2028 nominee pledge to fully staff the IRS and collect every penny these assholes owe with interest and penalties, which will pay for itself 100x over

A family friend once ran into one of the Wall Street guys who was on the U.S. negotiating team for CUSMA opposite Freeland. He and his fellows were still laughing at misogynistic jokes about her years later. It’s unsurprising that she‘s able to so clearly diagnose the deeper ugliness at play here.

If we still valued market competition and rule-of-law democracy, antitrust would be all over a defense contractor - internet service provider - social media network - large language model - car manufacturer - humanoid robot conglomerate. Apparently we needed a big reminder why antitrust exists.

At a certain point you do have to accept that the Israeli government does not recognise other countries as having sovereignty in the same way they have sovereignty.

13/ Oversight meant to catch corruption became a tool for policing political speech inside a union with 400,000 members and tens of millions of dollars in legal fees already spent. Same doctrine, no badge or subpoena required, just a compliance title.

7/ Three finance giants did what no court order could ever do cleanly: cut SPLC off from its own money before a trial even starts. No judge was involved anywhere in that decision, so no First Amendment fight for SPLC to even have. Same trick, new suit.

2/ DHS calls it a subpoena for national security. What it actually got him: a demand for his Google login history, IP addresses, credit card numbers, and even his Social Security number, all triggered by one polite, four sentence email. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

1/ A Philly retiree, 67, emailed DHS asking mercy for an Afghan man facing deportation. Hours later they subpoenaed his Google account. Weeks later, agents showed up at his door. This is the crackdown, for ordinary people. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Listening to coverage of Charlie Kirk trial. TPUSA are hopeful that facts from courtroom will counter conspiracy theories. Too bad TPUSA et al told so many ppl to “do your own research“ and “don’t trust elite institutions.”

Text messages and videos obtained by the ACLU show that federal immigration agents who carried out last year’s raids in L.A. referred to Latinos with slurs such as “wet” (wetback) and “tonks,” reportedly derived from the sound a flashlight makes when hitting a migrant’s head.

Although tbf Leila Fadel kept asking until she got a “DSA bad” answer.

All the olds want their grandchildren to suffer.

That is literally what representative democracy is, and yet everything FOR DEMOCRATS ONLY is “oh you’re gonna hurt the Democratic Brand by being an interest group representing your constituency.” We just have to reject this as fundamentally absurd AND fundamentally anti-democratic.

"Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea" -- @davelevitan.bsky.social

Props to the brave students in India who forced the resignation of the Modi government’s education minister. These brave students staged a peaceful sit-in protest that lasted a month, went on hunger strike, and endured violence from the Delhi police. (1/2)

You can’t destroy bigotry while you advocate for it.

Ask Grok “what is metaphor?”

Perdue lost because he was insider trading, making money while downplaying Covid. And ppl were sick of it!

Red states don’t get as much ICE violence as blue states for the same reason blue states receive less disaster relief funding. Trump HATES them and wants them punished
