One of the most powerful images of the Iranian protests is that of an Iranian young woman burning Khamenei’s portrait, and lighting her cigarette with it. Photographer unknown.

Beyond farce: as the neo Brown shirts shoot women in the streets, the opposition party quips "how does this help affordability hummm?"

Frey: I have a message for ICE: Get the fuck out of Minneapolis

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

NEW: Second video shows ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed

The video shows ICE agents removing the woman's body from the car & carrying her down the road, no ambulance. An onlooker tried to approach to help, identified himself as a doctor & ICE pointed guns at him.

You can hear him say "get out of the car" and so now they're going to claim that because of the car moved even 1 inch he was authorized to use deadly Force

Fuck Bari Weiss, fuck bootlicking regime propaganda

Yes, I know that you’re the Divine Vengeance of the Empty God’s Wrath. I have access to Google and LinkedIn, ok? Fucking chill out.

The whole ”security” argument is bullshit anyway. If the US wanted to build more defense installations on Greenland, all they need to do is ask. This is about 1. resources and 2. destroying NATO as agreed between trump and putin, probably.

Gonna patent an AI that beats games for you for $39.99 a month. It called the "Elonanator". It plays fun new releases while you toil in the mines

they used to "insult" reactionary NY senator al damato by calling him "pothole al" because you could call him up and get the pothole on your street fixed. this was seen as beneath the office of a US senator but can you even imagine a politician actually doing something for you now

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day. Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me. 🧵

We have a lot more video and information on our visual archive of that day apps.npr.org/jan-6-archive/

Worst that 9 11 in the grand scheme

I never much cared for the U.S. Congress when it existed, but now I miss it.

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.

Instead of impeachment house dems are going to do a retroactive vote supporting trump unanimously and then impeach mamdani

Lucky dice roll, imagine if this went down like Carters Iran hostage rescue instead. What a different world it would be this morning.

Great triumphs in 2026 shall be ours, freedom and justice for all

I have made no secret of my belief that the parallels between today and the immediate Antebellum are as disquieting as they are undeniable. Indeed, I've become something of an internet cryptid because of it. 1860s problems require 1860s solutions: Resurrect the Joint Committee on Reconstruction

BREAKING: The House Judiciary Committee has released Jack Smith's 255-page deposition transcript: judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

**BREAKING** Images of a Chinese merchant vessel with containerised missile launchers, radar/comms and close in defense are legitimate. Collaborated via other sources. Sobering. Merry Xmas

Tiny onion

Time to log off for Christmas break, we argue in the new year

The inverse would be: Quarter point hike after we go limit down Great plan sir

Told you so.

It used to be that the United States would use Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to transmit truth across the borders of repressive regimes. Now the work of American reporters, having been censored, is being smuggled across the border to reach Americans.

20. So this goes back to point 10. When we are a net exporter, decisions to produce more help producers and hurt consumers. And in this case, are ALSO bad for the climate. It's lose / lose all around.

Oh my god I was right

Five years ago today, Trump summoned a mob to Washington, DC for a “protest” on Jan. 6, 2021, tweeting: “Be there, will be wild!” Rightwing extremists began planning for violence almost immediately. www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

America has deindustrialized so much they can't even manufacture consent

And guess what? The FCC immediately changed the website to state that the agency is not independent right after Carr's comments!

I believe the Court is communicating ex parte with the White House about this case and has been for months.

Impeach, investigate

Returning to twitter to minister to the hogs and do my part to improve the conversation. Fixing Andrew Tate's heart by talking about the NBA with him. Replying "Are you watching Plurbus" to a Rod Dreher post about demonic possession and kicking off a healing round of good-natured discourse.

What?

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

It is important to promise, now, that whatever Trump builds at the White House will be torn down as soon as he leaves. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/if-he-buil...

I was right. It was a meth lab. Its on the dea's clandestine lab registry. Incident august 4th, 2004. Has probably been abandoned for the last 20 years. www.dea.gov/clan-lab

George Retes is a U.S. citizen and Iraq war veteran. He was detained by ICE and held in solitary confinement for three days without explanation. George shared his story before Congress to make sure no American has to endure the same abuse he did.
