Trump is going to blame the judge for what happens in the Comey case. Whether the indictments are thrown out on pre-trial motions, or the jury acquits, Trump is gonna blame the judge.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

The FBI releasing photos and videos of their suspect for killing Kirk, but no name, would indicate to me that facial recognition still isn't proving terribly helpful. Similar to when Luigi Mangione was at large.

i have to keep reminding people: bsky corp are the right-wingers. they're coiners, rationalists and neoreactionaries. they tried seeding the place with their guys then the queer shitposters outposted them all. they fucking hate their userbase.
the post bree got suspended for was called out in a right-wing publication. there was nothing bad about it or even borderline. bluesky got fucking suckered by bad-faith bullshit. they were entirely unprepared for this event and their only reaction to it has been actions between stupid and dangerous.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
