If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

i genuinely cannot process how debased our ruling class is. these guys will walk around all day in shoes that don't fit rather than tell their boss he's wrong. this whole thing where they pretend a stupid evil guy with brain damage is qualified to run every aspect of everyone's life is unacceptable

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

Incredible stuff...and you're reading Graff's summary correctly: if you counted the number of officers/agents in CBP who have been ARRESTED you would have the country's fourth largest police department!

This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

Will someone at No Kings Rochester please primary @morelle.house.gov?!

We're not at war with Venezuela, these boats are many hundreds of lines from our waters, much less our shores, there is no threat, this is just murder. I really do think everyone from the SecDef to the guy who pushed the button should be tried for murder on this.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

The reason for military rules of engagement and adhering to laws of armed combat is not “political correctness,” it’s better strategy, serves long-term national interest, and is a way to make an awful part of the human experience a little less awful, based on lessons learned from centuries of blood.

"Back when I was in college, I was a cool, virile twenty-two-year-old with washboard abs and a large group of friends. Students today would struggle to say the same, since I’m sixty-two, my kids hate me, and my doctor says I’m prediabetic."

same guy lmao

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

NHL TNT Crew: “We’re all praying for Sam Reinhart, obviously. Horrible play. Just awful, getting sorta clipped with a knee. We hope he’s back soon.” Also TNT Crew, Over Two Year Old Footage of Bennett Concussing Slavin: “The Panthers hit to hurt, baby!! Woooo!!”

The thing with Pedro Pascal is he not only gives a fuck; he knows he's huge enough to spend all day trashing bigots safely because entire franchises are built around him atm. He's no dispensable Gina Carano-tier secondary guy. This also underlines how most famous artists as big as him are cowards.

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia? Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

a lesson for every college, law firm, business, etc. — if these chodes demand you do something, your first response should be some form of "make me"

Tapping the sign.

Unqualified success. The clearest, most inarguable public policy success in ages.

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

90% of "serious" American punditry is lying about what Democrats are saying, then telling them to do what they're already doing. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/o...

Oxfam has estimated world hunger could be eradicated entirely if nations contributed $31.7 billion more to global efforts to combat food insecurity. Billionaire wealth reached a record $14 trillion this year.

What are we DOING here? We're just meant to sit and act like this insane plagiarism and climate threat that requires more money than anything has ever cost is worth it? Are we meant to pretend that ChatGPT is worth this aimless, meaningless destruction of capital and our environment? For what?

the sports reference series of websites are some of the last good ones on the internet. they’ve never once changed their design to ruin it, have never hid critical functions behind a paywall, the stathead stuff they do put behind a paywall is incredible/worth charging for. i hope we never lose them

The United States has the highest GDP in the world by *ten trillion dollars*. It's not even close. Americans should retire at 60 w/ full pension. We should have free universal healthcare. We should have free PreK-PhD education. This belt-tightening ideology is a neurotoxin limiting our potential.
