There's a nice 165 word sentence in The Golden Bowl that would probably reduce him to ashes.

I read the โ€œSAVE Actโ€ (the GOPโ€™s new voter suppression bill) so you donโ€™t have to. This is my one page summary. Jesus itโ€™s bad. 1/

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. Itโ€™s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

This is an excellent question for @thetimes.com. What would be the threshold racism had to cross for you to recognize it as racism, and not as โ€œracismโ€?

We should all thank Marimar Martinez for her courage. An American Citizen, yet because of her skin color DHS assumed she was an illegal immigrant. They put her through hell. She's bravely speaking truth and it sounds very familiar. ICE must be dismantled.

The targeting of Native Americans by ICE is so widespread, tribal governments all over are responding. To protect tribal citizens from ICE raids, tribes are holding events to help citizens get updated IDs and even speeding up the printing and processing times.

Sarah is amazing. I remember the first time I heard her refer to a 'transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government' and I finally, with a sickening sense of apprehension, got it. Her books and substack are so worthy of support. I'm listening to They Knew right now.

The Trump admin is trying to block tribes from regulating pollution on their land! Under U.S. environmental law, Indigenous nations can set their own standards for clean water and clean air on their land with federal approval. Tribal environmental standards are often more...

The good news is, as @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social points out, megalomaniacal leaders ultimately blow themselves up politically or militarily. The bad news is that the longer they survive, the bigger the figurative blast radius.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: โ€œHow will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.โ€

ICE detains two more students from Liam Ramosโ€™s school, officials say The brothersโ€™ mother was taken by ICE and Minnesota educators were forced to bring the children to her

Liam, 5, has been freed, but four other students from his school district remain detained in Texas. Two boys from his elementary school were taken Thurs

โ€œThis isnโ€™t something we are prepared or trained for. Weโ€™ve dedicated our lives to protecting + educating children,โ€ school superintendent told me

These are government employees. So our tax dollars are funding ICE to flash white supremacist cards at vulnerable POC as an intimidation tactic. Who is giving this direction?

Thereโ€™s something deeply sinister happening in this country right now, and I donโ€™t think we can take three more years.

In the run-up to the 2024 elections all that I can remember, of all the different problems and issues facing America then, was people loudly complaining about the lack of quality monuments, ballrooms, and performing arts centers in Washington DC.

Itโ€™s why we elected a real estate oligarch.

This level of disgusting racism and cruelty didnโ€™t exist in a vacuum, and it didnโ€™t end with Epstein.

Epstein files:

โ€œJEFF wanted, โ€˜young, fresh meat girls. Virgins.โ€™ He told โ– , โ€˜Donโ€™t bring me any n*ggers.โ€™โ€

Guevara Peruano v. Wesling, 1:26-cv-10300 - CourtListener.com Docket for Guevara Peruano v. Wesling, 1:26-cv-10300 โ€” Brought to you by Free Law Project, a non-profit dedicated to creating high quality open legal information.

A judge had to issue a court order to ensure ICE provided seizure medication to a detainee, and that detainee still didnโ€™t get their medication.

ICE enforcement is a disability justice issue.

Theyโ€™re a eugenicist movement.

They want the โ€œsick and weakโ€ to die:

What Iโ€™m seeing here is that Epstein is a nexus point for the โ€œintellectualโ€ cabal that shores up the race science justifying our current immigration and anti-DEI policies (Huberman), as well the tone policing moderates (Brooks) that hamstrings oppositions. Oh and their billionaire benefactors.

The stories they tell themselves just boggle the mind. If reality ever managed to bushwhack its way through all this fiction, people like that would fall apart.
