A sketch Donald Trump made of the Manhattan skyline is up for auction And (surprise!) Trump Tower figures prominently.

β€œI never wrote a picture in my life.”

Notably, this Donald Trump heavy marker-drawn doodle, which sold at auction in 2019, is dated 2004.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

The No Kings movement needs to be mobilized to become the Democratic Tea Party. Leaders like Clyburn, and many others, need to go.

Analysis | Donald Trump is a new kind of Republican. Yes, his agenda includes Middle East invasions, sexual culture wars, throwing people off their healthcare, and exploding the debt with handouts to the ultra-rich. But he also sells his own crypto, bibles, and cell phone service.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

"We are devastated and heartbroken at the loss of our parents, Melissa and Mark. They were the bright lights at the center of our lives, and we can't believe they are gone. Their love for us was boundless. We miss them so much.
"We want everyone to know that we are both safe and with loved ones. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received, and we appreciate your respect for our family's privacy as we grieve.
"Our family would like to thank law enforcement for their swift action that saved others and for the coordination across communities that led to the arrest of the man who murdered our parents. We especially would like to thank the officers who were first on the scene to our parents' home and their heroic attempts to rescue our mom and dad.
"Our parents touched so many lives, and they leave behind an incredible legacy of dedication to their community that will live on in us, their friends, their colleagues and co-workers, and every single person who knew and loved them.
"If you would like to honor the memory of Mark and Melissa, please consider the following:
β€’ Plant a tree.
β€’ Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail.
β€’ Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do.
β€’ Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it.
β€’ Bake something β€” bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone.
β€’ Try a new hobby and enjoy learning something.
β€’ Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace.
"Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Love your neighbors. Treat each other with kindness and respect. The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else."

@angiecraigmn.bsky.social @repdangoldman.bsky.social @ritchietorres.bsky.social you all voted to censure Rashida Tlaib for saying β€œFrom the River to the Sea.” Will any of you say a single word of condemnation about this?

Mario Guevara, the metro Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter who built a mass audience with his coverage of immigration raids, could be deported following his arrest at a protest over the weekend, according to his attorney.

A lawyer for Guevara told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged what is known as a β€œdetainer” against the journalist, which is often the first step in deportation procedures.

ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card.

This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press.

Episode IV
It Was All So Stupid

Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we’d brought this on ourselves.

My favourite part of the new Captain America movie is when he tries to extort Wakanda for $500b in Vibranium rights before "ironically" teaming up with Hydra to own the libs.

80m as it stands now. Anyone interested in sports and integrated AI summaries, still goes there for scores and more in-depth summaries.

The sooner @bsky.app adds those features, the more users twitter loses, lowering the number of users @bsky.app needs to supplant Twitter as the first app opened
