Remember that raid of a Chicago apartment building by ICE via Blackhawk helicopter?

The people detained during that raid were not criminals at all and they were found thanks to their slumlord...

But all of this begs the question: Where the hell is the “opposition” party here?

People talk plenty about right-wing provocateurs and powerful leaders -- not so much about the quiet compliance that makes them possible.

We discussed the Department of War, Pete Hegseth, and military masculinity with journalist Jasper Craven.

Candace Owens, Marjorie Greene, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and even the late Charlie Kirk 👀 are all criticizing the Republican consensus on Israel.

What is happening and how is Israel driving a wedge between actual N@zis and those who just dog whistle.

Last week we spoke with @mauricewfp.bsky.social of the
@workingfamilies.org about why Zohran's win is HUGE -- not just for Dems -- but even more so for third parties and the organized left.

For some many communities, being targeted by the government is nothing new.

But now in Trump's America -- per NSPM-7 -- anyone
who is suspected of being "anti-American," "anti-Christian," or "anti-capitalism," could be at risk.

How will Zohran govern?

Mamdani has been unabashed in his demands to freeze the rent, make buses fast and free, and deliver free universal childcare.

Despite certainly facing challenges ahead in Albany, he is showing other politicians how to not cave in advance.

Has Greta changed?

Ever since taking action for the people of Palestine she has been called a terrorist, an anti-semite, and someone who left climate justice behind.

But reality the fights are intertwined.

Yes, Donald Trump's government is ripping food out of working people's hands.

But this follows a long history of Republicans slamming "welfare queens."

We discussed with @samseder.bsky.social of @majorityreport.bsky.social on the latest episode of The Bitchuation Room.

Mike Johnson is running cover for Epstein and his friend Trump.

@repsummerlee.bsky.social her colleagues on the oversight committee successfully subpoenaed the full unredacted Epstein files but so long as the government is shut down, and Adelita Grijalva isn't sworn in, they won't be released.

Marjorie Greene seems different... but as fellow congressperson Rep. Summer Lee said on the show:

It's not enough to say 'I don't support genocide abroad' while supporting fascism at home.

It feels like @vanlathan.bsky.social AIPAC question broke Gavin Newsom's brain...

On our the latest podcast episode, we broke down with Van why Gavin's non-response to pointed questions about Israel are very INTERESTING INDEED.

Young men online are not okay... neither are people posting for official government accounts... and neither are Republican staffers...

In this deep dive @franifio.bsky.social explores how all these incredibly online worlds intersect in the deep dark bowels of the "irony-coded" internet.

Tired: calling DHS's posts "nazi propaganda"

Wired: it's a settler colonial manifest destiny fever dream

In this deep dive, @franifio.bsky.social
unpacks this slopaganda & why sometimes it feels like actual mass shooters seem to post the same way as who is behind these official accounts.

Have you heard of the pronatalists?

The eugenic-adjacent movement sweeping the nation has friends in high places... Meet the Collins,' the kid crazy couple looking to populate the earth.

In our deep dive we'll unpack how these weirdos connect to Musk, Thiel, Vance and more.

Trump deemed himself the "fertilization president."

At the same time, he backtracked on campaign promises to cover the costs of IVF -- caving to MAHA and the religious right.

In this deep dive, @franifio.bsky.social looks at the hypocrisy of pronatalist movement and their king.

What do we think...did Kamala soft-endorse Zohran?
