🧵This is hugely important & touches on a thing lots of folks haven't been faced with: You can't trust everyone who says they're on your side It's hard to vet people on the fly but skepticism goes a long way. In a case like this: Ask for a name & phone number & say you'll pass it along. That's IT.

Five concerts you’ve seen with women lead singers Erykah Badu Aretha Franklin Bahmadia Moonchild Mary J. Blige

Trump mocked Renee Good’s killing. I watched the video of this yesterday. And this is how the simps at the NY Times lie to their readers about it.

Now Matt Gaetz knows how you feel

ICE threw a flash bang at a car and it had six kids in it. All six children are in the hospital now.

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” said TJ Sabula, the UAW worker who heckled President Trump and who Trump flipped off and cursed at. “And today I think I did that.” Gift link: wapo.st/4sG38CD

“If anyone had predicted back in 2024 precisely what Trump’s return to the White House was going to look like, I suspect they’d have been accused of suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome,” our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

🕯️My cousin Brian passed away last night. After a courageous 3 wk stint with ICE. He slipped on a fellow agent’s frozen peepee puddle & somersaulted many times in the air, yelling “yabbada yabbada yabbada” & tragically aspirating (a different) agent’s pee he’d been gargling. He hated women🇺🇸💔

The national media, the ADL, corporate leaders, etc. are not revisiting their decisions about Musk now afaict. Musk is just allowed to be a very public Nazi accelerationist as well as a CSAM publisher without any mainstream scrutiny.

Relatedly, no responsible media outlet at this point can continue to cover this regime as normal or operating within the limits of acceptable mainstream politics.

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.

Early 2025: Trump admin tries to illegally shut down the CFPB, the newest member of the Federal Reserve system. Jay Powell says nothing. Summer 2025: Trump admin tries to illegally fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook. Powell says nothing. 2026: Trump admin comes for Powell. He finally finds his voice.

This is 100% correct. What bullies want is for their victims to cede territory. To slink away. They don't just want your lunch money. They want your fear and acquiescence. Don't give it away so easily.

Let’s be clear: if people sworn to enforce the law can tell you to get out of your car and then kill you if you just try to drive away, none of us are safe. None of us.

Every time.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican. He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

The text faded to the paywall at the same rate as my eyes would have glazed over anyway

the trump administration is living inside a social media dreamworld where the US is literally all-powerful and can do anything it wants to anyone it wants, and the US media, rather than pointing out this is deranged madness, is trying to demonstrate its neutrality by dignifying the fantasy

The same editorial board described Seattle’s mayor raising taxes to pay for childcare as a totalitarian power grab

I guess this is how we hear about a new war in the year of our lord 2026

"On Face the Nation, CBS News's chief legal correspondent went after Supreme Court critics as 'dangerous.'" www.lawdork.com/p/jan-crawfo... "And yet, her court defense was completely lacking in specifics." Everyone should read legal journalist Chris Geidner's reply to Jan Crawford of CBS News.

I don't understand this or the daily Bluesky posts re how we'll have new Nuremberg Trials after Trump. Trump committed unprecedented atrocities in his first term; Biden forgave him and his leading Nazi cohorts. Not a single 2028 Democratic Presidential contender has vowed to do what needs to be done

“The obstacles to achieving almost anything are enough to make any member who came to Washington with noble intentions ask: Why am I even here?,” Rep. Herschel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofsky writes. cc: @ditzkoff.bsky.social

"noble intentions"

Democrats can retaliate against these GOP gerrymanders with new maps in Illinois, Maryland, Oregon, & Virginia. They could flip 7 GOP seats to make up for this & new GOP maps in Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, & possibly soon Indiana. Imposing costs is the only way to deter the GOP from doing this

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

Not only am I not paying for Part 2, Ryan Lizza, I am seriously reconsidering whether to read anything at all ever again

Good morning. This is your reminder to get to the gym so that you can beat up racists if you have to.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Official statement from @jamestalarico.bsky.social on shutdown negotiations

for Boston sports radio callers

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up. I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:
