they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Federal immigration officers are pulling out of a Louisiana crackdown and heading to Minneapolis in an abrupt pivot from an operation that drew protests around New Orleans and aimed to make thousands of arrests, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

What ICE was up to in Minnesota before they murdered a woman

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

I’m at the combination Pizza Hut and Kennedy Center.

The Trump admin keeps picking these universally reviled targets for US intervention and regime change - the theocracy in Iran, Maduro in Venezuela - and keeps fumbling to the point that the USA seems more evil than the regimes, and domestic/regional support surges for each regime.

calmly explaining why we shouldn't bomb random venezuelan boats to people who argued we should torture random iraqis and then won an election by saying they were against a war they advocated for

The Israelis should only ever be referred to as "the Israel Colony"

Trump says he’s meeting with “communist” Mamdani at the White House on Friday

im beginning to think it was a mistake to stake our entire economy on chatbots and fake internet money

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

The fact that no one in the room stood up for her says a lot about how we got here bsky.app/profile/pale...

Fun part of getting old as an art adjacent weirdo person is it becoming patently obvious who was always rich from old money, when they neverendingly post travel and elaborate destination wedding content, and rarely anything about careers or projects they're working on

The funny thing about the encrapification of American consumer goods, is you can just buy a lovingly restored functional artifact of the original quality version of most consumer products for cheaper than the brand new package of the current garbage version.

This is the current pope in 1980! What a fricking vibe PS: eeeee Bear Cub chaos in Brazil 🏎️🏎️🏎️

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

it's so funny that alex jones was totally right about everything, the government is a bunch of drug-addled pedophiles and masked regime thugs are grabbing people off the streets, and now he has to pretend it's all a hoax

Incredible piece of data journalism here from @wsj.com. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

No one leaving New York City because of Mamdani, say two top real estate CEOs

We live in a country where the only way anyone ever gets keys to power is to be guilty of things so terrible that you'd do anything they tell you to, just to ensure it never comes out This is the reason for the surveillance state, and why tech companies have such high valuations

Cannot be overstated how foolish this direct mail campaign by Vaichunas was... in the last days of the 2025 campaign when there was no question Mamdani would dominate Cuomo in our part of the district. Seemed impossible to generate enthusiasm for Wong, but these chuds made some.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.

Why in the everliving fuck would anyone want their Gmail search to default to quote unquote "most relevant" instead of "most recent"? Fuck y'all Google

Yeah whoever jacked up tariffs on coffee from Brazil earlier this year must be a real bonehead

ISIS in Syria and the Zetas in Mexico were remarkably similar psyops.

How did "using your phone speakers in public is shitty" not prevail in public opinion?

One wonders what the Democratic leadership negotiated away re: the Epstein Files, since that's what this shutdown was always about in the first place -- and they're magically able to swear in Adelita Grijalva now

I wonder when people will start to realize that 90% of the de Blasio hate was manufactured by the Cuomo governor administration and their media cronies, and that Bill de Blasio, for all his flaws, was the best mayor since the 90's until current.

It's fun watching the news coverage of the Virginia election dance around the nugget that holding elections in Virginia during a shutdown is bad for Republicans not just because federal workers aren't getting paid...

Some enterprising individual ought to start spraypainting over ring cameras

Wow

We're living in the age of vote counting machines hacked on an institutionally routine scale, and fake vote count results. They no longer have to manufacture consent, instead they only manufacture plausibility that there might somewhere be a constituency to support their policies.

Zohran Mamdani is so scary because he is planting the idea that you can tax billionaires and use the money to help people instead of debating what services to cut to pay for tax cuts. Which is literally why the US government is currently shut down. He is destroying decades of political messaging.

No Kings protests were one of the few times Trump, MAGA, and right-wing media were reacting to something the opposition did, rather than the opposition reacting to whatever they do. Adopt a principle from war strategy: generally better to be taking action and forcing opponents to react. Good point.

It is lazy cynicism, verging on psyop, the degree that the left is racing to poopoo a mass demonstration over the weekend which is estimated to have involved over 2% of the entire US population

That’s a lot of people. Unignorably large.

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

Based on the spin, it appears the reason the Trump administration has engineered and are dragging out this government shutdown is in order to blame the coming economic depression on it

Probably one of my top New Yorker moments was taking my kids to the Met 6 years ago, and spying Diane Keaton waiting on a friend in the lobby. There she was, dressed exactly as you'd expect, in pants with a vest and a hat, off 5th Avenue in Central Park on a Sunday afternoon.

working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"

The Google algorithm throws up some pretty weirdly random shit "news" to display on my splash screen, in order to avoid touching politics at all costs. I have no idea where these places are.

Americans can't seem to realize that the war with China is already lost

"Crypto" is just an especially crappy house-always-wins gambling addiction, and the misbelief that "awwwctually it's investing" means everything for why a lot of men who never would have ever voted in the past, particularly black and brown men, voted in fascism
