If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

“The 5 things Pete Hegseth did last week” - Shared classified attack plans on an unsecured commercial chat application. - Denied doing it. - Denied the plans were classified. - Denied the plans were plans. - Attacked the journalist who proved he was lying.

Pete Hegseth Blows Into Breathalyzer To Unlock Phone

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns. Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity. It’s been the plan for decades.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

The incompetence of this administration is staggering.

once again, every accusation is a confession. republicans spent 15 years accusing democrats of winning elections by trading cash for votes. now, here we are.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?

Pete Hegseth allegedly having a Russian email address is the least surprising thing I’ve read today.

The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. It's fascism. Call it what it is.

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

Mr. Miyazaki sir, I love your movies about how capitalism and the destruction of nature are evil, I made a shitty facsimile of them in a computer that drains reservoirs, do you like it

RFK Jr. wants to gut the very agencies that protect us from pandemics, approve life-saving drugs, AND help our most vulnerable get healthcare? Y’all… this isn’t reform, it’s reckless. www.cnbc.com/2025/03/27/r...

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

this is you btw

Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.

JUST IN: Judge Boasberg orders a 4pm hearing in the Signalgate lawsuit by American Oversight

"the nintendo app seems like nintendo complicating things for no good reason" was my first thought, but it became infinitely funnier when i realized elon has burned nintendo's trust on social media and they want an app they control so they dont have to deal with it

Based on the replies l, it looks like there a lot of fed workers on @bsky.app I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I can't imagine the shit you are going through right now Thanks for your service to our country

"That’s why the CIA guards don’t allow cell phones, or even Fitbits, into their buildings. Which brings us back to Bill Murray’s question: Why was the director of the CIA using a cell phone at CIA headquarters?" www.spytalk.co/p/signalgate...

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Whiskey Pete Hegseth has a Russian burner phone which he uses to communicate in secret with someone. 👊🇺🇸🔥

So, if people did not know, the series was on ice for so long because the composer, Tsunku, was diagnosed with laryngeal cancer in 2014 and had art of his vocal cords removed. That they made a note of him coming back for this one is actually kind of a big deal.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Tomogatchi gamers, we've won.

If this doesn’t make you angry, I don’t know what will. 🤬

Not a historian, but to my knowledge, this is the first time a sitting US Senator — or member of Congress, generally — or perhaps any senior US gov’t official — has included an f-bomb in an official press release. www.duckworth.senate.gov/news/press-r...

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

NEW! The Trump administration appears to have sent a married father with NO CRIMINAL RECORD in any country to rot in a prison in El Salvador because of a PAPERWORK ERROR. This man doesn’t even have tattoos! But his paperwork has two different peoples’ ID numbers listed and the wrong last name!

Hayao Miyazaki should be allowed to kill at least one person

going on twitter and seeing people use the chatgpt studio ghibli image generator makes me think about how miyazaki is likely putting together a hit list of everyone who uses it

GOP Rep. Bacon: "We made a mistake. We passed legislation that gave the president some temporary tariff authorities. I think we should look back and maybe restore the power back from Congress and take away the authorizations."

Happy Opening Day

He's such a snowflake.

This is Oreo. He is not ready to wake up yet. Please put the blanket back before we call the FBI. 12/10

A US president not knowing four US servicemen are dead 24 hours after it was reported is appalling.

"freedom seeds" is somehow both cringe and incredibly dystopian

It’s not a war plan it’s an attack plan. It’s not rape it’s sexual abuse. If there’s not enough evidence to assure conviction, then it’s a hoax. Very tired of a decade of this dumb game, but glad to see them have a hard time playing it this time.

“Those two countries”🤡 The dumbest President in history.

This is the op-ed Rumeysa Ozturk co-wrote in 2024 criticizing the Tufts administration’s response to student demands for action regarding Gaza and Israel. It is unquestionably speech protected by the First Amendment. /1 www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2024...

I’ve asked this question before. Now I’m SHOUTING it. Where the HELL are the Democrats? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/where-the-hell-are-the-democrats

We're 4 days into Signalgate and Trump clearly doesn't even know what Signal is. Who is running the White House?

Take note

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

If we didn’t laugh, we’d cry. @theonion.com

Another reason it is cowardly to simply obey and let them take over your newsroom or university is that if you don’t they often will be like “well fuck, that was our main idea”

Just a thought…👇

Many of my elderly neighbors don’t have access to hot or fresh food. Meals on Wheels can’t be delivered this far out and we have no restaurants. Some elderly folks in my community count on the food bank who comes to our town to deliver fresh food. Those food banks are now losing their funding.

Whatever happened to the "5 things " DoGe emails ? Talked to someone really smart who just left gov, who said all the emails bounced back as inbox full. Already forgotten Typical Ready Fire Aim

GOP Rep. Bacon: "Everybody that reads the messages knows that it was inappropriate for the secretary of defense to put when we were gonna bomb Yemen, when the aircraft are taking off ... I have no doubt that Russia and China are able to read those messages. I would be very surprised if they did not"

Benghazi this shit. Make this Senate investigation last months and drag them in for questioning every day.

If it’s true that Trump wasn’t briefed on four missing — presumed dead — soldiers in a Lithuania, someone needs to be fired. There’s not much higher on the priority list than MIA soldiers. Whoever dropped the ball there is failing POTUS in an inexcusable way.

GOP Rep. Bacon on the Trump administration's handling of SignalGate: "The credibility is suspect when you cannot even admit that this was wrong."

Happy #OpeningDay to everyone but Stupid.

This is hilarious. #Greenland

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

This. This right here

I appreciate that Jeffrey Goldberg did not sit on this news for a book that he writes two years from now

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Time for another year of Mariners baseball, friends!

Lmao 🤣 savages

Hey @theatlantic.com , any thoughts on this ? www.tiktok.com/t/ZT27nbcwq/

Most clarifying era in politics in America as anything I can recall because it’s so simple: You’re either for this or against. Pick a side.

Of course they are.

Short sided AF! We can shut borders, cut ties, and look away—but viruses don’t care. The next pandemic is just a 12-hour flight away and we have an HHS secretary, who doesn’t believe in vaccines. This decision will hurt us at home…

Saving you a click, perhaps: not that Bill Murray.

legs meme ❤️🖤

Thanks, I hate it

On the up side I spent a lot of time recently with really pissed off elderly people and poor people and they get it. They get power. And they get bullies. It’s the credentialed among us who are struggling.

You truly could not make it up. You could not.

ABC News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CBS News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." MSNBC: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CNN: "An unthinkable breach of national security." Fox News: "We've all texted the wrong person before."

All of Trump‘s top security advisors, including Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and Mike Waltz, have had their mobile numbers, E-Mail and passwords placed in commercial databases & publicly available leaks. While they scramble to take down info, everything has been documented.

Is it good to have a Director of National Intelligence who can't remember what country she was in a week or two ago?

The “this is not new” people need to take a day off. Nothing is ever completely new. All oppression has iterations across history, but we are off the map of our experience, the situation is escalating and it’s completely out of control. History lessons are welcome. “This is not new” is out of touch.
