every time a GDT movie comes out I want to write a piece called Guillermo del Toro Is Mexican, a thing people seem to treat as incidental to his work but is in fact central to his Whole Deal

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

It’s not how they would have put it but certain pundits liked Adams because they think racism is an effective political strategy and as a black man they figured he could get away with it easier. Anyway i’m sure his poll numbers are great, looking forward to his next term bsky.app/profile/josh...

Eric Adams, endorsing Cuomo: "New York can't be Europe, folks ... Those Islamic extremisms that are burning churches in Nigeria, that are destroying communities in Germany, that have taken over the logical thinkings. And that's what I'm fighting for."

A civil attorney who Trump enthusiast Lindsey Halligan brought in to prosecute the Letitia James case screwed up his initial appearance and the court had to give him step-by-step instructions about how to save a PDF.

In Gary, Indiana this morning—

Community members have gathered in protest of ongoing ICE flights.

This small, sleepy airport is where many captives from the Chicago area detention center are transported (frequently in the middle of the night) as the next step in the deportation pipeline.

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone.

New York has her back.

Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

ICE fired shots again, hitting a civilian and a U.S. marshal. DHS, once again, is claiming the man rammed ICE with his car. Let’s see how long before that version of events unravels. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

As a private citizen, Trump claimed he was entitled to money from the U.S. government.

Now as president, he could authorize a taxpayer-funded payout to himself, possibly over $100 million, with no obligation to disclose it if structured as a settlement.

Trump has claimed millions from the government. He has power to order payment.

President has claimed he was damaged by investigations and wants compensation. “It sort of looks bad. I’m suing myself,” he acknowledged.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation wrote in a letter that Trump's proposed 90,000-square-foot addition would "overwhelm the White House itself — it is 55,000 square feet — and may also permanently disrupt the carefully balanced classical design of the White House." https://cnn.it/43vQs6i

I feel like George Santos exemplifies a lot of what’s broken in the “justice” system. He was a corrupt politician, he briefly experienced the horrors of inhumane prison conditions, then the corrupt president moved to yank him out—and his victims received none of what they were owed in the process

This is horrifying, but I’m glad the Wikipedians are safe. It could have been far worse, given that the MAGA fascists have been trying to incite violence against Wikipedia editors, and trumpists are defenders of pedophiles like the gunman. gothamist.com/news/gunman-...

The unidentified man was taken to a hospital for evaluation.
