U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

It takes 3-5 business days and the soul of your first born child to cancel your cable subscription but the Epstein Class can pay the equivalent of less than a minute’s wages for the privilege of permanently poisoning us all.

Should you get snatched out of your home on April 21st because you didn’t file your taxes on time? The government is focused on immigrants now but if you set the precedent that people should get kidnapped over paperwork there’s a whole lot of people who can get taken next

So I think everyone knows what Chuck E. Cheese is but for non-parents who don't know what LifeTouch is, it's the company that for decades has had a near-monopoly on school pictures.

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION THIS STORY

THIS WOMAN SHOULD NOT BE ROTTING IN A PRISON CAMP

(no one should be)

High schools all over New Hampshire have been having walk outs. *New Hampshire* ok? This generation is letting this radicalize them.

Baffled by transphobes insisting that the name on your birth certificate is Your True Name Forever when it was common in my grandparents' generation to just...pick a name you like and use that, nbd. I literally found out both of my grandma's birth certificate first names FROM THEIR OBITUARIES.

Shoulda put this here myself, but here you go!

Renee Good's widow shared this statement with us today. It's absolutely heart-wrenching. 💔

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

The wealthy and well connected put all the burden on the backs of regular people. This should be unacceptable to anyone, no matter what party you are with.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

wrt to some of the replies to this post, part of why the media has “moved on” is because it has become extraordinarily difficult to document ICE activity on the ground, outside of them arresting citizens.

The refusal to see it is information. The decision to not believe the victims of these powerful people is information. The ongoing decision to give these pedophiles and rapist a pass instead of stripping their privileges to the studs is information.

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

Dumping people has always been a brutal law enforcement sport; doing it in this weather could be a lethal one. (David is responding to Jeffries deciding to take a stand against deporting citizens, which is not what they're doing; it's a catch, abuse, and release program when it's not lethal.)

Watching these Grammys, you have to wonder if perhaps the Silicon Valley bros made a classic VC mistake and went all-in on reactionary politics right before the bottom dropped out.

exactly. this is not difficult.

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it

Very important vote. It makes repealing ICE surge funding the mainstream position in the party, with bipartisan support.

Millerism means Minneapolis times 100 for a decade. It would tend the United States apart. It is something close to Milosevic’s line.

jesus christ

making tulsi gabbard DNI is itself a watergate level scandal

How the Supreme Court Secretly Made Itself Even More Secretive

The idea that the Court should operate entirely in secret is a modern phenomenon. The idea that the Court should be separated from the public is a modern phenomenon. Earlier generations did not accept a powerful, isolated & secretive Court and we shouldn't either 1/6

holy shit

I think the story of what has happened in Minneapolis is both top-down (the incredible organizing and training work by groups like MONARCA) and bottom-up (the radicalization of a population being invaded and the latent support that provides).

It's a little myopic to focus on one without the other.

ice is killing americans and democrats are still voting for trump's nominees

State Knew ICE Plans for Merrimack As Early As Jan. 12 Documents obtained by the New Hampshire ACLU show state officials have known for weeks that Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to turn a Merrimack warehouse into a prison.

WOW: State leaders say NH Governor Kelly Ayotte lied about her knowledge of ICE's plan to build a giant human warehouse in the state.

Documents obtained by @aclu-nh.bsky.social show the state government has known for weeks about the Merrimack facility bc ICE is actively pursuing legal approval.

This is the key story of Minneapolis- mass organizing of a significant percentage of the population.

Rallies are great but building trained networks of activists with real skills to challenge autocracy is the key to defeating the far right over the long term.
