We are living during a time of the unmasking of truly horrible people. Shout out to @status.news and @nataliekorach.bsky.social for working your sources to get this story out this fast. I really don't know what else to say. The Post is officially dead.

I wouldn't have the stomach to sit in the same room as this. Thankfully @maxkozlov.bsky.social does.

Good morning to the very good people of Missouri's first district. This was the last public statement Rep. #WesleyBell made about ICE. Anywhere. I combed through his social accounts as well as his official congressional website. He hasn't issued a presser *about anything* since January 9th.

I double fucking dog dare these motherfuckers to do this shit in a Trump +25 county in MO, IN, IA, ND/SD, KS, TN, or AR. They fuckin' won't because they're not even that stupid.

I just used Claude to help me define the costs of a viable creator-led video streaming platform. I've worked in adjacent spaces; it's not intuitive to figure the pricing piece. Meaning, even with my resources, it would have taken weeks' worth of meetings and online research to figure that out.

Going to keep saying these until my face fucking falls off: Hollywood until 2017, the Catholic Church STILL TODAY, the recording industry, the British royal family, prison systems, conservative evangelical movements. Occasionally, we unmask the worst of them of which Epstein was one.

This is as brilliant an analysis as I've seen online about how "very online" famous people descend into MAGA. You could remove Minaj and add any "too online" MAGA figure on the right (esp. Musk) who used to be a Trump critic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzJP...

All of the people you want to hang out with in 2026 are in this thread, apparently. You are all my people. Thank you all for reminding me that I'm not actually nuts or losing it.

Staggering to see talking heads employed at legacy media companies address their waning U.S. audience like theirs is the only opinion we hear. Creators aren't "new" media anymore. If you still can't see that and make millions working for CNN? You've had 25 years to figure this out.

Find Out Media is launching this petition to call on the Trump Administration to drop all charges against Don Lemon and Georgia Fort. Will you join us in standing up for Don and Georgia? Freedonandgeorgia.com

This season of HBO's Industry is getting weird.

Man. Catherine O'Hara. Fuck.

I’m hopping on Don Lemon’s live stream in a few moments—hosted by my friend Katie Phang and others—to discuss Trump’s DOJ arresting Don this morning. Watch it below ⬇️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9EZ...

I'd like to take a moment to recognize that @amyklobuchar.com is running for Governor of MN and I haven't yet had the time or the energy to say these words: Thank fuck Amy Klobuchar is running for governor of Minnesota.

I'm not a lawyer, but I believe the fancy term for a post like this in a criminal trial is "evidence."

How many people over here believe that AIPAC will dump another nearly $20M into the upcoming primary in Missouri's First CD this cycle? I'm not convinced they will. Bell could still win without it, but I'm curious what you all think or have read.

Dr. Snyder published his interview w. Laurence O'Donnell. snyder.substack.com/p/ice-logic-...

For the seven of you who on here who know me from my Heartland POD days, I dedicate this one to Sean.

This season of the Real Housewives of the Reich is getting weird.

RE: Minnesota. A lot of you need to google Paul Wellstone to understand the rich history of progressivism in that state. Many of my friends on the coasts STILL think MN is "red". FFS. History, y'all. It's a thing.

You know what comes after cracks like this in the ship's hull? Leaks. A lot of leaks. (FWIW, Noam is a piece of shit but she's also telling the truth. Of course this is what he fucking told her to do.)

🚨 CBP agents have just shot another person in Arizona. If you work in the government, are involved in organizing spaces, or simply live in Arizona, please text me on Signal premthakker.35 Your anonymity will be protected

Happy to report my initial pass with a federated platform is going really well. Thank you to the people who put a lot of free time and passion into making it possible. As a 55 yo woman, I've seen a lot of media come and go. I know a new train when I see it and this one is leaving the station.

I'm dedicating my Threads account to shit posting Josh Hawley all week. Same handle over there. He's made a pivot X recently. He never mentions Trump (if he does it's benign). Instead, his social is devoted to his being anti abortion. No mention of America first. Just protecting the unborn.

As sad as I am that Tim Walz is not our current VP, he's managing a thankless crisis brilliantly (again). His unflappable, steady calm makes him the right guy for the right role at the right time. That he can do this after MAGA harassed his family and torched his career? One word: Character.

Extortion is illegal under Federal Law, Pam.

I'm going to try another one of these: David Ellison is the Veruca Salt of David Ellisons.

Those of you who are heaping piles sh*t on MN state leadership and dems in general for not being "bolder" and "louder" re: ICE need to read this. IN fact, everyone should read this. Killer work from @wired.com again. The tech press is crushing it. www.wired.com/story/why-mi...

Why is the border czar going to a state nowhere near an international border. Does he mean Canada?

And this is what people are doing in sub-zero temps.

@repwesleybellmo.bsky.social Where is your statement on what happened in Minneapolis today? Cause it's not on here, it's not in Instagram and it's not on Threads. If it's on X, no one on the left who matters will see it. Silence is not an option today.

One of my favorite music YouTubers was hacked. He's spent years building his channel. It's been down for 2 days. YouTube has a unique spot in the social ecosystem. Nearly impossible to replicate in terms of scale and infrastructure. Google was supposed to be broken up. Let's remember that in 2026.

Haven't done this for a while. Let's see how it goes. Brett Ratner is the Russel Brand of Brett Ratners.

I 1M% agree with this, but: The Trump administration was equally manipulative with the truth and facts during his first term. This isn't new. This is who he's always been. This is both horrifying and precedented. Don't let the shock and awe blind you to what happened to him after the 2018 midterms.

I've been playing around on the The Forkiverse for all of 3 days now and here's what I have to say: Every single journalist that still uses X should band together, and form a working group with a non-profit board to fund and moderate a Mastodon instance. X would die in five minutes.

Huh. Wonder how many of those billionaires are having some serious buyer's remorse right about now. If only they were all hanging out together right now at some annual summit? Too bad that can't happen so they all can't scream about this in real life. Oh well.

I would specifically like @kevinroose.com and @caseynewton.bsky.social to know that I have taken the small leap into the fediverse and have joined the Forkiverse. I'll keep my rage posting here. My plan over there? To bring back pre-Facebook web vibes. Here for it. And thank you.

Yo. We STILL don't know what really happened to him when he was nearly assassinated. Can you imagine any Democratic president getting away with that? None in my lifetime would.

Nadella is an extraordinarily accomplished CEO, helping Microsoft evolve from irrelevance into one of the planet's most powerful and important cloud service provider. However you feel about AI, he's one to listen to.

I wrote this (link in thread) in 2019. Most people weren't taught (me included) that segregation included blood. Were you Black, you would be denied blood drawn from a white person in pre-Civil Rights, segregated America. King nearly died from a stabbing due to this racist horrific bullshit.

As an ardent supporter of Sanders and the left wing of the Democratic base, I just want to say this forcefully and vociferously: Fuck this logic. It belongs in 2016. If your only contribution to this crisis is to bitch about !!!THE DEMS!!! on social media, I can't take you seriously.

Today would be a good day for people who live in NY or CA to teach yourselves that swing states and red states are not the same thing. We'll never recover as a nation until you all do more homework and understand the critical differences between swing and MAGA states. K? Thx.

I don't thirst for black magic a lot in my life (really, ever) but I would cast a thousand spells and maybe even give away my soul to witness David Sacks' real-time reaction to this epic failure. www.reuters.com/world/china/...

It seems that a lot of you need to be reminded that the power of Hollywood's motion picture and television studios (no, they're not necessarily the same thing) has been fading for decades. The industry's power was always more mirage than substantial. Would do you all some service to remember that.

One of my 2026 rules I made re: my community habits for Bluesky: If you can't engage thoughtfully and respectfully in your own comment threads within your own posts then I'm unfollowing you. I'm here to learn and have productive discussions. If you don't have those skills, I'll move on.

I almost want (I don't, but hear me out) the Ellison's to be successful in their really stupid bid to buy WBD so we can point back to these assholes and say, "Darling, YOU are the media."

This is the way.

A picture tells a thousand words. Here's a picture that clearly why Donald Trump is so obsessed with overturning law and order in Minnesota.

From @markjacob.bsky.social's Stop the Presses today. The media has had 10 years--A DECADE--to learn how to frame Trump's baldfaced lies to the public. And they still suck at it. But they don't have to. www.stopthepresses.news/p/how-to-bui...
