What a disgrace.

ICE may have handed a suspect in the largest jewelry heist in American history a free pass by deporting him before he ever faced trial.

This is the result of Stephen Miller’s chaos. Reckless mismanagement that undermines public safety and makes a mockery of the justice system.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Can’t recommend this episode enough — two voices that are in my regular pod rotation, coring right into all the ways political discourse in the U.S. has gone so thoroughly off the rails. Informative? Probably. Cathartic? As all get-out
Today on Volts: I'm joined by the great @michaelhobbes.bsky.social to discuss "reactionary centrism," an intellectual tendency that's come to dominate US public life. You know the type: would never view themselves as conservative, yet finds voluntary pronoun use vastly more aggravating than fascism.
All about "reactionary centrism"

imagine the thousands and thousands of unbelievable horrors going on if we're just hearing about "regularly kidnapping legal residents, dropping them off in a different state, and telling them to deal with it"
From FB regarding Pizza Luce in Minnesota.

I like it when I can do something to help people displaced by ICE and then after I do that thing I get to eat a pizza.

We’re going to make sure they’re known throughout the land as heroes. We’re going to guarantee they win both the undying adoration of their communities and also elected office. Believe us when we say that their faces and names will be enshrined forevermore on monuments celebrating their bravery.

Every new story about what the government is doing in Minnesota makes my blood boil. Abolishing ICE is the absolute minimum that we can accept if we are to ever call ourselves a civilized nation again.

It really is just all kinds of bad folks. I wonder when Democrats in Congress will notice.

No reforming this.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

I find it necessary these days to affirm the obvious because the descent into fascism is mostly a continuous, not discrete, process so here it goes:

these are internal checkpoints by secret police for what is routine freedom of movement.
It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

I don't think it's a coincidence that all of this (worldwide) is happening when most of the people who lived through WWII have just died. We need to do a better job of keeping their memories and ideals alive.
