Tillis is beclowning himself by claiming weaponization of DOJ is universal even if "maybe it's a little more intense in this administration". A complete tool and an embarrassment to the great state of North Carolina
Worth keeping this in mind always because this machine is grinding along

BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: ICE Seized Drawings from Children in Detention. I Sued, and Today I Got Them.
Five months ago, I filed a Freedom of Information Act Request for papers seized from children at the Dilley ICE Detention Center. Today, I got a heartbreaking response.

Cornyn and Tillis were always toadies and fakes. But they sure did like the attention and fleeting pretense of being tough. Now they'll vote for Blanche despite the fact he's going to work to destroy what's left of the rule of law in America. Despicable.
Just read that Ronald G. Davis died. I've been wondering what the place of radical street theater in our hollowed cell phone addicted age. But then a clown troupe performed just yesterday at the anarchist free market in Carrboro. Inspiring and perfect! (As the Really Really Free Market always is...)
This is a story about the President and several of his hand-picked appointees all committing crimes and blatantly lying to the public while stealing public funds and abusing the criminal justice system, but the NYTimes describes the situation like they're recapping a soap opera.
Larry Glickman@larryglickman.bsky.social · 4d agoAnother example of the problem with the fixation with Trump’s putative emotions: here a story about the Trump administration’s corruption, incompetence, and venality is framed as one about Trump’s “wrath.” www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...

War now only occurs when the markets are closed is actually very cyberpunk
Make no mistake here. This is Trump objectively taking the side of Iran, a nation we are currently at war with, over the Americans in Minnesota because he hates the governor and the fact that a majority of voters there did not vote for him
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoTrump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."
Prisciliano Trejo Ricano came to the U.S. at 3yrs old. ICE took him this June. He was 29. He told his family he didn't feel right but ICE wouldn't give him medical attention. After a month, ICE finally moved him to a hospital Prisciliano died five days later enlacelatinonc.org/en/Young-Mex...

“The policy-making structure is effectively posting to Truth Social & seeing if the gathered Nazis reply w/ likes or jeers. If the first, leave the post up. If the second, reverse course & chastise your aides. If neither, whine about how everyone is unfair to you & it’s all really Biden’s fault.”

Also the speed with which things begin to collapse. I always thought it was the least convincing part of so much post-apocalyptic work that collapses happened so quickly. Turns out you cannot underestimate the fragility of our systems
Jason Read@jasonread.bsky.social · 2w agoI think that we have to admit that post-apocalyptic movies seriously underplayed how much diarrhea and disease are involved in social collapse.

Fun geography fact I learned today: Santiago, Chile, which borders the Pacific Ocean, is east of New York City, which borders the Atlantic.
Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.
🚨 ICE just published their recent numbers and it's worse than we thought. JUNE: ICE and CBP took 43,138 people. That works out to 1,474 of our neighbors every single day. JULY: 65,765 people are now inside US concentration camps.
