I'm not trying to argue the timeline. It's just holding fascists accountable is going to require more than anything I've seen from current leadership. South Korea and Brazil have better recent records than we have on stopping corrupt dictators.

That is a fair point but Merrick Garland was the wrong pick for AG.

*Biden claimed he’d hold everyone responsible. That part was plainly false.

And Biden claimed that he’d hold those responsible for Jan 6th accountable. Without committing to specifics, Jeffries is just performing.

Chicago doesn’t want you here, ICE, CBP, and Texas NG. The only people who want you here are those who get off on watching the fascist propaganda.

The amount of bad-faith punditry we've had to endure from Politico could fill an ocean.

The Chicago Sun-Times is a non-profit now! It took me a few attempts for it to sink it.

It comes included with my cell phone plan and yet I can't seem to cancel it anywhere on that bill.

Is Lower Decks the last great TNG episode? (excluding “All Good Things…” obviously)

Key Chung @keychung.bsky.social · 6d

The whole final battle is incredible. I love how the movie keeps a tight lid on the spectacle until the last act.

ICE says I cause assaults on ICE by reciting facts about ICE’s recent shooting but refuses to link to the thread. Only posting a picture. ICE lies and ICE hides. You can read the facts for yourselves

ICE is industrialized thuggery. And their masked agents are the lowest form of human. #abolishICE

A lot of liberals on my feed overestimating the extent to which trump and the GOP will be blamed for all their failures. The media ecosystem GOP voters exist within depends on putting all responsibility for their misery onto liberals.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post, and the Cost of Speaking Out

As Saudi Arabia hosts comedians and courts gamers, the silenced voice of Jamal Khashoggi still echoes.

Dems are taught to run away from anything resembling a stance on an issue as soon as the news cycle becomes disadvantageous to them. Mamdani has the courage of his convictions, so he can embrace his beliefs while responding to the news with a genuine response that serves his cause politically.

Untrained padawan foisted upon adult badass. All the rumors about STARFIGHTER make it sound very much like MANDALORIAN. 🤨

I love TNC and I want to finish this but I struggle with getting through any EK content these days. He gives intellectual cover to centrist Dems. I'm not sure what other value he provides.

This is inspirational

It reminds me of one of those incredible chase sequences in a Chaplin or Keaton film--he comes close to being grabbed at least five times!

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

One thing that I tthink might become more obvious with time is how much time trump spends going after ex-loyalists, who were pushed too far or failed him. When you spend all your time going after enemies and policing your own failures of leadership, there's not much room or time for anything else.

I didn’t think it was possible, but trump has provided pretty much the only context for me to be on Jim Comey and John Bolton’s side.

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 14d

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.
