I’m fascinated by these persisting signs in offices and public spaces

Also if you willingly accept being impregnated by a white supremacist You don’t get a redemption arc

yes! this dude will back down to anyone who tells him to fuck himself! this is the only response worth having!

Now, then, forever

u would think this might be a good question for those “we interviewed regular americans in this typical diner…” pieces they love to run

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

imagine how fox would cover it if the biggest obama donor led a baby making cult

when I was unemployed a while back, I found/took a "creative writing job" from craigslist writing descriptions for this store's jewelry, they never proofread anything my favorite one was for a golden anklet that ended with "just like a court-ordered anklet, you can't leave home without it"

always the people and companies u suspect most

Rare power move of not being able to fall asleep followed by waking up early cool cool

Thank you, @aoc.bsky.social! That was me 60 years ago. That we even have to spend an ounce of energy debating survivors benefits with these fear-spewing fools is an insult.

I had an instant and overwhelming "come ON" reaction to this shit. Rolling my eyes and gesticulating like Luka Doncic contesting a foul call.

This is the second video of ICE agents shattering a window in the last week rather than have some patience. And in this case, they're allegedly detaining someone who already has asylum through his wife, with no reason given at all! www.borderreport.com/news/video-s...

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

Tag yourself I’m the good boy in the background

Increasingly difficult to see how blue states and cities can continue working with the feds in any capacity. We're getting into Fugitive Slave Law territory.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

““We need to treat antifa and BLM like terrorist organizations. We need to use the tools of the federal government, the FBI, the US Marshals—go after them like organized criminals and terrorists,” Kent said in a 2021 conversation with the podcaster Tim Pool about the group’s leaders.“

Good reporting here. Student paper gets what the bigs have missed. White House is actually threatening to defund all of bostons major hospitals www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Highly disturbing story about DOGE but this detail is particularly chilling www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Trump suggests stripping Harvard's 501(c)3 status as political retribution for standing up to him. It will not stop with Harvard, the goal is to do this to all civil society organizations that oppose him, including orgs like the ACLU. He's trying to destroy all political opposition.

1. I am raising the alarm: If you are a transgender adult, your care is under threat by President Trump. You should prepare for severe supply disruptions and policies that amount to potential bans. The latest CMS letter indicates an expansion to target adults. Subscribe to support my reporting.

really enjoying this bugged out jam right now (via the always on point label Crash Cymbals 💜). bandcamp: crashsymbols.bandcamp.com/track/the-de... www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QBv...

Another one shipped to Louisiana, implicitly to face a conservative judge instead of where the incident occurred in Logan Airport in Massachusetts

Jon Stewart admits folks here were right & he wasn't: "I did not think he would get this authoritarian this fast. I really didn't. I'm sorry. Who could have known? Maybe if someone out there had yelled at me on Bluesky about this, I would have known. But no one did. Except every day. In all caps."

The next step for Trump is to send a US citizen convicted of something like child murder and rape to CECOT in El Salvador. It'll set the precedent to send citizens there while neutralizing outrage over it because of the heinous nature of their crimes. Then it'll any felony and then protestors.

This from @anneapplebaum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

NEW @npr.org EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data from the NLRB and hid its tracks. It's possible that the data included sensitive info on unions, ongoing legal cases and corporate secrets. A must-read from @jennamclaughlin.bsky.social:

This is an admittedly good idea for a show when the stakes are lower. Unfortunately these people are emerging into a world of fascism. How much you wanna bet they won’t mention Musk’s Nazi salutes or the foreign torture prisons or the kids around the world dying from the destruction of USAID?

all I can hear now is that sample in moby’s porcelain

@darthbluesky.bsky.social speaking of potatoes darth what do you call this kind of fry that is too small to be a streak fry but bigger than a normal fry? (cheese cup for scale)

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

“Trump is illegally disappearing people. He is proposing abducting Americans. He must be removed from power. He no longer has authority.” And honestly that’s the weak version of what Democrats should be saying.

Of course she did. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/u...

lol -- JD Vance fumbles the college football national championship trophy during the White House event with Ohio State

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

this is an open threat to american citizens who dare to fight back against this administration's gross violations of basic civil rights

Great news everyone it's perfectly lawful to pretend to be ICE to trick COs into releasing a jailed individual into your custody brb buying a new tactical vest for completely lawful reasons apnews.com/article/nort...

On this day 29 years ago, the Steamed Hams skit aired on The Simpsons.
