A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

Six out of eight of the largest mass-movement protests in US history have happened since 2017. You wouldn't know this from most media reporting, and you sure af wouldn't know this from the way either major party has reacted.

I think the only exception will be if Americans start doing what they did in Taiwan, ie, get in the streets and *stay* in the streets, for days, until it simply can't be ignored. I wish I thought Americans were that engaged & prepared.

Right — “Bloody Sunday” in 1965 in Selma, but ALSO ABC interrupting ‘Judgment at Nuremberg’ to show Bloody Sunday to the nation

Senator Warren, can the blue states pull together and hire this team?

Seems clear we need our own CDC.

Soft succession sounds like an insurance policy against future chaos.

After Trump got his Covid shot, he chose to fire the scientists protecting the rest of us from diseases.

So not for cause, or to address fraud, waste & abuse.

For partisan political pain.

Extremely bad news if true (and unlikely this reporter would run with it if not). The MMWR has been the earliest warning bell for outbreaks since it announced the first US cases, in 1981, of what was later identified as AIDS.

This will be a grievous shock to what remains of US public health.

SEN. @gallego.senate.gov on the terrible Milei rock concert: “Millions of Americans are about to lose their health care and have their insurance premiums double, but Trump & Republicans are giving this idiot $20 BILLION. Good job. Way to make America First, guys.”

HE SAID IT MIGHT BE GRETA THUNBURG. PETER THEIL SAID THAT THE ANTICHRIST MIGHT BE GRETA THUNBURG

Hate to say it, but that’s a bit of a relief.

The more ICE antagonizes local police departments, the safer we are.

head of Chicago PD says feds gasses his officers www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMDrmH1d/

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

Blue States need to pursue soft succession and pool their resources to fund our own CDC.

Enough of this bullshit.

RIFed:

OSSAM - Office of Safety, Security, and Asset Management

Let this sink in. They are getting rid of federal employees tasked w/ protecting sensitive public health data - that we would NOT want foreign entities to get access to.

(Foreign entities - China, etc. But can we add Vought🤮💩 too?)

We need a blue state funded CDC. Enough with this bullshit.

Q: How many layoffs have you authorized?

TRUMP: It'll be a lot. And it'll be Democrat-oriented.

Horrifically creepy and emblematic of this rape-coded administration, but also a govt employee staying at the fuckin ritz on a business trip shows you how much the DC world has changed since the DOJ muffin scandal of 2011.

everything is on fire these days, sure, but how is it that 50% of all news stories are not about how I just spent $20 on a bag of store brand coffee at fucking costco

No money flowing to USAID and hardly any to PEPFAR despite their duly enacted funding; well north of twenty billion dollars being deployed for other weird hair autocrats. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Truly a man of peace www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Just in case anyone is still holding on out of nostalgia for what it used to be.
