Actually, every person named Benjamin Erickson who *was* arrested has had one awful day, as well. If it were a just world he could sue Kash Patel for every dime that incompetent pretender ever so much as thought about owning.

This entire weekend

Let's be clear about what this is. This is organized, state-sponsored white supremacist terror, presumably implemented at Stephen Miller's request. And the fact that the GOP can't find the spine to object raises a lot of questions about the GOP.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Just discovered an insane new form of co-intelligence where you briefly share the mind of a great thinker in history and then a portion of their mind travels in yours for the rest of your life. Calling it a "book."

I shot the serif but I didn't shoot no Calibri.

Lizza, Nuzzi, Cillizza...my condolences to any journalist whose name has a double-z because the pattern's not looking good, y'all.

How nice, he gets a participation trophy.

Convenience, the American way.

And God created paragraphs and said, "Truncate your passages, so as to separate different strands of thought, in this I shall be pleased"

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

"Western civilization," the font, the 11 stars - 11 states in the confederacy, for the record. Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

Adam Mockler hits the nail on the head: "The way that we win this is not to expose the people who believe this stuff...it's to expose the beliefs themselves."

A strong and true report from the frontlines of tech accountability journalism by @caseynewton.bsky.social: "I'm noticing the degree to which platforms wish to be judged only by their stated intentions, and almost never on the outcomes of anyone who uses them." www.platformer.news/roblox-ceo-i...

What could go wrong

All of Bluesky this morning:

Anyone posted this one yet?

I’m no statistician, but if you buy your first house in your 30s on a 50-year mortgage, and life expectancy is low 80s, isn’t this just called — rent?

Really touching video about a guy bonding with an octopus (it's not really about a piano). www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcWn...

"I unequivocally reject identity politics" i scream, right before selecting my five gallon cowboy hat for my Fox Business interview.

[Exit Clown.]

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

My hypothesis: Not a single person at this party has actually read Great Gatsby. Of, for 1% that have, it was in high school, and they never thought about it. It is *not* a happy-ending book. Or one flattering to dressed-up Mar-a-Lago type crowds. Or to greedy rich desperate for social approval

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

Worth reposting

If you are concerned about the presidents ability to remember dates and names boy do I have a guy to introduce to you

This is hilarious. Even the Dutch are way ahead of us in seeing how bad things are in the United States with Donald Trump running amok and corporations capitulating to fascism. But, then again, the Netherlands has experience with being taken over by fascists.

Sinclair Broadcasting: 410-568-1500 I called and left a message. Don't let the Kirk cult be the only one they hear from. If you prefer, there is a contact form here: sbgi.net/contact-us/

Dems need to exert pressure now! 1. Threaten to investigate ABC for bribery when back in power (currying Trump's favor with the firing). 2. Have Blue State AGs subpoena every document from ABC about the decision right now. 3. Be loud and public about the above.

Here’s the Jimmy Kimmel clip that got him pulled off the air

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Exactly this

When a white man murders another white man, God can only be appeased by prayer and the sacrifice of Black journalists. But how many Black journalists have to be fired? Ross Douthat drops by to explain.

Good news, god we need it.

The recovery of endangered Mexican gray wolves hangs in the balance, largely due to a lack of genetic diversity. The wolf with a target is genetically valuable — as was the 3 month old pup who was killed. This species needs genetic diversity to survive.

Large crowds of normal people spontaneously assembling to yell "Shame on you!", and worse, at the ICE goons doing their goon squad thing, doesn't portend well for the administration's project to cow the population into silence.

imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter

Death panels.

These memorial speeches are not often worth listening to; they are either hollow promises or helpless platitudes. But this cuts right to the grief. Worth your minute; watch it.

The national news will move on, but Minnesota will not.

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,

I think you’re reich about this third thing

This is your Democratic campaign message for 2026
