Few ppl seem aware of the perfectly aligned row of dominos set up for Trump: $TRUMP & $MELANIA bribecoin #crypto scheme; #ProudBoys well-documented tactic of posing as #AntiFa to incite protests to violence; Trump’s itching desire to use military to shoot #BLM protesters; & now #immunity for it all

I think what RFK Jr. meant to say was “the CDC director refused to put kids' health at risk when I told her to, so I fired her."

@jayinkyiv.bsky.social has a YouTube channel, and it’s a good one. I’m really appreciating his takes. Jay’s updates regularly give a deeper backstory-context than you’ll see in the headlines and even on many other pro-Ukraine YT channels

@jjsmart.bsky.social YouTube really needs to clean up their act. Look at the header ad they serve *above* your profile when I search for “Jason Jay Smart” — a promo for a paid Russian propagandist, Tim Pool.

What happens if we all wear masks and yell at each other that we’re all ice, stuffing each other into cars, stopping those cars, and stuffing the occupants into yet other cars?
It’s a perfect ICE ouroboros.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

"Sergio Gor" (Sergey Gorokhovsky) rapidly ascended in Republican politics over the years for good reason: He delivered massive amounts of cash through "donation fundraising."
Jesse Benton, his co-worker from Sen. Paul's office, went to prison for laundering $100,000 from Russia.

Every time Jon Stewart takes a crack at bothsideism it’s a swing-&-a-miss
It’s as if he doesn’t have the capacity to recognize the gross hypocrisy in his own rhetoric…even while critiquing the gross hypocrisy of MAGA Rs’ rhetoric —and Dems who do nothing to counter MAGA Rs’ rhetoric or their agenda

thread on what law enforcement officials had to say about the assassination of Rep. Melissa Hortman and the attempted assassination of Sen. John Hoffman
law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Getting really tired of all the “marines took an oath to the Constitution” copium.
So did Trump.
So did everyone in his regime.
The reality is that our military’s culture is largely hard-right into Trumpism —and I know marines, I have some in my family that I barely speak with because of this.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.
But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.
