Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

yup

Why are the men’s names redacted and the victims names exposed?

“Praying it was fake” Listen to yourself, man

Sen. Elissa Slotkin is refusing to voluntarily comply with the Justice Department investigation into that video she organized urging U.S. military members to resist illegal orders. Slotkin's legal team is requesting Jeanine Pirro preserve all relevant documents for "anticipated litigation."

This is so infuriating. They know exactly what they're doing with this headline. They're whipping up the mob to fuel further anti trans hate despite this not being an example of trans women competing in women's sports.

If you won’t say this, you should not hold public office

Probably just a coincidence, right?🤷‍♀️

Lackawanna County (PA) Commissioners will consider county ordinance barring ICE, CBP cooperation www.thetimes-tribune.com/2026/02/04/g...

Boy it would be awful if foreign governments did their own investigation; and didn't protect wealthy child rapists, while not protecting the privacy of victims, like some other governments I could mention.

When is the last time you were diagnosed with polio or smallpox. Vaccines work and they save lives.

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

Rep. Ro Khanna is a fiery torch in this bleak moral darkness.

Ron Johnson: "Republicans are trying to make sure that only legitimate votes count"

Apparently Greg Bear and Greg Benford were invited to an Epstein-funded conference by Marvin Minsky, Epstein had no idea who they were, and Epstein's buddy Lawrence Krauss complained to Epstein that they talked too much. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

To everyone just now finding out Isaac Asimov was rather famously a sex pest: He's been gone 34 years now, you can handle this truth, I believe in you

Every president from Nixon on released their tax returns, but Trump -- who insisted he would follow that custom -- repeatedly refused to do that. So finally they were leaked, showing he paid only $750 in 2016 and nothing in 2017. He's now demanding all of us, who *did* pay our full taxes, pay him.

🚨 Tell your Senators to vote NO on the GOP’s so-called “SAVE” Act”, which would: Require continuing voter purges w/ NO PENALTY for erroneous purges. Subject election officials to potential PRISON TIME & citizen suits for mistakenly registering a single voter—even if the voter is a citizen! 1/

Walkers Spanish Chicken Paella (2010-2010): Part of the "Flavour Cup" promotion in the UK, coinciding with the World Cup and featuring country-specific flavors, these potato crisps/chips were made to taste like the Spanish chicken & rice dish, with notes of roasted chicken, paprika, and onion

Wow?

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Bannon knows that deploying ICE to the polls constitutes illegal voter intimidation. So why is he encouraging Trump to break the law? Because he also knows this threat will work to suppress votes even if federal agents never get anywhere near the polls. The fear of ICE is enough to keep people home.

“We want to do Nazi stuff but women gonna nag us about it, lol,” thinks subhuman Elon Musk

Again, I know everyone wants to yell at The Democrats & Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jefferies, but there are 10-25 people in Washington who could literally end all of this tomorrow, & none of them are Democrats, & they continue to get 24/7 free passes for being absolute oath-violating cowards. Focus.

FWIW, the only way I'd trust a billionaire to "help" save one of these legacy news orgs is if they bought it, transferred ownership to a worker-owned collective of actual journalists (not right wing Substackers), and walked away. About as likely to happen as a cop arresting an ICE agent, so...

I do wonder, if this passes, if there’s a viable state constitutional claim somewhere.

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

I can't speak to whether it is actually bortac and whether it is actually mortar launchers but I mentioned in my piece yesterday that I had witnessed tear gas being launched in the air in an arc over people's heads. This video I found on IG shows what I described

Here's a cartoon from, as you see, 1911. What Dr. Plait says is not new news.

This should be front page news. There should be hearings about it.

So, it turns out that the lone sold-out Lexington showing of "Melania" only happened because Rep. Andy Barr (who's running for Senate) bought all the tickets and gave them away... bit.ly/4qUE1e1

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

the Washington Post effectively blew up its arts section today, dismissing its books, TV, music, and theater critics, features writers, and several editors. (I'm also guessing the vacant film critic position will stay that way.) Just an insane loss of talent and a huge self-inflicted wound.

For the first time ever, a state AG has filed a lawsuit to force a hospital back into providing gender affirming care for transgender youth. Our writer, S. Baum, dove deep and spoke with families that helped make this happen. You're going to want to read our latest, incredible story.

Anyone who does this should not be let anywhere near children let alone teaching them

I don’t like this

Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever. Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

These guys two months ago: ha ha I hope there's a civil war we'll make those LIBERAL BITCHES cry for mercy These guys now: waaaaaa they're using whistles it's not FAIR waaaaa (You can get free community safety whistles, quantity 100 to 1000, from here: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles )

The only laws from God and Jesus about borders in the entire Bible, Old and New Testament, are the commandments to welcome the stranger and treat the alien as one of your own. Jesus Christ, how the MAGA hates Jesus Christ.

Common sense is to destroy it and salt the earth so nothing like it can ever grow again.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

1) we are going to win, etc 2) this is a dangerous point where regimes like this decide they can’t rely on the legitimate courts and start setting up some parallel system of tribunals, etc.

I am so tired of learning that phrases I've used my whole life are rooted in shitty shitty racism. I'm starting to feel like people get mad at the word "fuck" because they can't figure out how to twist it around to be a big ol' slice of racist asshole pie, and they're getting hungry.
