My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

The USA has the same problem, too. They staved off shrinkage by importing immigrants—but Trump's racist war on immigration is going to trash their long-term growth prospects if it isn't stopped. (Like everything else Trump touches, it turns to shit.)

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Here's @ryanlcooper.com on Russ Vought vowing to lay off federal workers if there's a shutdown... as if he's not been laying off workers repeatedly since Inauguration Day. prospect.org/blogs-and-ne...

Gentle reminder that in the late '50s, the U.S. government did not censor comics. Comics companies censored themselves. Not sure why that crossed my mind today but there it is...

l just canceled my Hulu subcription. Just the same way Disney and ABC canceled Jimmy Kimmel.

noting grimly that with the boating drone strikes we have definitively arrived at "how bad is extrajudicial killing, really?" but I continue to find it really strange that they did "children having cancer and communicable diseases is fine actually" first

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

We all need to be channeling Kung Fury in this moment in time

By embracing ultranationalism and national syndicalism without doing a mass genocide against citizens of his own country, Benito Mussolini did fascism the right way.

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

JD Vance is doing the Reichstag Fire the right way. by Ezra Klein

Championing the legacy of “free speech” by trying to destroy anyone who doesn’t agree with him

"When the rich rob the poor, the rich call it 'business'. When the poor fight back, the rich call it 'violence'." Mark Twain

Losing my goddamned mind. We can condemn political violence without valorizing a destructive, hateful bigot.

A new study finds dozens of heat waves would be "virtually impossible" without the activity of major fossil fuel producers, including oil companies.

condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath. Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history. So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

Fuck RFK jr and fuck this administration

We the people are the job creators who keep showing up and making America great right now!

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.

An(other) actual psychopath.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...

That’s a wrap on Day 1 of Pax West. Thanks to everyone who came by!!

Put another way, it's as if someone made a real life version of AI-slop in an effort to align reality with the slop.

“Some activists launched ‘No sleep for Ice’ rallies, with chants and music blaring through the night, in hopes of pressuring the hotels to kick agents out. Now, public records shared w/the Guardian show that the protests indeed sent federal agencies scrambling …” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

As someone who has stopped using Twitter ~3 years ago, after having been on it daily for the prior 16 years, it is *so* clear how much the current hateful and extreme state of the platform warps the views of its users, and NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT. I see the effect so much working in tech.

Will be hard to explain in the future that the US government went antivax, causing a lot of avoidable suffering and death, not in response to any negative incident with vaccines, but to the biggest, fastest, most successful, most impressive vaccine rollout in history.

Close, intelligent, in some cases near lifelong friends are starting to talk casually about the use of ChatGPT in their lives or in some cases are clearly getting paid/perks to promote its use and it’s like watching your social circle slowly, and with a big smile on their face, all join Scientology.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

DC and Puerto Rico. Has to happen.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

In general, you can expect to be paid lots of money to tell America that oligarchs are the solution to problems & you can expect to struggle to be paid anything to tell the truth about oligarchs being the actual problem. This simple axiom explains almost all of American media and politics.
