Went and saw Predator: Badlands with my 13yo son yesterday afternoon and we both loved it. Awesome sci-fi action with a great story with just the right amount of funny moments. Great job, @dantrachtenberg.bsky.social!

At this point, every single journalist needs to have a simple one-sheet of the major news events that Mike Johnson and his toadies claim to have not seen, or know nothing about.
Like, hand it to them. "Okay, here. Take your time. I can wait." Call their bluff, ffs. This is absurd.

Appreciate this coverage but it is hard to explain to people not in the Chicago area that THESE ARE NOT PROTESTS.
This is people coming out of their homes, doing anything in their power to try to stop their neighbors from being kidnapped.

She's a politician, running for Congress in Illinois. She attended a protest against ICE. ICE brutalized her, tear gassed her, body slammed her to the ground.
And now *she's* been arrested for 'hindering' ICE. She faces eight years in prison.
This is fascism.

I lost my job, the price of groceries is way up, my gardener was deported, and they canceled funding for the experimental cancer treatment that was my only chance to live another year. But at least my damn neighbor is afraid to wear a keffiyeh now.

Break the law, face the consequences. That goes for ICE agents who commit illegal acts outside of their official functions.

Yep, no government shutdown has ever affected SNAP before - they do not HAVE to do this. They are choosing to.
And yes, as someone who relies on SNAP to live - I still don't want the Dems to fold. I want the GOP to do their fucking jobs.

I wish they said explicitly that there's $5 billion in emergency reserves they're refusing to use instead they're happy to let people - mostly children, the disabled, and elderly, starve.

Just for the record, in 2020:
- Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey
- Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes
- Garland was an appeals court judge
- Monaco was in private practice in LA
There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise.

Probably worth noting that both Vance and Trump have been “joking” about murdering fishermen in these strikes.
The U.S. military has destroyed five boats it has alleged were ferrying drugs into the U.S., killing 27 people. No authority has publicly released the names of any of the dead. One family is believed to be the first to publicly say they believe a relative is among those who were killed.
