I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Pam Bondi is so transparent, you can see right through her

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Trump has never sounded guiltier than this and that's a high bar

Just posting this. Everyone knows why.

a lot of people in this country voted to terrorize my neighborhood and my neighbors. a lot of institutions and leaders decided that was cool. don't know what else to say.

This film is on a maddening loop

Swear her in.

“…the gate that must be opened to let the meaning through.”

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

Ted Cruz is now speaking at the press conference in Dallas and suggesting that rhetoric critical of ICE and Democrats calling Republicans fascist is responsible for the shooting today at an ICE facility -- despite there being no evidence of this

Any attempt to force artists, writers, creators, musicians... to only express themselves in pre-approved, limited ways will be futile. It goes against the very nature of art.

“All have done well.”

Deeply unsurprised by this news—if you hadn’t started making your TikTok exit plans in January, best start making them now

“…there are vines whose tendrils split cathedral walls.”

this is why i think the algorithm is to blame for so much of our split vision reality right now. a simple idea -- "show people only what they want to see, to maximize their time on our platform" -- has ripped a canyon in our culture.

Please don't forget, and don't let anyone else forget, they did this openly.

But don’t call them Nazis.

This was just last month and we have already memoryholed it. A cop killed by an antivaxxer.

It’s a sick society that lets corporations make millions off a man’s ideals while his widow begs for crumbs. I wonder how much Ridley Scott has donated.

This show sure is putting asterisks on some peoples’ resumes.

In addition to creating a joyous event, Zohran Mamdani just showed the stupidity of Fox News's "Crime is so bad in New York City, people are afraid to go out in the street or take the subway!!!"

One crucial front in the war against fascism will be the right to photograph police. The cops have always hated that right and they and their various lickspittles will push back at it at every turn.

Dobson was right about something: The physical abuse and emotional repression of children is indeed a somewhat reliable system for creating the fearful, reactionary, superficially-obedient adults that Dobson wanted in the world.

Eichmann in the YMCA. It’s fun to stay at the Emm Ayy Gee Ayy.

Allyship, baby

Big news out of Florida tonight! An environmental challenge has brought the use of the Everglades detention camp to a halt.

“Stranger, pass by that which you do not love.”

People are STILL minimizing b/c the worst hasn't happened. Sure, DC now has military checkpoints, but isn't crime bad there? Sure, people are being dragged away by goon squads, but aren't they mostly illegal? Sure, universities and the media are being strong-armed, but aren't they too liberal?

An epitaph that simply reads, “There will be time enough.”

“First, something extraordinary has to happen. Somebody has to see it. And then somebody has to write about it.”

“The Thing” used to refer to a comic book character, but nowadays it just refers to that Thing everyone wants to happen

“Strippers, Popes, and Kings.”

I'm never get over the fact that this administration's war on trans people is being carried out with the pretext of "protecting women and girls" while the president is a pedophile rapist.

If you put the DOGE guys on a desert island where the only way out was to say the magic words “I’m not sure what the answer is, let me consult someone who has worked on this problem for a long time” they would all starve to death

A list of sailors’ names for the winds.

Deepfakes at Bernie’s

iPhononym: labubu/panini.

A group of errors is called a comedy.

“It’s a flaw in the human condition, that as long as we see someone as a monster, we don’t really care what happens to them.”

We really are just going full speed Third Reich v2.0 aren’t we

“This book is an invention, an act of the imagination, and in no way should be mistaken for reality, the place where much good invention originates.”

Knowing that tonight, all over the world, people are playing Ozzy and Sabbath tunes, LOUD, makes me feel warm inside.

Trump is trying to convince people that Obama and Biden made up fake evidence implicating him in the Epstein case, inserted it in the file, and then KEPT IT COMPLETELY SECRET It’s completely nonsensical

No one will be fooled by this. People are asking for the release of the evidence from the Epstein investigation. The grand jury transcripts are something else entirely and would exclude almost all evidence.

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.
