Jeeeesus Christ. This Nazi regime can’t end soon enough.

And the same data that's being used to "verify age" today will be used by ICE tomorrow to figure out who to round up for a concentration camp: www.wired.com/story/ice-as... You can't protect kids from online surveillance by spying on them. You just *can't*. 24/

The ideology in question is opposing fascism. This horrific action is a shot across the bow at all of us—everyone who cares about their neighbors, who dares to dream of a better world, who opposes ICE terror and authoritarian repression. We cannot allow the state to disappear them.

30, 50, 70, and 100-year sentences for the Prairieland defendants so far. Dark day, man. Truly.

ugh-scotus guts individual liability under RLUIPA (&basically says all spending clause statutes don't provide for individual liability) so tally today: victims of human rights violations & beneficiaries of public benefits programs can't sue. oil companies can. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Wow. Prairieland defendants being handed sentences between 40 and 100 years. For background on this case: www.ms.now/news/antifa-...

Beautiful supercell south of Akron, Colorado

Edgewater has really blossomed this summer, and I'm not just talking about the rent. Broadway and Sheridan still kinda suck though.

Time is a flat circle.

Saw this at Foster Beach on Sunday morning, just hopping around all the people (there weren't many)

SCOTUS just found a way to strike yet another blow to the VRA. In brief, their move means that, within the 8th circuit, there is no more right for individuals or organizations to sue over violations of Section 208, which among other things protects people with disability.

Sounds like a natsec issue to me. More and more people are saying that we should nationalize SpaceX, xAI, and Twitter.

The name thing is a bit odd.

Piping plover chick running around at Montrose Beach

I finally got to go outside. I've been on shit duty at work all week.

The weather is delightfully angsty at the moment.

Dunno if we'll get to witness Russia's full retreat from occupied Ukraine, but that would be spectacular.

It's a Flying Nun sort of day

Awesome.

It’s time for Bluesky to witness a beautiful structured green / orange supercell with a backlit tornado video 🌪️🌪️🌪️

The Spokane 3 were just convicted and are awaiting sentencing. The same just happened in DFW. Not to mention the many state charges against protesting or the thousands who are being illegally kidnapped, detained, and deported without due process.

MS NOW EXCLUSIVE: Kash Patel may have a 'personal slush fund' of taxpayer dollars to pay loyalist agents, according to Rep. Jamie Raskin. Raskin is demanding documents from Patel — citing claims that $8,000 payments are made to agents who carry out "unlawful partisan and personal orders."

New: We've been tracking reports of ICE activity across Chicagoland for five weeks. In that time, rapid responders have seen an escalation as feds have abducted dozens, caused at least two car crashes, threatened community members with weapons and flouted state courthouse protections. Read more:

Potentially up to 15 legal observers in Minneapolis have been arrested so far today. 06.16.2026 PLEASE SEND THIS TO YOUR COMRADES DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR

As the government raids “antifa groups” in Minneapolis with the SAME charges levied against myself and the rest of the Broadview Six, we need to be asking how they got this indictment. And as charges (hopefully) get dropped, we must remember the process is the punishment.

BREAKING WSJ: The Trump Justice Department's senior leadership closed an investigation of Paramount's bid for Warner Bros. Discovery before career staffers who were concerned about the acquisition had an opportunity to object, according to people familiar with the matter.

I’m not sure people realize how huge this problem is. During Trump 1.0, ~5,000 kids were separated from parents at the border. During Trump 2.0, the Brookings Institution estimates *145,000* US citizen kids have been separated, mostly in the country's interior www.brookings.edu/articles/how... 5/x

JD Vance can NEVER become president under any circumstance. When Trump is so far gone that he must be impeached and removed, Vance must be removed, too. Here's the evidence

Journalists have a duty to tell the public that the president and his aides are seriously considering suspending habeas corpus *when it is happening* rather than saving it for a book rollout over a year later

Russia struck the Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, setting its roof on fire. Built in the 11th century, the cathedral is the main church of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Ukraine's most important Christian shrines.

If you use Waymo driverless car services, you are aiding and abetting fascism. Waymo helps I.C.E. agents locate people to terrorize and abduct. The company willingly shares all facial recognition, license plate and GPS data with I.C.E. and other law enforcement agencies—no subpoena required.

For all the talk of genocide elsewhere, this is going to end up as the largest scale mass killing event in modern history. A crime against humanity & the rule of law of almost unimaginable proportions for which Musk must be marched in chains to the courthouse & then to jail for the rest of his life.

holy shit "we expect people to be constantly driven from their homes and never allowed to put down roots in a community and we think this is a net positive"

Sounds like a matter of national security. Nationalize it.

It makes sense if investors think democracy is cooked.

Abraham Lincoln: "it happens that we meet together once every year, sometime about the 4th of July, for some reason or other. These 4th of July gatherings I suppose have their uses. If you will indulge me, I will state what I suppose to be some of them… /1

"As punishment for organizing a hunger strike in a WA detention camp, federal immigration agents forced 44-year-old Cuban national Rogelio Bolufé onto a plane early this month, threatened him with torture, took him to Ecuador, and left him there with nothing." prospect.org/2026/06/12/f...

One board member said the FBI approached some without warrants. “They had agents all across the state going to civil rights leaders and community leaders’ doors intimidating them, coming and demanding that they talk about literally anything they would ask.” “Just straight-up intimidation tactics.”

I enjoy hearing the live wx hosts mispronounce small Midwestern town names.

Buttigieg: We sit in a in a country that's got the wrong number of people on the Supreme Court, possibly the wrong number of representatives in the House of Representatives. And by the way, when you consider the disenfranchisement of the people of DC, we have the wrong number of states in the US
