I love Bluesky because it's often fun but I hate it because I had to read a post where someone called Leslie Knope a neocon shill and to you I say it is a television show and it absolutely does not matter you sound like a maniac

Border Patrol agent 'bragged' about shooting woman in Brighton Park, defense attorney says Testimony from the agent who shot a woman multiple times in an immigration enforcement action revealed how he touted his marksmanship in leaving seven wounds despite firing five bullets. He later text...

A Border Patrol agent who shot a woman five times on Chicago’s Southwest Side later bragged about his shooting skills to friends:

“I’m up for another round of ‘f--- around and find out.’”

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that?

Jim Banks says he supports ending the filibuster

It was a rejection of the entire administration and Dems should see this as a signal to become an actual opposition party. On everything. You don't stop the shutdown. You don't approve another appointee. You do nothing at all. The voters saved you, not the other way around. LEARN TO LEAD.

A very peculiar pigeon stall! Caught on the outside wire!

this is actually impressive, making up a brand new nobel peace prize replacement is a genuine innovation in bribery

absolutely nobody does corruption like FIFA

DHS tweet: The U.S. has no obligation to host foreigners, like Sami Hamdi, who support terrorism and actively undermine the safety of Americans. And we won't. There is no room in the United States for the rest of the world’s terrorist sympathizers, and we are under no obligation to admit them or let them stay here. @Sec_Noem has made it clear that anyone who thinks they can come to America and hide behind the First Amendment to advocate for anti-American and anti-Semitic violence and terrorism – think again.

The Department of Homeland Security: “hide behind the First Amendment”

Ellis: "If they are making changes to what they do because they have been tear gassed, because they've been hit in the head with a pepperball — twice. Because they've been staring down barrels of guns. Then that is what matters."

Prosecution is HAMMERING Bovino's testimony and being very clear that these are lies, not mistakes

Art calls it the government's "fever dream about what is going on."

The Federal government, along with the state of Texas, continue their crusade against the Prairieland Defendants. Des is only one of the 18 protesters that the Trump administration is attempting to paint as an “antifa” terrorist group.

The GOP War Over Which Jews to Hate Left Jews? Or all of them?

wrote about the supposed war over antisemitism in the GOP, which is really a war over which Jews to hate. Is it all of them, or just those on the left? www.everythingishorrible.net/p/the-gop-wa...

What's happening in TX-18 is more obscene than not seating Grijalva during pro formas. Turner died in March. Abbott delayed the special election until yesterday, and now it goes to a runoff early *next year.*

Congress can and should require special elections to be held within 90 days of a vacancy.

lol gtfoh with this

Amazing how upfront and unfiltered he is about his ongoing authoritarian project. The goal is to make sure the opposition can never win, and he flat-out says it.

Staff are picketing in front of City Hall, where their office is located.

It’s already made an impact. According to the Council President, enough councilors have refused to cross the picket line (including her) that today’s council meeting has been cancelled due to lack of quorum.

Let White People Be the Face of Trump’s Hunger Crisis—Opinion Black suffering has never moved this country to act. Maybe seeing white families skip meals will finally make us admit that food insecurity isn’t fate—it’s a choice politicians keep making.

@thatgrlwitapen.bsky.social i have a whole section on ronald reagan's welfare queen lie in my latest piece. cheers~ rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/11/04/f...

A similar, smaller scale thing just happened in the Josephine County (OR) GOP. A bunch of county leaders and precinct captains quit the GOP and formed a group called “United Conservatives.” The OR GOP currently has no official organization in the county.

What would happen? Dawg we already there.

The “forcibly” issue hangs on whether any action — in this case, yes, the throwing of the possibly, possibly not, exploding sandwich — must have carried a risk of inflicting bodily harm.

As DHS attorneys argue in court this morning that reporters are somehow just wandering into the path of fire and catching strays is their own fault, here's a video from 9/26 (the date in question) that shows feds aiming directly at an obvious press gaggle trying to stay out of their way:

Just left the latest hearing in Jim Comey's criminal case. It did not go well for DOJ

The magistrate judge scolded them for an "indict first, investigate second" posture and ordered them to turn over reams of material — including all grand jury info — to Comey's team

Democrats Retain Control of Pennsylvania's Supreme Court with Three-Seat Sweep - Bolts Three Democratic justices on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court have defeated an unusually high-profile Republican bid to unseat them. They secured large statewide victories on Tuesday, following an histo...

Republicans were really hoping to win control of Pennsylvania's state supreme court before the next presidential election.

But Democrats swept 3 seats today.

It's now very unlikely the GOP can win an outright majority on the court before at least 2029:

“New York will remain a city of immigrants. A city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and as of tonight, led by an immigrant.”
