She fucking nailed it. 😆

it’s legitimately a huge fucking scandal that the FBI director has fucked up at least two major investigations because he uses the FBI’s planes as private planes and has actively failed to even bother with one of the highest profile abductions since the lindburgh baby

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.

If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

everyone understands that the only reason you can post "Trump is a pedo" on any social media platform is because Section 230 exists, right?

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, Blind Rohingya refugee dumped by CBP, dies in cold "They just left him."

They killed him.

It takes a lot to infuriate me and break my heart only because you have to be able to tolerate a lot when covering Trump and fascism and try your best to stay centered and hopeful.

This story I can't let go.

They chose to let him just die.

Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social

Remember when Trump yanked funds from Mississippi after learning that the state's welfare chief had directed millions in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds to sports celebrities, including not only Brett Favre, but the Million Dollar man and his two pro-wrestler sons?

Wait. He didn't.

The pileup of blatantly unlawful conduct by the government in this case is astonishing, as is the fact that the Supreme Court allowed the govt to go forward with this program in a shadow docket ruling

JUST IN: Judge Murphy has ruled that the Trump administration's policy of sending deported immigrants to third countries without notice or a chance to challenge is illegal and unconstitutional.

This has nothing to do with fraud.

The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.

Congrats to Fetterman for accomplishing the exact same thing Sinema did, and which will inevitably produce exactly the same result: an incumbent who plainly cannot win the primary for either party.

There's no good reason for anyone to do that (there's plenty of bad reasons), but they did it! 🥳

A White House Staffer Appears to Run Massive Pro-Trump X Account A popular right-wing account that called a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes "a masterpiece" appears to be run by a White House staffer, according to records reviewed by WIRED.

SCOOP: An X account called Johnny MAGA with 300k followers that described the Obamas-as-apes video as "a masterpiece" appears to be a sockpuppet account for a White House rapid-reaction staffer. @makenakelly.bsky.social has all the details:

Woke 2 is going to absolutely bury these people. It is true that in the time
between now and Woke 2, they are going to hurt a lot of people, some very badly. There’s no way around that. But then, again, Woke 2 is going to absolutely bury these people.

Warnock: "We heard tonight the rumblings of a desperate man who's trying to present case he can for the midterms. It was half lies, half grievances. He knows he is quickly losing power."

Many said that the possibility of living next door to the state’s largest prison had forced them to question the state’s primarily punitive approach to incarceration for the first time.

Inject this straight into my abolitionist veins

This speaks both to Mamdanis interpersonal skills as a politician as well as Trumps total deterioration as a human being that he starts this off with "the communist mayor of New York City" and then says a bunch of nice things about him

Massie goes full beast mode today.

Gets on the house floor, shreds the DOJ and starts naming names from the Epstein files.

So it reads to me as if Hegseth is bluffing with absolutely no cards and it's chud dominance politics versus genuine principal and the nerds have a straight flush.

The Old Deal

The left is going to end up with the CIA in the national divorce because educational polarization means knowing anything about China or Iran at all is woke coded, let alone leaning their language and history.

IBM stock, $IBM, falls over -10% after Anthropic announces that Claude can streamline COBOL code.

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

This seems to be a common reply to my thread, so I'll address it here. Basically, the argument is who cares if this is a misleading attack on Newsom, he's bad so if it hurts him it's fine.

And I think it's important to push back on misinformation so that when there are legitimate criticisms...

I'm imagining an instructor somewhere making a syllabus with chat gpt, assigning reading from books that don't exist

But the students don't notice, because they are asking chat gpt to summarize the book or write the essay

Is this bad

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.

As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

Bluesky has not failed--it's literally just a website.

The left, the progressive movement, and American civil society have failed to organize a boycott of the neo-Nazi propaganda website that's central to political media. That's not on Bluesky.
