I need y’all to get into the fact Mamdani watched the World Cup match at Rikers. With incarcerated folks. AND…he’s shutting that MF down. Give this man the Nobel.

Vanilla Ice steps up to the mike as the only performer left for America 250. He does a 90 minute set that’s just him yelling “get it? ICE?” In between rounds of Ice, Ice Baby
An apparent ICE-related shooting in Maine is a good time to remember to treat the agency's initial claims with skepticism rather than credulity.
A data center was just shut down in Wisconsin after the town council refused to have private talks with the developer and told them everything would include public approval That’s how it’s done, folks
The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.
Trump has declared war on Chicago and now his secret police are running racist ads in Edgewater. Let’s be clear: ICE isn’t welcome here. Trump isn’t welcome here. And they’re certainly not going to recruit their goons from here.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro just went after Trump: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil."
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

a slurring Trump in new video on American troops killed by Iran: “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more.“
In a moment when American families need politicians to make life better and more affordable, Republicans are out there passing the policy equivalent of upskirt pics.

They don't just want to control women’s bodies—they’re getting off on it.

What a surprise, the alleged abuser was jacking himself up on testosterone.

Another 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...
In Dropping Reflecting Pool Case, Pirro Draws Trump’s Wrath
Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney in Washington, blamed shoddy construction, contradicting President Trump’s pet theory. Mr. Trump said he disagreed “100%” with her.

Some books don’t just tell you about a writer, they challenge everything you thought you knew about them. The Enduring Hemingway is off to a strong start. #booksky
"Trump pardoned a business partner of infamous Jack Abramoff, kingpin of the massive corruption scandal that rocked DC in the 2000s. The man, who pleaded guilty to wire fraud and mail fraud conspiracy, has donated nearly $4 million to GOP campaigns..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump pardons a major donor and violators of the Clean Air Act
The pardons continue a pattern in President Donald Trump’s second term of railing against the Biden administration while granting clemency to political allies and donors.

Yesterday, I met with a 12 year old boy in Oxnard, CA. His mom and dad have been fieldworkers for over 20 years. ICE agents snatched his parents from the fields and left this boy alone with no clue when he’ll see them again. A 6th grader.
Stop what you're doing and listen to this warning from @marcelias.bsky.social about the real reason for Trump's National Guard deployment in DC.
The main point of Trump’s speech is that dark-skinned people are “low-IQ” and JB Pritzker is a “fat pig.“ I wonder if the DC quisling press is proud of hosting this travesty.
A sitting US president stole $900 million in another country's oil money and transferred it into his own private account in Qatar and y'all mf worried about immigrants!!!
Big news here. After Salgado Araujo was killed by an ICE agent, *someone* leaked that a search warrant for the van showed FBI thought they might have seen drug baggies in it. The family said it was drink powder. Apparently the substance was tested and the family was correct.
the Chicago Bears are now 9-3 and remain in first place after defeating the defending super bowl champions. Thats the Chicago Bears, from Chicago.
ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.
