Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison. Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

a foundational belief of the modern right is that there is no such thing as organic disagreement with their policies, it’s all directed from the top down they just can’t conceive that ordinary people find them horrifying

bobby flay and gordon ramsay shows should be banned for very similar but not exactly similar reasons as true crime

wow is this grotesque

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois. We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

“The man with the most power has expended enormous energy targeting those with the least.” THIS THIS THIS. It’s all one fight. No one gets left behind. ❤️

They like what Trump is doing, this really isn't hard. It's not both-sideism, it's running cover for the regime by choice in order to reach a desired outcome. Can we please stop cutting this institution slack it does not deserve?

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…” Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

Wen should direct more attention to incidents like these because Americans are more likely to respond to brutality to pets than to brutality to human beings.

Cards Against Humanity Explains the Joke fan mail is pouring in.

"Weiss is a shameless opportunist and troll whose 'expertise' [...] has largely involved trolling everyone left of center for engagement clicks with culture war dogshit and dangerously shoddy reporting, then crying like a full-diapered toddler when people criticize her for being generally terrible."

I love when Andy Ngo does one of his David Attenborough-style posts about Antifa and highlights some kid who took a bong rip and waddled into the protest dressed like a giant muppet. My favorite flavor of his commentary by far.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Among the more obvious differences, this was about using the Alabama National Guard to enforce federal law *in Alabama*, where the state government was defying court orders. Note that even in that much more extreme context, Kennedy used the Alabama National Guard, not some other state's.

listen. when dolly parton’s sister says it’s time for us all to be prayer warriors for dolly. you fucking pray for dolly

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

Reading about Democrats who agree with Trump's plan to forcibly commit homeless people

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

It might ring a little more true if you personally went down to the street and got the state police to stop helping ICE.

if you’re a visual learner i made you some maps of where the people quoted in this article as supporting portland being occupied by troops live

One of the things we are going to have to be very, very aware of is that a lot of people who are being heavily armed right now will simply not be willing to accept the results of a democratic election because they will go to jail.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov 37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois. This is assault.

Unanimous First Circuit takes pains to emphasize that this was an incredibly easy case to decide, despite writing a very long opinion knocking down every ridiculous argument the Trump admin made.

Major victory in Kansas for transgender people. The Kansas Supreme Court declined to block a lower court ruling on gender markers on drivers license. ACLU Kansas says trans people can get their licenses updated starting Tuesday. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

NEW: By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to cancel Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan migrants. KBJ, dissenting, says she "cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference" while "lives hang in the balance." www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

I don’t want to hear another word from the right whining about dangerous, incendiary, violence-inciting language from the left. Once again, here’s their dear leader, the most divisive person on the planet.👇

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

Judge Simon's right - he wasn't required to recuse, though he had the discretion to. The problem arises when principled judges recuse even if there's an appearance of bias but unprincipled judges like Alito and Thomas don't.

I LOVE my beautiful weird city and all of its beautiful weird people.

Yes. (And still getting "standoff" BS and "who will blink first" and "who will voters blame" from news.) Trump and MAGA control the *entire* government. It's a simple fact: - White House - Senate - House - Scotus - OMB (to the hilt) - Every regulatory agency They're in command. It's on them.

Donald Trump’s decision to invade Portland on the basis of video from five years ago raises new questions about Joe Biden’s mental state.

The US Administration’s all-out war on our university system is intensifying. The cost in terms of lost research, lost innovation, lost global competitiveness — is beyond comprehension. This sneering, reckless vandalism will harm all Americans, Conservative and Liberal.

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

The Kavanaugh Stop

'out of the three mass shootings today'

The wounded knee thing is really Trumpism distilled to its essence. It’s not enough to be able crush people who can’t fully defend themselves, it’s not enough to actually crush them, you also have to love and admire those who do the crushing otherwise the Trumpists’ delicate feelings are injured

It's like their comm teams told Jeffries and Schumer "Trump is sending the army to Portland, people are scared and pissed, you have to say something." And they went "Troops in Portland is bad. But you know what else's bad? Egg prices."
