Nice recap

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

today in "predicted by 30 Rock"

really striking the degree to which not a single person working in the trump administration appears to be interested in serving the american people

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

kidnapping

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday. Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood. I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

NEW: The private jet that flew 10 shackled migrants to an Eswatini prison last weekend is owned by Israeli-American billionaires with close ties to Trump. It’s oligarchs all the way down. My first for @zeteo.com: zeteo.com/p/this-famil...

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

There is perhaps no greater sign that Trump's health has incapacitated him than Trump repeatedly letting someone else claim to be the one in power.

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Judge Sara Ellis' opinion in IL v. Trump is an absolute banger: www.courtlistener.com/docket/71559...

the list of things that needs to be done to repair this country is extensive but high up on it is breaking the power of the tech lords they are convinced they are untouchable feudal barons whose money allows them to dictate everyone else's life and they must be disabused of that notion

Ladies and gentlemen, we did it. SB 79 has been signed.

guys can we do frogs everywhere? please i need a frog uprising you know…before we croak we need a jump in activism a ribbit revolution vive les grenouilles libres!

Pritzker to @gregsargent.bsky.social: "Trump says a lot of crazy things. I genuinely think there's something wrong with him. I wish his family would intervene... I don’t think anybody around is going to do it bc they’re benefiting from his dementia" Full interview: newrepublic.com/article/2016...

When you get hired for a job you're completely unqualified for and need your subordinates to teach you how to do it but can't just ask:

I found this interesting, which plays into the debate about where to "find" more housing.

Well done to all the brilliant local councillors who have lowered the speed limits their roads to 20mph - often in the face of much hostility. There is now irrefutable evidence to show your bold decisions are saving lives. Thank you!

i’ll never get over this

Forget everything you already know about America's most notorious dead person. Watch Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile today at 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT. Only at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjhSoGcQhWU.

Something to watch while we wait for more Epstein documents to be released.

Holy shit, this is a cinematic masterpiece.

whatever you are doing, if it isn't watching this video, you should stop doing it and watch this video.

New — I was fortunate to speak in front of students and faculty at Grinnell College in Iowa tonight about the business of independent journalism, the current state of media under Trump 2.0, and billionaire control. I published my full speech because I thought it might resonate beyond campus:

Jeffries: "Mike Johnson and this group continue to cover up for the pedophiles. That's crazy."

Utterly impossible to argue otherwise. Even if you laughably believed Trump wasn’t in the files, Johnson is protecting everyone in them!

I’ve seen the pictures of Trump with Epstein’s girls. Here’s what’s in them - @michaelwolffnyc.bsky.social

Oh hey, that's us on the DC metro! 👋 "[On transit], you don't know who's sitting next to you; all kinds of folks are coming together in this system," ProPublica reporter @maryamjameel.bsky.social said. "And I hope our journalism can be [that] accessible to folks.” Via @usa.streetsblog.org ⤵️

No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

Hey look – that "Today's opposite day" thing from third grade finally came true.

"On Wednesday, Mr. Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, rode the full route of the M57, a crosstown bus that traverses Midtown Manhattan and is one of the city’s slowest, to remind New Yorkers that he wanted to speed up their commutes."

GOV. PRITZKER: “This is a convicted felon threatening to jail me? He’s an unhinged, insecure wannabe dictator. Come and get me.”

MAGA lawmakers regularly share its content. Elon called it "one of the best accounts on X." It's run by a Macedonian who has never set foot in America — and who illegally donated to a U.S. congressional campaign. Great stuff from @jsweetli.bsky.social: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

Only a strong and powerful leader like Trump can bring this war ravaged city back from the brink of destruction and anarchy.

I didn't think "Scorched Earth Jimmy Kimmel" was in the realm of possibility. Yet here we are. I'm now a fan of someone I thought about less than once a year about two months ago.

“.. the latest example of the Trump administration’s policy priorities overlapping with the business dealings of the president and his family.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/health/pharm...

Bloomberg research found wholesale electricity up ~270% in areas near data centers It doesn't seem like nearly enough people are taking it seriously One A.I. image isn't too much energy, but 5 million videos? Per day/hour/minute whatever. It's not sustainable www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

In case you, like me, saw your electric bill more than double.

AG Bondi, here’s that correction you requested.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

This is so dark

What's it like living in Chicago today? This image gives us a strong sense of the fear that Chicagoans fear from Trump's secret police.
