Fun fact: Mellon is known to be fixated with Amelia Earhart — so if you’ve wondered why Trump has talked about her seemingly out of nowhere, that’s probably a big clue! www.wyomingnewsnow.tv/news/federal...

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Tear gassing random residential streets is just absolutely psychotic behavior.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

I went deep on Nick Fuentes and the groyperification of the GOP with @benlorber8.bsky.social. Listen!

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

More from the scene

It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.

As a reminder, when Biden announced student loan forgiveness—based upon a statute passed by Congress which explicitly said the President could do exactly that—Douthat called it "semi-Caesarist" because it was done "without consulting Congress."

I don’t know how many times I have to say this but if you didn’t know any geek girls in high school or you don’t know any now it’s because they didn’t trust you and you’re *NOT A SAFE PERSON* for women to be themselves around.

Still time to enter this! I'll choose/announce the winners this evening.

I am fast becoming a single issue voter. And that issue is prosecute every one of these motherfuckers.

Here is the proposed agreement the Trump admin sent to UCLA, which administrators fought tooth and claw to keep secret ucop.edu/communicatio...

OK. *deep sigh* If we’re really doing this … If anyone has information about this alleged $130 million “donation” — including the identity of the “donor,” if such a person or corporation exists, and any legal opinions purporting to authorize this — please send it my way. I am at crg.32 on Signal.

it’s not a perfect system, it sucks even! insurance companies are so exploitative. but it sucks less than what we had before which was fucking nothing

Hey Bernie, quick question, what the fuck is wrong with you? www.newsweek.com/bernie-sande...

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Trump on the No Kings protests: “I saw that ridiculous march the other day. I say, these people are not representative of our country. And not all of them, of course, but many of them are total lowlifes.”

Literally a clip of this man arguing in support of Trump’s invasive efforts to force National Guard members throughout D.C. is the best case for statehood that we could make.

The reason ICE agents wear masks is because this is how their neighbors would speak to them if they knew what they did for a living.

Mad about Trump's destruction of the East Wing? Blame Big Tech. Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and Google have a lot riding on their relationships with the current administration. They all cut checks for the ballroom.

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

This is insanely illegal and incredibly fucking dangerous.

approximately seven million people were out in the streets protesting last week. these people need to grow a spine. www.ft.com/content/1377...

🧵Here's a thing I've been thinking about that I think matters a lot: DJT & his fellow travelers are trying hard to impose fascism on us, but they forgot the one weird trick every successful fascist used: They forgot to do SOMETHING that makes life better, or at least look better, for the volk.

This is not a Kavanaugh stop. This is a Roberts murder.

@maddow.msnbc.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social Pls. keep eye on this story. My husband's job in essence is to help keep our nuclear reactors from being penetrated. He'll likely be furloughed at the end of next week. We will have zero income. Not sure about health benefits. TY

You can get that PROTECT TRANS YOUTH t-shirt, designed by @tombofnull.bsky.social, from @greenpeapress.bsky.social! Proceeds benefit Huntsville's Free LGBTQ+ Closet! www.greenpeapress.com/shop/p/prote...

New: a $60 mod to Meta's Ray-Ban glasses disables the privacy LED light. This is supposed to light when people are filming with the glasses. We bought the mod, verified it works. Now you can never be sure whether someone wearing Meta Ray-Bans is filming you or not www.404media.co/how-to-disab...

SNAP benefits are about to lapse for 42 million people, because nothing says “save the children” like starving them.

If you want to find a local food bank, you can use the website below. If you’re donating, it’s best to donate money. If you want to donate food, PLEASE donate food you or your family would actually eat, including things like breakfast cereals and snack foods. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

will there be any followup to this fascinating story by the president of the united states that a friend of his sent him a check for $130 million dollars and the president is going to give the money to the military because i for one am fascinated about the details tbh

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Everyone knew this would happen, particularly the biggest creeps in creepdom, the only audience for this creep item. Enjoy your golden age while it lasts creeps!

they want to launch the first of 4k solar reflectors allegedly 4x brighter than the full moon to see if it works so they can 'deliver light on demand after sunset and before sunrise to paying customers'; just thinking thru the engineering of only sending the light to 'paying customers' in a 5km area

Here are the principals on the job

Fucking bleak, man.

This tea

Many people are saying the Republicans shut down the government to bulldoze the White House without permission and build the Epstein ballroom.

I'm going to compile a list of names and addresses and I will share that list on here once I am done. Fuck this anti-democratic shit.

"UT is being dismantled piece by piece. Those who see higher education as a threat are intervening directly — breaking norms, rules and even constitutional protections — in an effort to suppress and punish controversial opinions among our students and faculty." www.statesman.com/opinion/colu...

Jeffries: We have an American president behaving like an organized crime boss, stealing taxpayer dollars in real-time in front of everyone in plain sight. And Republicans have nothing to say about the emerging crime scene at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue.

Also, THIS IS HOW ELON MUSK DESTROYED POLITICS. People look to the social media in-group to figure out how to behave. Musk bought Twitter and made the in-group a bunch of literal neo-Nazis with violent racist and anti-Semitic viewpoints. US politics turned on a dime.

For more than half a century, fluoride’s benefits on community health have been documented, but now, following the rise of the Make American Healthy Again movement, conservative lawmakers are getting rid of it. buff.ly/5D4UQGo
