Look at these fucking heavily armed thugs manhandling crying women.

SecState Rubio claims that no on has died because of USAID cuts and suggested that I had lied in my reporting. So here I show him photos of specific children who have died because of the Trump administration's reckless cancelation of aid: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/o...

Ed McMahon: name three things that do not exist... Carnac: "the tooth fairy, jesus christ, and joni ernst's morals"

The agent who handcuffed a congressional aide is William Krejci of Keasbey, New Jersey, DHS Area Commander. His social media is locked down pretty tight but a Yelp account tied to the same email address he used for LinkedIn shows a face and forearm tattoo that matches the video.

“No! Mis hijos estan en La escuela! (My kids are in school!) Por favor!” Tennessee’s @davidwontshutup.bsky.social on a very difficult video to watch of ICE grabbing a mother outside immigration court in Texas.

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

these knobs are upset that they have to at least pretend to be doing work, which isn't as much fun as being a hateful trolling asshole all day on the internet most of these guys won't last a year

Folks, Please don’t lose sight of the fact that the President is supposed to serve the American people. Not his pockets and his ego. We’re so deep in the mire that we’re losing even the memory of normal. Peanut farm, people. Peanut farm.

The Democrat running against Donald Trump’s ball washer Lindsey Graham is @leejohnsonforsc.com. Throw him a follow.

June 14 isn’t a coronation, it’s our line in the sand. We don’t do kings here. Not for a man who dodged the draft, guts vets' care, and throws a $45M parade for himself. We show up because this is America, not Russia, not North Korea. No crowns. Just a Constitution. Hope to see you all. Goodnight.

The reason Apple manufactures in China is b/c of YEARS of investment in vocational training there. Any effort to bring these industries onshore STARTS WITH INVESTING IN OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. And it will take YEARS. It’s not about tiny hands (so stupid). Here’s Apple CEO Tim Cook

i *wish* we were so much better than this...

RFK Jr., the weird man who failed up and became Health and Human Services secretary, overruled actual smart people and announced the COVID-19 vaccine would be dropped from the government’s immunization schedule for healthy children and pregnant women. My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

One of the biggest enemies to authoritarianism is education. Harvard adds some more free online courses 👏🏼 pll.harvard.edu/course/ameri...

Three weeks from right now, we will be taking to the streets across the country on No Kings Day. Over 1,000 events are planned in response to Trump’s $100 million birthday parade in DC. We hope you will join us on June 14: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

I just realized there's no way at all Kristi Noem has any idea what the nickname "Bergen-Belsen Barbie" refers to. I'm hoping someone can explain it to her, maybe with the help of finger puppets or even the corpse of a dog she recently killed.

Here's what's going to happen to marketplace premiums in each Wisconsin congressional district if the House reconciliation bill passes: huge increases in premium payments across the board. In Van Orden's district alone, premiums for 60 y/o couples with $82k/year combined income triple.

A+ optics, everybody! Keep up the good work

this thread...

authoritarianism.

Willing to bet a very large amount that most of that 413% rise in “assaults” on ICE agents represent unarmed people attacking ICE fists with their faces and boots with their kidneys. Because these people are lying scum.

When schools are run like businesses, our kids become commodities. We can't let profit-driven interests dictate the future of our children's education. #DontDefundPublicSchools #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

I am pleased to have this article, “The End of Rule of Law in America” in The Atlantic this morning. Thank you, Jeffrey Goldberg, @theatlantic.com, @washingtonweekpbs.social, @adriennelaf.bsky.social, @beccarosen.bsky.social

of course they don't, government doesn't work, don't you know... it would be woke to help people after a natural disaster

“It is these constitutional obstacles to a tyrannical president that have made America the greatest nation on Earth for almost 250 years, not the fallen America that Trump delusionally thinks he’s going to make great again tomorrow,” J. Michael Luttig writes:
