1/ Tear gas was created to incapacitate grown men. So when I started seeing reports of kids hurt by tear gas deployed by federal immigration agents, I wondered how often it was happening. My colleagues and I started to count:

Katie Phang and Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky visit a new exhibition space in Tribeca where the Epstein files are bound in 3,237 physical volumes. “To see the person who scheduled me, who is still not behind bars—her name is here.”

I’m really liking this new, toned down rhetoric that this administration is using. 🤪

I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant: At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre. Everything in this cult can be traced back to that. (thread)

@georgetakei.bsky.social Happy Birthday!!! Thank you for being a voice of reason in these insane times!!! I hope all your wishes come true!!! 🎈🎁🎉🎂🥳💐

In case you hadn’t heard about it, this dude recorded thousands of Chicago area live shows over many years and has donated them to the Internet Archive. They’ve been processed to sound great. It’s like a time capsule of live music.

Hell yeah.

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

Trump: "Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. They are lunatics, and you can't put nuclear weapons in the hands of a lunatic."

All of this is happening because Republicans in Congress, on the Supreme Court, and in the administration have enabled Trump through thousands of prior crimes including a coup, and because they continue to enable him now.

On Easter Sunday, 2026, the President of the United States threatens to commit (more) war crimes against another country. Everyone should be calling for his removal through impeachment proceedings or the 25th Amendment. Anyone who doesn’t is complicit in his crimes.

This is absolutely fantastic. ht: @maddenifico.bsky.social

If you need nothing from NATO, why are you whining that they aren’t helping?? #pedopresident

Robert “JK Rowling” Galbraith uses every penny that she earns from your patronage of Harry Potter and puts it towards her goal of murdering transgender people, including and especially transgender kids.

This may be the most powerful 85 seconds I've ever seen on television.

Wow.

Your 'moment of doom' for Feb. 6, 2026 ~ Dead or dying. "However, toxicity increased considerably in much of Africa, India, the US, Brazil and Russia. Chile is the only country on track to meet the UN target of reducing pesticide risk by 50% by 2030..." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Santa Claus is coming to town 🎅 The iconic Allstate CTA Holiday Train will merrily roll along all eight rail lines this season, launching from the Midway Orange Line station Friday, November 28.

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

ICE GOONS, laughing and pepper spraying Pastor after shooting him in the face with pepper balls, proceeded to gas the crowd who were trying to protect him.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words. The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

This is OUTRAGEOUS! Thank you for your service. WATCH: #Resist

Firstly, murder is wrong. Gun violence is solely a US problem which needs federal legislation to combat these everyday shootings. Secondly, the canonization of Charlie Kirk is insane. He died as he lived, spewing racism, misogyny and homophobia, under the guise of being "Christian".

Note: Now that the Pride flag is an official city government flag, many schools and cities across the US with Pride flag bans can now fly it. Many Pride flag bans have an exception for “city” or “government” flags. And those exceptions do not specify that they are your local government flag.

“Early signs of fascism”

All these people who swore that they “will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic” aren’t doing a very good job.

Rieckhoff: He's losing his women and children. His cities are being bombed, and we're talking about his clothes? It was victim shaming, which is what trump has been doing to Zelenskyy and Ukraine since before he got elected. It's unacceptable.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.
