ICE writing long screeds whining about someone from Cato calling out their bullshit shows how they know they're losing the narrative here. No one likes ICE. No one trusts ICE. And they're flipping out about how weak they look.

Fact check ✅ Confirmed

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

If Trump is allowed to murder civilians at sea, he is allowed to murder civilians in your streets. Charges need to be drawn up for his actions in the Caribbean and presented to a US court, military court, and international court. Everyone involved must also face charges.

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Three cheers for the Constitution's right to a jury: a federal jury in Los Angeles "took just over an hour to acquit [Brayan] Ramos-Brito of a misdemeanor assault count" in an ICE-scuffle case hinging heavily on the testimony of border sector chief Gregory Bovino, now doing raids in Chicago.

Superior, Wisconsin is the latest city to build its own affordable open access fiber broadband network, thanks heavily to broadband grants included in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)

The party that controls both the House and the Senate, not to mention the executive branch, would like to remind you that the government being shut down right now is entirely the fault of the party that has no actual power right now.

Let's be clear a what's happening here: the "censorship" and "bias" narrative is being extended to Wikipedia bc the far right knows that getting bullshit into LLMs is how to shape reality as "answer engines" replace search engines. Wikipedia is core to that fight so the grievance blitz is here.

Republican Fascist Speaker of the House refuses to swear in newest elected House Representative, who would be the needed vote to release the Epstein files. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5529055-republicans-grijalva-swearing-in-house/

Trump's FCC yesterday voted to kill a program that provided free Wi-Fi to rural school kids at no cost to taxpayers, falsely claiming the program was "illegal" and was being used to "censor Conservative ideology."

This is a VERY well crafted lawsuit. 1) Plaintiff is natural born. 2) He was detained 2X in a fast-growing part of Alabama, not in a city that Brett Kavanaugh could be easily duped into believing was all migrants. 3) Unwarranted detentions were on private property. 4) He showed Real ID both times.

This is how the New York Times pretends to do journalism -- treating the Trump/Hegseth fascist military event as just routine partisan politics. The Times will go down in history as a quisling operation, and its bosses will be remembered for their cowardice.

This is not just about their hatred of DEI. Trump and Hegseth have explicitly told top military they should resign if they do not agree with all Trump and Hegseth say, which has included broadening the use of troops in U.S. cities. Go back and read the live blog in full. You need to know their […]

Thanks to @emilylhauser.bsky.social for making my suggestions (below) about how to make noise if you have GOP MoCs stronger. And if you're not already, follow her for non-stop news/suggestions on how to stand up.

@ai6yr Or they just come back later for another inch... And then another... And another... It's why the Democratic impulse to *always* concede something in the name of compromise and comity cost us democracy. Sometimes the answer is just "No, and you're wrong for having asked."

"The irregular has now become the regular." At some point, ideally some point soon: State bars need to start disbarring people. And federal courts need to start stripping DOJ lawyers/AUSAs of their admission the district bar (which, for the feds, I think is a much bigger blow).

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

We've been in a slow-motion government shutdown for months, as the Trump administration withheld appropriated funds and engaged in mass firings. Now we're going to finally admit it. From me and @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social: prospect.org/politics/202...

I was lucky enough to attend a Planned Parenthood event last night and folks, it is *critically* important we keep the organization afloat. Federal money *never* went towards abortions, it helped fund cancer screenings, STI detection, reproductive health, and so much more. PP is a vital resource.

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

My theory is, they thought they could ride the Kirk stuff all the way home, they started all this final game fascist stuff rolling, and. They're too excited to stop it, even realizing the political capital went poof with Kimmel. Their blood got pumping and by God they're gonna try it

“Moderation is censorship” was 2018-2023 “Media literacy is censorship” was 2024 “Transparency is censorship” is 2025+ “Curation is censorship” is 2026 Frame Game (Mike Benz) and the other far-right propagandists are already laying the groundwork. That’s why they’re going after the DSA now too. 🧵
