The president's got dementia and none of his syncophants can say anything because he's their meal ticket.

Is he angling for the Mayorship or a presidential pardon? unclear.

Unlike 30 day wonder ICE agents, Lori Lightfoot actually has policing experience, so buckle up because the charges on any extrajudicial violence are going to stick.

To be fair, these law enforcement officers did cause one New Yorker to move from her ready-to-jaywalk position into the crosswalk. So, uh, mission accomplished?

34 dead in what certainly looks like acts of international piracy

"Gunfire erupted" is such a silly way to describe this. An incompetent shot his US Marshal colleague while attempting to intimidate a motorist.

I had to look up what foid meant in the incel context (to me, it's the gun card). F.emale human.oid. The AI search results helpfully explained to me that it's meant as extreme derogatory - thanks Google, no translation required, that part came through loud and clear.

"So much for the tolerant left!" was probably common last words for 3rd SS Panzer troops.

It's beginning to look like Trump's taken us to Weimar-a-Lago out here. Unequal protections from political violence isn't even like... the first step into fascism. It's pretty close to the cliff's edge.

I never report on anything coming from this WH before I see docs Here’s tooted Australia-US “$8B deal”. “Participants commit to work in good faith to develop new or strengthen existing authorities and diplomatic tools that review and deter critical minerals and rare earths asset sales.” + THIS ⬇️

The Federal Building looks like the Bastille right now. Rigged for war for no announced reason.

I don't know who needs to hear this... but don't pistol whip stuff with the safety off in a crowded-ass city. Actually don't pistol whip at all, WTF, you have tools for that. Also, what an awful headline, you could easily walk away thinking somebody other than an ICE agent is gunning down feds.

Oh hell yeah!

Rough. Hoping Rivian can stick the landing with their commercial rollout, but I hardly ever see non-Amazon Riv vans, and I live in basically the ideal market for them.

An excellent article by @femalesinmsport.bsky.social about our little community :) go give it a read! www.femalesinmotorsport.com/post/if-it-h...

Dope!

*waiting for the laughs in undisguised excitement*

LOL there's jackasses like me who are really terrible journalists with shit-house gear... The cool part is we still get legal protections!

Based.

Wowzers! The president hand-picked hatchet-woman also apparently has no idea how interactions with the press work, despite being famously fond of highly publicized trials. (She was only ever defense, and you can argue publicity helps defend, not prosecute tho) www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Financial crisis, you say?

most people don't want politics that hurt other people. we just want a long overcoat like david bowie and affordable housing

Finally, some good news! I watched one. It totally rocks.

I hate that we need a hereditary office-holder to tell us this, but he's definitely right.

Bloomington-Normal showed up. Gawd, they've even riled up EV Town USA, the most Midwestern nice town in America!

Parked near the massive No Kings protest yesterday in downtown Albuquerque. Clearly an Antifa staff vehicle.

Trump finally beat Obama for crowd size 💜

Antifo terror cell leads radical leftist riot, DHS to investigate on Monday:

If you didn't catch No Kings Protest in Chicago... General vibe: Positive, fun, a big and diverse crowd. Lots of flags. Pride flags. Chicago flags. Mexico flags. Chicago Pride flags. Most common by far: American flags. Follow me for more local yokel Chicago news coverage.

@bluesmobile.bsky.social Hey I think I saw you at the No Kings protest!

Spotted in my hometown among thousands. I couldn't get a follow-up quote but I am assuming that it is Giordano's brand "deep dish dissent."

I'm putting up a fiver that this is true.

😂😭

This week’s “Photos of the Week” compilations will be truly dark. @reuters.com @gettyimages.com

See, the Epstein Files *do* have an impact. Let's see all of them. I feel like there is more to it than just the Duke of York -- or, I'm sorry, Andy the not-welcome-around-children

He sang Rod Stewart, danced — and then ICE grabbed him. @timmiller.bsky.social talks with @roadsteamer.bsky.social about his detention in Portland

on today's episode of imperial decline

Sharks for democracy

Timeline cleanse. Pink sunset and a beach full of kelp left behind by the tide. 🤙🏻

The rule of law still exists. Federal gestapo can grab you off the street, but only a jury of your peers can convict you of whatever Trumped up bullshit they accuse you of. For the feds the trouble is, jurors in Chicago have eyes. We believe what we are seeing, not what we are hearing.

I laughed out loud, 0-60 in 3 from this master pizza chef

I'm so glad *this* is the automotive news story that broke through today

"women don't like the vehicle" is like the biggest understatement of all time fuelarc.com/evs/teslas-u...

This is my favorite post of all time

Absolutely barbaric intersection of Cybertruck ownership, incel culture, and accidental cringe comedy JFC

As a reminder, the (very real) opioid epidemic was not caused by open borders as claimed. The (very real) opioid epidemic was caused by the Sackler family's unchecked greed. Trump's DOJ knows this and is involved day-to-day on the Perdue Pharma settlement. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Of all the towns to invade, why'd the Feds pick Chicago?
