“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”
James Baldwin
Jamiroquai is right. We’re living in virtual insanity. Also, actual insanity.
I keep hearing the same argument from MAGA:
"What about all the citizens murdered by illegals".
Then get a warrant and go arrest them!
Don't patrol the streets terrorizing everyone, arresting children at schools and US citizens because you don't know who to arrest. See the difference?
Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.
Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.
And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.
The system is rigged.
"There is nobody more American than American Indians! We are America, how can you possibly target Native Americans? It's legally impossible!" -Chase Iron Eyes tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social about four Oglala Sioux Tribal members being taken by ICE...
Three are now missing . LIVE NOW ⬇️
This dude is intense and correct
I just saw someone - who I respect! - suggesting it was impossible for Trump to cancel the midterms. It prompted this!
We are *well beyond* the technically and legally possible on so many fronts. We need to realize it.
A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"
My latest for Slate
People Magazine has been clear eyed about the fascism that's happening in America for years now.
Thank you, Jesse Welles. We absolutely need the artists and the musicians to speak truth to power. More protest songs!
This is the ninth shooting by ICE since September (I did not know that). All of them were into vehicles.
She had stuffed animals in her glove box.
BBC is reporting that the same ICE officer who murdered Renee Good was involved in another violent incident in June.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
A 6-year-old just lost his mother. A woman was shot in the face in front of her wife.
The swift, lockstep attempt to dehumanize and villainize Renee Nicole Good might be the most depraved thing we've seen yet from these ghouls and their supporters. These people are utterly fucking dead inside.
Fox Producer: Jesse Watters would like to invite you on his show
AOC: He has sexualized and harassed me on his show.
FP: That’s not true
AOC: He accused me of wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller. So why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman.
Fascism distilled
AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.
This is a test for Democrats right now.
If you really want to grab the mantle of leadership and emerge as a frontrunner, you have to speak out forcefully and against ICE...
Right now.
No centrist mealy-mouthed bullshit.
I think it's pretty clear that they want to provoke confrontation, and they want ICE agents to feel tense, frightened, and threatened—antagonistic to the public, grateful and loyal to the administration that "protects" them. They want excuses for violence, and a militia eager to deploy it.
The constitutional remedy for a president who launches a war of acquisition against an ally is impeachment, removal, disqualification, and ultimately a criminal trial. And the same is true for every member of his cabinet involved in such an illegal undertaking.
Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."
America now has 935 billionaires with $8.1 trillion in collective wealth — a 20% increase from 2024.
Meanwhile, the bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 935 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
Once upon a time, 77 million bigoted and ignorant Americans voted to destabilize the entire world.
DOORDASH: imagine a $12 sandwich
ME: oh dang that sounds so good
DOORDASH: now imagine that it could be yours for just $37
Middle-class families are struggling to afford insurance in southwest Florida. Realtors say a wave of foreclosures could be coming. n.pr/4pi5rJH
One thing folks should stop doing based on what we’ve seen in Epstein’s emails so far is assuming any of these elite white fuckers in big positions of power are playing 5D chess.
These are purely self-interested and in most instances not very smart.
E.g., I just saw someone suggest that Thiel
The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon.
77 million people voted for this.
Just sheer wag the dog.
The Epstein files are not going away.
There are so many pedophilia and sexual assault stories within MAGA and the GOP that it's tough to keep track of all of them.
