I am, in fact, triggered by someone being murdered by the Gestapo and our government lying about it and celebrating the murder. It’s time for decent people to decide where they stand — with the Gestapo and its supporters, the juvenile shitposting government, or with America.

If reporters for major news organizations got off X, they'd soon realize how completely deranged *federal government officials* are. Marinating in this shit day in and day out makes it seem like the new normal.

And as always, it's vital to say "The media are lying to you!" so when you see actual evidence and that voice in your head says "I don't know, it looks like she was trying to leave" a louder voice will say "If you even entertain the truth then you will be a traitor in this war."

The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.

Collectively we don’t understand all that is being taken from us But it most assuredly is

While the goal of this terrific paper is to get International Relations theorists to expand their research, journalists and US Senators and Congress members would be well advised to expand their analysis and responses to the administration’s actions and statements.

“Trump’s vision of absolute sovereignty, his reliance on a clique composed of family members…, fierce loyalists…, and elite hyper-capitalists …guides not only US foreign policy, but his ordering of international relations itself.”

My kingdom for a striker. This is an #Everton post

I cannot recommend reading this paper highly enough. (If you don’t do that, at least read 🧵)

These are OUR books. We paid taxes for their creation.

In the cited example an American taxpayer says the agency helped change her life, and Russell Vought won’t comment on that. Because he’s an objectively hateful, terrible person.

One of the things about MTG is that she actually believed in all the turbo-racist, turbo-bigoted America First stuff and her anger with Trump is not because she's not a lunatic bigot, it's because he isn't doing any of the lunatic bigoted things he promised to do and instead doing other bigot things

“Enslaved people imported into the country as property obviously had no desire to reside in [theU.S.], much less do so permanently. It's unfathomable that anyone could have understood the Citizenship Clause to impose a requirement that would deny birthright citizenship to its primary beneficiaries.”

Breaking the law and desecrating a memorial to an assassinated national leader for the glorification of a violently repressive bigot? No biggie, why would you care. Reacting to that by declining to perform a concert for free? How dare you! This offense, this dereliction of duty cannot stand!

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

The Donald J. Trump And Mississippi River

The Donald J. Trump And Statue of Liberty

The Donald J. Trump And O’Hare International Airport

The Donald J. Trump And Golden Gate Bridge

The Donald J. Trump And Oriole Park at Camden Yards

Looking good, sir! Never better

Listening to KEXP’s Morning Show in honor of those we lost. Sly Stone, Jimmy Cliff, Steve Cropper and the list keeps going. Big losses but man they left us with a ton.

don't just kvetch; comment. CBP is proposing a massive new interference with the private lives and opinions of visitors to the united states, and those who exit. you can email comments to [email protected] - and post them if you do. you have until early february.

You can only remove universal birthright citizenship from the 14th Amendment by inserting words that are not present in the text, like “allegiance,” then defining them in an idiosyncratic way engineered to produce your preferred result. No one should credit this fundamentally fraudulent enterprise.

On Aug 24, 1869, Ohio Rep. John Bingham, principal framer of the 14th amendment, gave a remarkable speech on “Equal Rights-Impartial Suffrage,” in which he said of those who sought to reject the principal of birthright citizenship, “no greater political atrocity than this can possibly be committed.”

It’s truly a miracle that so many people over the past 100+ years managed to find the Oval Office without the labeling

Boy, what is it with you people? You think not getting caught in a lie is the same thing as telling the truth, Charlie Brown

The Galileo parallel is reasonable, though. RFK Jr. is challenging orthodoxy by contending that science and the rest of the universe revolve around his gigantic ego.

We’ve lost so much since the 70’s. We used to rely on the hearsay of Epstein’s Mother

From the Court’s ruling: “It’s challenging to unpack the DOJ letter because it contains so many factual, legal, and typographical errors.”

Seems clear to me that Lindsey Halligan thinks an indictment is like a civil complaint. We make Civil Rule 8 compliant allegations and the good stuff will come out at trial. It’s not, kids. Not even close.

If you print this press release, fold it over once, and microwave it for 30 seconds, it’s a casserole

My kingdom for a Source

The administration is deliberately starving poor people so that Dems will agree to radically slash the healthcare available to poor people. Do not let its familiarity dull your outrage. This is monstrous, unforgivable shit.

This is fucking brilliant, and you should read it: lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

This is a great piece. From a federal politics standpoint, the question is: Which Party is standing in the way of more wind and solar? The answer is clear.

Carrots for fellow autocrats (see also Javier Milei) Sticks for US consumers

Ellis: Federal agents described a number of protestors as "professional agitators" based on their use of whistles, in part. "Describing neighborhood moms and rapid response groups as professional agitators shows just how out of touch these agents are and how incredible their statements are."

“I could smell the mustard and onions!”

A reminder that SNAP benefits didn’t go out November 1 because Donald Trump and Brooke Rollins broke the law and the Republicans in Congress are fine with that.

Yamamoto MVP right?
