I can’t get over all the journalists and centrist pundits who sneered that “Twitter isn’t real life” when it was full of weird leftists but now insist it’s a vital window into the public mood when the entire site is Nazis, illegal porn, bots, and Belarusians calling themselves “Iowa MAGA Farm Guy”

ICE Cincinnati Field Office Director Samuel Saxon, 47, and his partner moved to Cincinnati about a year and a half ago. Since that time, Cincinnati Police had been called to the two places they've lived 23 times.

We didn't use to need visas because travel was expensive and dangerous. Now that the poor can travel wherever they wish at least sometimes, and knowledge of foreign countries is open and free, restrictions need to be draconian and artificial

These are incredible. Worth clicking thru to the gallery and blocking everything else out for a few minutes. ☮️

Regarding today’s shooting in Minneapolis, recall that in mid-October a federal agent shot and almost killed D.C. driver Phillip Brown under similar circumstances. The agent claimed Brown was driving towards him as he tried to flee from a police stop.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

I have now seen two separate AI reconstruction pictures of Renee Good’s murderer and they are different, which tells you that they’re not good and you should stop sharing them.

Gotta make it easier for RFK to get his rhino horn boner pills.

Imagine being surrounded by 6 armed men all shouting conflicting orders while they wrestle with your door and think how level headed you’d be

Yes exactly. If protesters stand in front of cars, it’s fine to kill them, if someone is *inside* a car, then it’s fine for law enforcement standing in front of them to shoot them in the face.

Guys this is deranged. The Consultant Democrats are hopeless, utterly incapable of meeting the moment

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...

In English: The NLRB and Third Circuit ordered the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette to provide certain health insurance benefits; the paper’s owner tried to get a SCOTUS shadow docket order stopping that; when that failed, they announced they were closing the paper.

When the NYT asks to use your footage:

Here are two key frames of the video. (Changed language on the first notation.)

balancing out the Texas A&M news: I do not regret to inform you that we are going win

“Maybe tomorrow.”

If you're reporting on the deepfake porn site because of Grok, please make clear in the headline that governments not acting are allowing the scaled abuse of women and children online. Don't say Grok is doing that harm. Grok isn't doing anything. It's human men who are doing these things.

I don’t think that term means what you think it means.

New: I spoke with a Colombian asylum seeker who was the victim of a ‘Kavanaugh stop’ about what it was like to be racially profiled, abducted in front his family and held in ICE detention hours from home for more than a month—despite doing everything “the right way.” This is Nick’s story.

Nice of the NYT Spelling Bee to acknowledge this anniversary honestly

Blues great & Sinners cameo star Buddy Guy recently reflected on the movie & its impact on him & it’s just 🥹🥰 “This wasn’t just acting. This was telling a story that feels like home to me.” What a beautiful film of love & legacy Ryan has created 🫶🏾

Wow. We’re playing all of the hits this week, aren’t we? The original was done by Bay of Pigs and then covered by Collapse of the USSR followed up by Dead Castro. Will Kidnapped Maduro’s version make it into the top 40? We’ll check in with Ryan Seacrest after this break.

I’ll try, but I was a solid C student wrt English They Rage Against the Machine

One of the most lopsided results you'll ever see in a poll, from our weekend Washington Post poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Once again, I implore media outlets to stop saying these are CDC decisions. These are changes being made unilaterally by RFK Jr. against the expert advice of CDC scientists. I note that RFK Jr. no longer recommends flu vaccine for kids in the midst of a horrible influenza year.

*hits the stairmaster every day* Yeah, I’m doing Thigh January.

I’m directing a one act play of “The Necklace”. Yeah, I’m doing Guy de Maupassant January.

Once again: This is an ongoing influence op being run by Russian intelligence against NATO & the EU that began with targeting the highly credulous ignoramus Tom Cotton who failed to vet the forged letter & instead took the idea right to Trump.

RFK Jr has hired a familiar face to assure us all that his vaccine schedule is totally normal and not part of his plan to ensure a steady supply of HDP

@clapifyoulikeme.favrd.social my crossword streak was only for Sundays, but I forgot to do it yesterday. 😭 may I have 1 (one) empathy please? Ty

That’s the ultimate sin to these people: failure to show deference to dear leader.

O.M.G. I saw the pictures, now I want to hear the flute accompaniment

Pretty hard to square this with freezing the Gang of Eight out for "security".

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

The telecommunications act of 1996 inadvertently killed this kind of lineup. Do a search if you’re interested.

A must-read message from Colin and Sophie Hortman, Mark and Melissa's children:

Saying this basically got Norm Ornstein from the American Enterprise Institute blacklisted on Sunday morning shows.

If it [doesn’t] bleed, it [doesn’t] lead.

And what’s the lesson here

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

Another night of this bullshit. Not going into details this time though
