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

The Libertarians are finally weighing in on masked feds shooting civilians in the face in the middle of the street

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.

The median voter, 2024

I'm on record that primaries are generally way less important for solving our problems than flipping seats, but Goldman is one of the worst guys in the caucus and Lander would be one of the best. Just donated - you can too: secure.actblue.com/donate/bl4cweb

Contrasting this truth-telling with the NYT's & WaPo's daily normalization of authoritarianism, it makes one think that letting oligarchs buy and capture our Fourth Estate was terrible for democracy. (The Inquirer has been a non-profit since 2016)

It’s possible that the cat that isn’t ours and that doesn’t live here may have gotten too comfortable

This is Kat Abughazaleh for wine moms

Hey fellow back-pain-havers: Somebody in mourning for MTV made a site that is an "infinite stream" of broadcasts and videos, no algorithms, just tune in. If you, like me, love music videos, seems like a better second screen experience than doom scrolling wantmymtv.vercel.app

This might have been the single biggest success of base consolidation propaganda in the century to date

There are so many good ones (Mononoke, Spirited Away, Nausicaa) but I will always have a soft spot for Porco Rosso

I did get DMed a death threat once on Twitter and I responded by saying I'd send him my address and then I sent him his address. He blocked me.
