This is why they’re lying about liberals and leftists being violent. So they can use it as an excuse to threaten people for criticizing government officials. Fascism is here.

hi, cis folks in california! this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out. he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841 want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

if “speaker of the house refuses to swear in member of the opposition party” isn’t a constitutional crisis, i don’t know what is. we don’t have a functioning government if duly elected representatives are not allowed to take their seats.

the way he fuckin talks it sounds like he’s going to murder them

This post is insane.

There's 300 million cars in the US. 1/2 million is less than 2/10 of a percent of that. Maybe talk about getting rid of a few of those.

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court

Members of the GOP openly calling for a "cleansing."

The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

Finland starts teaching children how to spot unreliable narrators and propaganda in kindergarden

Capturing a conversation I've had with a number of people recently: the relentless attacks on DEI have forced people doing the work to carry on their efforts under other names, hearkening back to previous eras when so many movements have been forced to work silently. www.anildash.com/2025/10/07/d...

I'm so tired of the need to center MAGA feelings everywhere. The Fuck Your Feelings Crowd needs theirs catered to constantly. Why don't some of these fucking stories center on my fears for my student debt, health (cancer survivor!), Hispanic sister and newborn niece growing up in this shit hole?

Let me be clear: backpay for these workers is required under a federal law I wrote with former Senator Cardin — which Trump signed — during the last Trump shutdown. This is just more fear mongering from a president who wants a blank check for lawlessness. It won't work.

Miles was chief of staff at DHS in Trump’s first term 👇🏽

I don't know what Democrats think of this either, but I do know what Democrats SHOULD think about something suggested by a conniving viper who has fucked them over on every single occasion she's had the opportunity

You’d think there would be video of this if it were actually happening. (CNN has got to stop giving this guy a platform.)

I mean, this is as coherent as the philosophy of any MAGA voter.

it takes a windmill 27.7 hours to generate one transgender athlete

The Justice Department is now investigating grand jurors’ political views?

The conservatives on the court, especially Alito, just lie. They lie about the facts. They law about the law. Sotomayor calls it out in her dissents but the media doesn’t report it.

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Grassley claims the DOJ investigation of Trump's scheme to void the outcome of the 2020 election, and of the attempt by a violent mob to kill the Vice President, was a heinous crime.

"Bob Loblaw appearing for the government" "Sir, are you actor Scott Baio?" "Yes, but I practice under the name Bob Loblaw" "That was a role you played, yes? Have you ever passed the bar?" "I've passed many bars" "What states?" "No, bars are individual buildings in states, your honor"

I was linked to this nutrition calculator page and … this is so fucking humiliating.

The Senator who enabled the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh is selling snake oil again. #MEPoltiics Will some Democrats be stupid enough to buy?

Whenever I say people should leave the military, I'm told that we need the good people to stay because they're a firewall against unjust orders. Okay. When does that happen? Assassinating Venezuelan fisherman? National Guard in cities? Insurrection Act? Excited to see this firewall in action soon.

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.

I love them both but Travis and Patrick look like they’re running a traveling medicine show in the Great Depression

The River Cats gave us free Kings tickets for Wednesday!

Imagine being so dumb/gullible that ICE knows it can lie to you about things it knows are on camera.

We need to get back to shame in our country.

The headline every day should be that across the nation, across every district of voters, across all wings of the party, there aren’t even a *dozen* elected Republicans who oppose any of this.

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

Once again, Black folks are being expected to save the rest of us.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

Jane Goodall offers sage advice for the rest of us. #3E

These people are so damaged.

you! are! a! lawyer! I fear that the legal community will act like Trump admin's lawyers are normal lawyers--like they'll get nice firm jobs and their law schools will invite them to talk to students, etc--but the lawyers facilitating Trump's lawlessness should be professionally and socially shamed

DOJ: I would just reiterate request for stay pending appeal and admin stay and note request in order. Judge: I am denying both requests for stays. [HEARING ENDS]

Judge Immergut was an attorney on Ken Starr's special counsel staff that investigated Bill & Hillary Clinton, was an Assistant US Attorney under George W Bush, and was appointed to the federal bench by Trump. She has every conservative legal bona fide and she sees clearly that Trump is lawless.

Judge: Based on the conduct of the defendants and sending troops from TX, I see that as direct contravention of my order. So I will grant request to broadem relief on this TRO. She is disturbed by Trump's action, saying it violates the 10th Amendment.

This judge has twice reminded this lawyer TWICE that he is an officer of the court. That’s a strong warning and if a judge said that to me, I’d want to disappear.

"Mr. Hamilton, you are an officer of the court, isn't this just a circumvention of my order? Nothing has changed on the ground in Portland." Hamilton arguing that the TRO did not say Trump couldn't send CA NG into Oregon. Says necessarty to keep personnell and property safe.
