Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

real Blueskyism has never been tried

I had to travel last week due to a death in the family and it is just surreal to see Kristi Noems face on TSA videos. Like… it just doesn’t look real, like she’s not a real human being.

“Don’t take the bait” is being stroturfed by the same networks attempting to push the “everything is a distraction from Epstein” narrative that has coalesced and been mainstreamed in center right neoliberal circles over the last month or two.

A veteran protester, standing at the edge of the road, is shoved backward by a DHS GOON.

When a frogs car breaks down he gets it toad

i do think that’s where a lot of the obvious resentment for the userbase comes from. 90% of us on here doesn’t really care about the primary reason why this place exists but use his place out of sheer convenience

My take on the "Why haven't Bsky banned Jesse Singal yet" thing: Months ago, when he joined the site, I wrote little explainers of what's called "Behaviour on Platform". The operators of any UCHISP do not have (and, pointedly, cannot have) the ability and opportunity to parse the things that (1/?)

“‘I’m leaving,’ Trump said. ‘There’s no reason to be here any more’”: inside the meeting that brought Nato to the brink www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

it remains really funny that this site was spun up to be a crypto/rationalist platform and then old time weird twitter people and others started moving over here in spring 2023 and ever since management has been mad they're successful but not in the way they wanted

“The source told CBS News that [Kash Patel and Dan Bongino] asked for "large, beefy" agents to conduct an arrest of Comey "in full kit," including Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo.” The leadership of the FBI is now in the hands of infantile psychopaths.

90% of the ATF agents I see stuck with DHS guys look near suicidal.

I just watched someone get arrested for telling ICE agents to kill themselves.

Stephen Miller said last year this was the plan. They said it out loud. Some of us highlighted his remarks at the time and warned how dangerous they were. Most of the media missed them and/or moved on from them. It’s happening:

lmao of course

“How can Portland POSSIBLY stand against the might of the federal government?!” “Let me introduce you to our frog.”

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

Dickbrain didn't even think to use "In The Navy"

this is my political affiliation now

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Truly, I do not think people talk nearly enough about what a mf monster King Leopold II of Belgium was. Like very consequential levels of horrific historical bastardry. Upsetting af levels. Huge POS. Huge.

“Musk’s data centers will probably bring in only a few hundred jobs to Memphis while consuming millions of gallons of water a day and more electricity than is needed to power all the city’s homes.” 1/2 www.wsj.com/tech/elon-mu...

super straight edge vampire who is scared to even suck your blood after you smoke weed. what if she gets high? what if she gets in trouble??

SCOTUS is in the bag for using trump when it serves their faux-ethno-christian agenda they dont want to lose their own power, but think they can ride him without losing it (they will eventually be wrong)

Penis penis penis penis penis

Yarvin getting his dissent in so he can flee to Hungary and tell people true fascism’s never been tried

Since Jordan Peterson's back in the hospital I'd like to take a moment to remember his highlights

I hope Jordan Peterson has a speedy recovery

this is our Tiananmen Square Tank Man

Choose your fighter:

Where are the commanding officers of those sailors in the background. How are they letting this happen?

This shit must hit so hard if you’re stupid.

Stolen valor here as Trump seems to take credit for … 9/11?

what

“Fuck your e pluribus unum” is one hell of a hell of a sentiment to be coming from the secretary of defense of, uh, the United States of America

Trump: "On June 14 next year we're gonna have a big UFC fight at the White House, right at the White House, on the grounds of the White House."

i believe raw meat cures everything and that it's a good idea to quit benzos cold turkey by going into a medically induced coma. why is everyone i love always sick and dying?

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

somehow they managed to do the free press but worse

Catch-22 is The Castle of 1984s.

look i know this word gets bandied about in all kinds of bad faith shitty ways but can people please refrain from doing such embarrassingly straightforward antisemitism in my replies here

They're both racist ethnonationalists, but Trump's "I want to be the guy who makes deals" schtick is running headlong into Netanyahu's stance of "Any deal means I lose my right-wing flank, my coalition collapses, and I go prison."

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

These people were enslaved as laborers for a call center soliciting church donations in case you’re wondering the exact level of where we went wrong as a human species

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Every day I log on and just see endless videos of ICE agents breaking state, federal, and international laws.

Pritzker needs to take some sort of demonstrative action against this. But nothing he does will stop this. Still, liberal voters and elected leaders are confronted by the fact that the police are not democratically accountable. They have no interest in protecting you or your rights from the feds.

None of this seems good for our country

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military. They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.
