The blacklisting of the 1940s and 1950s comprised both public and private efforts. Counterattack began publishing just a few months before the first Hollywood blacklist began in the midst of a House Un-American Activities Committee investigation. Senator Joseph McCarthy announced his dubious list…

I’ve had deep criticisms of some of the presidents who have served in the White House in my lifetime. But never did I think I‘d hear a president boasting about the quality of his signature in what was supposed to be serious a speech to the USA’s military brass.

Ummmmm guys I really think we need to think long and hard before abolishing the Schutzstaffel. Look, OK yes, sure, absolutely, there are SOME bad eggs. But, on the other hand, erm, have you considered that this is actually exactly like uhhhhhhhhh....USAID?

ok now that this information is useless, i present to you EJ antoni’s HS yearbook photo and quote which were provided to me when i was initially looking into his shady past:

What I would give for a completely honest, anonymous assessment of this appalling and ludicrous spectacle from the commanders in the room.

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

Data: Captain, I'm detecting some anomalies coming from a nearby star. Picard: Is it serious? Data: No, it's Tau Omicron.

imagine flying halfway around the world for a meeting that could’ve been an email and some guy with a hangover is just shouting at you that it’s against the rules to be fat or gay

(solemnly) You've had mail.

People saying the fascism we’re seeing is unprecedented, unimaginable etc miss the larger point. We‘re not experiencing anything new. We‘re experiencing an *expansion* of existing realities targeting Black people especially. Until we get that, we’ll miss how to fight US fascism at its core.

Federal judge, appointed by Reagan, in 161-page opinion today in deportation matter: "There’s the issue of masks... To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police"

Rimbombo [rim-BOM-bo] (n.) - A deep loud reverberation; a deeply resonant or thunderous sound; a booming noise. Used in a sentence: “He perched, tightened, and prayed for discreet flatulence, but his wooden chair betrayed him with a resonant rimbombo, bringing the restaurant to a startled hush.”

WOW. Remember this May video of a US citizen wrestled to the ground by ICE agents and detained for an hour despite having a valid REAL ID? It gets worse. Two weeks later, ICE did it AGAIN — handcuffed him and detained him for 20 minutes despite his REAL ID. Now the Institute for Justice is suing.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

this is, no exaggeration, some of the most loser shit i have ever seen in my life

If you think you’re having a crap day, take comfort in knowing there are multi-star Generals who were ordered to fly halfway around the world to listen to a nut job drone on about his election numbers.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Exhibit A at The Hague just dropped

1/ DEVELOPING: A journalist was rushed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital following another incident with an ICE agent at 26 Federal Plaza, an immigration court in NYC. The last I heard, he was getting X-rays for his lower back.

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

👇🏽😳

I’m still processing what happened this morning. Is it now the administration’s position that the U.S. military does not observe or adhere to the laws of war?

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95% So technically, yeah.

DAVID CROSS: “.. I’ve been asked for my opinion on the Riyadh Comedy Festival .. it should go without saying that there’s not enough money for me to help these depraved, awful people put a ‘fun face’ on their crimes against humanity.” officialdavidcross.com/blogs/press/...

Khanna: "We have to understand how abnormal this is. You don't mock someone and put a video out about how they look. You don't ever mock people's ethnicity. How do you negotiate with that? And how have we made this normal?"

Me: (hearing a god-awful sound nearby) “Jesus Christ on a popsicle stick, it sounds like they’re just yeeting 500 pound chunks of concrete into a dump truck” My partner: (looking amazed) “they’re tearing up the driveway next door, that’s exactly what it is” I am a connoisseur of annoying noise

The bees have discovered Brutalism

Stephen Miller, a man no one elected, is behind the Venezuelan boat strikes which have killed 17 people. He should not be making military decisions. He should not be executing strikes that take lives. Only silver lining? He has no immunity. He can (and should) be prosecuted for his crimes.

Eric Trump: "You're sitting there saying, 'Why can't I send hundreds of millions of dollars worth of bitcoin overseas instantly or receive it instantly with virtually no fees?' Bitcoin is the way of the future."

Hoooooo buddy

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

There have been 6 mass shootings in the USA over the past 24 hours. The casualty count stands at 41. Here’s the President of the United States of America.

really respect lewis hamilton for taking care of his dog. i feel like a lot of celebrities treat animals as playthings or accessories. or they buy an expensive breed and treat it as a status symbol. but he seemingly cared about his dog like a member of his family.

reader i cackled

Mike Johnson: "The WIC program, the nutrition program -- women, infants, and children -- that program won't be funded. FEMA won't be funded."

DOJ’s attempts to charge these cases in DC and LA have been resoundingly unsuccessful. Grand juries have rejected a huge proportion of the attempts to indict. One case in LA that went to trial as a misdemeanor recently ended in acquittal

LOL- if any bio founder says this short their company to zero. They don’t have a good grasp of genetics, where gene editing is, commercializing new tech, regulations, what happened in past attempts at editing kids genes, and timelines in biotech, among other things.

In a stunning violation of OPSEC, we’ll be announcing to our adversaries when and where all of our top military leaders will be. Doesn’t seem Pete learned much from Signalgate. His incompetence is staggering.

Matt Walsh advocates for mass murdering people with schizophrenia by convicting them of who knows what and then killing them. This is political violence btw.

Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

i think we need to have a fucking chat about how bystanders "documenting" this shit on their phones instead of doing literally anything to help is, at this point, about as helpful as shoving their thumbs way up their asses

Over the weekend, we received reports of federal agents from ICE and Customs abusing their power. And now, we're being told the Trump Administration wants to deploy 100 military troops to Illinois. One thing is clear — none of this is making Illinois safer.

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.
