LAPD operates the largest municipal law enforcement air fleet in the nation. 17 helicopters, 90 personnel, costing $128,000 per day ($50m annually). 16,000 flight hours 762,000 gallons of fuel producing 7,400 metric tons of CO₂ annually. 61% of flights are unrelated to high-priority incidents. 🌎♻️

Incidentally, LAPD is turning and burning these helicopters at a ridiculous rate. At ~940 hours/year per airframe, their utilization rate is nearly 4x that of most military units. They’re redlining the fleet’s cycle-to-hour ratio just to maintain a constant loiter above Black neighborhoods.

a Bain cowboys jersey will get really old at record speed, please no

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

A message from the team ❤️

Oh this rules

I used to like concerts before I realized I don't like people.

I think the funniest part of the NFL draft is watching Hayes fawcett go full proud dance mom for guys he’s never met

"A witness tells us they snapped the pic when they recognized Vrabel ... and assumed at the time that the woman by his side was his wife based on their body language. They didn't realize until the recent bombshell news that the lady was actually Russini." www.reddit.com/r/nfl/commen...

Dianna Russini is the sloppiest jersey girl

I asked my Republican colleagues to explain why they want to ban the IRS from providing an online tool that ALREADY EXISTS to allow people to file their taxes for free. *Silence* Every Republican voted against @gluesenkampperez.house.gov's amendment to allow the IRS to offer Direct File.

Alex Jones yesterday, April 22nd of 2026, is once again saying the Sandy Hook massacre was a false flag done by "professional shooters." It is imperative we take over that studio as soon as possible.

Beat the hell out of political reps who vote while we sleep

Ok grapes & grapefruits: enjoy some million dollar sleep. Maybe dream a little dream of……………………… 2 million?

REPORTER: I just want to make sure I understand. You're alleging that the Southern Poverty Law Center was paying the leaders of KKK and other groups? BLANCHE: I'm not alleging it. The grand jury returned an indictment that says that

Excellent time to remind people to learn about the eugenics crusade of wealthy Americans of the late 1800s/early 1900s youtu.be/vmRb-0v5xfI?...

unbelievable

you know that feeling, the one where your copy of the Calgorithm book arrives in your hour of greatest need

Two Pentagon spokespersons said on Tues AM that they were unable to field questions on why the 15 casualties disappeared. “As soon as the duty officer comes back to their desk, I can get this to them,” said one of them @theintercept.com is still waiting for a reply theintercept.com/2026/04/22/i...

What LeBron is doing in this series at 41 is just amazing.

80 year old congressman David Scott has died after serving in the House for 23 years. He is the fourth Democratic congressperson age 70+ to die in office since 2025.

they are calling it the perfect summary of the "keep men out of women's sports" movement

Howard Lutnick doesn’t understand the concept of consent in a market, which he probably learned on Epstein Island

My most liberal idpol radlib take is that I think it's pretty bad that right wing forces are actively intervening on behalf of the Klan with the full weight of the state legal apparatus

$45.86. Thats 26.14 for the Oregon UW score this year, + 19.72, the year Ted Bundy graduated from the University of Washington with a psychology degree @edsbs.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social @jasonkirk.fyi @celebrityhottub.bsky.social @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social @newap-georgia.bsky.social

It’s not the White Lotus Duke meme but it will do

ICE is developing its own model of smart glasses www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

In public, the chief justice loves talking about how the Supreme Court’s work is not political. Memos published by The New York Times show just how political the Supreme Court’s work actually is.

White guys with white hair love coal so much

WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein? KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

Concentration camps. If objective is to close camps, voters must view them as vile & without any merit. Many voters believe "detention facilities" are necessary for law/safety. Plus they fit legal definition of concentration camps (which is NOT same as extermination camps.)

Agreed entirely. The ICE "detention facilities" *are* concentration camps - literally facilities concentrating civilians deemed 'unwanted' and 'enemies' of the U.S. state, in violation of their basic human rights. The history of concentration camps is longer & more common than most people know.

End the Epstein class

Washington ordered smallpox inoculations for the Continental Army beginning in 1777. Hegseth, therefore, is taking a mid-18th century, pre-Industrial Age approach to medicine and warfare.

Outstanding news

How interesting that super right wing ardent Catholic (and all around hideous dangerous person) Leonard Leo has been suspiciously quiet on Trump and Vance's attacks on Pope Leo. churchandstate.org.uk/2022/05/leon...

“We know very well what we oppose; what are we for? That is a question that I think we have to be able to answer: what are we fighting for?”

I love the international agreement that we do not fire on ships carrying duty free Toblerone

My favorite day of the internet was when Queen Elizabeth died. Never seen such global unity or shared joy. The Irish won the internet forever that day. I cannot wait until cheeto sausagefingers kicks the bucket, it will be Liz x100
