Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.

You know what? Fine, tech bros. You win. You get to do algorithmic pricing. But in return, we get to do algorithmic taxing on everyone with a net-worth over $5million. As a little treat.

Sweeping guilty verdicts in the federal Prairieland antifa cases. These cases were an effort by the Trump admin to prosecute anti-fascists as terrorists and further, prosecute dissent. This Texas trial was a test of his power. He won. This laid out the case and stakes: www.ms.now/news/antifa-...

Here we goooo (to jail for posting)

Highly placed sources within my bathroom acknowledged during a recent classified briefing that I had not planned for the possibility of vomiting after chasing a family-size bag of flamin' hot Cheetos with an entire fifth of 151 rum

Krav MAGA

Dear Lord, if You are listening... please let them call this Krav MAGA.

Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. See the problem here?

Thomson Reuters is best known for its media outlet and legal research tools, but it is also a huge data broker that provides investigative tools to the government, including ICE. Its Minneapolis workers aren't happy about that: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/t...

Under the stewardship of an alcoholic TV host, this is how the Department of Defense is spending our tax dollars:

On the plus side, with all this evidence the war crimes trials should be short.

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

you wonder, why do i get so bitter and acidic and cynical about politics? i grew into full adulthood watching bush's wargasm. this is the shit that got me into journalism and activism. this right here. this is the ballgame.

This one has been the hardest to process, the most horrifying, the most wrenching, and I wonder how many more we’ll see and how many more days and years we’ll wail and rage before we rise up and stop it. And I realize I don’t even know what that would look like, and I feel like I’ll break in two.

"The plan’s $38 billion budget is more than the total annual spending for 22 states." www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

We can’t tolerate another cycle of Democrats turning the page on these guys. We did it with Bush, Reagan, Bush II, Nixon and Trump I. Stop turning the page and throw the goddamned book. Lock them up.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

it is so embarrassing that we can’t get trump on the epstein stuff. After access Hollywood and Miss teen USA and the E Jean Carroll verdict, it’s like we let Jeffrey Dahmer go three times and then found him with a hundred human heads and we‘re standing there like are you SURE these aren’t yours

NEW: CBP signs a new deal with Clearview AI to access its scraped image database for "tactical targeting," including efforts to “disrupt, degrade, and dismantle” networks of people labeled security threats.

The VA Secretary was just asked — by @ramirez.house.gov — if vets who are deported also get their benefits cut off. The secretary said it depends.

One of the most miserable things about living in this era is having to watch the stupidest & most arrogant people in the world have to relearn The Why of literally everything good that we collectively do the hard way. The answer is always ‘Because a bunch of people died, fuckwit.’

this is so funny because it's like, oh my god, what an awful question for a news show. and then wham the answer is so much worse somehow

We want ICE abolished and their agents hauled before Nuremberg style tribunals. Anything less is a policy failure.

So QAnon spent years spreading conspiracy theories that the government was run by a cabal of elite pedophiles and it turns out they supported the actual cabal of elite pedophiles to get into power and destroy democracy.

Thank you to all in Minnesota, Chicago, Los Angeles and elsewhere who outsmarted, outlasted, and out-organized this man and his horde. And especially to the memory of those who sacrificed all for their community.

Remarkable work documenting a year of escalations, from @chrischirp.bsky.social. “a chart of actions over the last year – I’ve logged almost 200 and so have only been able to label the most significant”: christinapagel.substack.com/p/the-ice-st...

Trump's DOJ has been ordered to embark on a sweeping crackdown on "left-wing domestic terrorism." Civil liberties experts warn it could lead to a level of politicized FBI surveillance of Americans not seen since the era of J. Edgar Hoover and COINTELPRO.

Every few months you get carpet bombed with updated Privacy Policies from every single app & website you use and at this point I'm just assuming that by now I've already handed some company like FedEx or maybe even just Del Taco ownership of my organs.

A Turn Up/Turn Down frequency-of-seeing-posts from any particular user dropdown slider thingy is all I've ever wanted. Don't want to block or mute... let's just settle down a little bit for a moment, together.

*mechanic wipes his hands on a rag* Well, there’s your trouble *points to a lifetime of crippling depression and anxiety*

Get us Medicare for All Zohran, compliment his hair

I've been saying for 10 months that the U.S. political system was starting to remind me of Guatemala and El Salvador, two countries I extensively covered. (don't ask about my anxieties over this) This is a great comparison of the factors that led to the co-oping of the state apparatuses.

Epstein files gonna reveal the Trumps and Clintons were partner swapping, huh?

ICE vs the clergy

"Planners say the facility will also hold hundreds of mentally ill homeless people under court-ordered civil commitment and the effort will include an “accountability center” for those with addictions."

Remake of The Fan where De Niro kidnaps and threatens to harm Decoy unless Shohei Ohtani stops swinging at first pitches and hits some homers with RISP during the postseason.

Stephen Miller has said it out loud: he considers Antifa a terrorist organization on the level of Tren de Aragua, and intends to put members behind bars "Antifa" has always been a catch-all term for protesters and leftists

with practice, practice, practice this works and makes life so much less stressful when stuck dealing with certain personality types and groups...

Fox News host on mentally ill people who commit crimes: “Just kill them” www.mediamatters.org/fox-friends/...

"What these documenters were more disturbed by was the ability of their friends and neighbors to continue functioning as if the world had not fundamentally changed."

At least the Three Percenters, Proud Boys and other white power militia guys can wear their sheriff and police badges now.

A recent Executive Order criminalizing homelessness calls for the institutionalization of people with disabilities. #homelessness #menatlhealth #disabilities progressive.org/latest/keepi...

As someone who has learned from and reported on families who had loved ones disappeared in Guatemala, Chile, and Uruguay, I can say that countries rarely fully recover from the trauma and harm of disappearances. At the same time I have no idea how to report on this happening here in the US right now

"Law enforcement can now involuntarily institutionalize “individuals with mental illness who pose risks to themselves or the public or are living on the streets and cannot care for themselves.” Who makes the mental health diagnosis? Unclear. What institutions will these people be sent to?"

Leavitt says that Trump will imprison homeless people who refuse to go to shelters

The opportunity to work on something like this is why we pursue careers in graphic design.
