I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

As Republican Senators pitch the idea of having Trump issue executive orders to dial down ICE in exchange for funding DHS, let's all be very clear: AN EXECUTIVE ORDER IS NOT THE LAW. (1/x)

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

"He was protesting," "She moved her car." Any excuse to follow their Fuhrer's orders.

Can we please stop treating CEO's as the beacons of society? He went to the god damn Melania screening that night. He has no leg to stand on here.

Uh. So ICE just technically tried to invade Ecuador. Cool new international incident dropping.

This shit reminds me of the photos out of Abu Ghraib.

The Atlantic finally catching up with what some of us have been saying for *years*

It doesn't matter what the Constitution says. If the government can execute you on the street or in your own home on a whim, you have no rights. None.

We did predict it. And we were called alarmist.

DHS can and will never be run by a Sicko fan.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

A lot of Dr. Frankenstein’s regretting their monster all the sudden.

Best thing I've read in the Atlantic in years

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Dawg

lmao, neighborhood Signal chat full of people who would otherwise be considered “wine moms” has turned against the New York Times for their coverage of what’s happening

Holy shit. Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

He’s timing it for the weekend for maximum chaos.

It really do recommend making your shitty day the problem of your shitty senator's voicemail every night, it doesn't have to be a chore. It is a actually cathartic

this is the best reframe i’ve ever seen about calling your politicians

If you're bargaining from a place of "don't punch me in the face too bad, sir," you're gonna get punched in the face, and they're probably gonna do it harder and harder. If your bargaining position is, "I will expose your pedophile friends and you will face tribunals," the conversation changes.

Trump: "They emptied out, if you think about it, they emptied out all of their mental institutions into our country." (Trump doesn't understand the difference between insane asylums and political asylum claims.)

My takeaway is that we have not been mean enough to the New York Times this year www.nytimes.com/2025/12/27/a...

Oh my god.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

The Epstein Files, everybody!

Can someone just fucking leak it? newrepublic.com/article/2045...

Paying service members $1776 each and giving everyone access to cheap Ozempic is literally NO FATS, NO FEMMES as a policy position.

As @andymatic.bsky.social says “I know you like to cry, read this”

yep, crying. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/15/o...

I think about this @metafilter.bsky.social comment a lot:

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote: https://propub.li/3MTlm33

I haven’t been able to form a sentence in like 10 minutes

like watching a concert pianist play the flight of the bumblebee. Nobody says they're not gonna do shit quite like chuck schumer. watch the master at work:

AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

Ever since someone on here brought up the fact that the media literally just interviews rich people to get their thoughts on random shit, even though there’s absolutely no need to do that, it’s all that I can see everywhere

AI sitcom accidentally a Lynchian fever dream. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and insane lament.
