NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

A few years ago, sheltering in a tiny chapel in the Peak District. On the wall was a plaque for a soldier killed in 1917. Underneath it was a plaque for a soldier with an identical name born in 1917 and killed in 1942. No mention of the woman who lost her husband in WW1 and her son in WW2

“How did you receive the foreigner? And did you receive him and welcome him or not?” Pope Leo XIV challenges us to reflect on the moral cost of policies that target deeply-root immigrants and families.

Not the happy flex they think it is.

This sign spoke to me. (apologies for being such a bad photographer that I cut this fellow former Republican’s head out of the photo)

Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.

Welcome to Heaven, Dr. Jane Goodall. You made the world a better place.

BOYCOTTS WORK! ✊🏽

I was just wondering, what do dead warriors do all day in Valhalla anyway? It’s probably not what Kash Patel was thinking: norse-mythology.org/cosmology/va....

Trump loudly booed at US Open - as well he should be. bluevirginia.us/2025/09/sund... h/t @OliviaRubinABC

There was a Doctor Who episode where something happened because everyone on earth manifested it. Turns out the show is fictional. Damn.

Pirro’s strategy played better in a Fox News greenroom than in a D.C. courtroom. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fai...

I guess you can indict a ham sandwich.

I believe this says it pretty well:

Everything about Trump is vulgar. From his appearance, to his tastes, to his lack of any cultural hinterland. A 79 year old man who glories in the superficial.

🤣🤣🤣

Who did this?🤣

I tried on Perplexity to get a count of the number of times Trump attacked Biden’s mental capacity during Biden’s Presidency. The answer was that a count is impossible, too many and in too many different media to count. So I have no sympathy for Trump now getting similar treatment.

🙏🏿

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

Wow. Thomas Massie is a Republican Congressman.

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

Mahmoud Khalil returns home with his wife, Noor Abdalla, and their brand new baby boy, Deen.

Casting out demons 😈

this is my favorite video ever ✨

OK, this is how it's done.

Utah voters: Are these really your values? Mike Lee is the best you can do?

Gov. Tim Walz: "We are not a country that settles our differences at gunpoint. We have demonstrated again and again in our state that it is possible to peacefully disagree, that our state is strengthened by civil public debate. We must stand united against all forms of violence."

Terry Moran for the win! It's like getting blocked on Twitter.

“hope isn’t a mood. it’s a decision.” (via confettitactics on threads: www.threads.com/@confettitac...)

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

My favorite word is mouse. A beautiful word, and an old word. #Caturday

Both Rubio's tweet, and the response, are remarkable artifacts. You have a Secretary of State tweeting right wing talking points to defend Neo Nazis, and the country where Nazis originated telling him to sod off.

Amazon planned to show customers how the tariffs were impacting their charges for products, but the White House went ballistic at the idea. Guess they’re afraid of the truth! Bezos backed down, making a story that encapsulates much of what’s wrong AF these days. Link to my piece below.

MAGA Christians didn't like Pope Francis because he kept in conveniently reminding them of some dude called Jesus. And a thing I learned when I wrote for the Landover Baptist spoof site is that many right-wing Christians don't regard Catholics as even Christian. They call them "Mary Worshippers."
