He was tucking in his shirt, y’all. Leave him be.
apnews.com/article/radi... “The nest had a radiation level 10 times what is allowed by federal regulations, officials said. The workers sprayed the nest with insect killer, removed it and disposed of it as radioactive waste. No wasps were found, officials said.” Cool, cool, cool.
“But if this were taking place in any other country, Europe, South America, Asia — it doesn’t matter where. If it were happening in any other country, we would immediately clock that. What we’re witnessing is a disappearance program by an unaccountable secret police.” /2

People born on U.S. military bases overseas being stripped of their citizenship and deported... Jermaine Thomas was born on a U.S. base in Germany where his dad was deployed in 1986. Last week he was deported to Jamaica Now Thomas has no citizenship, according to court documents
Say louder for the seats in the back. JFC were so stupid.
Five things to remember about war:
Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?
Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts: 1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.
Hahahaha!!!!
apnews.com/article/immi... No one asked for this and it is not necessary. Abbott wants to instigate violence or scare people from exercising their 1st Amendment rights. Disgusting. #FixTheGrid
Hi, I’m God. I’m going to make it rain on his big stupid parade. #NoKings
Where’s the lie?
We’re with you, Los Angeles!
This has been the plan all along. Push people to fight back against Trump’s unlawful actions, invoke the Insurrection Act to bypass Posse Comitatus to use the military against civilians and his political enemies. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...
Ghouls. The GOP/MAGA are all fucking ghouls.

Trump Always Chickens Out. We need more reporters like CNBC’s Megan Cassella @megancnbc.bsky.social.
If this reporter goads Trump into destroying the American consumer market and nosediving his popularity (and therefore the viability of the American fascist project) they may be one of the greatest heroes in world history.
It’s the EV version of “infrastructure week” or “I’ll release my plan in two weeks.”
I've just joined BlueSky and need help from friends to gather followers. So @uvalaw.bsky.social, and other faculty and students, please share/follow. I write about discrimination law and its philosophical foundations and about bribery and corruption. Am interested in all things law and philosophy.
JFC. Trump is the most openly corrupt president in United States history. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...
WHY DOES SHE HAVE THE GREATEST ARTISTS OF ALL-TIME & I ONLY GET KID ROCK??? WAAAAAHHH!!!!! 😩
Well this one is easy. I’m with Bruce and Taylor.
Star Wars has become our mythology. It is where we tell our story of heroes and villains and cement our values. Its relevance today cannot be understated.
open.substack.com/pub/borowitz... Heh. Might as well. It’s sad when satire seems entirely plausible.
This times 1000.
Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
Ahem.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.
This is why you DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/u...
Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

I’ve just posted this video message to members of the DC Bar, urging them to vote *AGAINST* AG Pam Bondi’s brother to be its next president. Please pass this on to anyone who is eligible to vote. www.instagram.com/reel/DIcQFxt...
It’s hard to say what’s worse—Trump enjoying leaving García rotting in an El Salvadoran prison or that he now wants to do the same to US citizens. @schumer.senate.gov , this constitutional crisis demands a full-throated, united Democratic front—not a carefully worded press release.
Why does El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele look like a Star Trek villain? I guess calling himself the “world’s coolest dictator” should have been a sign. www.axios.com/2025/04/14/t...
open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...
Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.
“The reporter from MyPillow asked the White House press secretary why the president looks so healthy and robust” is a true sentence that exists in our current reality.
Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.
This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.
RFK Jr. pushed out FDA’s top vaccine official Dr. Peter Marks….part of his scathing resignation letter: "It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies" www.wsj.com/politics/top...
When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

By this reasoning, the instant someone is accused of murder, we can do what we want to them because the murder victim didn't have due process. Or if someone is accused of theft, because the victim didn't get due process. This is beyond just wrong. It's evil.
JFC.
Prime example of “obeying in advance.“
Satire is funniest when it is closest to the truth. I fully expect Trump to do something this stupid. “The show, which will star Ted Nugent as Aaron Burr, will be produced by a new patron of the arts, The National Rifle Association.” open.substack.com/pub/borowitz...
Hell yeah Al Green.
Trump and the GOP are doing everything possible to jeopardize our national security. "Russia and China have recently directed their intelligence services to ramp up recruiting of US federal employees working in national security, targeting those who have been fired..." www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...
MAGA is big mad the New York Times identified the people destoring the U.S. government for no good reason. Oh well... www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
New story!!!
"It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if you took everything that was bad about America, scraped it off the floor, put it in an old hot dog skin & taught it to make noises with its mouth" #PRESIDEMENTIA
"Rodden represents the agency in immigration court hearings where judges decide whether an individual is removed from the country... the account has posted hateful, xenophobic, and pro-fascist content. “America is a White nation, founded by Whites…Our country should favor us,” GlomarResponder wrote"
Zero chance he loses his job. Republicans and Trump have no problem with these kinds of people "Texas Observer has identified the operator of GlomarResponder as James “Jim” Joseph Rodden, a 44-year-old who works as an assistant chief counsel for ICE in the Dallas area."
One of the greatest tricks that Donald Trump and Elon Musk ever pulled is to convince millions of people that DOGE is about government efficiency. It's about narcissistic, resentful destruction: The Death of Government Expertise. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
Trump, Elon and their cronies are trying to normalize the removal of any accountability of our government.
Surprise, surprise; Texas AG Ken Paxton wants to gut the agency trying to hold him accountable. “…Paxton encouraged state officials to consider abolishing the state bar, an administrative agency of the judicial branch that receives no state money.”
If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.
"Competitive authoritarianism will transform political life in the United States. The cost of public opposition will rise considerably... This process of self-sidelining may not attract much public attention, but it can be highly consequential." Worth reading:
After Kendrick finished his halftime set
Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…
There is no bottom
“Trump administration appointees and allies of Elon Musk wanted to use the Treasury’s sensitive payment system to block payments.” If you control the checkbook, then you don’t need Congress. The United States of America does not have a king. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/u...
The racist dog whistle is a fog horn and it’s coming inside the house. “When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”

Time to relearn our old tactics for fighting fascists. www.404media.co/declassified...
Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
Bipartisanship with fascists is surrender.
"When you see those images, the ICE raids... the troops deploying to the border, it almost makes you feel as if we're at war, but at war with this imaginary enemy. ... That is the point. The point is to sustain the very fear that got Donald Trump to the White House." -@paoramos.bsky.social

Forced displacement is GENOCIDE. Trump is literally proposing a war crime.
Woah! Forced displacement is GENOCIDE. Trump is proposing a war crime. apnews.com/article/trum...
The other reason is it *wrecks your credibility* on everything you’ve been saying and should still be saying about him. “He’s a criminal and a threat to democracy, who we eagerly look forward to working with for the common good” does not compute. People will reasonably conclude all that was BS.
Don’t know why they are complaining. This is exactly what they voted for.
That will end well. Idiot.
