And make no mistake, when the Klan was ranting about unassimilable immigrants in the 1920s, they were very much talking about Italians whom they attacked as Catholic pawns of the pope, as a "criminal race" whose members were all tied to the mafia, and as a non-white threat to white women.

Clearest proof we've seen that he thinks refugees claiming political asylum were refugees from an actual insane asylum. The leader of the United States is dumber than dirt but there's an entire cult enabling him and a corporate media too cowardly to call them out.

He’s screwed up the reflecting pool. He’s screwed up the White House grounds. He destroyed the East Wing & the Rose Garden. He’s failed in Iran, fouled-up the Mideast & ruined relations with our allies. And yet the Republicans continue to stick with him as if he’s not demented & destroying America.

Indeed. Idiocy on top of racist.

Do not use our tragedy to fuel violence, family of Belfast attack victim say

This is the second time this has happened. CBS News's Investigative unit got a retired ICE agent to break down the Good shooting frame-by-frame. On the record, he said the agents were entirely out of line. The piece was only posted online and never broadcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ywL...

Trump told me this a couple of hours before Bibi struck Iran. He has turned himself into a prisoner of other people's decisions.

The conservative movement explicitly, no-shit, no-other-explanation believes that an educated populace is directly opposed to their vision of a peasant class having 15 kids and building wealth for the Chosen Few Elites forever and want to repeal the 20th and the 19th century to achieve that goal

the death of 60 minutes and the rest of the VRA on the same night really brings home how the current conservative project is to kill the progress and ideals of the mid century

This is truly one of the worst things the court has done — both in terms of legitimacy and in terms of the law — since I have been covering the court.

Not only is this $300B of our money to reopen a shipping lane that was already wide open for free but the entire SNAP budget is $100B/year and I was told we couldn’t afford to feed American children fruits and vegetables

We’re doing it again next year! 🚢 www.buzzcocks.com/events/2027/...

This is THEFT. There is no other word for it. They are stealing almost $1.8 BILLION dollars to pay Trump‘s allies, despite knowing that these people are not legally entitled to any money and be laughed out of court if they filed a lawsuit for money damages.

The sad reality is that Xi publicly, and repeatedly, insulted Trump and insulted the USA. From giving Trump a shorter chair to citing the Thucydides Trap of a waning power going to war with a rising one, Xi broadcast that China is now in control. Trump is too dim-witted to understand.

Hollywood's iconic Cinerama Dome movie theater just took a likely step toward reopening "in the near future." Here's what you need to know

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

This is absolutely outrageous. SCOTUS reinstated Texas gerrymander 15 weeks before primary because they claimed it was too close to election to block it but now allowing Alabama to gerrymander one week before primary after trial court found map was intentionally discriminatory against Black voters

Why did Trump pardon drug trafficker and Honduran president Juan Hernández? According to leaked audio tapes, it was an initial payment in part of a agreement between Trump, Bibi, and others to take down Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum. english.elpais.com/internationa...

Giving billionaires and corporations the green light to buy our elections. Making it easier for polluters to destroy the planet. Stripping millions of reproductive freedom. Granting presidents immunity. Gutting the protections of the Voting Rights Act. The shame of the John Roberts court.

Trump’s pathology is naked and writhing obscenely: They never respected us, but now we’ve made them respect us

lmao far right content makers are getting almost all of their revenue from rich benefactors and supplement sales, not paid subscribers. It's smoke and mirrors.

To understand what the Supreme Court is doing, you have to recognize that this is how authoritarians in Hungary, Turkey, and Venezuela consolidated power. Scholars call it autocratic legalism. The Court isn’t complicit. It’s an active participant. Roberts is following a script.

Dear @Flotus STFU This country has been divided with violent rhetoric by your evil, insane husband This is Donald Trump's America. If you find its tone of discourse unsatisfactory, fix it, take it up with the mindless creature you have enabled - or just leave Signed, America

Currently confirmed shows:

Who would have guessed that "Back to the Future" was actually a prophesy? Here we are in 2026. Biff is President and gambling is out of control. Even Trump's planned "Presidential Library" is designed to look like Biff's casino.

Everywhere you look, Trump, his family members, his donors, his political supporters & his cronies are looting the US treasury, getting paid by foreign entities for policy favors, & getting no bid contracts. Criminal cases are dropped and convictions pardoned. The US govt is an ongoing crime scene.

So 70’s L.A. Willie Nelson, Sally Field, Burt Reynolds, Richard Pryor & Robin Williams at The Laugh Factory in 1977.

"logic of Musk’s empire is total. X shapes the discourse. Grok automates it. Grokipedia rewrites the historical record. Starlink can deliver it all, everywhere, to everyone. Each layer reinforces the others. It’s not about winning arguments in the public sphere. It’s about building a replacement."

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces. 249 years later, we have this idiot.

Pete Shelley’s Buzzcocks work is rightly lauded but less discussed is his solo work and effect on electronic music. The album ‘Homosapien’ was produced by Martin Rushent who also produced ‘Dare’ by Human League and used techniques from ‘Homosapien’ on it 🎯👌 #PeteShelley youtu.be/2HwmO_GZfzI?...

Gender affirming care.

IT ABSOLUTELY THE FUCK IS NOT

There has never been any association

JD Vance is on a historic roll: He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose. Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses. Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably. Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.

We have gone from "the US doesn't need the Strait of Hormuz, Europe does, they should open it, it will open naturally" to "good news, Iran is opening the Strait of Hormuz (for a toll)" to "the toll is illegal and we will blockade the Strait of Hormuz because the United States will not be extorted"

So now we go back to bombing them until they agree to the deal Obama had that Trump tore up… and open up the strait that was open before we attacked them? Continuing a war we “already won”? Do we have that right?

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

The military must not follow any orders to destroy "a whole civilization." Sane members of Congress should say this loudly now.
