The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

If I was conspiracy-minded, I'd note that @safety.bsky.app banned Sarah Kendzior, one of the best writers on Epstein and the corruption surrounding him, right before the Times ran their story today, and she's still inexplicably banned. I don't think it's an actual conspiracy, but it's shitty anyway.

Hey @micahloewinger.bsky.social and @onthemedia.bsky.social -- maybe Bluesky suspending journalists would make a good midweek pod topic?

I oppose it in the sense that I'm opposed to incarceration, but as long as we have a system built around prisons, masked terrorists belong there.
As much as I find common cause with my more radical friends I (reluctantly) oppose the hardline proposals to summarily incarcerate every ICE agent. I urge everyone to consider the centrist compromise of abolishing ICE
Veteran ICE officials @nickmiroff.bsky.social spoke with view the use of masks as an unquestionably negative development. But it’s not going away anytime soon, Miroff reports: https://theatln.tc/acMM0axK

I absolutely get more pissed at left-wing antisemitism than right-wing, because I expect people on the right to be antisemitic (it's core to the rest of their values). It's got no fucking place from anyone who uses the term "progressive."

Meanwhile, Adam Schiff and others who get a fuckton of AIPAC money voted against it. This is just straight-up antisemitism implying that Jews are controlling the government, and has no place from "progressives."

AIPAC sucks, supports genocide, and is a hub for Christian Zionists as much as anyone. *And* at the same time:
When you vaguepost like this about issues unrelated to Israel suggesting an org associated with Judaism is to blame, you are at least FLIRTING with antisemitic conspiracy theory.
