You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof. What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

Journalist applies to ice expecting to get screened out for ger politics. They are hired before theyve filled out any paperwork. slate.com/news-and-pol...

In Washington, everything appears to be for sale And the government has given up on prosecuting corruption

Was that chip deal or this tariff break a credible decision made in the national interest, or a finagle made in Donald Trump’s self-interest? Was it both? Who knows

There will be a time when DOGE is synonymous with a useless, expensive, and disastrous fiasco.

Senators look at Trump's shameless corruption and say "give us some of that"

For One Day at Least, Long Live the King King Charles III shows us—but, really, congressional Republicans—what actual accountability looks like when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein.

"As Virginia Giuffre’s brother said, “An ordinary American girl from an ordinary American family brought down a British prince with her truth and extraordinary courage.” If only the truth and courage of this American girl could prevail here in the United States!"

She’s a LOON!
KKKaroline will be held accountable just like the rest of the #CriminalCabinet

Jesus was clear: to love & follow Him meant to love your neighbor as yourself. When asked to clarify, His example wasn't a righteous Jew, but of a member of a "hated" sect who showed love for a stranger in trouble. That invalidates all the hatred of foreigners & selfishness in the world.

The Supreme Court Case declaring that Nixon could not impound appropriated funds was literally an infrastructure case involving New York City.

Remember that Vance joined here too and everyone ignored him until he gave up and went back to fucking couches

By my count: Of the 15 Departments of the US Government, 13 launched new BlueSky accounts tonight (all but Justice and HUD), and all 13 have posted explicitly partisan political posts blaming Democrats and/or Chuck Schumer for the government shutdown.

to be clear: i am a "you should be able to buy recreational drugs from gay vending machines" libertarian and not a "i have memorized the age of consent for every southeast asian country" libertarian

This is, by the way, a huge sign that Bluesky has the juice. And would be a great time for the team to make sure they’re focused on rock-solid moderation and enabling developers to have a good base for building. Journalists always use these accounts to justify still being on X/Twitter.

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.

Block on sight.

Protect your digital space.

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.

The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

one thing about "big" right wing accounts joining over here is that it quickly becomes apparent they have no idea how to function online without a built in army of incel followers they can sic on people to harass

‘Prince Andrew believed having sex with me was his birthright’: Virginia Giuffre on her abuse at the hands of Epstein, Maxwell and the king’s brother In an extract from her posthumous memoir, Virginia Roberts Giuffre remembers the day an ‘apex predator’ recruited her from Mar-a-Lago, aged just 16; how she was trafficked to a succession of wealthy a...

The Guardian just published an excerpt from Virginia Giuffre’s posthumously published book to be released Oct. 21st, Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice by Virginia Roberts Giuffre. She wrote about Prince Andrew aka “Andy”.

This is not a minor issue: it’s a serious threat to democracy. We’re rapidly transitioning into a world where, as long as you support the president, you can be above the law; if you’re in the opposition, you have a target on your back. Opposition can’t survive under these conditions.

Inspo for tomorrow ✌️☮️🐸🐥🦖🦄

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
