🚨 BREAKING: Sergio Gor, Director of White House Presidential Personnel Office, is using legal intimidation to demand that we remove our citations of news articles questioning his background. FIGHT! Donate to our Legal Defense Fund gofund.me/c1b40e01

Amazing news. This is the power of the people. They got this done. Welcome home, Mahmoud Khalil! Go hug and kiss your baby.

Wow. Flat out Dear Leader authoritarian talk.

Yeah, whoever nominated that traitor to be DNI must be senile as hell! And who vetted here in the Senate?

🤨 Avelo really doesn't like us noticing what they're doing to migrants. First, they painted their ICE planes all-white to protect their brand. Now, their planes are changing how they park at Boeing Field to obstruct cameras that were set up specifically to observe their activities. SHAME!

Famously SpaceX has insanely high churn rate especially for technical roles. I wonder what fraction fo US aerospace engineers have already cycled through once and would never go again.

This is a must read article! @rbreich.bsky.social hits the nail on the head on the huge dangers posed by Palantir!

In Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, a “palantir” is a seeing stone that can be used to distort truth and present selective visions of reality. Palantir Technologies bears a striking similarity. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/palantir-the-worst-of-the-corporate

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

Yeah, I don’t think I’ll be trying out Tesla’s robotic taxi anytime soon 👀 #ProudBlue nasawatch.com/commercializ...

Using US bunker buster bombs dropped by US bombers on Iranian nuclear sites is a declaration of war. Trump says he will decide in two weeks whether to join Israeli attacks. That gives Congress two weeks to do their job and have the POTUS ask for Congressional permission per the Constitution.

We have armed, masked, unidentified men causing violence on our streets, but apparently they're the ones we're meant to trust with our safety. Catch the full episode here:

Six days ago, Democratic Representative, Melissa Hortman, and her husband, Mark, were brutally assassinated in their home. State Senator John Hoffman, and his wife, Yvette, were also shot at their home. *SIX DAYS AGO* Have both parties just moved on or…

Awful. As @peterbeinart.bsky.social notes, neither @schumer.senate.gov nor @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social have signed on to requiring Trump to get cong authorization for war with Iran. As I argued (see below) there should be a bipartisan coalition here. Where is it? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/o...

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

Meanwhile, innocent people are facing a 148,432% increase in assaults from reckless ICE goons.

Notice how George W. Bush, a man who went AWOL, and Donald Trump, a man who dodged the draft five times, are so eager to send *your* children to die in wholly unnecessary wars?

OK but how are you going to prove ICE wrong? What makes you think that particular group of thuggy-looking dudes in masks were from ICE?

what stage of empire is armed standoffs between law enforcement agencies outside sporting events

Can’t make this shit up.

If international relations teaches us anything, if there's a practical takeaway from decades of research, it's this: The confusion and fear generated by uncertainty in militarily-heightened moments is where a lot of bad happens, and responsible leaders should reduce uncertainty where they can.

These people are genuinely giddy at the prospect of creating a police state.

Q: Why is Steve Witkoff not participating in the talks this week? LEAVITT: I can ask Mr. Witkoff why he is not

Leavitt leaves the door open to Trump going to war with Iran without congressional approval

Wow, two weeks! We'll get it right after we get his health care plan, I guess.

damn dude

It's all the same groups involved, with one the main culprits specifically going after trans rights being ADF. From my reporting in @antigravitymag.bsky.social antigravitymagazine.com/feature/host...

Danielle Smith gov't fought for 2yrs to not release its Alberta pension plan survey results. It's finally out. Only 10% of people expressed support, 63% said don't. by Ed Journal's @matthewblack.ca ack , at long last. edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...
