"Dear Sweet Blessed Little Baby Jesus, please watch over our armed thugs as they turn away the stranger, persecute the foreigner and harm the least of our brothers and sisters."

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there. Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

We are experiencing a "dual state" phenomenon, writes @pemalevy.bsky.social, when "a dictator can exercise unfettered power " ensuring a "'zone of lawlessness' can swallow some, while the rest go about their lives under the protection of the law." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I don’t mean to overreact or anything, but this is the commander-in-chief telling military personnel that Democrats are a problem to be dealt with.

Was about to post another chilling ICE raid story. 💀

Instead—let’s spotlight groups like Chicago’s People’s Patrol. 🫶

MAGA’s “Voter Fraud” Watchdog Votes in a Swing State. He Doesn’t Live There. A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec casts a ballot in one state and lives in another.

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years.

From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

when you literally control all of the branches of government… #satire

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law.

Not. One.

Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters.

Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

Education Department employees surprised to find their email automatically changed to blame Democrats for shutdown Five furloughed employees told NBC News they had put up nonpartisan out-of-office messages, only to see they were changed - without their permission - to partisan ones.

Absolutely insane

If you hate the Pope because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

Ohio’s new age verification law targeting porn goes into effect today, which means people will either have to use a VPN or submit their IDs to use Bluesky. This is Project 2025 in action. The goal is to limit freedom and make it harder to access anything remotely progressive

The gaslighting is wild. THEY control the White House, the House, and the Senate—yet always find a way to blame Democrats for their mess.

The so-called “$1.5 trillion wish list” is about protecting health care, food assistance, and housing. (1/2)

'I want his name to be known': Wife of immigrant injured at ICE facility shooting speaks out Stephany Gauffeny says she wants the world to know that her husband, Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez, is more than "just an immigrant or a detainee, or a criminal."

A victim of the shooting at the ICE facility is UNCONSCIOUS, in critical care, may not survive, his wife is about to give birth, and ICE IS KEEPING HIM SHACKLED TO HIS HOSPITAL BED:

I just unlocked a new level of rage.

"In any other country,
if federal agents fired upon journalists
and protestors when unprovoked,
what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down busy streets,
harassing civilians and demanding their papers,
what would we say?
I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is –Authoritarianism.
So let's not pretend it's something else
when it happens in our American cities."

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

US whistleblowers say they were fired for raising fair housing concerns Hud attorneys who said fighting discrimination not a Trump priority call dismissals ‘as blatant as can be’

⚠️ Angry rant:
despite following proper protocol for whistleblowers the motherfuckers running what’s left of my Agency fired these two today for daring to tell the American people that their government is no longer interested in ensuring fair housing for all.

They would not have fired them if there was nothing to hide. Read the statement from Warren and the Senate Banking Committee but we know this will come to nothing with the judicial branch rubber stamping these illegal activities.

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

I'm no military tactician, but it does feel like putting your entire leadership hierarchy in one room together for no reason other than a globally televised photo-op is not actually "warrior ethos."

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

White House to agencies: Prepare mass firing plans for a potential shutdown In memo, the Trump administration says the Reduction-in-Force plans would go beyond standard shutdown furloughs.

This is mafia-style blackmail, plain and simple.

These workers have nothing to do with the ongoing disputes that have brought us to the brink of a shutdown.

It’s not only an attack on Americans’ services and benefits — it’s also likely illegal. We’ll be fighting back with all we’ve got.

BREAKING: Starbucks just announced a $1 billion restructuring and will close 59 unionized stores — nearly 10% of union locations.

22-year-old Ward Sakeik, a Palestinian woman who has lived in Texas since she was 9, says her experience in federal detainment could only be identified as “human trafficking.” And she’s not staying quiet about the women she was forced to leave behind.

Trump's Big Autism Announcement and What It Means for the Disability Community The MAHA team came out swinging today against vaccines, Tylenol and more. Their big autism announcement was riddled with eugenicist language designed to blame and punish people for their disabilities.

Today’s autism announcement was just as bad as we feared

Trump blamed Tylenol & vaccines for autism

They encouraged women to just “tough out” their pain

They praised people who don’t “need” meds or vaccines

These are eugenicist talking points & they’re devastating to the disability community:
