Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

Dear Senator Cassidy, “We” didn’t. WE didn’t pardon anyone. HE did. The President of the United States pardoned him. Come on Bill, say his name. Who’s our president? Say his name. Best, Your Former Congressional Colleague

The aversion that the Founders had to a standing army is really beginning to make sense.

Trump allowed 17 members of the Sinaloa cartel into the US. In May he commuted the 6x life sentences of the leader of the Gangster Disciples, most notorious drug trafficking & murderous street gang in the US. Now Honduran drug trafficker Hernandez. Is Trump setting up his own drug corridor?

We're like five minutes away from Trump posthumously pardoning Manuel Noriega, aren't we?

Read that twice, maybe three times. 400 TONS of cocaine. Not a fishing boat but over 800,000 lbs of cocaine…. What are the odds Donny Jr suggested this one?

Lest we forget, this is far from the first drug trafficker that Trump has pardoned Which makes the extrajudicial killing of Venezuelans even more immoral

also it's very funny to me that the DOGE teens, who we were told were computer geniuses, were allowed to rifle around in our federal government in order to find waste for months on end, and all they did to 'save' money was "get rid of the penny" and "give everyone AIDS/HIV again"

Fuck Donald Trump.

Steve whitkoff is an actual traitor

Trump envoy Steve Witkoff has been outed as a Russian asset. This is traitorous stuff.

Tennessee is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Scopes "Monkey" Trial by having an old fashioned mass book banning. Again. open.substack.com/pub/populari...

In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

If this picture was of Obama, you know @FoxNews would do three weeks solid on why the flag was on the ground. At least three weeks

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!” --Megyn R. Kelly “Grown men who have sex with your 15-year-old? Big whoop! It’s not like she’s 8. LOL!” --Also Megyn R. Kelly

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Bird Report In the past 2 days I've spotted: belted kingfisher pileated woodpecker American dipper And, a first for me, a Pacific wren And Mamdani beat Cuomo. So, a pretty good week so far.

God knows how many times this has happened: Zero. Much like Vance lying about Haitian immigrants eating people's pets, this is 100% racist bullshit being spewed by an unabashed white nationalist. Congrats to everyone who patronizes the Nazi bar he runs.

Fuck Donald Trump and every soulless ghoul that enables this evil.

Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

@pptsapper.bsky.social, what happened to the old War Stories podcast episodes? I recommended them to a student this morning only to find broken links.

I used the word "rizz" today in my lecture on Tecumseh. While I expected a few smiles or snorts in response, I was unprepared for the unanimous roaring outburst from the entire class.

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

The federal criminal justice system is being systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece and turned into a mob boss’s network of corrupt consiglieres and thugs, where good people simply doing their jobs are rooted out and eradicated.

New Nuremberg Trial Defense just dropped: "I was just following orders from my phone's app."

Denouncing modern art (AKA "Degenerate Art") was the only part of the Nazi playbook that had been missing from Stephen Miller's commentaries.

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.

Nazgûl. They're literally Nazgûl.

@flightradar24.com, any idea what is happening here. This SWA B737 should be at 36,000 not 10,000! What the heck?
