The FTC Should Not Be Wielded as a Weapon of Authoritarianism - The Sling
The anti-monopoly community cannot continue to behave as if business-as-usual will continue at the FTC and DOJ. We cannot continue to segment anti-monopoly policy off from the rest of the Trump admini...

In @theslingutah.bsky.social, I argue Chair Ferguson has sacrificed the FTC's credibility and independence by pursuing Musk's vendetta against @mmfa.bsky.social. I am deeply disappointed in the agency where I began my career. www.thesling.org/the-ftc-shou...

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

A year ago today was the start of violent, terrorizing raids in California’s rural Central Valley. Violent federal agents were hunting down farm workers like animals.
Today, they’re in the streets of Minneapolis. Our communities should not be enduring this. None of us are safe until all of us are.

In the early 90s this Jewish family kept getting harassed in Montana, so the entire town of Billings put up menorahs in their windows in solidarity

Part of the Chanukah tradition is to place the light menorah either outside or in a window where outsiders can see it. This is supposed to advertise the miracle of Chanukah. These days, it is also a way of saying, “This is a Jewish home.”
Every year I think about how it is also an act of bravery.

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"
WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.
He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.
