Chip Roy’s Deportation Nation Banishing ideas, one immigrant at a time.

NEW: A horrific new bill introduced by Chip Roy would weaponize immigration law to target "socialism"—defined so loosely as to include even advocacy about economic equality—so that naturalized citizens could be stripped of their citizenship and deported.

Lawsuit: Blaze’s Crackpot Reporting Prompted a Wild, Unnecessary FBI Raid Quickly debunked reporting based on “gait analysis” was enough to get the feds to descend with a helicopter on a falsely accused J6 pipe-bomber’s home.

New: Kash Patel's FBI launched an unnecessary raid on the home of a former Capitol Police officer, based on Jan. 6 conspiracy theories from right-wing media outlet The Blaze.

All the yes to this.

Smartphones, Dumbphones, and Delusions of Platform-Building “I don’t actually need my smartphone to write, but do I need it in order to be seen as a writer?”

This week on Scratch, we have an essay by @maggiemertens.bsky.social about how her itch for a dumbphone is largely burnout from the need to constantly self-promote one's writing or risk professional oblivion.

You should be able to easily file your taxes for free with the IRS.

Not only did Trump kill Direct File, the IRS's free tax filing program, but this week, Republicans BLOCKED my bill that would make the program law of the land.

That's what you call selling out to TurboTax.

OMG... I feel like that could be it... he’s such a f****** dimwit

Trump fired Bondi for not prosecuting his enemies aggressively enough and mishandling the Epstein files. Her replacement: Todd Blanche who bragged at CPAC that every FBI agent who investigated Trump is gone. The fired agents used his exact words in their lawsuit as evidence of retribution.

You are so welcome!

Thanks for sharing, Julene!

Should We Talk About Evil? This is not a theological post.

I guess I think we should.

Thank you, Bruce.

Two survivors of Brown University attack escaped other school shootings Mia Tretta was shot in the abdomen in 2019 at a school near LA and Zoe Weissman witnessed a Florida shooting in 2018

Incredible!

A photo of Tierra Walker and her son, JJ, sits on a desk in her bedroom at her home in San Antonio. Walker died after doctors told her she didn't need an abortion during her high-risk pregnancy. Pregnancy "Ticking Time Bomb": A Pregnant Mother Kept Getting Sicker. She Died After She Couldn't Get an Abortion in Texas. ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn't access abortions.

Seems kinda huge:

"Epstein survivors have confirmed with democrats in congress that they participated in a massive Biden-era investigation into Epstein's co-conspirators, but Trump and Pam Bondi closed it."

New Orleans-based Opera Créole and Opera Lafayette's joint poduction of Edmond Dédé’s (1827-1901) opera "Morgiane" is magnificent!

Did anyone ever think the USA would deport Purple Heart recipients.

My God💔

My grandpa fought in WWII like many of yours. He was 100% Hispanic and a Purple Heart recipient. When I say he’s rolling over in his grave he’s doing so while 4 of his 7 kids are maga

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Kash Patel’s Girlfriend Is Driving MAGA Nuts She’s litigious. They’re sexist. It’s a miasma of loathing.

If we said "Alexis Wilkins is suing right-wing commentators who've accused her of being a Mossad agent sent by Israel to stop Kash Patel from releasing the Epstein files," we'd sound nuts. We'd also be reporting straight news. ICYMI @willsommer.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/kash-patel...
