U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Happy Anniversary to those who celebrate cat attorneys.

It's a feedback loop. The more the psychos get power, the more the party only appeals to psychos. Then those new psychos take over and make it even less appealing to normal people so the only people who show up are even further gone

The reviews for “Melania” are going to be far more entertaining than the movie. What a fabulous headline:

Pastors working for ICE Sex workers running mutual aid for immigrants Which one looks more like Jesus???

The biggest obstacle we face as a society in getting people to accept reality about Trump is that it requires people to face reality about themselves and about ourselves as a society.

The absolute accuracy of this.

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents. Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center. Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

“Hypernormalization describes a state where a false, simplified, or surreal version of reality becomes so accepted as normal that people lose the ability or will to challenge it, even when aware of its untruth, often due to systemic inertia or lack of alternatives.”

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com

Everything you can do to slow down ICE's ethnic cleansing pogrom will save lives. If you make it so it takes 12 goons to do a 6-goon job, you're saving lives. Every minute they spend in location 1 is a minute they can't spend in location 2. Every squad they deploy to your city saves another city.

When you're terrified of everybody you don't like, everybody you don't like is a terrorist.

Slightly diminish a game Checker

whats missing from all the coverage is that the president is using the military to harass, brutalize and punish areas of the country that didnt vote for him

Trump wants Greenland so badly that Denmark a NATO ally is warning the entire alliance could collapse. We went from 'leader of the free world' to 'which sovereign nation gets invaded next' in one election. Empires don't fall to enemies. They collapse under their own grotesque stupidity.

one of my recent preoccupations is the visceral hostility the MAGA right has for the histories and traditions of the United States. these are people who spit on the Declaration and salute third-rate European despots!

There are a lot of reasons why I could never be MAGA, one of them being that I don’t understand how people can use it as their whole identity and then be okay with being lied to daily about everything, including the dumbest things, like Somali daycares.

Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check

As if this couldn't get any worse. Serious question: WTAF is wrong with these people? Like seriously. Historians will be writing about this dark period in American history for generations. An accurate and profoundly sad statement I just came across: bsky.app/profile/madd...

Boing Boing via @sethgodin.bsky.social "a history of capitalists complaining that 'no one wants to work anymore.' "

This is profoundly un-American. No—that's not right. It's *anti*-American. It's hatred of the United States and its founding documents and all its people and all its traditions. The person who wrote and approved this is a weirdo who detests everything that America stands for.

if trump had balls he’d give us this instead of stupid battleship

Unreal. And unsurprising.

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true

this fact is the definitive judgment on kirk's life

This is a very detailed and soundly sourced shit on all of the insane and false justifications the administration has used to murder foreigners abroad www.justsecurity.org/126553/opera...

Who made this

This is ridiculous. It was the first TRUMP admin which developed the cases against President Hernandez. His brother Tony Hernandez was indicted in 2018 and convicted in 2019, and key ally Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez was indicted in 2020. Both were later sentenced to life in prison!

Murdering crew members claiming they were smuggling drugs while pardoning a drug kingpin. Very on brand for the Trump regime.

Kristi Noem is conclusive proof that the sort of person who would murder a dog in cold blood is *exactly* the sort of person you think they are

No, she wants serfs that never have a life and work 996.

Déjà vu. Must be a glitch in the Trump matrix

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I’ve been trying to articulate this forever and this quote says it perfectly. Real hope isn’t passive, it’s active. But it’s also worth remembering that action doesn’t always mean sweeping change or grand gestures. Small choices count too. What a fabulous woman Dr. Goodall was. RIP.

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Also, the HHS Secretary sold cocaine in college and was a heroin addict for 14 years so it is RICH whenever they go after people for old drug offenses.
