If you haven't been exposed yet to the "Day Ahead" from macfarlanenews.bsky.social, you are in for a treat... this by all appearances is one of the hardest working people in independent news.

This is worth watching.

The latest on the Epstein controversy... this is the real suicide note. ... or is it?

Shameful. Disgusting. Unconscionable.

So here's my problem. With pretty much everything. There is no justice. That's what I keep coming back to. All of these bad actors act badly with impunity, and none of them are held accountable. There must be a reckoning. The rule of law must be reasserted. The guilty must be prosecuted.

Apparently a horse won, again, leading to claims that the race was rigged.

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

Absolutely bonkers footage of Ukrainian soldiers shooting down Russian drones in prop planes with shotguns. Not ai, came from an official Ukrainian account and verified by the WSJ.

Dems running for Congress and POTUS must run on Supreme Court reform. A law forcing justices into senior status after 18 years, applicable to the current bench would do the trick. That would force Roberts, Alito, and Thomas into senior status, opening three seats to be filled immediately. 1/

This is exactly what needs to happen next.

A little bit of good news on this otherwise shitty day...

I'm in.

Texas teachers fight back against white Christian nationalism in the classroom: "How about a complying poster that has a link or QR code after each commandment leading to a news report about a Texas politician breaking that same commandment?" www.chron.com/news/article...

Love the new look for Infowars!

Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.

damn

Of all the Donald Trump tweets Speaker Mike Johnson won't see, today's will be the one Speaker Mike Johnson didn't see the most.

"Free reign" or "Free rein"? For example... in the context of today's Supreme Court reversing Colorado's ban on conversion therapy, would one say that it gives "free reign" or "free rein" to the abusers of children that participate in it? More here: www.lawdork.com/p/supreme-co...

Here’s ICE being chased by the residents of Los Angeles. 👏😎💙

If you appreciate me spending an extra couple hours at the airport after my flight to bring you the clips from that interminable Trump cabinet meeting, please show some love by signing up for my newsletter. I think you’ll enjoy PN and paid subscribers make my work possible.

You can absolutely opt out of facial recognition. I did during a recent trip and the TSA agent didn't bat an eye.

AARON RUPAR—FANTASTIC JOB, really incredible clips, maybe the BEST anywhere. People are saying it! Smart, sharp, gets it RIGHT when others totally choke. PN is doing tremendous work—tremendous. Support him, folks, we need more of THIS and a lot less fake nonsense!

First term - we dodged a bullet. Second term - we're eating that bullet.

So many... from every Stephen King book to Clan of the Cave Bear

So what was everyone's book they read way too young?

Is it treason yet?

The people of the Twin Cities are going to be honored with the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award.  This is for all the Minnesotans who helped their neighbors and stood up for what is right. And this is for the memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Indeed.

“Section 14 of the Press Law ordered editors ‘to keep out of the newspapers anything which…tends to weaken the strength of the German Reich, outwardly or inwardly.’” - William Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, p. 405

After Warner Bros. deal, Paramount's debt has been downgraded to junk status Basically, the ratings agency thinks the combined entity faces a ton of competition & there's a risk the entire enterprise fails -- debt attached to it is therefore high-risk www.wsj.com/business/med...

“The fantasy monster that president after president has conjured up is real, and he is squatting orangely over his phone in the bathroom at Mar-A-Lago.” @nberlat.bsky.social nails in @atrupar.com’s latest PN: open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

For the love of god... they literally want to build Skynet! Granted I'm reading between the lines a bit...

More of this, please.

Bring Congress back into session. Now. We should vote on Senator Kaine's War Powers Resolution today.

if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal

"Operation Epic Fury". Sounds like it was made up by a 13 year old. Or a movie sequel subtitle author.

In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law

This is fucking chilling, and I believe it 100%.

Live Video Grid of BBC News, NBC, AJE and Sky News for those following news on Iran : vidgrid.tk.gg?layout=N4IgN...

The deja vu is palpable and visceral. Oh I fucking hate this so much.

Per NYT: "The Department of Defense is calling these strikes 'Operation Epic Fury.'" 😐 Please call your reps. And then scream into a pillow over the fact we have man children creating geopolitical chaos in the Middle East.

I just did this. Please, please do it too. For anyone that feels a little nervous, like I did (first time calling the switchboard), it wasn't that bad, and it felt good to record my thoughts on this matter.

Now that's some good trouble.

Justice. Justice is what is needed to resolve the ills of the world. Justice is simple. You know it when you see it. And, you know it when you don't see it. I'm so tired of not seeing it.
