We are in the grip of degenerates.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

hey siri, does the military like it when they are subjected to open disrespect from civilian leaders?

PROTESTING 101: FFS, anyone who broadcasts where they are or what they're doing on social media is either showboating or an idiot. #StandWithLA Don’t be an idiot by implicating yourself in an age of digital surveillance. Judges don’t care if you were ‘just kidding.’ #GoodTrouble Please repost.

fuck off with the “waving a mexican flag while protesting ICE is a bad look” It’s Los Angeles not The Angels pinches pendejos no corremos y no nos escondemos 🇲🇽

Independent journalism is when you can write what Terry Moran wrote without getting in trouble. Corporate journalism is when you can’t. It’s why many left the latter for the former. I understand the rationale behind corp journalism rules, I’m just glad they don’t apply to me

Did you know that when Pam Bondi said "We presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him," she was admitting she failed to follow the extradition process, proving he could have been returned at any time? My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/abrego-gar...

Sending out a five-year-old picture is…not…peaceful, Ted.

“Anyone”

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

I feel we need to stop talking about how to *save* American democracy, and start talking about how to get it back.

In a world full of Stephen Millers, be a Terry Moran.

Oh, honey . . . You can’t even get your wife back.

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

You could win a DA's race telling people you're prepared to bring whatever charges are possible, or to help a federal lawsuit against ICE if they do shit like this.

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

Moses Mike as toady. perfectly apt.

Nixon sent troops to a campus protest. The National Guard killed 4 students at Kent State. Now the Shitwaffle calls protesters “terrorists,” unleashes ICE, and praises violence. Different decade. Same authoritarian playbook. Learn history—or repeat it in blood. youtu.be/MN_9VqfVQ9c?...

Within the next 3 years, there will be so much AI, in particular AI video, people won’t know if what they see or hear is real. Which will lead to an explosion of f2f engagement, events and jobs. Those that were in the office will be in the field. Call it the Milli Vanilli effect

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.

Every accusation is a confession

Critically important point from Juliette. The only real justification for federalizing the nat guard over a governors objection is when the civil authorities are defying the law. This is attack on the sovereign right of the people of California to self government.

He shouldn’t have taken the post down. He’s a reporter. And he was reporting facts.

This is what fascism looks like.

Imagine putting on all this tactical gear and latching onto a military assault vehicle so you can storm a minimall on Sepulveda and apprehend a line cook at family restaurant.

ICE isn’t rounding up migrants at Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ meatpacking plants. They're provoking riots in Los Angeles. I wonder, is this provocation laying the groundwork for a pretext to declare martial law? And then I remember all those many tanks shipped to DC, the home of so many protests.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

Something else in common…the descendants are still told they don’t belong. We should be united ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

We'd be a lot better off if we dump the religions and accept this.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

On this day in 1965, the the US Supreme Court struck down a law banning birth control, and if you don't think the theocracy is going to take that right away from you, you probably have Fox News on in your kitchen as we speak.

Since the AG doesn't seem to be getting ethics guidance from her team these days, I wanted to make sure she has the rule in the Justice Manual in front of her, which expressly prohibits this.

Yesterday was a historic day in meme history. If you’re worried that no one captured all the memes and key tweets from Day 1 of the Trump-Musk Civil War, don’t worry—as ever, RETRO has you covered. Strap in, because this meme archive is huge—and it gets pretty wild and woolly. (Some of it R-rated.)
