Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Iran: a young, increasingly secular quasi-democracy with a top heavy religious fundamentalist government that is facing increasing pressure for reform Israel: a radicalizing garrison state with no opposition or reformist movement to speak of

👇🎯 It is unendingly exhausting & sadly predictable how our National Conversation™️ pretends that the Actual Democrats & their Actual Policies & the Actual Reason Rural America doesn’t get More Actual Nice Things do not exist. The Narrative™️ simply cannot fail. It can only be failed.

guys like Graham definitely aren't ignorant but I think a lot of Democrats including people on here are, they've internalized a worldview that is closer to Graham's than they realize

I'm genuinely not sure it's ignorance so much as the Lindsay Graham types of the party are literally the Holden Bloodfeast meme and are still mad that Obama signed a treaty with the ragheads instead of bombing them into a western satrapy.

one of the first things that occured to me when I finally saw the truth of the Israeli-Palestinian 'conflict' was 'wow Iran looks a whole lot more like it could be a functional democracy eventually than Israel will be in ten years' and I stand by it.

If you want to stop Newsom, build up his negatives with Black voters *now.* Emphasize how he keeps hanging out with racists and inviting them to talk on his show. Ask how Black people have fared in his California and how he’s responded to racism against us. What was he doing in 2014? 2016? 2020?

It’s the least important thing, but I can’t believe our pedophile president just declared an illegal war at 3am in this fuckass hat.

It should be painfully clear that politicians have figured out that the optimal response to scandal is to stay in, never apologize, and dare the base to not vote for them. It sucks, but it clearly works!

this new money laundering ring revealed in the epstein files, can't imagine who might be in it. anywhoozles, remember this www.cnn.com/2017/05/22/p...

I wonder if or when we'll see the realization of the magnitude of this snafu dawn in hegseth's dull eyes

This was clear from the jump, but the Venezuela invasion going as smoothly as it did, from a pure operational perspective, is going to prove catastrophic in the long run.

just saw White House slop mixing iconic baseball moments with CENTCOM snuff clips and I want to throw up and then find the man responsible and beat him to death

"viscerally revolting" are the words that come to mind

Disgusting. Abhorrent. Malicious. Rip CBP and ICE down to the fucking studs.

Be someone others look up to

why is this so fucking funny lol

one reason i do not want Hegseth's idea of boots on the ground is that it's quickly going to turn into some horrific bullshit

this is explicitly genocidal

Tesla just keeps on finding news ways to be an absolute nightmare of a company

Use your words.

Ooooof. Really girl

Trump administration officials scrambled Friday to explain away the latest horrendous jobs numbers, but couldn’t conjure up more than blaming the weather or fake numbers. trib.al/GbXN0SR

Today in 2015, the Trump Taj Mahal paid $10 million in fines after admitting to helping “criminals, terrorists, and bad actors” exploit the US financial system for over a decade.

As job growth stagnates, as oil prices spike amid war on Iran, and as the majority of Americans view his second term negatively, President Trump has laid his eyes on Cuba. trib.al/xIQBsKu

Late last year I covered the case of QueerDoc, a small, telehealth gender-affirming care practice that received a subpoena from Trump's DOJ. The subpoena was blocked by a federal judge, but the DOJ appealed, and the 9th Circuit is hearing oral arguments today.

Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones. Russia helps Iran track American forces. And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil. Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Wisconsin Joins Multi-State Lawsuit Against New Trump Tariffs

how your email today finds me

"Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray, so that they may be seen by others. But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door."

Evangelical leaders gathered in the Oval Office again yesterday to lay hands on Trump. ("Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray...so that they may be seen by others....But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door....")

stop asking questions and make accusations

The wars will continue until gas prices go down.

They should focus on standing up to a fascist SecDef

Trump has been extremely reluctant to give his critics a scalp. So, imagine being too embarrassing, corrupt, and inept to be able to stay in Trump’s cabinet of misfit toys — more deplorable than Kash Patel, or the chodish SecDef, or Pam Bondi. Or RFK Jr., FFS open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Is it possible to pass laws forcing corporations to NOT default to doing the shittiest things that they can legally get away with? (not until we get serious about oligarchic capture)

I'd love someone to do an investigation into this, though. The portion you get at Just Salad when you order pick-up is ALWAYS smaller than if you order in person, despite it being made on the same line by the same people at the same time!

Trump is the first degrowth environmentalist president

First case is Panda et al. v. Bondi, a case where several citizens of Angola are appealing an immigration court's denial of their asylum claims. All three judges, including the Trump appointee, are tearing the DOJ lawyer up.

Noem was not fired for (1) killing her puppy, (2) the cinematic brutality of ICE, (3) her cosplaying at migrant gulags, (4) the murder of two Americans in Minneapolis, or even for (5) her special assistant sidepiece, Corey Lewandowski. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

geopolitics, 2026: every nation makes the absolutely worst decision known to man

I had planned a lengthy rant about the White House Correspondents Dinner, but it’s Friday and I’ve run out of ways to say “pathetic” and “spineless betrayal.” open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Evidence piling up that the Trump regime thought Iran is Venezuela, and the Maduro operation—which needed some luck to go as smoothly as it did, and didn’t actually advance US national interest or improve anything for Venezuelans—was easily repeatable in the Middle East. This was not very smart.

it's funny you can see how much the New Deal fixed macroeconomic stability within the United States, and the elite hated FDR for it

As a friend pointed out: honestly astonishing to think about what would have happened if trump had come in and done literally nothing on the economy

🇫🇷 Le candidat de centre-droit aux municipales à Paris Pierre-Yves Bournazel a fait l'objet d'une opération d'ingérence numérique menée par un réseau lié à la Russie, a annoncé vendredi Viginum, le service chargé de lutter contre ces manipulations en ligne. ➡️ u.afp.com/SubB

I mean, if someone bombed the United States in a prolonged, multi-day assault that eliminated our top leadership, we wouldn't consider that a war. That's intramural volleyball.

Have we gotten Bondi's assessment of the stock market yet???
