Money can buy happiness. If Elon Musk built a rocket and shot himself into the fucking sun that would generate massive happiness.
it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

Oh look, exactly what we said was going to happen when Schumer caved on the shutdown
The way people quote posted me like I am stupid as fuck when I said the Dems were fucking us with their 2 week extension
They’re screaming “fuck ice” at wrestling matches and Chuck Schumer managed to use this leverage to negotiate against himself until the demand is “ here’s a bunch more money, can you guys please promise to not wear masks unless you really need to?”
Brody King has the AEW crowd chanting FUCK ICE loud and proud on primetime cable television. Put every belt on him.
So there was just a very loud and sustained "Fuck ICE" chant during a pro wrestling show on live primetime television, if you wanna get a sense of the vibe shift.
(One of the wrestlers, Brody King, is an outspoken prigressive and wore an "Abolish ICE" shirt at a Mexico show in June.)
Here’s the worst part about my name being in the Epstein Files: He didn’t even email his friend MY article. He emailed an aggregation of my article with my name in it. It's one thing to be the world's most evil pedophile, but at least read primary source materials when doing non-pedophile stuff.
OMG. He literally went with "they were no angels" which is the mocking phrase people use to point out how authorities try to minimize their law enforcement executions. And he's using it earnestly because he doesn't realize how it's actually used.
Trump on Alex Pretti and Renee Good: "He was not an angel and she was not an angel. You know, you look at some tapes."
Look, I enjoy Space Ghost Coast to Coast as much as the next guy. More, even. But it’s bad when an interview with the President of the United States of America sounds indistinguishable from a Space Ghost segment.
Trump: I hate even talking about ICE. 2 people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity.
Host: But it was 2 Americans who died—
Trump: We have the smallest trucks. We've been very tough on the waters
Host: The waters?
Trump: The waters where we knock out boats
Kiddies who made it out of the ICE dungeon report sighting a schoolmate. Before this, the school district had no information on their whereabouts. The family has now been connected with a lawyer.
Youngsters who escape a govt dungeon are the only way to track abducted children? This is fine!
The two children who returned to MN today say they saw one of their Valley View schoolmates at a detention center in TX. This is a child whose family was last in contact with the school on January 9. No one has known where they were until now.

Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

I did not have "America's most effective anti-regime governor is a woke CIA agent" on my 2026 bingo card but here we are
NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.
This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.
Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.
Virginia’s New Governor Ends ICE Program. Local Contracts Remain, For Now. - Bolts
Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

‘It’s sick’: Trump administration uses mascot called ‘Coalie’ to push dirtiest fossil fuel
Cartoon lump of coal with giant eyes was spotlighted by US interior secretary in X post saying: ‘Mine, Baby, Mine!’
Donald Trump’s administration has turned to an unusual weapon in its attempt to resurrect coal mining – a cartoon lump of coal, complete with giant eyes and yellow mining garb, called ‘Coalie.’
The administration’s new mascot, kitted out with a helmet, boots and gloves, was introduced in a seemingly artificial intelligence-generated picture posted online by Doug Burgum, Trump’s interior secretary. “Mine, Baby, Mine!” Burgum wrote on X, adding that Coalie will act as a “spokesperson” for Trump’s “American Energy Dominance Agenda.” Continue reading...

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

I know this seems like a really trivial detail to get stuck on but this degree of escalation of force combined with zero warning is something I've never seen. For that to get unleashed on normies just moving along in broad daylight? Christ.
Witnesses described that arching trajectory, I watched a video that also showed a similar arc, then I personally witnessed the arc about 2 hours later at the same site. They did this to kids.
As of yesterday there is an injunction that stops the use of tear gas etc (except when a fed thinks they're in imminent harm etc). Even if the injunction is followed, this merits an investigation. It's outrageous that they shot tear gas like this at anyone, let alone a family-friendly march
I also can't speak to what's being launched in the video but the munitions launched over me were definitely tear gas.
Tear gas (which should not be used on children) (which was not justified in use against any of those people) (which should be illegal in general) should be skipped on the ground. They're launching it into the air.
www.theverge.com/policy/87278...I can't speak to whether it is actually bortac and whether it is actually mortar launchers but I mentioned in my piece yesterday that I had witnessed tear gas being launched in the air in an arc over people's heads. This video I found on IG shows what I described
Believe all these guys when they act like they’re in a war against America. They think they are.

@tressiemcphd.bsky.social about how the federal government is weaponizing private data. Privacy has become a life-and-death issue, and I have a plan to rein the government in. Thread:

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

Good example of what an institution the size of WaPo can do that is very difficult to replace. Local, worker-owned publications & nonprofits do excellent accountability work but I don’t imagine any could set up an ME bureau, with staff across the region, logistics, legal and security support, etc
