Canadian researchers scraped the dark web for Four Corners to see what paedophiles were saying about child care. They uncovered manuals providing instructions about how to gain access to childcare centres and abuse children while avoiding detection. #News #Australia #Canada

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible. Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

Yessir...everything's just hunky fucking dory right now.

I cannot even imagine what it must be like to a physician in a rural, underserved area AND having to fight this off on a daily basis. Unbelievable.

This is an important piece about whether the president of the United States will have you murdered. SPOILER: Maybe!

BREAKING: Immigration officers in the Chicago area will be required to wear body cameras after the use of tear gas and other actions against protesters, a judge rules.

More than half of American adults are below a 6th grade reading level and believe me when I say - it shows.

No the hell we must not.

"The most transparent administration in the history of the United States" does not want you to see the Epstein files.

Every MLB team’s uniform should be what they were when I was collecting ‘87 Topps and never change.

The simple truth is that Trump is a criminal. Now he and his accomplices are back in power, and they’re using that power to smear the honest agents and prosecutors who investigated them. www.thebulwark.com/p/bondi-host...

Oh! Is this that “snowflake safe space” I keep hearing about? 🤔

Democracy Docket: Federal judge blocks deployment of National Guard to Chicago, saying that DOJ’s claims of an insurrection were not credible and the President lacked the authority to send them.

I think it’s pretty easy to see the gap in the logical progression between paragraphs 6 and 7 that will doom the case.

Trump forming an anti Christian crime investigation task force to distract from the fact that he is a pedophile

I’m sure this is fine. abcnews.go.com/US/dominion-...

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast. But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

America, 2025: Government lawyers tell judges that the President can declare any protest he dislikes to be a rebellion, and the courts must agree.

Amid all the terrible stuff, my granddaughter’s aesthetic was very “autumn in Michigan” on her way to daycare this week.

Banana republic shit. If the reported facts are accurately, this is going to be a colossal embarrassment for DOJ.

Your Honor the prosecution asks that the “what’s taking so long on that malicious prosecution” DM be excluded

The hilarious part about this is he goes, "Did Obama do it? No. Did Bush do it? No." Obama didn't *need* to take the test because nobody was *concerned he was in mental decline*. He self-owns all the time. 🤪 🤣🤣🤣

This is how a fascist dictatorship out of control behaves. You are where you are, America.

Whether it’s Donald Trump saying J.B. Pritzker should be in jail or Donald Trump being convicted of 36 felonies but not going to jail because the American people re-elected him as president, both sides have been linked to jail time.

Trump has a hit list, but his DOJ is so thoroughly incompetent (read up on all the errors already in the Comey case) that it’s unlikely they have much evidence against Letitia James, either.

Jesus fucking christ

This feels criminal.

The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.” Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.

Good morning, Pam Bondi ☕️💅🏽

All because they want to sell off our beloved national parks. Felon has torn out the beautiful rose garden at the White House and filled it in with concrete. These lands and White House belong to THE PEOPLE. they are not his personal property to do as he decrees. Stop this madness.

The interesting times will continue until morale improves.

Not much here is actually new but this is a very good overview of DOGE, which can only now be viewed as a failure on its own terms and a catastrophe on any other terms www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

The new age wellness woo woo to fascism pipeline should be talked about more. It's a movement that has long been associated with lefty types, but it often comes with strong eugenicist undercurrents.

You can make most every argument about how anything in history could have been done better but there is just no case that Achilles at Troy, Lincoln at Gettysburg, Truman after Hiroshima, or Churchill on D-Day would have been more effective by concluding:Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I want this kitchen for realz.

For those who don’t have truth social apparently we are at war. Insanity that this is how the U.S. president makes an announcement. I’m old enough to remember a US president making an announcement to the nation and not posting something this serious to a right wing platform

We’re in another Middle East war. I’m reflecting on the fact that it’s easy to start a war, difficult to end it. There’s often war optimism, so it’s unlikely to end with bomb strikes today. Lastly, I’m troubled that Trump’s national security team is who we have running this war.

I’ve been thinking about this just considering the towns in which I live. …

In spite of its owner, I must say the LA Times is meeting the moment with wall-to-wall coverage of ICE kidnappings and so many stories about how immigrants are the backbone of everything great about LA. Its staff has a much clearer view of the city than the New York Times does of NYC.

Me: everything I say isn’t funny Tequila: yes it is… and send

Don’t use biometrics to secure your devices.

Pretty sure I hear the misspoken name “Sawzaw” more often than Milwaukee Tools’ original trade name, “Sawzall.” Also, people in Wisconsin and Minnesota seem to saw “draw” and “draws” as often as they do “drawer(s),” as in “chest of.”

In the senate version of the spending bill?! Yeah fuck that and fuck Texas like hard. Wanna move a shuttle? Move that wooden piece of shit on the Intrepid in NYC.

Nihilism.

Something I’d note is that while there is criminal immunity for “official acts” for the president, no such immunity exists for the deputy chief of staff.
