I have a Turtle Diaries post about New Orleans coming out later today, but in the meantime enjoy this video of protesters following Greg Bovino around an apartment complex in Kenner Louisiana.

GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered? GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now THOMPSON: What does that mean?

TIL the original lyrics to Deck the Halls are awesome and “don we now our gay apparel” is temperance movement bullshit

When Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for yet another school shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.

34% of U.S. voters say they've skipped a meal in the past year to save money. The percentages are higher for Black (44%), Hispanic (41%), women (39%) and voters under 30 (54%). 64% of U.S. voters say they've switched to cheaper groceries or buying less food to save money. tcf.org/content/repo...

Of course Coulter is excited about the new English edition of the notorious novel revered by white nationalists. (Not actually banned AFAIK, just rarely published b/c few publishers are as openly pro-xenophobia as Vauban)

Merry freakin' Christmas, now where's my food! #Caturday

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

thanks, Clair Obscur. now all the cosplay peeps are dressed like mimes. #gaming #Expedition33

DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data. My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Breaking news: The Justice Department once again failed to persuade a grand jury to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James, another setback for the Trump administration, which pursued mortgage fraud charges that experts have long viewed as weak.

Despite saying that antifa is the biggest U.S. domestic threat, the FBI couldn’t explain how the movement is a “terror organization” — or an organization at all.

Don't visit the U.S. Don't buy U.S. products. The U.S. IS a SHITHOLE country

Almost daily someone wants to tell me that I should mind my own business and stay out of US "politics". So almost daily I have to remind them that Trumpism affects global economics, environment and peace. I'll do what every concerned global citizen should do. I'll express my opinion. Loudly.

The first paragraph of Judge Breyer‘s opinion granting an injunction in the California National Guard case is a banger.

Couple of things here: 1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently 2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts" 3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring" 4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

I guess the president just announced he recently took his latest in a series of cognitive tests, this one in front of a room full of medical personnel observing him?

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

I do love that FIFA is now synonymous with a useless non-participation prize and with abject butt-kissing.

Chargers win via int?

You will be visited by 3 spirits

Trump bankrupted the farmers through his idiotic tariffs and now he’s going to give them your tax money to make up for his abject stupidity.

The narrative about dangerous criminals doesn’t match what people are actually seeing as their friends, classmates, and co-workers are being carted off.

excited to award my kids the Burger King Peace Prize this weekend

i plan on eating a salad at some point in the next couple days. FIFA, where's my Vegetarian Prize 2025?

You have got to be fucking kidding me. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is totalitarianism. Not rule of law democracy. And everyone who excused thus is potentially signing this nation’s death warrant.

Everyday for the last ten years, Donald Trump has used his bully pulpit to incite violence against Americans for any reason he decides. He is a terrorist. His supporters are terrorists. We do not negotiate with terrorists.

Christmas songs I'm jamming to this year, in no particular order: Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24 - Trans-Siberian Orchestra Oi to the World - No Doubt Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses I Won’t Be Home for Christmas - blink-182 Linus & Lucy - Vince Guaraldi

Being undocumented is NOT a crime. And despite the endless stream of xenophobic and racist rhetoric from Trump and Republicans, the vast majority of immigrants — both documented and undocumented — contribute to America in more ways than we could imagine.

An Admiral who has a lifetime of exemplary service to our country, is allowing his legacy to become trash to protect an incompetent, drunkard Fox News host. Sad. For him, and our county.

Thou shalt hold Pete Hegseth accountable for his crimes against humanity.

The former commissioners said they were “deeply concerned” by Vinay Prasad’s recent memo, which they framed as a “threat” to the FDA’s work and a danger to Americans’ health.

🔺 UPDATE: Spain and the Netherlands have announced that they will boycott next year’s Eurovision Song Contest because Israel has been allowed to compete

Trump divided the country, extorted Zelenskyy, tried to steal an election, incited an insurrection, stole confidential documents and banged a porn star. That’s his legacy. He knows he’s incapable of achieving anything good. He’s hoping his ballroom will remind people of him.

A corrupt president pardons a corrupt member of Congress for corrupt reasons. With multiple guilty pleas establishing a bribery-laundering scheme, Hakeem Jeffries still called the case “thin” and sought cover in a bribery-plagued Supreme Court. A lesson in squandering potential inroads with voters.

This story sums up Trump: No need for evidence. No need for laws or treaties. No need for discussions. If Trump decides (based upon whatever random information or maybe just heartburn) that someone is in the wrong, he believes he has the right to kill them. The US is now a rogue nation.

This is the most consequential story for the 2026 midterms. Yet, I cannot find it anywhere on legacy media. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

While "peace" negotiations continue, remember that Russia could simply stop the war at any time.

The Orban playbook: use the regulatory powers of the state to ensure media is owned by your allies who turn it into propaganda for the regime. Here’s Trump intervening to help his ally Ellison’s bid for Warner Bros (and CNN).

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law. Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it. No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors. That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

🔥 BREAKING: A spokesperson for Kids Can Press, the publisher of the Franklin the Turtle books, messaged me today about Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth using the likeness and image from the books to make light of killings in the Caribbean in his post yesterday on X.

Impeaching Hegseth is fine but how about demanding the House vote on the illegal war the Trump regime is waging on Venezuela first?

Checked my outdoor Christmas lights twice. Twice! Just like Santa. Climbed up on the ladder and mounted them along the garage roof. Climbed down; put everything away. Half aren't working now.
