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.

A 6-year-old just lost his mother. A woman was shot in the face in front of her wife. The swift, lockstep attempt to dehumanize and villainize Renee Nicole Good might be the most depraved thing we've seen yet from these ghouls and their supporters. These people are utterly fucking dead inside.

cartel spokeswoman celebrates murder of American citizen

Are any of the idiots saying Dante Moore should go back to Oregon going to pony up for the difference between $2-3 million in NIL and $53 million guaranteed as second overall pick if and when he gets hurt in his extra college season?

MAGA extremist group claims credit for murder of dissident civilian by its paramilitary forces

After posting on the White House website just yesterday that Ashli Babbit was "murdered in cold blood," the administration states that the victim of the ICE shooting in Minnesota was justifiably killed as a "domestic terrorist."

"Trump's need to lash out is a sign of weakness. It’s something desperate people do. It’s something abusers do. It’s not actually something that strong people do." On the pod @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social is fantastic on Trump's hollow fantasy of national "strength": newrepublic.com/article/2049...

What is the justification for invading Venezuela to depose Maduro - killing dozens of people - and not say, Putin, or Orban, or Bukele, or Netanyahu, or any other horrendous world leader?

This is absolutely insane, Miller should immediately impeached and removed. The stain and damage left by these neo-nazis in the last year might never be repaired.

[Trump begins openly assassinating political opponents] SCHUMER: Once again Trump is trying to distract the American people from the rising price of eggs

Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

New Interview: www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

they all belong in prison, and john roberts deserves impeachment for the extralegal presidential immunity decision alone

for everyone who didn't live through John Kerry's presidential campaign, be advised: "This stupid and immoral war would be good if I were managing it" is not the poll-tested flex you think it is

Discworld QOTD, from Snuff "But what should we do when the highborn and wealthy take to crime? Indeed, if a poor man will spend a year in prison for stealing out of hunger, how high would the gallows need to be to hang the rich man who breaks the law out of greed?"

press coverage today should be clearly reporting that Trump is a mentally unstable extremist group leader who spent today leading an illegal military coup and fantasizing about imprisoning a government official who investigated his own violent coup attempt

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Any other country in the world would face crippling sanctions for what Trump is doing now

So happy to be raising my baby boy in a state that still believes in vaccination

every member of the trump administration who had any role in the invasion and coup in Venezuela belongs in prison for this, and it's not a close or ambiguous question

Trump illegally invaded Venezuela and kidnapped its president so he could steal its natural resources for the American oligarchs who’ve bribed him

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

you cannot blockade a country and bomb its capital cities and capture its leader without being at war with it, is the thing

maga hires are everything conservatives have always imagined "DEI hires" to be - unqualified, incompetent mediocrities with a victimhood complex chosen for their jobs for the color of their skin and politically correct right-wing views bari weiss, pete hegseth, pam bondi are all maga hires

This is not news or journalism Also, “last best hope” for what? Is Sweden falling into the abyss? Mexico? Like of all the major existential threats to the world - climate, poverty, disease, fascism - under Trump we have become one of the biggest contributors to those things getting worse

Bari Weiss’s mission statement is indistinguishable from what conservatives used to mock as Pravda, just explicitly pro-regime propaganda and reputation laundering

i hate the subscriptionization of things that used to be the default. obviously things like streaming were first - "you want the service you've always had ad-free? there's a new fee for that" but now it's creeping everywhere. i can't get food delivered on time without paying "priority" delivery

this is the most incredible interview i’ve ever read. the aei guy tries so hard to get sliwa to trash mamdani and he simply won’t. he also brings up flaco (rip) unprompted. www.wsj.com/opinion/free...

Tide Rolled

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Big fan of random audience member shouting “BROOKLYN” to bagels and lox

I am just so happy that we have a mayor who believes good things and built a movement on the idea that politics doesn’t have to mean that’s a bad thing

Watching Zohran speak and phew! Believing better things are possible is fundamental to my politics and I’m okay if that’s cheesy.

Have to imagine “abundance” was an intentionally chosen word there

as dumb as this headline is on its own, you can get miista boots for ~1/3 this price on poshmark, grailed, etc

[John Roberts standing in front of a painting of John Calhoun, tossing torn out pages of the constitution into a fire, getting ready to deploy crayons against the establishment clause]: we’re making the constitution great again

Happy New Year everyone! I have so many things to be thankful for, and I hope you all do too. And for all of us, I hope 2026 is a happier, healthier, safer, and more just year than the one we just left behind.

When Nick Shirley arrived to "test" if he could enroll his son "Joey" in Minneapolis day cares, his viral video omitted that he showed up with an entourage of masked men acting like security, multiple vehicles including vans, cameras, and men who wouldn't identify themselves. One day care owner /

trump waves white flag of surrender

these are the unhinged fantasies and ramblings of an old man who is not mentally well

is it just postmates that has gotten exponentially worse in delivery times over the last like 6-9 months (while jacking up fees) or are all delivery apps like that

idk i'm not a lawyer but i feel like shutting down an entire state's childcare payment federal dollars because a 23yo posted a tiktok feels like a certain lack of seriousness or due process

Framing Steve Banks - who spent that overwhelming majority of his career at Legal Aid Society and then the BdB Administration - as an “ex-Paul Weiss counsel” (where he left after the firm bent the knee to Donald Trump) is such a dumb editorial choice

It's hard to think of another policy that is so fundamentally a free lunch as congestion pricing is

"Guy in a diner" story, Dec 2025 edition. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/26/u... Somehow I've missed the profiles of people in Nashville / Austin / Houston / Kansas City MO / Charlotte / etc who have been gerrymandered out of "fair" representation.

Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, an unqualified extremist and partisan hack who was rammed through by Senate Republicans to a lifetime federal appellate judgeship, knew about and spiked the prosecution of a Trump administration official who brazenly took tens of thousands of dollars in bribes

Incredible lol

Can’t believe how small of a world it is from Diana working on the Obama campaign while we were at UF to running for office in NYC today

Was skeptical at first but asked my wife to read it and this is exactly what the paper says, with the caveat that this paper is the Russian tabloid equivalent of the National Inquirer or New York Post

Trumpers have a howling void of angry insecurity where a soul should be. Unchecked power tastes like ashes in their mouth because they thought when they got it everyone would be forced to like and admire them even though they’re irredeemable assholes. But people still treat them like assholes.
