- See if you can outdo this, @nytpitchbot.bsky.social, for putting a genteel spin on unlawful and unconstitutional bribes."
- “Tut-tut,” said the grey lady, as she adjusted her corset and asked for some smelling salts. “That dastardly scoundrel is at it again, straining the very bounds of propriety, my word! It makes one feel faint.”
- Who is leading the push-back on the golden jet bribe? As in, where do we, the people, focus our outrage and dissent? Ahh. That’s what I thought. Lots of verbiage. Little leadership. That’s the worst part and it’s early, and only Monday.

- Thank you. Got all I wasn’t following.
- Thank you. What Troy said.
- What bothers me is that if I tell friends/family I boycott Meta, etc… I can SEE their thought balloons. “She’s really paying attention. However, I can’t be bothered.” They go on posting, shopping, allowing the US to be burned to the ground.

- These are calculated moves. Each of these arrests is part of a skillfully planned, coordinated, and executed attack on our country and on every one of us. It is unlike anything in our history, and it is ongoing. Usually I add a pep talk here, but it’s late.
- “Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

View full threadThose (mostly) men who are ripping parents from their children because they're not white/not English-speaking/Muslim/whatever -- they have made the choice to do that job. They could choose other work. So to hell with them.
- That’s what I’m saying. People hid for years after WWII but they never gave up looking. We have receipts. We keep track of who helps this regime.
- So it’s Friday night and Rumeysa Ozturk is out on bail, Ras Baraka is in Homeland Security custody, and Stephen Miller is casually toying with suspending habeas corpus. Do I have that right?
- Pick a card, any card. Oops, wrong card. You lose. No, you win. No, I suspend your loss for a few weeks, after the other one. Didn’t Kash Patel screw up, too? More importantly….where are the grownups?

- There were many people who never relented and devoted decades to track down every single guilty citizen in Germany and around the world in the years following WWII. And they didn’t have the internet, like we do.
