“A similar raid was carried out in suburban Elgin, when agents led by U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem rode in a military vehicle and blew down the front door of a home where they detained six people, including two U.S. citizens.“

Right-wing professional victimhood remains a very lucrative occupation.

Legacy media as we’ve known it is dead and what remains is either in active rebellion against the regime or running its PR. Know the difference and choose wisely.

Mario was covering the No Kings protest when he was detained. This is an open effort to suppress and intimidate the press and a horrifying miscarriage of justice.

Intimate account of journalist @plasticjesusart.bsky.social being shot by LA Sheriff's Dept. His leg had "a lump of muscle" hanging out. Surgeons tried to remove his clothes, but encountered so much pepper spray on him that medical staff had to evacuate room. "Less lethal" munitions? Barely.

Honestly, this is fucking great. Institutions are folding under fascism, hoping that they won’t be punished if liberalism returns. We need to make it clear their calculus is wrong.

Love to start illegal foreign wars against civilians while starting illegal domestic wars against civilians.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory. They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth. But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi. RIP, Jamal. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

[Financial Times]: US private sector employers shed most jobs since 2023 Privately produced data takes on added significance as government shutdown halts key official figures. By Peter Wells www.ft.com/content/c86e... #useconomy #jobs #trumprecession

Your daily reminder that the last three times the government shut down, Donald Trump was president of the United States and Republicans controlled the House and Senate. They can't govern.

This !!

I think its instructive we look at, consider, these other antidemocratic, authoritarian moves to steal an election as we approach 2026 ; Trump's DHS, ICE, Iran's IRGC and this Basij militia --violent repression. This is one of Trump, Heritage, the radicalized right's models.

Those comedians in Saudi Arabia reminded me of Bobby Darin’s ‘Song for a Dollar.’ “Well, you sang your songs for the nations, that've been heard all around the Earth. You ain't got no moral quarrel if money is your only worth. But how many suits can you wear, boy? And how many homes can you own?”

(1/3) I think Ed makes a pretty strong point here about Lindsey Halligan: She hasn't been lawfully appointed under 28 U.S.C. § 546, and as he also points out, his view is supported by a 1986 OLC opinion written by some guy named … {checks notes} … Samuel A. Alito. (1/3)

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

Don’t drink too much, people! This is published by the pro-conservative (yes, a label way too nice) Daily Mail.

This is actual Trump policy:

When that they try to blame the rudderless Dems ... remember what game the regime is playing via @cnn.com

💙 @aoc.bsky.social “This moment is a test. Donald Trump wants us to blink first and hand him over power. We have too much to save to give in. Protecting the American people is too important a task for us to give up before anything even starts.”

One of the only legitima leaders in the entire national Democratic Party

I came to the Capitol, ready to be sworn in and get to work for the people of Southern Arizona. Instead, Speaker Johnson chose to delay, denying our community the representation we deserve.

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?  I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.  So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

We could have a real and serious policy debate on the ACA subsidies. Whether they should be capped at a fairly high income level is one good faith debate. But Republicans don’t want that. Instead they have decided, as usual, that lying is the best plan.

from 1997, Donald Trump claimed he was a "brave soldier" for avoiding STDs during his single years in the late '90s. youtu.be/h822LPnM5uw?...

That fucking history lesson--condescending-‘Washington, Jackson .. dusty streets of Baghdad’ ‘warriors’ But not you, Donald. When it was your turn to fight--you cowered --you shrunk away. Fuck you Donald Trump ‘Fight fight fight. Win win win’ are you fucking kidding me

Where is the immediate rapid response-- the real time response to this vile speech Wtf like a goddam impudent child

He’s telling us he’s creating a police state. This draft dodger. The guy who called our fallen soldiers’suckers & losers’ --who doesn’t want to see handicapped soldiers

He is a traitor. This is a traitorous speech.

Fuck you Donald Trump. Fuck you.

This is appalling. This bullshitter -- this fraudulent‘president’

He’s going on and on — rambling some 1954 movie .. what an embarrassment, shut him the fuck up

Going on about the paper -- fuck him straight to hell. Fucking liar He looks drugged

Now the Trump lounge standup --stream of consciousness -- nonsensical-- what an insult to the generals, an embarrassment for America. What the fuck is he talkin about,?

Whole point is that dudes get to wear clothes that conform to their actual gender instead of wearing dresses (and vice versa) and also that climate change is bad but thanks for playing

pete hegseth, who you will recall has been accused of domestic abuse and sexual assault, has announced a new policy by which you cannot file anonymous complaints of mistreatment. sex criminal solidarity.

Disallowing anonymous equal opportunity complaints allows people who have already been discriminated against to be targeted for retaliation by their peers and superiors. I’m sure this is Hegseth’s goal.

Hegseth's words seem especially chilling in light of his whitewashing of the Wounded Knee Massacre as a heroic "battle" only a few days ago. The message would seem to be that the Trump Administration is willing to forgive any atrocity US troops may commit as an "earnest mistake."

yeah, this is hegseth straightforwardly announcing that it is free play time for bigots in the ranks. and together with his comments on standards, he clearly wants to purge as many women, black and brown people as he can from the armed services. a white man's military.
