This is the first time I’ve heard of an ICE officer facing consequences for their actions. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-off...

Damn. Kimmel met the moment for sure. That segment will wind up in the Library of Congress one day.

Family values? 🤨

This is high art.

In an era where right wing populism is on the rise, Brazil remains a bright spot. Very illuminating interview here with President Lula from the always great Amna Nawaz. youtu.be/WOphjNanaiM?...

I have a friend that recently said it’s not the job of the media to tell you if a claim is “unproven” or “without evidence.” Actually, IT IS. It’s a lie of omission to do otherwise.

New rule: you don’t get to ban something unless you can pronounce it.

How about that? It turns out boycotts work. abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/...

Very powerful song about persevering through dark times. It’s been getting me through. open.spotify.com/track/2lXGcs...

I guess when it’s your own poll, you kinda have to tell people the results.

The pressure is building. apple.news/ANZLvsCOWSbG...

Things are going to get worse, before they get better.

I think the free speech defenders on the right have a decision to make. If they were honestly making the argument all these years, will they have the courage to stand by that conviction? reason.com/2025/09/18/d...

So Mullen accused the fired CDC director of lying about a meeting that he said was recorded. Then when it was pointed out that the committee has a right to any materials referenced during the meeting, he snuck out and told reporters he was “mistaken.” 🙃 youtu.be/VDCxI1lV-2A?...

But are they going to go on strike or just virtue signal about it?

There is hope. I’m not a fan of Omar at all, but this is just getting ridiculous. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

The part of this story that I think is the most important is that Trump threatened to pull ABC’s licenses, which he has talked about doing before. This cannot be ignored. The Dems need to make serious hay with this. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

🎥 Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D) told the DOJ, once again, to “jump in the Gulf of Maine” after it sued her state for refusing to share private voter data. Check out what Bellows had to say about the department’s unprecedented demands👇

I agree with this completely.

The administration is losing more than it’s winning, imo. That is why they are squeezing all the juice out of Charlie Kirk’s death. It’s their attempt to rally the base with one last war cry (a literal war cry in some cases) before it all fizzles out. People can’t live like this for much longer.

Where is this church and how can I join?

From the same people that proved that immigrants commit fewer crimes on average than citizens, here is another study showing the left commits fewer acts of political violence than the right. In case anyone is counting.

The overwhelming majority of political violence is still committed by the right, and I expect that to continue, unfortunately. patricemersault.substack.com/p/the-deadly...

“Charlie Kirk was a martyr for free speech, and if anyone disagrees, they should be fired from their jobs and canceled ASAP” ——MAGA today

Looks like the Colorado shooter was a white supremacist. Why am I not surprised? www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/c...

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

What if it turns out that they can't find Kirk's killer because all the FBI agents that normally do that kind of work have been reassigned to rounding up immigrants?

This is why I continue to work with orgs like @projectliberal.org Political violence should be condemned no matter who does it.

Also, right wing media is saying that the "liberal media" was silent on the Charlotte lightrail stabbing. Actually, ALL national media was silent on it until recently, including FOX. There is no conspiracy, that's just how the news works. (Screenshot is first two weeks after the stabbing)

The saddest thing about Iryna Zarutska's death is that MAGA only cares because of how she died. Trump tried to deport Ukrainian refugees until courts intervened. Before she got onto the train, she was just another free-loading asylum-seeker they had to remove ASAP. www.forbes.com/sites/andyjs...

So because POTUS just haaaad to be at the US Open, the extra security has caused delays and hundreds of people that probably paid over a thousand dollars for a ticket will probably miss the first set. Not hard to see why the network is prepared for a booing crowd.

So glad he’s getting ratio’d for this. It’s not like POTUS just murdered 11 people extrajudiciously or anything.

I’m glad I got to see this exhibit before they hid it under the floorboards.

It turns out that Rand Paul is a garbage human being, actually. thehill.com/policy/healt...

Apple News is going hard with the headlines these days. Yeesh.

This story is crazy but not uncommon in small towns. A local booster club was targeted by the school district and even though a grand jury found no evidence that the group did anything wrong, a judge sided with the district anyway. texasscorecard.com/local/moms-a...

Kinda funny that red states are getting hurt by this administration and they’re not even doing anything to stop it. apple.news/AZ6XZCLClQMm...

Just what we need right now. 😬 www.nbcwashington.com/news/health/...

I think hell just froze over. 🙃

A big reason Americans are so divided is because we don’t know as much about each other as we think we do. We need more empathy and communication, and less atomization and consumable media.

It is never unreasonable to be open to the possibility of Trump doing anything right. It is unreasonable, however, to expect it.

FORTUNE COOKIE I CHOOSE YOU

Great video of a German American that normally does videos about German culture and language. She looks at German media, left and right, and polls of the German people. The tl;dr: Germans have basically lost faith in America as a partner and it's really sad. youtu.be/Y50Lnx2dWm4?...

Today is a good day. ✌️

It's crazy that the NPS chose to treat the Dragon Bravo Fire as a controlled burn—despite record low humidity and record high heat. The Governor of AZ has called for an investigation, and she is right. Read my latest article on this fiasco: thestandardnewspaper.online/dragon-bravo...

I literally just watched this episode last night. LoL

God help us if these monsters are not stopped.

This was encouraging to see!
