It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Same. This year it was particularly galling to have to spend 75 minutes on the conflict of interest portion. They really really want to make sure we know not to accept anything worth more than $50. Meanwhile, half of the corrupt Trump administration is raking in millions in bribes & grift. 🤬

At a small pro-Trump demonstration in Amesbury, MA this weekend, a man stands to the right of the demonstrators with a sign saying, “Jeffrey Epstein fan club.” An arrow points to them.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

The party of “family values” is attacking our kids.

Graphic with the text: 10 TRUMP ATTACKS ON KIDS
1. Made the largest SNAP (food stamps) cuts in history.
2. Limits school lunch for kids by imposing new red tape.
3. Reduces after-school and summer programs for poor kids by requiring extra paperwork.
4. Slashes the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which provides health care for half of all kids.
5. Rips health care away by making it harder for parents to cover their kids through the Affordable Care Act.
6. Takes money away from public schools, meaning larger class sizes and fewer teachers per student.
7. Guts Head Start, which provides early childhood education, health, nutrition, and other services to
low-income children.
8. Undermines public health and vaccines.
9. Freezes funds used to train teachers.
10. Shuts down parts of the Office of Civil Rights, which helps kids who get discriminated against in school.

I’ve made a promise to myself that this year I’m leaving 30 minutes after the end of the day, no matter what. I also told a bunch of coworkers so they can make sure I’m doing it.

You touch on it here, but the entire system is also propped up by our free labor. Last year I worked HUNDREDS of unpaid hours because my workload was so huge. I was told to “work smarter not harder.” So condescending! I’ve been doing this job successfully for over 20 years! 😡

I was thinking Monty Python, but realized there are probably lots of people your age who haven’t seen that. So I’m going to guess The Simpsons.

Oof. This thread. 😳

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · Aug 7

Understand that Trump voters will see every House seat Trump steals via gerrymandering as a legitimate MAGA gain, and every House seat Republicans *lose* through gerrymandering as "stolen."

The effect of this is that there's a good chance Trump orders Mike Johnson to not accept the midterm results.

I’m sensing a pattern. 🤔

I read an article about that (unless there have been multiple white supremecists coming to create a “training compound” in Maine). I thought he ended up leaving the state?

Donald Trump is a sadistic fuck. This is shocking but not surprising. TW: graphic description of sexual violence on a child.

Where are the voices of the girls Epstein and Trump abused? Kate Manne transcribed Katie Johnson’s (a pseudonym) account of how Trump allegedly raped her at Epstein’s home in 1994. She was 13 and wore a blonde wig that Trump allegedly said made her look like Ivana, who was 13yo at the time.
