These right wing shills always laugh when you bring up the nasty shit they’re doing. When you ID DJT as the racist fascist sicko he is, it’s so funny to them. They actually seem to find him cute.

This is Heritage Foundation Chief Economist EJ Antoni, Trump's new nominee for Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner.

Baltimore Mayor Scott response on Trump: I think it's very notable that each and every one of the cities called out by the President has a black mayor, and most of those cities are seeing historic lows in violent crime…

Wow, that’s exactly what I was thinking. You must be smart.

This is a BIG DEAL. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.senate.gov need to come back to D.C. and stand united to denounce this abuse of power. This cannot be business as usual.

Earlier this year, over 230 Venezuelan men were sent to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration.

Our @propublica.org team spent months looking into who they were to find the truth behind their stories. projects.propublica.org/venezuelan-i...

“D.C. Belongs to Us!”
Damn right it does.

What if all of America is not, in fact, the outcome of a single close presidential election forever?

What if—stick with me here—media and politicians overdetermined one election's results in pursuit of narrative, as they usually do, and institutions were a little to quick to buy that?

Just sayin'

how about you just be a decent fucking person and pay back into a system you exploited without begging for cookies on social in a country where the affluent extraction class already pays disastrously low taxes

Don’t let this fade away

They’re entertainers not journalists.

Florida, unlike the federal government, can be sued for civil rights violations and punished with monetary damages.

Hundreds of alleged human rights abuses in immigrant detention, report finds The office of Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff asserts it “identified 510 credible reports of human rights abuse” against immigration detainees and issued a report, first obtained by NBC News.

A monthslong investigation by the office of Sen. Jon Ossoff compiles hundreds of alleged human rights violations at immigration detention centers, according to a new report about his probe first obtained by NBC News.

On Epstein: AFTER reviewing the files, Bondi and Patel ordered agents to black out every mention of Trump. If Trump were mentioned in the files as simply an innocent bystander to Epstein's world, they'd want to release the files.

Trump was presumably not simply an innocent bystander.

One of Canada’s pillars of democracy is Elections Canada that overseas elections + decides electoral districts because they’re nonpartisan bureaucrats.

I worry not recognizing the value of Elections Canada may result in eliminating it under the guise of ‘decreasing bureaucracy’

Until we pass a nationwide ban on gerrymandering (which we need), Democrats should gerrymander every state to the fullest extent. 52-0 in CA, 17-0 in IL, and so on. No more unilateral disarmament. Time to get serious about fighting back.

Nebraska, everyone.

I know we say “Everything is bigger in Texas,” but this is, in fact, bigger than Texas. This is nothing but a power grab, and it will ultimately impact all of us.

Texas governor threatens Democrats who left state to prevent congressional map vote – US politics live Greg Abbott says he will try to remove Democrats unless they return to allow vote to take place on redrawing the US House map to favour Republicans

Do you know which state has the largest number of Black residents?

TEXAS (nearly 4 million)

Trump’s demand that TX redistrict & the Republican legislature’s acquiescence is an attack on Black representation. Stand with Texas Dems.

More attention here please.

Detainees at Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” are on a hunger strike over what they call inhumane, dangerous conditions.

Some haven’t eaten in 10 days. One of them, Pedro Hernández, was hospitalized and still refuses food until they are treated with dignity.

Video of Mayor Olivia Chow welcoming Gaza refugees to Toronto pulled from Instagram over online abuse The original Instagram post included a video in which the mayor at city hall holds a video call, greeting a Palestinian family that has fled Gaza as they arrived at Pearson International Airport.

Mayor Olivia Chow's office says she was forced to remove a video she posted to social media in which she welcomed a Palestinian family to Toronto, after they faced a barrage of online abuse www.thestar.com/news/gta/vid...

Christian Smalls (United States), reported severe physical violence by Israeli forces. Several female activists described similar abuse and deplorable detention conditions, including a lack of ventilation despite extreme heat and the absence of basic sanitary supplies for women. The activists told the tribunal that they remain on an open hunger strike in protest of their unlawful detention.

This totally makes sense. A notable public figure in the US (Amazon labor organizer Christian Smalls) is illegally arrested by Israel and subjected to severe physical violence while on a hunger strike… and not one US media outlet of any type has decided that is news.

New: After Gaza aid flotilla volunteer & US citizen Christian Smalls was taken into Israeli custody, seven uniformed individuals beat him, choking him & kicking him in the legs, according to the Freedom Flotilla Coalition.

Smalls is co-founder of the Amazon Labor Union.

For the 1st time in its 116-year history, the NAACP won’t invite a sitting U.S. president to its national convention. NAACP President Derrick Johnson called it “a waste of time to give a platform to fascism.”

Well done! Every organization should follow suit. FDT

Now and then RS

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This party needs to wake up. These guys aren't screwing around... They're assassins when it comes to the way they weaponize grievance and the way they play politics. Enough! What more goddamn evidence do we need? They have rolled back the last half century in real time!"
