the most telling thing I’ve seen all week is the Daily Show montage of MAGA mouthpieces pretending to mourn Renée Good’s death before saying she got what she deserved

“God is an American” is one of the all time scary/spooky lines in pop music

What I'm hearing is that fellow members of ICE absolutely do understand the shooting to have been a murder intended to terrorize.

One thing I think the political right did a better job of paying attention to, and Kristol still thinks along these lines, is recognizing the importance of intensity of issue support and not simply breadth. The groups who feel strongly will organize and can prevail against lackadaisical majorities.

Like he's outlawing cars because he wants to fuck horses

Wind, solar, & batteries represent 95% of ALL of the new electricity capacity that came online in the U.S. last year. Electricity demand is skyrocketing because of AI and the government is restricting supply & making building renewables illegal to build in the U.S. Your energy bills are going up.

The line can only hold as long as its weakest link. If you’re from Colorado call up this guy and let him know he needs to get his shit together.

This is the lady who wrote about how all her friends ditched her because of her awful politics. So if you needed to cheer yourself up, just know that this psycho’s life is completely miserable and she will never be happy, and she knows it!

"legislative leadership is tanking, not DPS" YES

the telegraph reports the UK government may move to ban X, the everything app

Right wing protester in Minneapolis: "The storm is here... No one can stop what is coming... And all you liberal motherfuckers keep their hands to yourself or you're gonna get hurt today. We executed one of you yesterday."

She’s always shooting her own dogs 😔

Kristi Noem, herself, supplied the method used to ID the agent. She said he "been dragged by a vehicle” in an earlier incident. @startribune.com reporters, who know their way around court records, quickly unearthed his name and confirmed his identity.

Only a thousand people subscribed to the Free Press, but every one of them went on to fund their own anti-woke think tank

Ellison: "State authorities can investigate anyway. We don't need their authority. It's at least arguable that there's a violation of MN statues here. All of them depend on an investigation though. And the federal govt can't stop MN from doing it's own, but I would hope it wouldn't come to that."

I understand the difficulty of indicting the guy when they don’t know who he is and all the evidence has been seized, but this is a really great way to get protesters and observers to decide the state won’t protect them against ICE, and start carrying, and then something really bad happens.

(visibly straining not to scream) this guy should probably resign

SUGAR ... IN WATER

Must-read - I've long thought the effects of social media on the mass public are likely overrated but their effects on elites are underrated

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

My kitchen table issue is “don’t shoot people at their kitchen tables”

This is a hog ass country full of criminally stupid dipshits but I also don't really have somewhere else to go. So basically we have to fix it

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video. The Trump administration is lying.

Again, MN BCA is involved, not just FBI.

bluesky has the juice

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

Frey: So, they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly: That is bullshit.

Did no one involved in writing/editing this story know/care enough to fact check this specific aspect of this claim?

Guess he's going for the Nobel War Prize this year

Picking Bohemian Rhapsody at karaoke is a decision that comes from an "I could fight a bear and win" mindset

accidentally introduced a bug to the game where all the text got replaced with "you"

Rahm holds a special place for Axios/Politico/Atlantic writers because he, too, believes in nothing but his own cleverness

To expand on this in a 'what should we do' sort of way, I think the prudent course here is for Dems to see if they can get the handful of GOP votes to force a discharge petition on a bill that affirmatively declares that military action against Denmark or Greenland would be illegal.

One of the big downside risks for insurgent campaigns on the left is that if you're not careful who you call "the establishment" some people are just going to conclude that you just hate liberals

This is a pretty big development.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Trip to Puerto Rico really showed me how much I love animals

It's becoming standard procedure across all news media to explicitly not mention in the obituary of a Republican member of congress that they voted on Jan. 6, 2021 to overturn the election

Walz: "They're unwilling to stand with Melissa Hortman's children. And I want to tell you this: for those legislators who went and shed crocodile tears at her funeral, shame on you. Shame on you. Her children are asking you to do one thing in her name: tell the president to stop doing this."

the best episodes of man vs. food are the ones near the end of adam richman's tenure where the light has left his eyes and he just mows his way through anything under five pounds, possibly not even experiencing the sensation of actually eating the food

"Charlie Kirk was doing politics the right way" - @ezraklein.bsky.social

Had to close the tab after five seconds because I kept involuntarily saying "gun" out loud

Andy Kim is a real one

i mean. it is cancel culture. like that's what it is, the thing being described is in fact when you ask "but why tho" about a video game mod and then have to delete your account because 100 people threaten to kill you

I dunno about you, but having legacy media mispelled as "Democrats" is kinda grating. Dems weren't dismissing Jan. 6th as anything, that's why they fought so hard against Trump. It's the media who kept rehabilitating Trump and letting him and the GOP downplay it as 'tourism'. Blame the industry.
