It blows up my blood pressure that the GOP is constantly trying to take away voting rights, and the major newspapers never frame it as ham-fisted violations of our Constitutional rights

We listened to the hearing yesterday in DOJ's attempt to purge CA votes mid-election. It went very badly for the government, because of an issue of procedural geekery. @andrewtorrez.bsky.social, that's your walk up music! www.lawandchaospod.com/p/ninth-circ...

RFK Jr. says 500 million Arabs don't produce science or win Nobel Prizes. Seriously? Omar Yaghi — 2025 Nobel Chemistry. Ahmed Zewail — 1999 Nobel Chemistry. Naguib Mahfouz — 1988 Nobel Literature. Three names. Three Nobel Prizes. How does America's health chief get something this basic so wrong?

Think of all the government officials who read this, and worse, in the Epstein files and THEN decided to defend and run interference for Trump

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

the thing is, they literally do. The claim is that the Arab world *once did* great things and *no longer does,* and that second part is not true. Conveniently, they keep records of who gets those prizes, so you can see that it is not true.

Text from my sister: So we just went to see the Elizabeth Holmes movie. At one point, Charlie Kirk is mentioned. One of the characters (so unlikable) says he’s a Charlie Kirk fan. All the ppl around us were like “oh of course he is.” It was the best bonding moment I’ve ever had at a theater

Remember when Bethany Mandel shared a photo of her child's filthy mask as "proof" that masks were unsanitary, and people were like, this is 100% terrible parenting for giving your kid a dirty mask to wear? This is the AI version of that

I found that one Ingram officer was clocking in far more hours and raking in more funds working for ICE than his coworkers, according to paystubs and timesheets I later acquired. Sometimes, he spent an entire 12-hour shift working for ICE.

We knew that in September 2025, ICE announced new incentives for the 287(g) police partnership program, including a $100K vehicle stipend, quarterly performance bonuses + overtime pay for officers. Ingram opted in. That meant its cops would serve as deputy immigration agents.

The cop was handing them off to federal immigration agents. As early as a month after the flood, laborers were adding an extra 90 minutes to their daily commutes, just to avoid Ingram’s five-minute stretch of highway.

Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵

I’m sure this has much more to do with the crimes they plan on committing in the next two years than crimes of the past. People will hesitate to follow Trump’s illegal orders if they get the sense they may actually be held accountable.

It’s a subject that makes a lot of people uncomfortable and calling them corrupt and evil is easier. But the truth is that Republicans have a rape problem—one that they celebrate.

Extraordinary. I can't believe your story may be the first time the Republican's acceptance of the rape and abuse of woman and children has been spoken of in such clear terms... considering how goddamn long it's been going on.

Q: Now that you know the backstory about Amy Acton and her stepfather and why she hasn't talked to her mom in so long -- her stepfather was indicted for rape -- do you change your mind about the ad? TRUMP: No. No. It's a mother speaking badly against Amy Acton. You don't know anything.

The “parent estrangement” panic should be understood as part of the same complex as anger at social media “censorship,” and demands for affirmative action for conservatives in academia. Conservatives simply think you should be forced to listen to their dogshit ideas, no matter how cruel.
