New in PN: Adam Serwer on America's "new dark age" "They see this as a long-term investment in a more ignorant population reliant on sources of information they can control — a docile population that can be easily manipulated." — @adamserwer.bsky.social

ICE targeted an elementary school graduation to target allegedly undocumented parents. Fascism isn’t coming. It’s here.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

It's one of the greatest preventable mass deaths in modern history: around two people every minute of every day, day and night, week after week, soon to be year after year.

On the one hand, things are pretty f*cking bleak. On the other hand, it's June 🌈, it didn't rain (much) today ☀️, and we have each other to fight these cretins. Love wins. #keepfightingback

Couple thoughts on this Ukrainian operation: 18 months of planning with no leaks is crazy impressive. The intelligence picture, the OpSec, and the execution were all top notch. I’m curious to see what else they have planned, and yes I’m worried about how Russia will respond.

Wow — John Fetterman has missed a remarkable 30 votes this year, has cancelled town halls, and avoids engaging with voters. But he did make time to go on a first-class, five-star hotel, all-expenses paid $36,000 trip to Israel to barbecue & hang out with Israeli military and government officials.

#Russia is about to succeed in what they said about 70 years ago. That they would take #America without firing a shot. They almost have. Entirely. They have our data. They own our government. We have no laws. No due process. People are being eugenics’d out or disappeared. #RESIST

ICE pretended to arrest a 21 yo in order to force her to call her undocumented mother to come leave the house (where she was safe from ICE arrest) to care for her baby. When the mother came, she was abducted and the daughter was suddenly of no interest to ICE. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

It's not only breathtakingly corrupt, it's manifestly illegal, no matter what permission is received from a cowardly and compromised Department of Justice.

I'm no fan of Mike Pence's stance or policies (or really his personality or anything else about him...) BUT he is absolutely a national hero for doing the right thing on Jan 6th when he was pressured to reject the Constitution and all that it stands for - he is a Profile in Courage.

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.
