Disbar the lawyers.

“She has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours.” Her crime: witnessing ICE, from a distance.

Whoa. This is a big one. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

This is like hiring Jeffrey Dahmer to investigate Dahmer murders

The Trump regime is telling Europeans about their hostile intentions towards the continent in the US National Security Strategy, how they're going undermine Democracy. The US will seek to "cultivate resistance within the bloc to correct its current trajectory." Exactly the same thing Russia does.

YouTube’s ad setup is trash. Get the same three corporate ads over and over. Amazon, Facebook, and TPUSA (lol). You can’t even watch Christmas choir music without being interrupted every 5 minutes. Mobile app is designed to suck and DuckDuckGo gets marked as suspicious after x amount.

This is the post I was going to write about Larry Ellison (and Jared Kushner's foreign influence peddling). Only written better.

“Putin is scapegoating NATO expansion - Sarah Paine” youtu.be/hO7j6QQdITA?...

The authoritarian takover of the state bureaucracy might not *sound* like a big deal. But SCOTUS giving Trump the ability to fire the federal government is a God-King power, and represents a failure of the American Revolution. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

There are plenty of obnoxious reply-guys not only in Japan but overseas too, so the only salvation is underwater. Dive into the sea.

i do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

NEW: Right-wing media spent years insisting the Jan. 6 pipe bomber was a deep-state plant. Now that the suspect looks to be a Trump-supporting election denier, the conspiracies are only getting louder. @willsommer.bsky.social explains why in the latest False Flag: lnk.thebulwark.com/4rLHz32?utm_...

US LAYOFFS SET TO EXCEED THE 2008 FINANCIAL CRISIS

I’ve practiced law for over 50 years and today makes me mourn for my life. And for all of us.

Supreme Court oral argument this morning, in sum Sotomayor: you're asking us to destroy the foundation of government (derogatory) Gorsuch: you're asking us to destroy the foundation of government (complimentary)

Imagine bragging about fixing a problem that you created…

here is a floof for today's #BirdofTheDay #BirdsOnTwigs - not exactly sure what it is, but maybe a Bushtit? 1000mm effective, and a big crop. #Birds #EastCoastKin #WestCoastKin #Photography

Glad to see people talking about Penn Jillette. The 2024 interview was done by me. I found him to be a refreshingly reflective, self-critical individual who has remained curious and willing to evolve.

Dragonflies fun facts - Just one dragonfly can consume over 100 mosquitos in a day - Dragonflies can fly backwards - They have nearly 360° vision - Their wings inhibit bacterial growth due to their natural structures - They're actually beautiful

They get off to violating the consent of others. Not more complicated than that.

reading this my main thought is that the leavitt family appears to be a bunch of degenerates and this woman was unlucky to enter their orbit

Tom Cotton: Our military strikes are non-lethal and cause minimal discomfort. Until we return to finish them off.

“Try to take us on” Well, conservatives rn stand behind a pedophile president. Not exactly sure that’s the high ground.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Minneapolis stands up to ICE Minneapolis police chief warns officers: Stop unlawful force by ICE or lose your job Chief Brian O’Hara says he’ll fire city police officers if they don’t intervene when immigration agents use unlawful force. www.ms.now/news/minneap...

*youth pastor voice* Let me tell you kids about another carpenter who wasn’t very popular with the authorities

America hired a serial bakrupt man and allowed him to put Stephen Miller in charge of policy. His economic advisors are rewarded for sycophancy, and as a result, he started a trade war with China that backfired YUGELY. Let's talk about the viability of their "security strategy," shall we?

Trump is a very-very special Boy.

Anyway, if you're surprised at all about the SCOTUS decision, remember - Bush v Gore chose the president on such nakedly partisan grounds they put in the opinion that it couldn't be used as future precedent - Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito & Barrett all served on W's election legal team

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

::taps the sign::

In which Erick Erickson had to come up with a fictional hypothetical in which he is the victim just to oppose a despotic move of self-aggrandizement by the president.

Totally unprofessional to boot. These idiots have to announce how “tough” they are. This is not who you want leading military decisions, hasn’t been.

What a pack of fools we are. We threaten them, making it clear that we may not be a reliable ally. Then we get angry that they - quite understandably - don't want to rely on us as they rearm. Duh.

The word "eve" is doing a lot of work here in the Court's 'decision'

Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes. Congress should have him testify, and would've already if war-crime-sympathetic GOP didn't run it.

Runner up prize for peace medal enthusiasts.

declining empire.

Seditious conspiracy is the most serious crime charged for Jan. 6, with Oathkeepers and Proud Boys leaders convicted. Absurd accusations of sedition merely for saying troops should honor their oath and follow the law are not only meant to intimidate, they also aim to render the concept meaningless.

“Perfect ring” around the moon tonight.

This is the exact same excuse that U-852's Captain Eck gave in his war crimes trial for the Peleus Incident: that he was targeting the wreckage not the survivors (who just happened to be killed). He was found guilty and executed by firing squad. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Cops are great

I'm glad the "double tap" order is drawing justified outrage over this administration's murderous policy, but here's the thing: One dinky, easily intercepted boat that *might* have drugs on it poses exactly as much threat to U.S. security as a couple of survivors clinging to driftwood... Zero.

There's no legitimate purpose behind removing dual citizenships. But the ability to restrict the movement of citizens is one of the early goals of fascism. It makes it easier to stop people fleeing and punish dissidents. www.forbes.com/sites/virgin...
