The thing I think about whenever Palentir comes up is that I once played Werewolf sitting next to a guy that worked at Palentir and he spent the entire time trying to convince me that the company wasn’t evil while simultaneously picking off every villager in the game.

MAGA has always been a cult, but the fight with the Pope represents something much larger taking place. Christian Nationalism is settling into place as a post-Trump religious movement that supports neo-fascist brutality at the end of American Empire. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-christ...

The man who called for Christopher Krebs to be “shot”—simply for concluding that our 2020 presidential election was free and fair—is now leading efforts by the president to prosecute a wide range of political dissidents. Our 2020 election was free and fair.

First Amendment Zone

Only the New York Times, run by a fourth-generation nepo baby for an imagined audience of other elites with Roman numerals after their names, could treat such a small-bore common-sense tax proposal as the peak sign of a class war. If this is the peak of the "anti-rich current," they'll be lucky.

“Koch brother groups have tried to derail public transit plans in other cities around the country, from Little Rock, Arkansas and central Utah, to Nashville and Michigan. They have frequently called such projects ‘wasteful spending’. The Koch organization is also heavily invested in fossil fuels.”

Do you know what would send a real message? Empty tables.

“Joe Rogan criticized Trump! He’s part of the resistance now!“ — Dumbasses, a couple weeks ago.

The corruption of the Supreme Court is America’s biggest failure as a country

In Ireland they don’t care. The priest prays for the Lord to take Trump.

A federal judge in Illinois today ruled that the Trump administration improperly coerced Facebook and Apple to remove ICE-tracking apps in violation of the First Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What the fuck man, the city with a $16 billion budget couldn't figure out a way to come up with the $1 million needed to keep this piece of public infrastructure from falling into ruin. Isn't that why we have TIFs

Elon Musk basically accused Trump of being a pedophile and then got dinner with him again a few months later. Joe Rogan acted shocked and dismayed about ICE and Iran and now he’s standing behind Trump in the Oval Office. These guys only care about holding onto power through any means necessary

Another Waymo misadventure in the SoMa Grand parking garage, 1160 Mission St, San Francisco Waymo has misrouted trips through (in & out) this garage, repeatedly had robots stuck looping in it, and crashed twice in there. "It took me up & down the parking lot a few times" OP: tiktok.alicearchiving

Senate Dems say a 27-year-old died in ICE custody on Sun. Just one day prior, a 47-year-old Mexican national also died. Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has blasted “serious deficiencies in ICE detention centers,” calling them “incompatible w/human rights standards and the protection of life.”

Revolutionary Guard Corps gunboats have fired on a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz.

The courts ruled that the Trump Administration’s policy of deporting immigrants to third countries is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Punto.   With @warren.senate.gov , I am investigating the administration's order to follow-through with their deportation plans despite the court's ruling.

The fascists in the Administration may think they are untouchable, but they will be held accountable.

First big Democrat to declare war on this piece of shit court gets my hearty endorsement

Trump: "When you see soldiers walking around with no legs, that was Iran that did that"

Trump approves disaster aid for red states 89% of the time. For blue states? 23%. When your community is underwater or burning, whether you get federal help shouldn't depend on how your state voted. This is the most partisan abuse of disaster relief funding in the 47-year history of FEMA.

The hockey stick's blade is getting longer. Global temperatures over the past 2000 years. Temperatures over the past 30 years were 0.75 warmer than the 1901-2000 average. Warmer than at any time during the past 2000 years.

The right-wing media ecosystem creates attention incentives for doctors to embrace contrarian positions. Just throwing that out there.

Award-winning Kuwaiti-American journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin has been in Kuwaiti detention since March 3 for simply sharing publicly available, verified footage. Journalism is not a crime. Join us in calling to #FreeAhmed

If they settle, I think it's an impeachable offense for both him and the AG.

BREAKING: Prosecutors in Minnesota have charged an ICE agent with two counts of assault related to a road rage incident. A nationwide warrant has been issued for his arrest. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Sen. Merkley: “Would I be in the ballpark to say we’ve already spent at least $50 billion?” Russ Vought: “I wouldn’t want to make a characterization." Merkley: “As the most knowledgeable person in the executive branch on the budget, I would expect you to have pretty good numbers on that."

It's completely ridiculous we put affording things onto average folks when we have literally no control over what things cost. We're told to "shop smart" and skip this or that and to make due with less but the folks running things are completely unaccountable and cannot be blamed.

Leo: “Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.” 🔥 This pope rocks. www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

Sometimes the pitchbot hits too close to the truth 🤣

Democrat senators voting No: Blumenthal, Coons, Cortez Masto, Fetterman, Gillibrand, Rosen, & Schumer. Senator Lummis did not vote.

"DOJ seeks to throw out convictions against Oath Keepers and Proud Boys" Denying high crimes against the nation; erasure of history.

NEW polling: majorities in Arizona, California, Colorado, Michigan support the Senate vote today to block $450M in bombs & bulldozers to Israel. Majorities in each say Iran War benefits Israel more than US. Pluralities in each say Israel is committing genocide. Per @imeupolicy.bsky.social

The Trump Admin has abruptly canceled an $11M contract with Catholic Charities to shelter and care for migrant children who enter the U.S. alone, ending a relationship between the Catholic Church and the U.S. government dating back to the first arrivals of Cuban exiles in South Florida.

I love seeing the Illinois Restaurant Association and co take a FAT L 😎

The "aha" moment for me was when I was told, explicitly, that FedSoc is for ambitious people who want a federal clerkship and have no principles to get in the way of getting one

I keep saying, as a Trump biographer, that this man holds deeply deranged beliefs—on almost every subject—he cannot be talked out of by experts, to the point that it can accurately be said that he lives in his own warped reality. 25th this man immediately.

Another immigrant has died in ICE custody. 16 deaths just in 2026. It doesn't matter if it is Noem or Mullin at the helm of DHS, ICE detention is INHUMANE, INAPPROPRIATE, INADEQUATE. It is unsafe, and we must end it. Let’s pass my Melt ICE Act now!

DOGE turbocharged the deficit. budgetlab.yale.edu/research/wea...

The text of the law I mentioned, the Court Access, Safety, and Participation Act, creates "a privilege from civil arrest" for those attending Illinois state court proceedings in good faith.

Many, many brave people are fighting to stop this, and also—our collective failure to stop it from getting this far will haunt us for the rest of our lives.

"... a dangerous and corrupt gangster." — Sir Ed Davey, with a speech against Trump that will be remembered for a very long time

My god. Essential, horrifying reporting here.

A new report from the IMF warns that the U.S.-Israeli joint war on Iran has stalled economic momentum for this year, and, if the war lasts for several months, has the potential to cause a global recession. “The global outlook has abruptly darkened following the outbreak of war in the Middle East.”

The Prospect launches its new newsletter on the war in Iran — Aftermath — with a piece on the latest on the blockade (and double-blockade) of the Strait of Hormuz, the impact on the plastics industry, and China’s early bid for self-preservation.

I am so tired of these people talking—“the natural habitat for the Earth” doesn’t even make sense. Organisms have habitats….. the natural habitat for humans isn’t water.

"I had no idea that USAID did this kind of work," USAID's chief of staff told our client, former USAID Global Health chief Nicholas Enrich, as he described the agency's life-saving programs. "I just assumed it was just abortions." Which USAID never funded. More: https://ow.ly/PPyh50YITax

This report on the “Biden Administration’s Weaponization of the FACE Act” repeatedly cites conduct that occurred…during the first Trump administration.
