and today in really bad ideas

love a strong Quixote ref

inspired by reading a poem about writing a poem on the subway over someone’s shoulder while on the subway, a poem: whenever a person sees another person doing something there is a decision an accounting a witnessing and whether we wash or watch it or not the power of the other is never lost

Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! 🙃

This is probably going to demand a depressing amount of repetition, but here goes. If Renee Nicole Good was a childless foreign national, its still wasn't OK for a federal employee to straight up execute her. Begging everyone to not concede one inch of ground to this toxic framing.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.

Share widely.

This is nuts. Grand Rapids police, please explain your actions.

President Trump tipped off oil executives roughly a month before the U.S. abducted Nicolás Maduro, according to The Wall Street Journal. Speaking to reporters Sunday, Trump admitted that he had spoken to oil executives "before and after" the attack on Venezuela, while neglecting to inform Congress.

Why did the Democratic Party refuse to release its 2024 "autopsy" report?

#USA is not at war with #Venezuela unless and until it is authorized by an act of Congress. Until then, it is an unconstitutional action of 47 involving the DoD in an illegal move in Venezuela. The people of USA have not authorized a war. Far from it. Repost!

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval. If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

People's Dispatch: "The attack on January 3 is part of the US war that began in 2001 and will continue long after the engines of the Chinook helicopters cool down. The outcome of this attack on Venezuela is unclear. The government remains in control, even with the President having been kidnapped.

In case you need a positive reminder: How effective is protesting? According to historians and political scientists: very www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If ICE can threaten arrest for filming, then journalists, watchdogs, and protesters can all be silenced the same way. You don’t have freedom of the press if recording police is treated as terrorism.  #holdfast www.cato.org/blog/dhs-pol...

For accessibility: posting the chief information officer's resignation letter with alt text ⬇️

NEW: Under the Trump administration, the Office for Civil Rights has shifted its focus to removing gender-neutral bathrooms, banning transgender athletes from women’s sports and prioritizing complaints alleging discrimination against white students.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”
