"House GOP is 'Just Fed Up' With The Thing They Caused."

Governance by incompetent liars.

@katmabu.bsky.social has put herself on the line to protect our communities from ICE and now she’s being prosecuted for daring to dissent.

We’re proud to stand with Kat and the rest of the “Broadview Six” against these trumped-up charges. And we’re proud to support Kat for Congress.

Notable that the people carrying Trumpism don't act like they believe they're carrying out the will of the public, they act like dictators terrified of a spontaneous uprising so swift and massive it overwhelms their protective services before assistance can arrive.

I’m going to win, in the courtroom and on Election Day.

But I need your help to do it: katforillinois.com/legal

These contiguous posts in my timeline show how companies, both big and small, can either devote themselves to the trivial and evil or the substantive and good.

US Department of Homeland Security says it won't stop using videogame memes to stoke anti-immigrant sentiment: 'We aren't slowing down' So far the agency has used Pokémon and Halo to promote immigrant crackdowns on social media, and there's likely more to come.

The US Department of Homeland Security says it will continue to promote itself with videogame-related materials, and doesn't seem concerned about whether it has legal permission to do so.

First day as a vampire hunter: This is easy lol

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.

so... what limits are on the app? can it say that you or I are here illegally? how about a congressional rep? how about a senator? how about whoever the Dem (or other opposition) candidate is in 2028?

Reported: CBP denies travelers entry because of anti-Trump comments | Immigration Policy Tracking Project CBP has reportedly denied travelers entry to the U.S. based on anti-Trump comments made either publicly and available online or in messages found after CBP searched electronic devices.The Guardian rep...

Was a time when this would sound paranoid, but no more. With the Trump administration checking phones at the border for anti-Trump content, how safe is it to have Trump supplicant Jeff Bezos' Alexa in your home with its ability to listen to your conversations?

America is what we in the biz call “an awful country”

I'll be on MSNBC's @chrislhayes.bsky.social momentarily!

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

dude I'm getting ads to have a witch blast off my dick

Preparing for the mass food shortages their policies are barreling the US towards.

D66 party leader Rob Jetten looking confident

It looks as if centrists have ousted the far-right Prime Minister in The Netherlands in today's election, and Rob Jetten is the frontrunner to become the new prime minister. He would be the first openly gay Dutch Prime Minister.

I should’ve learned this by now but DO NOT use FedEx. The diseased monkeys I ordered haven’t arrived and I can’t get a straight answer on what happened to them

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

At the end of the day, we are all Americans. Sure, we have differences on policy. One side wants to give everyone healthcare and good wages. The other wants to create a white Christian ethnostate where the president can legally assassinate anyone at will. But we are not enemies.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

The New York mayoral race will continue until morale has improved

"[Not using the funding already allocated to keep SNAP going] is a decision the president is making--on his own--to allow people to go hungry."

It really says something that a judge has to order federal agents to not hunt down children on Halloween

Grokipedia and the Coup Against Reality Itself Grokipedia, the copycat of Wikipedia launched by Elon Musk isn’t just a string of AI generated slop, it is a weapon. The launch of "grokipedia" is a calculated, strategic escalation by the billionaire...

I wrote about how "Grokipedia" is a new front on the war against reality itself. It's an attempt by the oligarchic class to seize the means of knowledge production itself and create a weaponized unreality.

Things are so mean-spirited right now, this made me tear up. In the gratuitously cruel age of Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Mike Johnson, it's comforting to be reminded that there still are decent human beings that walk amongst us. Thank you, Heretic Coffee in Portland.
