sadly but realistically, this will probably have more of an effect than any statement from any politician.

seriously, keep pressuring corporations that cooperate with this authoritarian regime.

money talks.

Former 'Alligator Alcatraz' worker describes 'inhumane' conditions inside In an exclusive report, NBC6 spoke with a former corrections officer who says she saw hundreds held in cages with no sunlight, backed up toilets and little access to showers.

A former “Alligator Alcatraz” worker says detainees are subject to “inhumane” conditions — packed by the hundreds into cages without sunlight, with overflowing toilets and limited access to showers.

Hi. I work at the Library of Congress. It genuinely was a technical error. There's not even anybody at the Library right now who's a Trump appointee/insert to carry out this theoretical dirty work. The guy Trump tried to appoint as Librarian, Todd Blanche, ain't here.

Basically, Hanlon's Razor.

I'm late to this, but what a fabulous headline (and excellent story) www.niemanlab.org/2025/08/alde...

a man in a suit and tie says that means that it is not illegal .. ALT: a man in a suit and tie says that means that it is not illegal ..

A former personal attorney to the president, now an Assistant U.S. Attorney General, conducting an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell is fraught with ethical landmines. It risks:

-Violating DOJ ethics rules
-Undermining ongoing criminal investigations
-Compromising public faith in the justice system

Trump’s integrity dream team is huddling up tonight to decide whether to release a tape of Maxwell—convicted child sex trafficker and gold medal liar—answering softball questions from Deputy AG Todd Blanche.

Apparently, during their “fact-finding” chat 🙄, she exonerated the felon. 1/2

Texas Democrat Greg Casar warns Trump-backed redistricting threatens voting rights U.S. Rep. Greg Casar's job is threatened by Republicans' new redistricting plan. He says the map was drawn by Trump's administration and threatens "millions of Texans voting rights."

No biggie, just an American president suggesting the federal government would take over New York City if he doesn’t like who they choose as mayor.

Will of the people, be damned.

As @wkamaubell.bsky.social says,
“That is called FASCISM!”

Maybe switched to signal.

They say the meeting's been cancelled. What I think they were going to discuss is the 25th amendment and the line of succession to the presidency. That makes much more sense considering who is involved. Notice the attendees do not include the First Felon. Things that make you go Hmmmm.

Officials: Kraft solicited sex day of AFC title game Patriots owner Robert Kraft has been charged with two counts of first-degree solicitation of a prostitute, with a scheduled court date of April 24.

Cover ups are Pam Bondi's specialty. Pam Bondi also squashed the Robert Kraft Human Trafficking arrest in Florida as a favor for Trump. She made it all disappear. Witness' and video evidence too. She has been a fixer for Trump for years. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Sounds like a conspiracy to obstruct justice to me.

This is high level Justice Dept officials meeting with White House leaders about a massive cover up on an ongoing investigation.

Oh look, ICE is copying literal Nazi recruiting propaganda again. The poster on the right is for the Volkssturm, the Nazi militia of older men and boys established during the final months of World War II.

This is no accident. Remember, DHS did the same thing a few weeks ago. They love using Nazi imagery.

As we watch this unfold, worth reading SDNY's press release when Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced. She's a fucking monster:

Ghislaine Maxwell Sentenced To 20 Years In Prison For Conspiring With Jeffrey Epstein To Sexually Abuse Minors

Whoops.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announces he will cancel $500 million in vaccine development projects.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

No one saw this coming, right? (Looking at you, Bill Cassidy.)

Kennedy lied his way thru his confirmation hearings so he could attain the power he needs to implement his reckless plan to undercut, if not destroy, the nation’s vaccine system.

This will cause deaths. Thank you, Trump voters.

The guy who has been anti-vax for two decades without any scientific evidence to back it up, promised to Congress that he wasn’t anti-vax, got confirmed, and then immediately started doing anti-vax things

A short sighted decision which will lead to deaths and impact preparedness for future infectious disease outbreaks.

We will all be sicker and poorer and worse off because they are turning biomedical research into a bonfire, lit with the torch of their lies about the COVID vaccines. These people hate us so much they'd rather die of cancer than allow us to live without fear.

@charlesgaba.com to me: “Everything [Kennedy], the Trump administration and congressional Republicans are doing seems to be intended to ensure that sick people simply die off, which presumably would make those who survive healthier on average, thus achieving his ‘maha’ goal.”

Heads-up: You might want to re-vet this account. They stole one of my lists from last night & posted it as their own. If they'll do it once, they'll do it again. So disrespectful.
