How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

One of the lessons I hope people take away from Jesse Jackson’s life and the outpouring of remembrances small and large is that progress is made and measured in every act and utterance against oppression and not measured solely in legislative or electoral victories.

This is the Colbert interview with Texas Democrat James Talarico that Barri Weiss, David Ellison & Donald Trump don’t want you to see.

Twice in three months content on CBS has been censored. And this is only the beginning…

Juliana Stratton Understands the Assignment IL Senate candidate knows you don’t find common ground with Trump

me on the IL Senate D primary; Juliana Stratton is the candidate who seems to get that there is no compromising with fascism. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/juliana-st...

We all gathered around to bully a delivery robot on the sidewalk

That old saw about how "good times make weak men" is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they're too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse. Jason CO @jasonc_nc. 2/8/25 I don't think a lot of people appreciate how much of their overall lifestyle and relative certainty is backstopped by a steady, boring stability of systems they don't understand or even realize exist. • 24 L7 1.8K 15K Ill 399K ... Max Dubler @maxdubler True decadence looks like people who are three generations removed from the cultural memory of polio refusing to vaccinate their children against deadly communicable diseases because they don't like needles and don't think there will be any consequences, not queer

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they don’t understand that bad things can happen.

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.

This is what authoritarians are never gonna understand: average, everyday citizens do not like watching paramilitary thugs brutalize children. All the vaporware memes in the world can't fix that for them

if these people had to provide three citations each time they referred to the behaviors of the left, journalism would be over. There would be no more journalism

This NYT column by @polgreen.bsky.social is the truest thing I've ever seen about the REAL reason public trust in the media collapsed

The Cabinet this week
*RFK Jr. bragged about snorting cocaine off of a toilet seat
*Lutnick acknowledged taking his family to Epstein island
*Bondi “The Dow” / refuses to look at victims
*Noem blanket
*Hegseth loses to Kelly, tries to tweet through it
*Bessent “tariffs don’t cause inflation”

Not really sure how you can see Evelyn Normielib (D, Texas) setting fire to a facility that might have the possibility of becoming an ICE concentration camp and despair about how Dem primary voters are gonna pick Gavin "We are Charlie Kirk" Newsom as the nominee

Left out the best part. "You can go peacefully fuck yourself'" Kid is a legend.

Kid with his fist back to punch someone for saying they like ice

When I say I stand on business this what I mean.

get the kid in the brown hoodie a scholarship

i wore a “kick my ass” shirt to a gathering of ass-kickers and someone kicked my ass, what’s happening to america

danny's original tweet which reads, Today, students at my high school in Chicago held an Anti-ICE protest. I was the only one that decided to hold a sign that said ‘I Love ICE’. Instead of allowing me to express my opinion, I was assaulted — Just for standing up for law enforcement. What is happening to America? there is a 47 second video that sees multiple other kids talk smack to him and one of them just lays into him physically

a quote tweet that has transcription from the punch. the tweet reads:“You’re gonna punch me?” “Yeah” “Then you’re gonna in trouble for that” “Okay” Followed by this frame is one of the hardest things I’ve seen on the internet this week. the frame in question is the kid winding up for a punch. it looks exactly like the pepe punching meme

over on x the everything app some Chicago high school kid named Danny Spud tried to disrupt his school's anti-ICE protest by yelling about how much he loves ICE and then filmed himself getting walloped by a fellow student lmao

the quote tweet making fun of him has 3x the likes

Alleged someone allegedly burning a concentration camp in Kansas City.

Suburban wine moms will really be like "you believe in voting? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing a concentration camp" and then very effectively firebomb a concentration camp

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

Justice Dems endorse Kat Abughazaleh in Illinois primary

I finally read this whole piece and the sheer scope of chaos and infighting inside DHS it depicts is breathtaking.

It's 20 stories' worth of scoops crammed into one omnibus account of an agency riven by incompetence and turf wars.

BREAKING: The Trump administraiton has committed a mass violation of ICE detainees' constitutional rights in MN, effectively blocking their acess to attorneys in the Whipple building, a judge ruled tonight.

The judge: Trump appointeee Nancy Brasel

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

RFK Jr. pledged more transparency. Here's what the public doesn't know anymore Health experts say the federal government now shares less public health data, even after Robert F_ Kennedy Jr_ promised “radical transparency.”.

"[L]ayoffs to CDC staff who worked on smoking meant an important survey on youth smoking and vaping — normally out in the fall — was never released." So much for MAHA. www.wsls.com/news/politic...

A heartbreaking new note from a 14-year-old who was living in Hicksville, New York.

Held in immigration detention for 45 DAYS.

“Since I got to this Center all you will feel is sadness and mostly depression.”

THIS is the human impact of Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda.

‘They Picked the Wrong Victim’: New Evidence Contradicts Border Patrol Agent’s Claims in Shooting of Chicago Woman, Attorneys Say The new evidence includes texts to and from Exum following the shooting, surveillance photos and body camera footage from agents who were at the scene of the Oct. 4 shooting of Marimar Martinez.

The new evidence includes texts to and from Exum following the shooting, surveillance photos and body camera footage from agents who were at the scene. Much of it contradicts the narrative spread by DHS, which alleged that Martinez “ambushed” Border Patrol agents and rammed them with her vehicle.

Helluva statement from Colorado Rep Crow (D) on the Trump administration's failure to indict him and others

Bovino sent this email at 3:11 p.m. on Oct. 4.

This is what the scene looked like at 2:48 p.m. when the first group of feds made their exit. They gassed people again at 3:27 p.m.

So during this attack, Bovino congratulated his guy who kicked everything off by shooting a woman five times.
