You know what you could do today instead of doomscrolling all day is go pick up a copy of Persepolis. It is stunningly good.

Isaacman is NASA Daddy for this. Butch and Sunni almost got Laika’d into deep space. Heads should’ve rolled last year.

Ossoff: "There are some folks who are doomscrolling in the fetal position. Every day there is a new outrage. It's easy I know to fear that maybe we could lose our republic. I think what John Lewis would tell us is it's up to us. We have the power to right the ship. Nobody is gonna do it for us."

Why the @jamestalarico.bsky.social @colbertlateshow.bsky.social kerfuffle matters? It has to do with keeping Talarico’s message of what it means to be a Christian away from MAGA. @hcrichardson.bsky.social goes into detail around the 45:57 mark.

Trump DOJ Files 9/11-Era Charges Against Leftists Across the Country Across the country, federal prosecutors are upgrading what would have been routine...

The Trump admin has used 2339A—the “material support for terrorism” statute—against Black Lives Matter protesters in Alabama and anti-ICE demonstrators in Texas.

The ex-DOJ prosecutor who pioneered the use of 2339A says he's never seen anything like it.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

New York Times headline: Libertarians: We Told You So With an image of a big black boot stomping a snake

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart

1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks

2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

The kegchup

McKenzie Scott, Melinda French Gates, and Laurene Powell Jobs are all far better humans than their one-time husbands were. All putting their money to work in constructive ways that their husbands never did.

Members of Congress will be able to view unredacted Epstein files next week Lawmakers will be able to review the files on computers at the Justice Department starting Monday, according to a letter obtained by NBC News. They can take notes but can't have electronic devices.

Members of Congress will be able to begin reviewing the unredacted digital version of the Justice Department’s files on Jeffrey Epstein on Monday morning.

Members of Congress — but not their staff — upon 24 hrs notice, may take notes but can’t bring in any electronic devices.

Conway understands political messaging better than anyone in the game rn.

There’s a lot of terrible shit going on in every corner of the world but I really hope Savannah Guthrie’s mom lives to see her kids again.

WARNOCK: Trump said 'we're going to have a manufacturing boom.' Yes or no, have we had one?

BESSENT: There's the beginnings of a manufacturing boom. We have intentions -- factory groundbreakings


WARNOCK: Do you know how many manufacturing jobs have been lost since 'liberation day'? 72,000

I did not want to share this week’s USDA press release as there’s no comment or objection period, and I don’t want things to seem hopeless.

So I’ll note the comment and objection period is the midterms.

These are your lands.

These are the stakes.

I also think "he was literally selling pardons, none of these are legitimate" is a great message.

Newly released files shed new light on Chomsky and Epstein relationship Latest communications undermine Chomsky’s earlier claims that he primarily had financial dealings with Epstein

Sick fourth-grader among 4 Columbia Heights students held by ICE Columbia Heights Public Schools says four students remain detained by ICE after Liam’s return, including 10-year-old Elizabeth, who has fallen ill.

Elizabeth is a Columbia Heights fourth-grader who loves volleyball, learning English and giggling in the halls with her friends. She's been held in the Dilley Immigration Processing Center for nearly a month, and she and her mom have both fallen ill. sahanjournal.com/education/co...

Therein lies the problem. ICE is terrorizing Los Angeles, and local police are choosing not to enforce the law banning masked federal agents.

This is how trust collapses.

Schumer on the Senate floor this morning:
" ..since the death of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, nothing meaningful has changed about ICE's abuses."

A Psychopath Talking About Seizing Elections—and a Party Too Cowardly to Stop Him “This isn’t a policy disagreement. It’s authoritarianism, said out loud.”

Trump just said Republicans should “take over the voting and nationalize it.” That’s authoritarianism, full stop. The silence from elected Republicans is cowardice—and it’s dangerous heading into November.

Thanks to a court ruling today, extending Temporary Protected Status, Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnics cleansing operation. The ruling is notable.

New data on Alabama’s voucher program:

• 70% of funds went to students already outside public schools
• 45% were already in private school
• 25% were already homeschooling
• Only 28% went to families below the poverty line

The program isn’t reaching the families it was sold to help.
