Nick Shirley at the US Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

A malignant narcissist is incapable of withstanding ridicule, so please share this as widely as possible. Thanking you all in advance, Mar🐫 🙏 shorturl.at/mcfqd

NEW: Trump used his first veto to block a unanimously approved Colorado drinking water project. Lauren Boebert, whose district the pipeline project is in, slammed Trump, suggesting it was retaliation for her signing the discharge petition to release the Epstein files www.9news.com/article/news...

If I were actually a free thinker who questioned everything I might get to wondering why my government tries to make me mad at Somalis every time something new comes out about Epstein

libsoftiktok is now the third most powerful branch of government after the president and supreme court

We don't have a government. We have a bunch of guys who heard things on social media. We don't have due process. We have entire groups being punished for the alleged actions of a few.

I am.

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience. Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense. They admitted it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I’ve seen a million media stories about how sad Republican voters in CA are about losing their Republican representatives. But I don’t think I’ve seen a single one talking about Demoratic voters in Texas, or North Carolina, or Missouri losing their representatives.

Anna Liedtke is a 25-year-old German journalist who was detained after Israel illegally intercepted her Freedom Flotilla ship in international waters. She was held for five days, transferred between multiple prisons, and r*ped during one of those transfers.

Bill Barr had the reporter who broke the Epstein story surveilled. Nothing to see here, folks.

Heads up that this is authorization for Trump to create his own version of the Wagner Group. Which would bring the number of “armies” at his disposal to four: *regular armed forces (most regulated) *ICE (minimally regulated) *private mercenaries (?) *MAGA thugs/militias (rogue) All pardonable

There is a devastating report in the NYT this afternoon that one the US-destroyed fishing boats washed ashore in Columbia and contained only evidence of marijuana. Trump’s claim that he is saving the US from fentanyl smuggling by Venezuela is a disprovable lie. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/w...

Still unreported, should be investigated: ICE shot Richard outside a mall. I visited mall security office. Guard said ICE and LAPD came in, used thumb drive to copy mall’s video footage, and THEN DELETED THE EVIDENCE from mall’s local drives. He showed me the missing timeline part saying “no data.”

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

This is the world Justice Kavanaugh sanctioned in his foolish & unnecessary concurring opinion to the Court’s order in Noem v Vasquez Perdomo. His hopes of cleaning up that blunder with a plaintive footnote in last week’s concurring opinion in Trump v. Illinois, demonstrates his staggering naïveté.

"Why Peter Thiel is leaving Silicon Valley" (2018)

Reminds me of this classic:

This message hits hard.

Save this, it's perfect.

Feels like Witkoff is Putin’s Special Envoy to the U.S.

What these people are doing to the power of calling out real antisemitism, in an incredibly dangerous time of surging global antisemitism….man, it is just so worrisome

It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).

The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good & the very gentle & the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry. Hemingway

Ben's hero is going to give a generation of kids measles but he's still sucking his thumb over masks during a pandemic

This administration lied about the people it sent to an overseas torture prison. It lies about the people it’s deporting. It lies every day to gain political advantage. Not a chance in hell they won’t lie about huge swaths of people they suspect might vote for the other party.

why are there rarely articles written about liberals in red state urban centers (e.g. Salt Lake City) being gerrymandered into some rural conservative representative?

PARDONS FOR SALE Trump has turned presidential pardons into a shopping experience, with lobbyists openly quoting a going rate of $1 million and a faster “track” if you can corner him at Mar-a-Lago or a White House event.

Dean Martin, born Dino Paul Crocetti, son of Italian immigrant Gaetano Crocetti Frank Sinatra, son of Italian immigrants Antonino Sinatra and Natalina Garavanta Merry Christmas to everyone except Stephen Miller and his enablers and handlers

Deport Bad Bunny? Where, back to the Puerto Rico…which is part of what country again?

NEW: A prominent free speech group helped right-wing dark money score a legal win against an Ohio school board and its anti-bullying policy, which protected transgender and nonbinary students. www.importantcontext.news/p/how-a-free...

DOGE was A LOT less likely to cancel contracts from companies that donated money to Republicans than companies that donated to Democrats.

271,000 people have lost their jobs and federal spending has ctually increased. So people get less services, while we added debt paying for private jets for Kristi Noem, bulletproof cars for Kash Patel. This is what the rust belt voters demanded.

Fuck this. Happy holidays to everyone except the fascists.

There is nothing more morally bankrupt and intellectually dishonest than pretending that criticism of the state of Israel’s war crimes is actually just antisemitism and yet it’s the only move the dead-end defenders of genocide have left.

Pretty sure inventing a diagnosis to explain why people don’t like your god king and then trying put taxpayer dollars behind it is derangement.

It is crazy that the president can sue anyone while he is president by the way. There is always incentive to settle if he is office and it always effectively a bribe. Congress needs to eliminate that possibility

if bari weiss had tried to do 9/11 there'd be three towers now

"Everything I Like Is National Security": A Child's Guide to Executive Action

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Just watched the 60 Minutes segment. Basically it debunks the fundamental claim used by Trump admin that the detainees it sent there are “terrorists” and corroborates torture using clips from El Salvadorean influencers Bukele uses internally. Would be a shock to low information voters, probably

PG&E is having a massive outage in San Francisco. Waymo robots aren't handling the traffic light outages well. Cell service is also out is some places. No surprise as Waymo robots & cell have repeatedly failed during power outages. CPUC regulates both Waymo and PG&E (Profit Greed & Explosions).

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

This was a human being. What the fuck is wrong with you?

The Epstein Files, everybody!

Yes. Yes. Yes. It’s time to accept that the US supreme court is illegitimate and must be replaced www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..." Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

The Kennedy Center is named by statute. Neither Trump nor his appointed Board can change the name. Such awful journalism, just accepting/assuming that Trump and his minions actually have the power to do everything they claim to do. Go back to school and retake Journalism 101.
