When all of this is finally over, I hope the people who ordered and carried out these extrajudicial assassinations are given the due process they don't believe in before they're punished for murder.

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.

Missed where you said you used Bluesky on your iPhone. Not same, but I access BS via web on laptop w/ free Windscribe VPN addon.

Get on VPN, set a non-MS location, & go to Bluesky. Once past location check, turn off VPN & post away. Just don't reload.

Not sure about mobile devices using BS app.

Just to be clear, I wouldn't care except that he's a racist targeting non-whites and a bigot targeting non-Christians.

“white people who claim they’re being persecuted” is pretty much the entire GOP brand (gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...)

Trump Considers Overhaul of Refugee System That Would Favor White People
The proposals would transform a program aimed at helping the most vulnerable people in the world into one that gives preference to mostly white people who say they are being persecuted.

This is good: Rep Eric Swalwell tells me House Dems are now discussing making an end to mask-wearing a precondition for ICE funding.

"When we are in the majority, the masks are coming off," he says.

This is the next frontier in anti-Trump resistance.

Excellent distillation of the phenomenon: "The contradiction resolves . . . if you understand that tradwives are submitting to traditional patriarchal norms in order to reap the entitlements of whiteness. Slaveholding women in the antebellum South . . . received sweeping power over Black people."

I seem to recall that it was the biggest 1st Amendment attack in American history when the Biden admin alerted social media companies to some content and said "hey does this violate your policies?" Will Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and (lol) CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss call this out?

Tweet from Pam Bondi:

Today following outreach from
@thejusticedept
, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target
@ICEgov
agents in Chicago.

The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

I expect that Justice Jackson is going to set the record straight with references to congressional hearings and whatnot from 1868 or whenthefuckever, not that it will matter.

The whole case is absurd. White people are ridiculous.

If you're going to a No Kings protest this Saturday (as why would you not?), I have a little sermon to put in your pocket and take along.

Text is Luke 18:1-8, Jesus' story about the little old lady who bullies a rotten judge into giving her justice: lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu/texts/?y=384...

White KKK hood;
Confederate Soldier's hat with Rebel flag on it;
Nazi officer's hat; and
MAGA ball cap

With text that says "Same shit, different hat"
