America 2025:

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second. We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

the JARHEAD sequels

AP: “.. the administration has only pointed to unclassified video clips of the strikes posted on social media by President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and has yet to produce ‘hard evidence’ that the vessels were carrying drugs.” @apnews.com apnews.com/article/trum...

THE ROAD (Pixar Studios, 2009)

Bondi claiming they arrested [checks notes] "the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa" has me in stitches

The "antifa army" that Noem stared down 😂😂😂

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

I love when Andy Ngo does one of his David Attenborough-style posts about Antifa and highlights some kid who took a bong rip and waddled into the protest dressed like a giant muppet. My favorite flavor of his commentary by far.

This South Side Weekly report on the Chicago building raid is well worth reading. Most striking to me are the indications of collusion between federal authorities and the building owner and management to effect a mass eviction at the blighted property. southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

Joe Pera Explains Medicare Privatization To You

David Bednar has a distinct "Duke from the movie MAJOR LEAGUE" vibe (laudatory)

WHY DO THEY KEEP MAKING MOVIES ABOUT THE HEIST JOB-PULLING MAGICIANS WITH JESSE FREAKING EISENBERG AS THE LOUCHE, "CHARISMATIC" DANNY OCEAN? WHO'S ASKING FOR THIS????

Man…man. www.texastribune.org/2025/10/07/t...

most "undercover operations" don't begin with the person in charge saying "I am sending out spies to do some spying" afaik—unless the goal is actually to freak out lefties and has nothing to do w/any information-gathering.

some good 🍵 right here

NEW from me: CBS News staffers literally rolled their eyes after new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss delivered a "cringey" rallying cry during today's editorial call, exclaiming: "Let's do the fucking news!" "She's cosplaying as a broadcast journalist," one said. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

seeing otherwise smart people share the story that a south carolina judge’s beach house was burned to the ground because of a ruling against trump despite there being no evidence of that has been frustrating. just because the other side has abandoned facts doesn’t mean we can, too.

aint that always the fucking way. wasn't this an element in the breonna taylor story too

this is the real legacy of Charlie Kirk

Weiss also suggested she’d be switching from a 4-3 to a 3-4 base coverage and simplifying the playbook. “I want you guys to be aggressive,” Weiss added

this is incredible

Every NFL team should be required to roster one longhaired Caucasian linebacker with a number in the 40s and a pointedly ethnic last name

I kind of can’t believe this Bari Weiss quote is even real, and yet www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/b...

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

Last week Jesse Watters spoke to man named Eric who claimed he was formerly a member of antifa. Two years ago Watters interviewed Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza, a former Mexican Mafia member. Some folks thought the men looked similar. This is a side by side comparison. 🤷‍♀️

BREAKING: (must credit me) the details of Bari Weiss's first meeting with David Ellison were just leaked to me by a trusted source (again, must credit me). It's clear now why she was entrusted with reshaping, nay, revitalizing CBS News

John Podhoretz is so lazy his little thread about the actual value of Bari's Home For People Who Don't Think Genocide is Bad that he got correctly fact checked by Tim freaking Pool

"The project—[Weiss'] and that of her backers—is to establish herself and her cohort not as new-right media, but as the new *liberal*media, staking out the leftmost acceptable position within the new right-wing paradigm." The dream of Marty Peretz on far grander scale.

One thing that's happening in Portland that Fox News won't tell you is that aggressive, drunk, right wingers have shown up at the ICE facility trying to start fights and the protesters there have not taken the bait. Therefore the story has become "look how Antifa-friendly the Portland police are!"

lets all stay dignified and remember that jordan was doing (canadian) politics the right way

Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson. www.postandcourier.com/news/crime/s...

This is possibly the worst Jets team since the Kotite 1-15 squad in '96. Laughably bad. Depressingly bad. One thing goes wrong and they crumble faster than the French army in 1940

All 45 staffers at the "Department of Government Efficiency" were apparently too valuable to lose, as the agency was completely unscathed by the temporary employment suspension. trib.al/xPElaZu Meanwhile, he furloughed 89% of the EPA, 87% Dept. of Ed, and 71% of HUD.

Three weeks after a leading scientist at the National Institutes of Health filed a whistle-blower complaint against the Trump administration, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy fired her. @nytimes.com

per reddit this is the 'ten car' incident -- weird!

You had me at woke

It gets funnier

People in Chicago: Know your rights when faced with federal forces.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

[to the tune of Eleanor Rigby] Christopher Sanchez

This is a declaration they will use federal resources to deploy violence against judges, prosecutors, and attorneys general. There's no other coherent interpretation of the phrasing, including "only remedy," "legitimate state power," and connecting those people with "terror networks."

@govpritzker.illinois.gov 37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois. This is assault.
