At @wtevs.bsky.social's BASKETBALL FEELINGS, the Zesty KAT stuff took me right back to my own dumb childhood jock dreams and the ugly homophobia that’s seeping into ever corner of the current fascist moment—even the '24-25 Knicks. www.basketballfeelings.com/p/exits-some...
Exits: Something darker
Writer Robert Silverman on the Knicks, the authoritarian need of humiliation, outgrowing childhood fears, and Karl-Anthony Towns.

Certified Chris Hooks Classic, here. It is very detailed and humane in telling the story it tells, which concerns the damage that a small number of snitches, creeps, and dullards have done to this institution, but also about the long history and awful present of snitches/creeps/dullards doing that.

They aren’t deescalating anything. They’re claiming new extra-constitutional powers.

Quality posts and strong takes you can trust (doesn't hang out with pedos, rapists, and elite freaks—but I'm repeating myself).

That's the Robert Silverman Difference, folk's

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

we have reporting, per our sources, in here on what Trump’s intel community (yes Intel community) and federal law enforcement have been probing since last year, which led to this raid, and boy is it wild… I know we’ve come to expect this from this gang, but it’s basically Trump’s feds and spooks…

we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds
Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.”

This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker

Drawing down. Kidnapping with respect.
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

They used "anti-semitism" as a pretext to deport foreign-born students and chill free speech, and their deportation chief -- the one with the nonstandard Hugo Boss-style greatcoat -- was spouting anti-semitic insults at a US attorney

Citing fear of ICE, pregnant immigrants in Minnesota are

-skipping prenatal care
-requesting home births, even when not medically advised
-going w/o adequate food

Many are experiencing complications providers say can be stress-onset: diabetes, high blood pressure, and even water breaking early
Fear of ICE is keeping pregnant immigrants in Minnesota from critical care
Health care providers in Minnesota said pregnant patients are having more complications linked to stress. But fear of immigration agents is keeping them from prenatal care.

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: Kevin Warsh—expected to be Trump's Fed chair pick—is the son-in-law of Trump donor Ronald Lauder (billionaire Estée Lauder heir), who convinced Trump in 2018 of the need to annex Greenland (and then invested heavily there), and who benefits from the Ukraine rare-earth deal?
Trump Administration Prepares for Warsh Fed Chair Nomination
The Trump administration is preparing for the president to nominate Kevin Warsh to be the next Federal Reserve chair, according to people familiar with the matter.

There’s debate about talking to the press tonight. I’ve tried to explain that two things are happening on the ground. Offensive, observing ICE like what Will is doing, and defensive, helping vulnerable people. I am fine if offense talks to responsible press as long as they take precaution.

SCOOP: The Trump administration recently signed an agreement with Uganda to accept asylum-seekers deported from the U.S.

Being LGBTQ+ is punishable by death there. And yet, DHS is trying to send queer and trans people there (and to Iran).

Trump admin is trying to deport LGBTQ+ asylum-seekers to countries where they'd be killed, lawyers say
Attorneys say new transfer agreements and court tactics allow the U.S. to sidestep asylum rulings, risking removals to countries where LGBTQ people face imprisonment, torture, or execution.

Yes, Tim. Reason is saying MAGA is a fascist movement. You are confirming that thesis. Read the headline again. It's not that complicated.
