I would just like to note how Fox News framed this:

Mood for 2026, (the artist is Ainsley Drew, on Instagram)

I guess we'd better prepare for the revival of this no-good, very bad idea:

Also, yikes.

This sounds like a threat.

An immigration judge has ended asylum claims for Liam Conejo Ramos and his family and ordered their removal. Their lawyer says an appeal is underway.

MPR attributes the decision to Immigration Judge John Burns, listed on the Office of the Chief Immigration Judge's website as a recently-appointed Acting Assistant Chief Immigration Judge in New York. Per TRAC data, Burns denied relief in 96% of 1128 asylum claims he decided from 2020 to Nov. 2025.

“Gender studies aren’t important”

This is what ICE has done to journalist Estefany Rodriguez.

The last four animated feature Oscar winners have been quite diverse picks now that Disney/Pixar has lost its stranglehold on the category

41 years old, evacuated here legally, asylum case pending, kidnapped while driving his six children (one a US citizen) to school. Dead within 24 hours. Betrayed and murdered by the United States government. 42nd confirmed and reported death in ICE custody under Trump.

Just want to be clear: we want Germany to massively re-arm and the Japanese to use its navy to protect its oil supplies. Just want to be absolutely sure about this—it’s not a problem, it’s just a change from the past 80 years or so.

Instant headcanon.

Today in life under competitive authoritarianism Every day, every week, more textbook stuff:

Hey, I'm on the official Star Trek instagram account!!

Watching Politico get told they're sanewashing shit by the guy they're sanewashing is just excellent. Media cooked. Getting dunked on by the people they're protecting. We are in the post-dignity era of the press.

Tripod two-fer. In case you were wondering how they swim, not gracefully. I'd be afraid to dangle my toes just above the seafloor like that. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 531 part 2 #octoodyssey #MarineLife

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

Absolutely awful result in the "antifa terrorism" trial against the Prairieland noise demonstrators. Innocent people convicted under conspiracy statutes because they had zines at home, or wore black, or were in a Signal chat — even those who did not actually participate in the demonstration.

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

"it will help them not need social supports and social programs" This is Republican-style anti-government services bullshit language. EVERYONE needs social supports and social programs in this country BECAUSE CORPORATIONS IMPOSE MASSIVE SOCIAL COSTS THAT INDIVIDUALS CANNOT PAY FOR VIA TAX CUTS.

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Russia is an enemy of the United States. They are helping Iran target our service members in the Middle East and have been anti-freedom forever. Trump’s response? Give them money by loosening sanctions. Make it make sense. nytimes.com/2026/03/12/u...

Every time you conflate Jews with Israel, you affirm zionist propaganda and HELP THEIR CAUSE. Cut that shit out AND spread the word!

@davidho.bsky.social is absolutely right. NCAR isn't just a great institution in its own right, but vital for all of us Earth scientists at universities and institutions across the country and around the world. To learn more, watch the video below. Write to [email protected] today and #SaveNCAR !

An astounding statement from a federal judge about the executive branch, generally; the Justice Department, more particularly; and these subpoenas, specifically.

There are THIRTY MILLION Christian Zionists in the US ALONE - that’s twice as many as there are Jews in the ENTIRE WORLD. But nobody’s drawing swastikas on their churches or rampaging through them or attacking Christian Zionists on the street. But yeah ok American Jews deserve this.

"He was vaguely saying things like, 'Really, I can help you out. I can do things for you. ...If you could, you know, give me the names of protest organizers, maybe I can help you out.'" Inside an ICE effort to generate snitches.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men." Just saying it right out loud now. newrepublic.com/post/207693/...

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon. Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public. Exhibit A: The American Historical Association uploading video depos of the DOGE bros to YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkCz...

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense. People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region. A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

Excellent call to arms from Liz Oyer.

The US and Israel have bombed at least 13 hospitals and health facilities in Iran and one in Lebanon.

Russia has provided Iran with information that could help Tehran strike American warships, aircraft and other assets in the region, according to two officials familiar with U.S. intelligence on the matter. https://to.pbs.org/40L3fAa

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Airwars, a non-profit group tracking civilian harm in conflict, found that the initial days of the U.S.-Israeli campaign in Iran hit significantly more targets per day than any campaign in recent decades. The targets also map heavily onto the highest populated areas. airwars.org/record-pace-...

Call your representatives now and tell them how much you love Section 230 and hate domestic mass surveillance.
