The system working as intended. They want to push trans youth to either leave the state or take their own lives. Idaho got both outcomes here and now the lawsuit against them has to be dismissed.

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

Your regular reminder that nonviolent solutions are the only solutions. "Imagining that assassinating a president would solve any kind of problem is delusional. Presidents are chosen by the electorate; their supporters and their politics do not disappear when they die."

The US Supreme Court is rightfully viewed by the American people as a collection of unaccountable, arrogant, and hopelessly corrupt Republican politicians. John Roberts has been instrumental in creating this reality and if he doesn't like it he should look in a mirror.

Really sums up a favorite right wing grievance: what's offensive here aren't my actions, but your accurate descriptions of them

They’re basically admitting that creating nonconsensual deepfakes of women is not an unintended outcome of this technology but rather its main selling point, which some of us recognized all along

The WaPo editorial board when Republicans gerrymander in Texas versus when Democrats gerrymander in Virginia.

The AI economy looks...really precarious. So @matteowong.bsky.social & I did a bunch of reporting to try to figure out what happens when a potential bubble collides with a war in Iran and a potential resource shortage. The answer is...arguably the most dire stuff i've heard from smart ppl in a while

Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.

The case against the dystopian scenario of AI-fueled inequality says that the government will step in to prevent the worst economic outcomes. The people making that case are, themselves, working as hard as possible to prevent the government from doing so. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/capitalist...

This is an incredible photo.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

New from 404 Media: here is the user guide for ELITE, the tool Palantir made for ICE. A map shows people on a map; ICE clicks them, brings up their dossier. ICE uses to find which neighborhoods to target. We obtained it, you can now read the document for yourself: www.404media.co/here-is-the-...

There is not, and will never be, a police brutality victim that Republicans won't find a way to besmirch and delegitimize. Even if they have to bend over backward until their spines snap.

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

Folks, when the president threatens the unthinkable, the government must respond with the unthinkable: New Elections Now! The current crop of corrupt politicians isn't going to get us out of this mess. We need new leaders today. the13stripes.substack.com/p/dissolve-t...

Interesting from Lauren Egan. “A portion of the Democratic operative class is willing to concede massive amounts of funding will continue to be shoveled into Trump immigration operations.” My reaction: You can’t go wrong ignoring much of the Dem operative class. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

ICE terrorists are already spreading lies about what is clear in this video: www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

they ran on no more wars and are now pitching global conquest. they ran on protecting kids and are now paid subscribers to a deep fake kiddie porn generator. a competent opposition party would find a way to use this to their advantage

This looks like 1,000 videos I've seen from authoritarian states

If the US is allowed to kidnap foreign leaders at will, every country can do that. By the end of 2026 a number of nations will. World War Three has arrived, whether we admit it now or not. Hold your loved ones close. The coming struggle is going to be very long.

It is bad that we have a bunch of politicians in office who have sworn to uphold the US Constitution but have never read it, have no interest in reading it, and frankly do not even understand what a "constitution" is.

We wrote about the current moment and asked ourselves, "Is a revolution coming to America?" The answer is, "Maybe. But hopefully not." Revolutions happen in incredibly, and increasingly, dark times. Let's hope we don't get there. the13stripes.substack.com/p/this-revol...

Everyone. Everywhere. The president has declared war on the American people. We need to spread the truth about what that means.

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

BREAKING: VETERAN'S BEGIN A SIT-IN IN WASHINGTON DC AND WON'T STOP UNTIL THE MILITARY LEAVES TOWN

This sort of admission—the VP is involved in prosecutorial decisions, the "concerns" arise from political actors, and the administration knows they don't have probable cause—would have prompted the Founders to impeach everyone involved.

Outside Dupont north metro

imo a big problem right now is the fetishism for proper procedure that grips so many left-of-center elites, which leads them to believe that the only way to resist is lawsuits. sooner or later someone must realize that you have to simply refuse (or give a countermanding order) and face trump down

if i were a pro-trump financial type i might view the destruction of reliable government data with the kind of anger and apprehension that might lead me to reevaluate my politics, but then if i’m a financial guy throwing my weight behind strongman rule, i’m already too stupid to breathe

Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought." h/t @msnbc.com
