The US military is following Trump’s illegal orders to murder civilians in international waters in the Caribbean. Of course, they will follow orders to murder civilians within the US as well.

If he orders them to kill democrats or “antifa”, they’ll do it without hesitation.

Revealed: ICE violates its own policy by holding people in secretive rooms for days or weeks Guardian analysis finds ICE increasingly keeps people in holding rooms with little oversight, as some facilities see a 600% rise in detention length

@mta.info @mtaalerts.bsky.social get S/B R trains moving. This is ridiculous. It shouldn’t take 2+ hours to get home from midtown. W.T.F.

If you live in a state with a large rural population, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider investigating which areas in your region are food deserts & consider possibly giving to food banks that serve them. Rural food deserts are going to be the regions worst hit by the SNAP cutoff. Absolutely devastating.

@mtaalerts.bsky.social @mta.info it’s taken an hour, on a S/B N train, to get from Tones Square to the middle of the Manhattan bridge. WTF.

@mta.info @mtaalerts.bsky.social hi, I know it rained today, but I’d like to get home before tomorrow night. Get the subways going.

DOJ Scrubs Jan. 6 Attack From Court Record After Suspending Career Prosecutors Read more here.

This is next level authoritarianism.👇

"Following the suspension of two career prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice quietly revised a sentencing memo in a high-profile case — removing all references to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and President Donald Trump’s social media post."

North Carolina Is the Canary in the Election Coal Mine Americans don’t have to imagine what attempts to subvert an election could look like, because it’s already happening in one state.

Modern authoritarians seldom cancel elections, because they prefer the veneer of democratic choice that voting provides, and because they can tilt the playing field toward themselves. “No one likes an election better than Vladimir Putin,” the Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias told me.

This Little-Known Appeal Could Force Your Insurer to Pay for Lifesaving Care. Here’s How to File It. When a health insurer refuses to pay for your treatment, you may have the right to have the denial reviewed — and potentially overturned — by an independent provider. Here are six steps experts sugges...

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment.

Here’s what experts say you need to know.

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

I honestly look forward to the day that anal polyp elf on the shelf goes on trial for crimes against humanity.

Having lived in both places for roughly half my life, yeah. That checks. And there is definitely a different energy and mood about this candidate/race than just about any other I’ve been through. That’s how much so many people are craving a meaningful attempt at change.

This. And the reality that, anybody who is actually on it would rather not be. Most people want to be able to make their own way and not need help. It’s an awful psychological feeling for lots of people to admit they’re in trouble enough to need it, especially if they’re already busting their asses.

Since they’re both canon in the GO universe, it’d be a riot to make him play both acting opposite himself.

Long overdue, and it’s bullshit that Nicole Malliotakis is my rep.

ROLLING STONE: “The current Congress has dropped the pretense of public service altogether… Congress enjoys ultraluxe health care as it fights to gut yours.”

@RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn why don’t you care about anyone but yourselves? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Hey, they still put Nazis on trial in their 90’s and a few 100’s. I’m all for it. I don’t know if I would call it justice, but at least it’s not nothing.

Anybody else getting the feeling that Congress may just never reconvene? After that whole “I am the president and the speaker” bullshit statement from the orange doom potato, and unilateral acts, it’s not so implausible.

Yeah. That part. Like, if she wants to prove how opposite she’d be to everything happening, and she hasn’t yet shown up to visibly fight it, whether she’s a candidate or not, that speaks volumes. And Dems wonder why the base is mad.

Trump flaunts his banking heir pal Timothy Mellon as a shadowy savior, broadcasting a measly $130M to pinch-hit military pay amid shutdown chaos, netting troops a pitiful $100 each while skirting laws. #GovernmentShutdown

Whoaaaaa

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

🚨 oh look! Jack Smith is calling Marsha Blackburn’s bluff. Surely she should want him to testify publicly if she isn’t entirely full of 💩, right? Right??

Trump Administration To Monitor Voting in California and New Jersey Read more here.

NEW: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Friday that it will send election monitors to polling sites in California and New Jersey — a move that Democrats and democracy advocates warned may be a potential step toward the Trump administration seizing control of voting.

Without the recent examples, some of us have been screaming this since the last admin. It’s like talking to a brick wall.

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

#EpsteinBallroom should definitely not be a hashtag we use freely

If these two presidencies weren’t evidence enough that a system of laws and rules based on scout’s honor for enforcement isn’t sustainable, I don’t know what is. Everybody’s screaming about “he can’t DO that!” after he does it while not stopping him from doing it. That doesn’t work.

Fight back. Thank you, @newyorkstateag.bsky.social
