Remember when Kevin Roberts, at Heritage foundation said "we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” And no one did anything and now we are hypernormalizing disappearing civilians, and arresting members of the judiciary now?

Morning Bluesky. Musk is leaving the Trump Administration, with his reputation in tatters, after failing completely in his task to slash costs and with his businesses collapsing around him.

This goes for any space you are in if you see a fascist or Nazi literally make it impossible for them to exist in the space. Make them afraid to show their faces openly.

it's unfathomably messed up that the president of the United States is using the power of his office to go after a single high school kid.

ok because this is apparently challenging: ‘nazi bar’ is not the bar where all the nazis go. it’s the bar with even one nazi and you choose to stay there because being with a nazi is not sufficiently repugnant to you to leave. that’s twitter right now, with a lot more than one nazi.

My mother never turned water to wine. But she did turn entire classrooms of grade school kids into singing groups.

There's a great investigative piece - or book! - to be written about who is actually governing in this administration. Who writes the EOs, who decides when they go to Trump, etc. This is a reality TV show masquerading as a presidency.

It’s crucial to keep emphasizing that these EOs were lawless. There was never a plausible argument they were constitutional. This administration has nothing but contempt for the constitution and the rule of law.

i think it is bad that high level public officials do not respect the offices they hold or the public they are supposed to serve

Here's a picture that a @kuow.org photographer took in Seattle yesterday, showing the ICE officers masked up in the hallways as they waited to arrest people coming out of their hearings.

🚨Reports around the country today that some people who showed up for their immigration court hearings were told that ICE prosecutors had dismissed their cases — and then were arrested moments later by ICE officers and taken to detention centers for unknown reasons. Happening in multiple cities.

You know how I've been talking about how climate change, disinformation campaigns, and hardened border crossings are all the same issue? I belatedly realized yesterday that, yeah. We're soaking in it now. The future is here

The Republican Party is a death cult. Their policies are irrational and inexplicable until you realize the goal is to increase harm and death, even if doing so is at great expense, such as this decision to remove one of the most effective prophylactic treatments ever invented.

As far as I'm concerned, if the law says - and it does - the Rep McIver has the right to inspect that detention facility, and the police attempt to stop her, they are now just hired muscle breaking the law and if she shot one in the face I wouldn't support charges against her

Biggest issue here is that 6 contradicts 1. People who sat out the election didn't elect Trump. Agency -thus blame - belongs with the people who chose to elect a fascist

The payouts to Babbitt’s family, the pardons of J6 insurrectionists and war criminals, and the growing push on the right to exonerate Chauvin all show that the GOP will forgive any crime if they see it as defending the set of hierarchies they believe constitutes the real America.

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable. The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found': www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4...

Why is the comparison wrong? What about ICE or how ICE operates demonstrates that it’s wrong?
