OMG. “After DOGE gained access to NLRB’s systems, there was an increase in attempted logins from locations outside the US, including a user with a Russian IP address. The person with the Russian IP address appeared to have a correct username and password, created minutes earlier by DOGE engineers.”

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

Lawyers across the country, including me, are ringing the bell as loud as we possibly can about the fact that the Abrego Garcia case signals the end of our democracy. The vicious, fascistic lies Trump, Bondi, Miller, and Homan have told about it underscore that they know exactly what they're doing.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Folks,

i know pointing out the hypocrisy doesn't hurt them but telling the You Can't Close Applebee's Party we need to come together as a nation like it's WW2 again is so funny

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

CRT scholars: sure seems like, despite its facially race-neutral laws, racism still substantially structures outcomes in US society. Voters: how dare you push this woke nonsense on our vulnerable children, we're electing Republicans! Republicans: black people are illegal now.

@reedgalen.bsky.social @kurtbardella.bsky.social “Democrats love nothing more than to feel outraged about something and to express that outrage.” While true, Republicans INVENTED performative outrage. They teach a master class on it hourly. The above quote… I had to do some deep breathing.

It was a Nazi salute. Don't let anyone tell you it wasn't.

We should be about 12 hours past Elon being publicly rebuked and jettisoned from politics. I honestly still thought something like this would provoke an allergic reaction on the right and I am pretty freaked out that it hasn't.

I was cleaning the house yesterday in an effort to unplug. My son comes up and shows me the Musk salute. I am stunned. I tell myself if there isn’t a gigantic media-wide freak out happing in a few hours we are in serious trouble. Looked in on things in the evening. Basically crickets.

Braedon: I come from a nation that believed in fascist ideology for a while. And we don’t want to go to that again. We are close to it because people want to simplify complex problems. The essence of fascism is to simplify complex problems and feed people who don't have time to read some bullshit.

low-key one of the most insidious dumb guy beliefs of the last few decades to gain widespread purchase has been this notion that demonstrating pro-social behavior in the hope that others would notice and mirror it, one of the fucking building blocks of any kind of society, is somehow ‘fake’.

Is BlueSky operated by cats who purposely ignore attempts to moderately decrease the number of cat photos I am proffered? Maybe if I dangle a feather below... 🪶🪶🪶
