After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Blue and Dem-controlled purple states need to make a policy of giving gender-affirming driver's licenses to trans ppl from out of state.

Colorado borders Kansas. Here is a Colorado non-profit that helps trans people relocate, Trans Continental Pipeline. Please share. tcpipeline.org

went to the store __________ AI Summary ✨ Grammy-nominated R&B singer Jon B. posted that he is going to the stove – perhaps to "cook up" another hot, hot radio single. Frogs and toads, which are the same, can live on the Sun and often choose to.

Please please please even if you can't call, recirculate these posts so who can make the call see it

You cannot hate him or his supporters enough.

Might be a good time to remember that each of us is profoundly annoying to someone.

This sounds unbelievable but its true: since Bezos acquired The Post, his wealth has grown tenfold and the Post has been cut in half. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-trust-...

The leagues are going to need to grapple with selling their souls to the devil when their players start needing round-the-clock security because people lost their shirts on Kalshi, Polymarket, DraftKings, or DoofusBet & loansharks tell bettors it's a bullet to the head of the player or their kid.

it is deeply funny watching accounts that basically agree on like 95% of politics invent reasons to be mad at each other

it's one thing to say with regards to a general election "vote blue no matter who" but it's a completely different thing to insist (as *lots* of Dem accounts I've personally seen are saying) that trans ppl *must* vote for Newsom when we're still several years away from presidential primaries!

1. it's not? 2. what's "true" in a very obvious sense is that they're going to try their best to MAKE it true and still replace every job they can with it despite it, again, not being true 3. it then follows that the way to "think seriously" about it is to be as skeptical & hostile to it as possible

just an update from when we talked to the reporter: we’ve now successfully connected over 100 families for direct, peer to peer rent adoption. we’ve collected and immediately distributed…a lot. it is a drop in the bucket, but all of this is. everyone is just doing what they can.

McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man? LYONS: Yes mam McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands? LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question McIVER: Do you think you're going to hell, Mr Lyons?

In the future we're gonna look back at online gambling and prediction markets in the same way we look now at cigarettes on airplanes and lead-based paint www.wsj.com/business/med...

If you can get past the opening line — hell of a job at grabbing the reader's attention — Matthew has done an amazing job. While the subject matter left me with a disgusted look on my face, I enjoyed reading the analysis and prose with which Matthew systematically dismantled this proposal.

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

this administration isn't leaning into AI from mere laziness. they're flooding your centers of discernment with hyper-real fakery so that those in power are those who determine what's real.

HELL yea

NEW STORY: Trump admits he was the one who found the video and asked that it be posted from his Truth Social account. Refuses to apologize.

Defund the CIA and use the money to make more Muppet retellings of classic literature

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

"Under penalty of perjury, a witness told the FBI back in 2016 that they had “personally witnessed” President Donald Trump threaten to “disappear” a girl and have her entire family killed, according to a document released by the Justice Department on Friday." www.rawstory.com/trump-epstei...

INCREDIBLE resource here. "Movements and campaigns are won not by overpowering one’s active opposition, but by shifting each group one notch around the spectrum (passive allies into active allies, neutrals into passive allies, and passive opponents into neutrals),.." 1/

that’s enough internet for today that’s enough internet for forever

people don't know how to handle a mostly virtuous person who is also massively annoying

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

“Act like you’re supposed to and have a right to be there” is a huge benefit in so many situations

They don't have enough guys and they keep spreading them thinner, using all their juice for show arrests for things that aren't going to stick Be brave. We're all holding hands .

This boy, and every child in detention, is worth more than the flag, or the constitution, or all the marble monuments in D.C. Him or any other child dying in detention merits this entire nation being thrown into the sea with a millstone around our collective necks.

Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza. This is textbook censorship of the highest degree

People who live in the vicinity can bring goods to Smitten Kitten... Otherwise, they are accepting donations on venmo @wrecktanglepizza (the name Jeff Rogers should come up, that's the owner of Wrecktangle Pizza.)

what the FUCK. what the fuuuuuuck

I want to appreciate for a moment: There’s a historic ice storm bearing down on a huge part of the country. And government workers are being told to downplay the ice—the most damaging part of the storm—bc they’re worried it might remind people of the government’s disastrous occupation in Minnesota

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

Okay sorry one more shot:

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

“This is not who we are.”❌ “I’m going to speak up and take action to make sure this is not who/what we continue to be.”✅ “We’re acting like [insert region/country/oppressive group outside the U.S.]”❌ “The U.S. has a long history of oppression, discrimination, and harm that informs the present.”✅

Personally I would not insult the nation that manged to conquer Europe after blowing itself up.

It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

ICE is sending these kids to the concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, where they're preparing to have so many children that they're opening a new school there. They're actively hiring teachers now. I reported on it last month. We have to get people out of there.

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain. A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones. The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

whether you think america is literally the great satan founded on a bedrock of violence or you think america is a deeply flawed country with a celebrated tradition of resistance, i think we can all agree it's only one of those and anyone who disagrees with your read is naive or irredeemably evil

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

I keep thinking about the number of people that have to be involved to kidnap a small child, transport him to one facility or another, then an airport, then a plane, then another facility. Did no one on that chain stop and say hey what the fuck?

Everyone who has an active duty or reserve duty soldier in their family should be having a conversation with that person about whether this is something they are willing to die for and also about the GI Rights Hotline girightshotline.org

Minneapolis schools are closing because non-white families can't go outside and Senate Dems are like "ok but you gotta buy some body cameras for ICE"

there is not a single founding father who would have believed that a court would ever rule that presidential pardons made in furtherance of a conspiracy against the republic were presumptively valid
