Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

This should shock every single American. ICE's increasingly violent tactics are out of control.

I quite like this kind of moxie.

Trump's America Is Now Europe's Strategic Enemy open.substack.com/pub/vladvexl...

We went sponsor by sponsor through Sean Duffy's corporate funded vacation, which also gives companies "VIP access" to the Transportation Secretary, and listed everything these companies want from the government and were willing to pay up to $1 million to secure.

This is such an important story. open.substack.com/pub/ahmedeld...

Live you life in such a way that a random member of society doesn't believe it would be to the benefit of the human race to put you in prison. #Musk #twittertrial

1 in 200 humans on earth are missing from their own lives due to ME. ME is a devastating physical illness that makes rubble of the lives of patients and families. We’ve known it’s real for decades. But society still acts like it’s not real. This is a historic injustice. #MEAwarenessDay

We Americans are learning first-hand how quickly rights can be taken away. What will we do about it? #trump #jimcrow #RoevWade

More of this, please.

The voice of a deeply corrupt man running a deeply corrupt Court.

Dersh is such a foul little creature.

White Christian supremacist court. White Christian supremacist President. White Christian supremacist Congress. And the result is the most profound series of setbacks for the rights of people of color and women in over a century. It is a nauseating time to be alive in America. Fight back harder.

What Trump broke with the Iran war can't be fixed. He got the US into a bad strategic position he can't get out of. Many are deeply invested in not acknowledging that. Because it means they've been wrong. Who knows how long it'll take for reality to fully hit. But when it does, it'll be a doozy.

Dying in office because you insisted on clinging to power until the very end instead of letting a new generation of leaders rise should be seen for the shameful, egomaniacal act that it is.

It’s a mark of how completely normalised the corruption & depravity have become that we barely bat an eyelid at the thought of two *property developers*, one Trump’s nepo baby son-in-law, being sent to represent the USA in peace negotiations with Iran. Sometimes it all hits you afresh.

It is likely that Trump's Iran catastrophe will lead to some kind of compensation for all the countries the US has screwed (which is all of them). We would do well now to lay groundwork for seizing assets of the Palantirs and Musk fortune that enabled Trump's rise and invasion.

...still have their nuclear program and have Trump promising to return them $20 billion in frozen assets. The markets also have concluded that this is the end, Trump has thrown in the towel. A massive strategic failure by the USA.

This is an incredibly important discussion. chrishedges.substack.com/p/americas-s...

REMINDER - We had a non-nuclear deal with #Iran negotiated for TWO YEARS by the Obama administration. Then the toddler man-child running the USA tore it up because why? His fucking EGO. 🤬🤬🤬

The US is now at war against the Vatican. What a fucking world. @jvl.bsky.social This one is for you to see, if you haven't already.

There is something you can do about all of this — make your plans for May 1. This country needs a united show of power, energy, and hope. indivisible.org/events/may-d...

May 1st is a national strike day. An economic shutdown to show our power. Get involved. The link in the comments will lead you to your local events. #pinks #sheshed

A good majority work more than one job, have family and other obligations. We have no real healthcare, no real education. Give us a fucking break.

After SCOTUS heard oral arguments in a case that could decide the results of the midterms, one message is clear: Republicans intend to make it harder for their opponents to vote and easier to control election outcomes. Legacy media isn’t taking it seriously, but Marc Elias asks, will you?

NEW: Across the country, sheriffs have become far-right avatars — and the recent seizure by local law enforcement of 600k ballots cast in California’s redistricting referendum speaks to that. And they are the mouthpiece to push the idea that election data is fraudulent, Jessica Pishko writes.

I'm expecting a wheelbarrow-full of pardons for insider trading on January 19, 2029. Note that the prospect of those pardons helps to keep subordinates in line. Corrupt-cop style, make sure that lots of people get a little taste, then make clear that the pardon depends on continued loyalty.

fuuuuck

Our @wbaidlaw.bsky.social FBI clients filed protected disclosures to DOJ OIG abt unlawful firings. Instead of investigating, OIG declined bc of "limited resources" & wants to send to FBI, i.e., investigate itself. The oversight system is broken. My statement: whistlebloweraid.org/doj-inspecto...

In Costa Rica, you must pass a course in Civility to graduate High School; imagine that. Also, if you're not tuned in to the X-Files with Christiane Amanpour and Jamie Rubin, you're missing out on some very wise voices. youtu.be/OpI2zeO0aSQ?...

Remember this next time you need a rideshare.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

If both #Israel and #Iran work under a "blood libel" structure, where does any of this end?

🚨BREAKING: As the FBI probes the 2020 election in Maricopa County, senior Arizona officials are warning that the bureau may try to use the investigation as a way to short-circuit an ongoing lawsuit and obtain the state’s full unredacted voter rolls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

The US has apparently moved a nuclear command plane to the Middle East. The U.S. military has moved an E6B Mercury nuclear command plane to the #MiddleEast. #KyleGauck, running for Congress in CT's 2nd District, is sounding the alarm and demanding accountability over the #Nuclear escalation.

It's *supposed* to be quite difficult. But apparently the US stopped paying attention to the Constitution a while back.

"Many Americans seem to have forgotten just how catastrophic US regime change wars have been in the past. So, with the risk of history repeating itself once again, here is Zeteo’s list of seven of the US’s most disastrous attempts at regime change, ranked"

Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei • More hardline than father • He’s the IRGC candidate • Relatively young: 56 • Avoids public • Trusted by father, clerics • Was in military during Iraq-Iran war • His wife, Zahra, killed in Israeli airstrike w his father

It's stunning how ignorant the DOGE bros were who were sent into agencies. Justin Fox cannot even articulate in his own words what his "present understanding of DEI" is: he can't even formulate a coherent sentence about it. I wouldn't hire him for basic tech support. #NEH youtu.be/jomaMvItnew?...

This, right here.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
