If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

the "kidnap a significant international star" fuck-up happened a little sooner than i expected

world cup bout to be an utter 👏shit👏show👏

Kentucky GOP is preparing a power grab. Justice Goodwine was a liberal gain on the state Supreme Court in 2025, they’re now looking to impeach her.

Maybe Dimon can share his concern with Susan Collins.

So far, Putin and Bibi Netanyahu have signed up for Trump’s Bored of Peace. Isn’t that the exact opposite of peace?

This story gets worse and worse.

For my latest, I went deep on the anti-voting right's war on vote centers.

Deleting this. The local report indicated that his family didn’t know where he was; other reporting suggests he’s with his father which, let’s hope.

As with all things Trump, wait until you see a signed agreement with specifics, and wait until you see who signs it. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Smart play by the Clintons. Contempt isn’t the risk…discovery is. And…discovery is where buried files have a bad habit…of surfacing.😎🔥

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them that the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Premium or free, subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

You’ll love this!! The one and only @joelmrubin.bsky.social joins me to discuss the complete shit show Trump has caused on the world stage. Please watch, share and follow Joel!!

We’re not calling ICE the Gestapo because we think it’s a cool insult for social media. We’re calling ICE the Gestapo because they’re terrorizing and murdering people. Like the Gestapo did.

Breaking WaPo: The recent death of a detainee at an immigrant detention camp in Texas has been officially deemed a homicide, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday by the El Paso County Office of the Medical Examiner.

How do you pause an injunction barring cops from using retaliatory violence against **peaceful** protesters? That's . . . already illegal. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

The Republicans' Big Ugly Bill gave billions of dollars to "supercharge" ICE—and the cuts to your healthcare are what's paying for it. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

Firestorm ignites as secret ICE memo authorizes agents to storm homes with no warrants

A Cuban detainee’s death at an El Paso federal immigration detention center was ruled a homicide Wednesday, with the medical examiner finding he was suffocated while restrained, contradicting immigration officials’ claim that he died by suicide.

“.. The United States is being ushered off the international stage. History will remember that as Trump’s most significant contribution.” @timothynoah.bsky.social @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2055...

This is Putin’s “acceptance” of Trump’s offer to join the Board of Peace.

Tonight: new details are emerging about what we should expect from fmr. Special Counsel Jack Smith's hearing before the House Judiciary committee tomorrow. Lawmakers are expected to question Smith on his investigations into Donald Trump. @rokhanna.bsky.social joins The Weeknight to discuss.

NEW: "Because federal agents are terrorizing the community, community members are going hungry, can’t safely go to work, and can’t pay their bills out of fear that they could be violently thrown against cement, arrested, flown to Texas to be detained, & deported." www.thebulwark.com/p/24-hours-a...

Today Dallas County declared Tommy Lee Walker innocent of a 1953 murder for which he was wrongfully executed 70 years ago. Arrested at 19, executed within 3 years. A life stolen. Justice much delayed. Awed by the Walker family's persistence. So proud of this @innocenceproject team.

WATCH: Bovino uses green chemical gas on Minnesotans because he got his tiny feelings hurt (H/T @mnicewatch)

#SCOTUS is likely to do the right thing in the Lisa Cook case. But it's worth bearing in mind that this idea that the Fed is some bespoke exception to the unitary executive theory is utterly incoherent as a matter of both law and history—and is really just proof that the UET is itself bollocks:

NATO & Denmark: We will give you the exact same security arrangements you have had for the past 40 years in Greenland. Trump: Total surrender! Art of the deal!

I’m tired of being talked down to by people like this. They are doing the Elon Musk Mars In 2 Years bit but have tied the entire U.S. economy to a bespoke compliment generator. It’s time to start talking about these AI mutants like delusional babies.

BREAKING: A Minneapolis Speedway gas station just kicked slimeball Border Commander Greg Bovino out of their business. "We do NOT support ICE, get off of our property" This is what democracy looks like!

McGovern: Well, he said a lot of crazy shit today. I think it’s time to take the keys away from grandpa. He doesn’t seem like he’s all there.

Donald Trump says it’s okay he invited well-documented mass murderer Vladimir Putin to his bullshit “Board of Peace” because he “gets the job done.” Maybe tell that to the people of Ukraine, jackass.

#ICYMI, read Part 1 of our investigative series here:

After slashing foreign aid, Trump officials celebrated with cake. We went to some of the world’s largest refugee camps and saw firsthand the devastation caused by those cuts. Head to Reddit to ask us anything about our reporting on Thurs., Jan. 22 at 4 p.m. ET:

This judge should haul Bovino in every time one of his goons violates the order.

Welp

22% of the US population voted for Donald Trump. That's it.

Big news: A state judge just struck down New York's 11th district, which is a GOP-heavy seat in Brooklyn & Staten Island. Plaintiffs aligned with Democrats had sued to get the seat struck down for disenfranchising Black and Latino voters. If upheld, could mean a new map + extra seat for Dems.

He isn’t IN the Epstein files he IS the Epstein files!

🚨ICE violently dragged a U.S. veteran out of her car near Minneapolis ICE: Get out of the f*cking car! Vet: You know I'm a Marine Corps veteran? ICE: I don't care what you are! [ICE drags her from car & then points taser at passenger] ICE: "F*cking move I'll f*cking taze you!"

NEW: Hours after the Washington Post demanded the government return reporter Hannah Natanson’s devices, a judge has blocked the government from searching them. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Another proud day for America.

Angie Craig says she’s a “Hell no” on the DHS appropriations bill. And so is Sarah McBride. Goodlander says “I am taking a real hard look at it right now.” Magaziner says he’s a no.
