Holsey had expressed concerns about the strikes.”

If your entire belief system is "mirror universe of liberals" and liberals don't like murder, well...

Will we break through to $160K and our next stretch goal today? It will unlock two more Astonishing Adventures for M&M 4e: "Green Thumb, Black Heart" involving the Green Man in Freedom City and "The Lost Library" a pulp-style adventure in the 1920s of Titan City!

PSA for Discord's new age verification! If you get hit by it and refuse to give them any ID or face scans as you should, here's a way to just... bypass it. Go to Settings - Family Centre and then just enter a date of birth that's 18+ It's really that simple. Give them nothing.

Stop treating Trump's 2026 election theft as a hypothetical. It's happening.

"Treason doth never prosper, what’s the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it Treason." - John Harrington (And yes, a right wing nut job wrote a book with a title based on this poem. Every accusation is a confession goes back a long way.)

The fake news will say I said what I said in the previous sentence.

"So the President is immune to any sort of legal prosecution or consequence but is free to sue the government and order taxpayers to pay him billions of dollars?" SCOTUS: "As the founders intended. But no tariffs!"

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

This looks like fun. And worth supporting the devs since the Usual Haters have review-bombed it. #Relooted #videogame www.xbox.com/en-US/games/...

For non-gamers... one of the most important people in the business of making video games just got pushed out by Microsoft for a person who needs to "ask questions" about "how games are made" but has lots of experience pushing AI on people who don't want it.

I have friends being threatened by their workplaces over the use of toilets they've been using for years without problem.

“We were stunned [about the prescience] for a while, but we’ve really gotten to the point where it’s really sad. It’s just sad how predictable and lame and obvious and wrong it all is. Fascism is just a total fail in the end.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

I'm a neo-pagan. Loosely Wiccan. If you told me ten years ago that I'd take the Pope over the US President, I would have laughed. Yet here we are.

Two things are simultaneously true: 1. The Iranian regime treats its people with extreme brutality and cruelty, and we should honour the citizens seeking to overthrow it. 2. A US attack on Iran would turn a crisis into a catastrophe.

Why are folks not asking more questions about this FBI complaint in the Epstein Files? www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

More lawless slaughter at sea by the Trump administration under the specious guise of counterterrorism. Fake counterterrorism. Make believe armed conflict. Real killing.

"'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says." #AbolishICE #NoKings

Dr. Simpson nails the issue. RFK Jr's demand that all vaccines be tested against placebos reflects a complete disregard for medical ethics. Following the horrors of "Untreated Syphilis Study" at Tuskegee, researches NEVER deny care to study participants. It is immoral to do so, or to suggest it.

Trump wasn't elected in a vacuum. A horrible person became president twice because horrible people kept voting for him.

Did CBP deliberately target Marimar Martinez? I don't know, but they were sure interested in her (even if they got some of their facts almost hilariously wrong). www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRZo...

There's always a tweet.

Correct. Rep. Jody Barrett (Left) Sen. Mark Pody (Right)

😕

Russia Russia Russia is back back back.

You know the song: "every accusation is a confession."

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A reminder that no matter how many videos of ICE abuses appear online, a chunk of America, a big chunk of Trump’s base, is not just totally fine with it, they want it, enjoy it, revel in it. The cruelty is indeed the point. The rest of us non-sociopaths need to reckon with that depressing reality.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8oJ... With all the talk about James Talarico, I feel like it's important to remind folks that @jasmineforus.bsky.social is a *class act.*

And it only now occurs to me that this dissent basically says the law doesn't matter if following it is too inconvenient. Which I'm sure is a precedent he will apply equally and not just to the Orange Skull.

Once more with feeling: "The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation." Trump's Ministries: the Board of Peace, Press Office, DHS, and DOGE. They're pretty much 1 to 1.

Trump thinks that anyone who believes in honor, integrity, or decency is a sucker and loser. He wants to recruit people with the same unethics. The fish rots from the head.

Does...does a Supreme Court Justice not understand that it doesn't matter *if* Congress can delegate an authority if it *didn't?*
