When it's too late, all the establishment and corporate bootlickers will realize no matter how much you try to placate MAGA, it's never enough. It's a fascist movement that doesn't care about rules or reciprocity. It's about gaining power by any means necessary. It's all projection all the time.

😕🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve said it before but it is embarrassing that so many intellectuals spent years in small factional battles over the propriety of calling this fascism.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

i have this picture of fred shuttlesworth in my class, his house just got bombed, and it’s equal parts can you believe this shit and equal parts well i guess we go on. i think it’s one of the best pictures of america ever taken.

COLORADO… My Pillow Guy Mike Lindell admitting in court he has no evidence the 2020 election was rigged…

The notion that cutting thousands of public servants from the Forest Service, and thousands more from the National Park Service and BLM, is somehow going to make this country better off is just lunacy.

What? Biden blocked the purchase of US Steel by Nippon to keep it an American company. Trump allowed the sale to Nippon, stating the even though Nippon owns it, US Steel will remain a US company. Wharton needs to take Trump's degree back.

“For the first time since 1917, Moody’s Rating Service downgraded the credit rating of the US…” Meidas Touch, today

Trump, bin Salman, and Musk in Saudi Arabia:

FedEx donated $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund. Now, FedEx board member David Steiner is set to lead the USPS. I guess money does buy power in Trump’s America.

What ICE is doing is not deportation or detention. It's kidnapping. It's human trafficking, delivering individuals to companies/countries in transactions for financial gain. We need to upgrade our language. Words matter.

Wondering who the ICE guys are wearing the masks? Pretty sure it's. Jan. 6 to ICE pipeline

New interview! On Trump and the origins of the American mafia state -- and much more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmPX...

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Marsha is the fraud

Some folks on the hellsite asked us if what @timmiller.bsky.social is saying on @thebulwark.com about Trump’s crypto scam and the Abu Dhabi bribery scheme is true, so we asked Grok for them👇🏽. (Spoiler: yes) Video: www.threads.com/@thetnholler...

They're dismantling (what remains of) the social safety net and replacing it with a dragnet instead.

One of the most underrated stories over the last 5 years is the Dems who have been corrupted by crypto money (growing every day as crypto pours money into primaries) causing a big split within the Dem caucus

Trump’s proposed budget slashes billions for essential programs that millions of Americans rely on—just to hand over $1 trillion for military spending overseen by Pete Hegseth and help give massive tax breaks to the wealthy.

“Trump’s refusal to be seriously questioned will only get worse. This is the outgrowth of being handed near-total immunity…underscoring his belief in his increasing omnipotence & dictatorial powers…& yes-men perpetually buffing his fragile, narcissistic ego.” www.americaamerica.news/p/trumps-ris...

my most conservative coded trait is the belief that this hustle culture, money at all costs driver of human behavior is the logical endpoint of a lack of spiritual fulfillment. and i’m not talking about religion. i’m saying these people are lost

Amazon planned to display cost of Trump's tariffs. Trump complained — Amazon backtracked. This of course comes after Bezos donated to Trump's inauguration and Amazon bought a Melania documentary. And remember that Amazon is being sued by FTC for antitrust violations. Hello?

Ten years of Trump going on TV and just fucking saying whatever, and still nothing like an industry set of best practices to deal with it. Put someone on the set with a laptop to look stuff up, pause the interview, whatever. He'd walk off but so what. Amazing to still be at "agree to disagree."

most speech repressive administration in generations and yet millions fell/fall for their phony posturing as absolutists.

Well, this is horrifying.

ICE just took a woman from military housing. While her husband is on active duty, at sea.

This vague and subjective wording is deliberate. So basically, if you live in a neighborhood or city that is gang infested, you are a target simply for the crime of living in poverty. You could have a friend, family member, who took the wrong path, and be jailed simply because you know them….

Great talk from @mskellymhayes.bsky.social on being in college in an era of autocracy and cruelty. I'm showing this to my daughter, who is about to graduate high school. If you've got an older teen or young adult in your life, this is a recommended read. organizingmythoughts.org/must-reads-a...

if you want conservatives to turn against artificial intelligence just tell them we ran one million scenarios through the giant machine and it is gay now

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

Quotas. This cannot end well.

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

If someone is arguing against due process, just ask them if they believe someone is innocent until proven guilty. It's the same thing.

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

they are running up against, as all bloodthirsty anti-immigrant parties do, the problem that many migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers are not actually lying about having life-threatening reasons for leaving their home countries, and thus "deterrence by cruelty" converges to "murder and torture"

My latest —

Have there been any updates on any of the individuals sent to CECOT? My awful fear is that none of these people see the inside of the prison and are killed immediately after processing.

Historians: Quibbling Over Exact Definition Of Concentration Camp Sign Of Healthy Society

When law firms signed those deals with Trump, people warned: there are no guarantees he won’t come back for more. So here we are. A six-byline story: @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/u...

The entire POINT is to cultivate an obedient press and docile population that accepts accusations without pushback. The fact that the administration’s accusations are increasingly overtly ass-damp is a feature, not bug.

If you’re charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump personally helps bring you back to the US. If you’re a working-class father of three charged with no crime, Trump says it’s not “up to” him.

This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process. If you *aren’t* outraged, you need to check your fucking humanity.
