“It’s weird to think of Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert as the canaries in the coal mine,” the comedian @wkamaubell.bsky.social tells @jemelehill.bsky.social. “But if they’re telling us, ‘We’re not afraid of rich white men,’ what can the rest of us do?”⁠

Republicans in Congress are hiding their "Big Beautiful Bill" from you.

Why? Because they know it's a bad look to cut kids' school lunches just to fund tax handouts so Mark Zuckerberg can buy another island.

Many of the LA Sheriffs didn't have their gas masks on yet so the Sheriffs got gassed by LAPD

LAPD was on the radio crying about getting shot by rubber bullets by the sheriffs, so I'd say fair trade

Typical level of professional policing for Los Angeles. Waiting for CHP to join the fun.

‘Look, This Show’s Good. It’s Essentially Moral.’ “The Simpsons” has always been a wholesome show—even if some critics didn’t necessarily understand that.

The moral panic about “The Simpsons” in the ’90s was not unusual, writes Alan Siegel. It was part of a long tradition of culture wars waged under the pretense of politics:

The Imperial Boomerang Lands in Los Angeles As police and the National Guard escalate against anti-ICE protesters, the Department of Homeland Security bridges US violence abroad and US violence at home.

“Americans in LA and beyond are correctly seeing the cynical rhetoric of counterterrorism – used by Trump because it worked for Bush and his successors – as bullshit meant to justify fascism.”

⁦For Zeteo, ⁦‪Spencer Ackerman‬⁩ is brilliant and correct about the “imperial boomerang’ landing in LA:

LAPD unlawfully issuing orders to press today ("MEDIA GO!"). California Penal Code 409.7 explicitly exempts journalists from dispersal orders. LAPD knows this and command staff has been trained on it.

This principle protects against authoritarian misuse of military power and preserves civilian control. Deploying troops without state approval, especially to suppress protest, is a clear violation of both legal precedent and democratic norms.

The U.S. Constitution and longstanding federal law strictly limit the use of the military to police civilians. Under the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, active-duty military forces are prohibited from engaging in domestic law enforcement unless explicitly authorized by Congress or the Constitution.

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

He's got a FEVER. and the only prescription is more RB

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

Kidnapping people off the street, flying them to a foreign country and paying to have them locked up in a brutal prison is not just outrageous. It's criminal. Criminal on many levels. Criminal in ways from which it cannot possibly be argued the president has immunity for his behavior.

@governor.ca.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social I have a family member who is currently trying to apply for a pardon for a crime committed when he was 16 years old in 1999. If he doesn’t receive a pardon there’s a chance he may be detained in the coming months. Is there anything you can do to help?

I have no respect for ANY athlete that visits this White House.

You are unAmerican if you do so, as is anyone who supports or enables this administration.

Let me repeat that.

You actions are in *direct* opposition to the Declaration of Independence.

NEW: According to the @nytimes.com, the Trump administration is planning to argue that its invocation of the Alien Enemies Act allows it to enter the homes of any person who they believe are subject to the declaration WITHOUT A WARRANT. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism.

From Around the Horn:

the story is short and simple. Bauer is exiled from the MLB over being a multiple offending rapist. That's it

True. ☑️

Trudeau: "We're probably gonna keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans: we're not booing you ... we're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us. And we're insulted ... we're gonna fight. And we're gonna win."

Repost if you agree!

INSPECTORS GENERAL INVESTIGATIONS INTO MUSK BEFORE TRUMP FIRED THEM Dept. of Agriculture: Probed alleged animal abuse at Neuralink. Dept. of Defense: Reviewed repeated failures by Musk and SpaceX to properly disclose contact with foreign leaders. Dept. of Transportation/NTSB: Had several probes into Tesla over remote and self-driving vehicles. EPA: Investigators settled multiple lawsuits with Tesla over Clean Air Act and hazardous waste violations. Dept. of Labor/NLRB: Had 17 open investigations against Tesla & SpaceX for a multitude of violations. Dept. of the Interior/Fish and Wildlife Service: Investigated SpaceX for potential impacts on endangered species in Texas. > SOURCE: Reuters, NYT, AP, ΕΡΑ

If this doesn't make it more obvious, that he had to get into the WH, to help dz win. So, he could change the outcome of these investigations. He's a crook! We gotta fight, and hold these criminals accountable.

he's biased as being a resident of that part of the East County

Trump has canceled Biden's ethics rules. Critics call it the opposite of 'drain the swamp' Donald Trump took office eight years ago pledging to “drain the swamp” of the dominance of Washington influence peddlers.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

"No Democrat should be voting to advance Trump's nominees while all of this stuff is going on," AOC said. “There has to be a political price to pay and we have a responsibility as a party to block everything that is happening while they're setting a literal mash to the federal government."

Sounds like a concentration camp to me but what do I know

Guys, this is called a concentration camp.

IMO nobody is coming out of this one clean. It's only going to get uglier.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
