VC firm Andreessen Horowitz hired Daniel Penny for choking a black man to death on the New York subway

Three-year-old child forced to serve as her own attorney in Tucson immigration court More than a dozen undocumented minors were forced to make their case in front of an immigration judge as the Trump administration ramps up removal proceedings.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Anyone who says “be normal” betrays that they have an implicit value system of who is considered normal and who is not, and when you have that, you will always value some people and traits over another. They will always replicate hierarchies of power in the long run.

More of this nationwide please!

undercovered as part of Our Current Nightmare that 60% of Republican SCOTUS appointments in the 21st century got there by stealing the 2000 election for Bush.

AI is a crisis for the climate. @naomiaklein.bsky.social

1. Historically, eugenics was not a pseudoscience. It was *science* Almost every scientist, social scientist, academic, etc. believed in the validity of eugenics. You would have to search far & wide to find a scientist that didn't believe in some form of it. They taught it in college!

Van Hollen was already one of the leading critics of the Israeli state in the Senate but you can really tell Mamdani's victory has emboldened him, among others.

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling”

Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

He's a ghoul.

One thing that gets me about this beyond the statement itself is you can tell how practiced it is. This man either came up with or adopted this messaging and role-played this answer complete with hand gestures many times. This is the best he has to offer.

Trump pardoned Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas (an repeated progressive target in Dem primaries, he narrowly survived multiple times) from bribery and conspiracy charges.

Cuellar just thanked him profusely on social; obvious questions as to whether Cuellar switches parties.

The error can be seen here too. Klobuchar fundamentally doesn’t think that this is an emergency.

South Korean legislators took to the streets. Democratic leaders are twiddling their thumbs and pretending this is a normal time and they can wait till midterms while Trump starts wars.

The thread covers some of this but not enough.

What it misses is that Jeffries is busy coming up with slogans while he is telling his members not to take action.

The problem is the lack of action. And keeping busy with slogans now is an error.

"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that's the case."

This is a flat-out 100% lie from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and he knows it. Impeachment resolutions are privileged, they can force a vote at any time.

The country is utterly fucked if these Democrats keep being voted back in power.

Zillow Removes Climate Risk Scores From Home Listings

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

Don't look up!

"Republicans won't vote for it." "But the Supreme Court..." etc. etc.

These things aren't savvy realism. They're nihilistic defeatism, indistinguishable in substance and effect from outright support for Trumpism. Human institutions are not immutable facts of nature. We make and we can remake them.

Again they know that public sentiment is anti Trump, they have a very good idea of what people want

They are more concerned with managing peoples expectations over preventing this disaster

"No ceiling" results in what we have: a couple dozen psychopaths control several trillion dollars and the power has made them go stark raving mad. They are obsessed with using their concentrated wealth to punish the population and remake the country into a failed state and international pariah.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.

Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

The main reason we're in this situation is a bunch of war criminal shitbags from the Reagan administration paved the way for fascism.

And the best thing you can do is ask the grunts not to follow illegal orders. What about your part of the bargain?

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping at Target, Amazon, and Home Depot during the holiday weekend over their support for Trump's authoritarian policies.

I encourage you to join — and shop small. https://weaintbuyingit.com/

Machado is an insane character she's basically if Malala got the Nobel Prize in 2002 and it also turned out she was lying to the US so they could sell Afghan oil to Halliburton

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro begins serving 27-year prison sentence.

Chuck Schumer Faces Pushback From a ‘Fight Club’ of Senate Democrats

Most insubstantial "rebellion" ever. They're annoyed by three recruitments in key races. In one, their alternative imploded w/ a Nazi tattoo. In another, they're split among different candidates. So this amounts to one race, MN, where they're united behind the lt. gov. against a House member.
