This is the way.
F*ck ICE.
The entire anti wokeness nonsense of the past decade was about making this kind of gutter racism broadly acceptable again
bsky.app/profile/adam...Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president

It really says something about our national descent that the President of the United States and the most damaged, onanistic submoron in the country are now, somehow, the same exact person.
Trump at National Prayer Breakfast: "They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible ... The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did"
So weird how this keeps happening.
www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963.
The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"
Medgar Evers’ killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist - Mississippi Today
Among anticipated changes to a new visitor brochure for the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument is no longer using "racist" to describe the killer of the civil rights leader.
Very much worth watching Robert Kagan with Tim Miller. No happy talk, but important and bracing talk: Trump is going to do everything he can to hold onto his near monopoly on power. Anything to stall or stop a Democratic Congress in 2027. Who’s going to stop him?

Robert Kagan and Marianne Williamson: Slipping Into Dictatorship
Donald Trump is going to do everything he can to hold onto his near monopoly on power after the midterms.
You literally JUST voted with MAGAs in favor of Trump’s budget. Had you and the 20 other Dems who betrayed working people voted with the Democratic Party, Trump’s bill would have failed.
No matter how much you try to spin it, your votes don’t lie. You’re pro Trump you shameful hypocrite.
Every Republican administration since Reagan has weakened the dollar and killed manufacturing jobs. Trump is no exception.
No matter how Secretary Bessent tries to spin it, the numbers don't lie.
This is the reality and truth. The goal is to abolish freedom of speech, the free press, the Constitution and democracy, and to run the country as Putin and other authoritarian governments are run...with a regime that penalizes and punishes those who speak up.

First Lady Face-Off: Michelle Obama 2020 Netflix Doc Surges On ‘Melania’ Opening Weekend
Michelle Obama's documentary Becoming, on Netflix, attracted a surge in interest as Melania Trump's own documentary opened in theaters.
Lawyer for Epstein survivors: I'm not sure if it's intentional or it's incompetence, but what is very clear is that the DOJ has disregarded the wellbeing of the survivors. One of my clients was named 538 times in the latest release. It is unacceptable.

Another batch of Trump's judicial nominees refused in their confirmation hearings today to publicly acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election, which annoyed Sen. Richard Blumenthal enough for him to call them "monkeys" and "puppets"
🧐
Federal Judges have a very real and well-established reason to fear doxing and violence and yet I doubt anyone thinks it would be acceptable for them to preside from the bench in a hood.
Trump says he worries about "nuclear" as the world's biggest problem, but he's letting the last major arms treaty - one even the Russians want - lapse.
www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
The End of the Nuclear-Arms-Control Era
The last significant treaty is about to expire, and Trump isn’t putting anything in its place.
And unless it's a cost-free government ID, it's a POLL TAX. If you have to pay the government for a document that you must have to vote, that is a POLL TAX.
There are literally emails between Epstein and gargantuan GOP donor Peter Thiel like "as discussed we shud distroy society" and yet the right wing propaganda machine is smearing Lutheran soccer moms as being on Soros's payroll.
The Constitution delegates the power to conduct elections to the states. This would require an amendment. It would expose voter data to the risk of one hack instead of 50.

Trump, in an Escalation, Calls for Republicans to ‘Nationalize’ Elections
[Not loaded yet]
1. Trump certainly wants to fully rig elections.
2. He has no actual plausible plan to do so.
3. We should absolutely take the threat very seriously and actively do what's possible to protect elections and democracy.
4. What's actually likely is success or failure at the margins; every bit counts.
The last time he started talking like this, his allies minimized the risks and we ended up with January 6. This time we must take him literally and seriously. These comments are a five-alarm fire for democracy. In a functioning republic, he would be impeached and removed from office today.
“The idea that Trump is ordering ICE to soften up — whether at protests or in yanking people out of their homes or by rearranging the hierarchy — is hard to believe, and in fact, should not be believed.”

Elon Musk’s flagship artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, continues to generate sexualized images of people even when users explicitly warn that the subjects do not consent, Reuters has found.
Any ideas about which sheik may have "given" his virgin daughter to Trump in 2001 or 2002?
bsky.app/profile/geun...Our republican representatives and senators have abnormally become silent and pliant normalizing the economic, civil and literal rape of our country by trump and his bottom feeding family and sycophants. Craven cowardly politicians.
I gave a campus talk last night on Trump's first 100 days for the WUD Society & Politics group. A student asked me if I thought that, at some point, we might start to describe the US as a competitive authoritarian regime. I said that we were already there, it's just that most folks haven't noticed:

I was a White House ethics lawyer.
I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.
I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.
Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.
And now a message from the convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who leads the Republican Party
"The Kennedy Center has been a living memorial for 55 years to President Kennedy, to the arts, and it's been nonpartisan. And in just one short year, (Trump) has destroyed all of that," said former Kennedy Center board member Barbara Comstock.

This is now without question the biggest politico-financial scandal in United States history. Teapot Dome was trivial in comparison.
I was a little late to catch up with this WSJ kleptocracy story. We already knew Sheikh Tahnoon dropped $2b on World Liberty Financial to get Trump to let UAE import advanced chips. Now we learn Tahnoon also purchased 49 percent of World Liberty Financial.

‘Spy Sheikh’ Bought Secret Stake in Trump Company
$500 million investment for 49% of World Liberty came months before U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.
This needs to be at the top of every story about the ICE body-cam thing. They already have body cameras.
think of all the college students who were disciplined or expelled for protesting genocide
Liam, 5, has been freed, but four other students from his school district remain detained in Texas. Two boys from his elementary school were taken Thurs
“This isn’t something we are prepared or trained for. We’ve dedicated our lives to protecting + educating children,” school superintendent told me
ICE detains two more students from Liam Ramos’s school, officials say
The brothers’ mother was taken by ICE and Minnesota educators were forced to bring the children to her
These are government employees. So our tax dollars are funding ICE to flash white supremacist cards at vulnerable POC as an intimidation tactic. Who is giving this direction?
There’s something deeply sinister happening in this country right now, and I don’t think we can take three more years.
A few favorite lines: "I’ve had root canals that were more entertaining." "As first lady, Hillary Clinton tried to fix the healthcare system; Melania got stationery printed." "No pretty dress can disguise an ugly soul."
Some brave journalists go to war zones and get shot at. I went to the Melania movie, and would probably opt for being shot at over having to sit through it again

Packaging a $75 million bribe from Jeff Bezos as a vapid, content-challenged biopic.
Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.
