Should you get snatched out of your home on April 21st because you didn’t file your taxes on time? The government is focused on immigrants now but if you set the precedent that people should get kidnapped over paperwork there’s a whole lot of people who can get taken next

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

KENNEDY: The Census Bureau is under your jurisdiction & responsible for defining what it means to be poor, is that right?

LUTNICK: I don't know

K: Well you need to look, bc it does. What's the % of Americans who live below poverty level?

L: I don't know

K: It's around 11%. It's been constant

ICE Is Expanding Across the US at Breakneck Speed. Here’s Where It’s Going Next ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

How did this happen? And how did this happen so secretly and swiftly? In docs viewed by WIRED, DHS asked GSA explicitly to disregard usual government lease procurement procedures, and even hide lease listings due to “national security concerns.”

I guess that didn't work out

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

It's one scam after another....

Minneapolis protesters arrested during one-month anniversary of Renee Good’s death Several demonstrators taken into custody Saturday after marking killing of Minnesota woman by immigration officer

"One person, as they appear to be placed in handcuffs, says: 'I was here delivering pizza for the protesters. I had no idea that this was happening. I moved to the side of the curb when they started rushing everyone and now they’re arresting me.'"

"It's OK to Be White" has been a slogan for literal Nazis for some time now, if you want to know where the Republican Party is at the moment

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

Three thoughts.

1. It’s always been about the white nationalism

2. He is returning to the old favorites because his support is waning

3. He dabbled with this trope before but would always leave a hair of deniability. Going straight there also seems like a sign of weakness

Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

You should read this. It is the type of detail that experts in authoritarian regimes see as telling.
In this case, state agents are offered impunity from higher ups, and the legal system is rendered inoperative as a mode of accountability.

Immigrant whose skull was broken in eight places during ICE arrest says beating was unprovoked A Mexican immigrant whose skull was broken during his arrest by immigration officers last month in Minnesota says the beating was unprovoked.

ICE officials said he ran into a wall, which doctors immediately rejected as inconsistent with the wounds. The immigrant's account - that he was beaten in the head by steel batons, contrary to DHS guidelines - is more plausible. But no accountability exists for him, or us.

Elizabeth Warren launches probe into booming car repossessions | CNN Business The car repo business is booming as Americans fall behind on their increasingly expensive car payments.

To suburban drivers used to having 100% of road space in their suburb, having to slow down a bit in the city because a pedestrian is crossing feels like oppression. I believe this helps explain some of the state laws preventing blue cities from doing traffic calming or road diets

Corporate media WANTS the GOP in charge FOREVER. That is why you barely hear about the plan to seize all the ballots in Dem areas in Nov 2026. It is going to happen unless we AGGRESSIVELY fight back.

Where Do the Journalists Go Now? As media titans self-combust, what does that mean for reporters, their sources and the news we desperately need?

Today's must read from @mirandagreen.bsky.social

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) ⭐ 7.6 | Documentary 1h 30m

This week I watched a screening of the new documentary Mr Nobody Against Putin, about how the Russian state has transformed schools into indoctrination centres over the past four years.

The most disturbing part for me was knowing that the 🇺🇸regime is starting to make the same efforts.

What else can you say? The President doesn’t see most of us as human.

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

As @jeffsharlet.bsky.social documented in The Family, honoring brutal right wing dictators from around the world has been a National Prayer Breakfast tradition since the 1980s.
