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

The extent to which global elites embody the “two dumb bitches saying ‘EXACTLY’ to each other” is truly astonishing. The greediest, most venal people forgiving each other’s sins to facilitate more of their own. Epistemic closure for rapists and shitheels.
JK Rowling's team invited Jeffery Epstein to the deathly hallows play and to a Harry potter dinner.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet.
But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed.
If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.

Despite the ongoing death and suffering in Gaza, it's fallen out of the news. So today, @thenation.com is devoting its full website to stories from Gaza, written by reporters who have been there. Very proud of the magazine today.

This is NOT a blaming statement. It's a request for reflection.
Consider if you were one of the folks who told others that "Abolish ICE" was an extremist position five to 8 years ago, and that the people who called to Abolish ICE are the same trying to warn about other impending catastrophes.

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today.
Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵

Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE
404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

This claim by Adam Schiff is simply false: the killings in our streets are not because of new ICE hires. The shooters of Miramar Martinez, Renee Good, and Alex Prett were all agents with 8+ years at DHS. We have to face it: there are longtime federal employees who will shoot civilians if allowed. 1/
There's no way that ICE agents with barely a month of training know how to use force, or when not to.
That’s how we get reckless killings in our streets.
