WTAF?! Abolish ICE and hold these Nazis accountable for their brutality. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just a few miles from my home, in Redmond, WA, ICE detained folks yesterday. One of the women questioned was Indigenous actor Elaine Miles, known for her role in "Northern Exposure." ICE called her tribal ID ‘fake’. WTF! She's NATIVE AMERICAN you fuck'n idiots!

To understand as to why Latinos for Trump ignored Black people and our warning about him leading up to the 2024 election, this sister nails it. And, to be clear, not all Latinos feel this way, but the anti-Blackness is what got us where we are today.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Why Republicans in Congress Hate Trump’s Health Care Plan
The House GOP revolted after details of the plan leaked over the weekend. Now its status is unclear.

25 November 1942 | A transport of some 2,000 Jewish men, women, and children deported from the ghetto in Grodno arrived at #Auschwitz.
After the arrival selection, 305 men and 128 women were registered in the camp. The remaining Jews, probably 1,567 people, were murdered in gas chambers.

An excellent discussion with @davidkurtz.bsky.social of the lawless Trump regime’s absolute bungling of his vindictive prosecutions, and Hegseth’s half baked attempt to court martial Senator Mark Kelly. As they said, we clearly need a post-Watergate style course correction in our legal system.
On this pod:
-why restoring rule of law after Trump will be so challenging
-the need for a post-Trump reckoning that rivals what happened after abuses of Vietnam/Watergate
-why Trump's effort to get revenge on Sen Mark Kelly is so deeply corrupt
@davidkurtz.bsky.social is very good throughout:

@davidkurtz.bsky.social is very good throughout:
Trump's prosecutions of Comey and Letitia James fell apart precisely because he ousted career prosecutors who insisted on following facts and law. His installation of a pliant stooge is what blew up in his face.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Excellent discussion today with @amandamarcotte.bsky.social on the media waking up to Trump’s weaknesses. The media and elites need to read the tea leaves more closely. The people are done with fascist ICE raids on our cities and towns, and the rank corruption of the regime and corporate stooges.

Thanks for sharing @gregsargent.bsky.social. Excellent article @aselrod.bsky.social. Carlson’s and Fuentes’ sick comments underscore how and why they and their followers are radioactive to women. Megyn Kelly’s indefensible comments about young girls for clicks and views are disgusting.
In this piece, @aselrod.bsky.social reminds us that Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson are trafficking in the vilest forms of male supremacy and are flourishing as huge stars on the right, so there's clearly a huge following for that sort of depravity:
Megyn Kelly claimed Epstein was into “the barely legal type,” referring to 15 year-olds.
So I wrote about how her comments highlight the ways both purity culture and rape culture sexualize young girls and make male desire their responsibility.
