This regime is clearly itching to invoke the Insurrection Act against their political opposition and anyone speaking out against them. It's deeply pathetic, un-American, and unconstitutional.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Shameful @nytpolitics.bsky.social covering up reality in behalf of Trump, painting this barefaced attempt to deny voting rights "an aggressive push to catch and combat voter fraud" While the Daily Mail (!) tells the news straight: "It could cost 21.3 million people the right to vote."

"My cars are wildly unpopular right now! What is the one spokesperson I could pick to make them look even less cool?"

hi, cis folks! if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status. ~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care. that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵

VERY IMPORTANT to label this as what it is, The Police State Executive Order. it's not an exaggeration. This is the inner wiring of a police state.

The Trump administration helped bring back the Tate brothers (charged with rape and sexual trafficking), hosted Conor MacGregor (multiple allegations of sexual assault), and now invited Dom Lucre (horrific CSAM stuff) to the White House. These are the people they're celebrating and defending.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

During his first term Trump asked if the military could “beat the f*ck out” of protesters “Crack their skulls” Or “shoot them in the leg” He was told it’s unconstitutional But now-buoyed with a Supreme Court decision which gives him broad immunity He’s looking for a new way to get his wish

The Great Barrington Declaration, but for chickens. RFK Jr. is truly the stupidest motherfucker.

For those of you who missed an episode, here is what Grok said today: 1. USAID was investigating Starlink for giving Russian forces access to terminals in Ukraine;

Brilliant piece by writer/editor of Journal of the Plague Years Susan Zakin. journaloftheplagueyears.substack.com/p/elon-musks-bitch Elon Musk's Bitch: Flooding the zone with shit only works if you don't follow the money. The real story is Elon Musk’s highly profitable coup-within-a coup

If Trump Can Deport Mahmoud Khalil, Freedom of Speech Is Dead theintercept.com/2025/03/10/m...

@heatherchen.bsky.social Has the Spectator asked interim president Katrina Armstrong & SIPA dean Keren Yarhi-Milo for comment on the horrific arrest of SIPA graduate Mahmoud Khalil? They must condemn it. Columbia is compromised beyond repair if they do not.

Setting aside the incredibly dangerous and fascist aspect of this, is there actual evidence that Khalil was a “Hamas supporter”? Or is the standard for a green-card holder being sent to a secret location and possibly deported just “critical of Israel”?

My fear is that the Trump administration arrested Mahmoud Khalil to make an example out of him because they’re gambling Dems won’t put their jobs and lives on the line to protect a Palestinian.

Free Mahmoud Khalil

FREE MAHMOUD KHALIL!!!!!

SCOOP: FEMA's top lawyer was forced out yesterday after less than a week on the job—and sources tell me it was because of his unwillingness to write a memo providing legal cover for the agency's impoundment of $80 million from NYC migrant shelters. Full story:

it appears tom is attempting the age-old tactic of “posting through it”

This piece by Sheila Heti about 'A Course in Miracles' is the wildest thing I've ever read harpers.org/archive/2024...

I think the most alarming thing in America is how few people care. You can say they're ill informed, or not picking up the news, etc... but that's a choice. The angry right is really a minority, the rest of the citizens are vaguely angry but not pointed at anything. It is a sense of hopelessness.
