It’s time for a state to say, “Fuck you” and impound everything the federal government has in the state until Trump releases the funding it was budgeted by law. Take buildings and vehicles. Seize accounts. Whatever it takes. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/n...

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

Some weird shit

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

Really important that we don't become numb to the President designating unspecified groups as terrorists who he can just kill without any process and without much evidence that the allegations against the unknown people are even actually true.

What could go wrong?

You’ll notice that new developments in generative AI are always accompanied by new ways of depicting women without their consent—undermining their autonomy and harassing them—almost like it’s a pillar of the technology and its evolution

"Is that the largest you have?"

Something to watch: A federal court order has, for years, banned the New Orleans sheriff from helping ICE.

Louisiana Republicans are now trying to lift that order to force NoLa to comply.

The outgoing sheriff fought that. The incoming sheriff told Bolts she'd be fine with the order lifting.

Reminder: the House recess isn't because of the budget, the House adjourned before the shutdown because the GOP doesn't want to hold a vote to release government files on a pedophile because everyone knows those files implicate Trump. Republicans are doing this to protect their pedophile President.

He's so good, which is why MAGA feels so threatened by him.

Read this article/thread, and then think about how Servile Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Adelita Grijalva, because he's protecting Trump & his obvious involvement in the following crimes:

In the past 24 hours:

➡️ Politico revealed hundreds of antisemitic & bigoted messages b/n young Republican leaders;

➡️ A swastika was found in a Republican House office; and

➡️ Trump's Border Patrol posted a reel with an antisemitic slur.

When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

I'd say "WHEN WHITE FOLKS STOP INTENTIONALLY USING RACE TO DECREASE BLACK VOTING POWER" but he thinks white people doing that is cool.

My latest, on a man who supported the war in Afghanistan, came to the U.S. legally, applied for asylum, had two kids, became a bookkeeper, bought an American flag bumper sticker.

Then ICE arrested him. If he's deported, he expects the Taliban to kill him.

It's somehow both wildly underreported and just out in the open that the vice president is either a neo-Nazi or, at a bare minimum, a neo-Nazi fellow traveler.

I think the idea of "cancel culture" persists mainly because it conveniently is some outside force acting on someone rather than them torching their reputation all on their own
