money talks bullshit walks

On this day in 1940, Boston’s Paul Revere statue was unveiled! Around 8,000 people gathered to watch the big reveal, including the statue’s sculptor, 79-year-old Cyrus Dallin. He had waited 55 years since a committee had first selected his design to see the statue displayed.

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

OUR ENEMIES ARE COWARDS AND WE ARE GOING TO DEFEAT THEM!

Not really the biggest issue here, but does Tom Homan just get to keep $50,000 of the FBI’s cash now?

The tough guy raging about throwing “criminals” out of the country took a $50,000 bribe 🤯🤯🤯

In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.

24 hours cholulu update

Media execs have fallen prey to a propaganda and harassment campaign that has completely divorced them from what people actually want right now. Both their insular information environments (group chats, podcasts) and ambient noise (Twitter reactionaries) have put them in a very stupid bubble.

Would be nice if reporters at mainstream outlets started pointing out that the right’s “law and order” routine is absolute nonsense.

embarrassing

The old “blow up every H1-B visa at 6pm on a Friday” strategy. The grand master makes his move.

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition. www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside...

Last week, Kilmeade said homeless people with mental health issues should be given an "involuntary lethal injection, or something," adding "just kill them." Took him five days to offer an undercooked apology.

This is my big argument

One thing we've noticed is that ICE agents in Massachusetts are increasingly filming/photographing community watch verifiers who come up to vehicles.

Gabe Newell I have a congressional testimony to show you

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

I'll say this again: In my opinion, when companies and institutions cave to Trump despite the law being on their side, they are not misunderstanding the law; they are making an educated guess that the United States is heading in a direction where, in practice, the law won't matter.

/2 However, I think ABC firing Kimmel following Carr’s threats makes a plausible case for a First Amendment violation. It should survive a motion to dismiss at least.

I think the answer is that the government directly threatening ABC to force a firing would be a First Amendment violation but ABC being cowardly assholes complying in advance in their moronic quest to satisfy Trump is not.
