Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Trump has a long history of demonizing youth, especially minority children, going back to the furor surrounding a group of Black and Latino boys who were wrongly accused of raping a white woman jogger in New York’s Central Park in 1989.

Oh? Members of Congress are “growing concerned” after the US military has murdered 27 foreign civilians in international waters at the direction of the President?

This administration’s policy of serial open murders on the high seas is starting to make some members of Congress mildly uncomfortable. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Members of Congress growing concerned over lack of information from administration about Venezuela strikes, sources say

Republicans and Democrats say the administration is failing to share basic information with Congress about the intelligence, rationale and goals of its war on drug trafficking.

Radley Balko @radleybalko.bsky.social · 10h

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

If I were a Mainer, and I'm not a Mainer, and the Senate election were today, I'd vote for Graham Platner to take on Susan Collins. Simply put, I can't think of a metric by which Janet Mills would be better against Collins, better for Maine, or better for the Democratic Party than Platner. THREAD.
