Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

We were not all local! But almost all of us were hit lol.

Elon Musk went to Pedophile Island www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

white supremacists and capitalists got so mad at one 18 month stretch of increased labor power that they've agreed to reverse the most complex economy in human history to an agrarian state

Folks, we've got an epistemological crisis and it's not going well www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Okay okay now I kind of really am worried she's not actually from here.

"A former senior ICE official...said that in the past ICE officers did not receive extensive training in traffic stops and that ICE historically did not make many such stops bc the agency focused on other enforcement. Under Trump, ICE has significantly increased street arrests and traffic stops."

Maybe all these idiots actually will get raptured tomorrow and we won’t have to think about them again.

Men aren’t lonely enough.

I personally wouldn’t fear anyone the way I would fear the wrath of a grown adult willing to shell out $100,000 to get married in Cinderella’s castle.

black, no sugar from basically anywhere else

you have to admit "can you make a documentary about a contemporary subject that never directly quotes anything he ever said or did" is kind of an interesting challenge from an artistic perspective

Trump says he specifically requested that Sadiq Khan be excluded from the UK state banquet: "On immigration, he's a disaster." As mayor of London, Khan has no powers over immigration.

I'll never not post this every single time I see it.

Capitalism really striving hard to make all of the dumbest ideas from Black Mirror our lived reality as soon as possible.

AI-induced psychosis is really bad but religion-induced psychosis has damaged far more people and been around far longer.

We're gonna have death camps because too many very sensitive strong male chauvinists got disemvoweled in the Jezebel comment sections for calling every author, subject, and fellow commenter "whores".

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

Animate the base? Take on a cause? Nah! What we're doing is going after the seven very iffy Republican voters living in the Pittsburgh suburbs.

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

truly one of the most unintentionally funny things i've ever seen someone post online about themself

i think how we got here is that the right's favorite move is working the ref and the radical centrist's favorite move is self flattery that they could never be worked

Oh well.

Radley, if you don’t know, was a canary in the coal mine at WaPo Opinions, writing deeply reported pieces about police violence, which were utterly ignored by Opinions editors, who seemed hellbent on them NOT being seen during the peak of national interest. Then laid off for vague traffic reasons.

Guy buys the eagle flag shirt on eBay the day after the shooting, shares it in Discord, and then gets phone calls from the police force local to the eBay seller, who say they are calling on behalf of the FBI. What?

You people are cowards. I'm out. @washingtonpost.com

Kash Patel this morning: "And I'll see you at Valhalla." Alex Jones immediately after the shooting: "What a warrior, what a viking. If he does die, he's going straight to Valhalla. That's a real warrior-king's death right there." What is with these fucking guys and Valhalla???

like this is the most irresponsible level of hysteria i’ve ever seen. most of these people are either paid by the republican party, or are high level advisors and allies. this is insane

Something tells me this administration generally and Kash Patel in particular will not be approaching this complaint with much diplomatic sensitivity.

Was really hoping for Mario Maker 3 so there'd be at least several years more of streaming content to watch, but now I'm stuck with Suika Game Planet which will actually force me to buy a Switch finally.

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish. The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

It's striking, but no longer surprising, that the left views the right's calls for political violence through direct action or policy choices as violent rhetoric, while the right views the left's accurate warnings over their desire to enact violence as violent rhetoric.

Here is a video of a right wing woman handing out Wawa gift cards to FBI agents who have been pulled off their assignments, and tasked with things like watching MPD arrest shoplifters, and standing in front of the Wawa for several hours a day.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Yeah, @jaywillis.net nails it: "One possible reason the conservative justices usually don’t explain their pro-Trump shadow docket opinions: Their pro-Trump shadow docket opinions might read like this."

This piece quotes Trump relaying a second-hand claim, from an unnamed friend, that armed thugs used to routinely invade DC restaurants during dinnertime, but makes no effort to fact check that. Call the MPD? The WaPo Metro desk? NOPE. Poor Matt Viser shrugs: "His claims are difficult to check."

Engineer here! Not very controversial in the least!

These were the same people that put on biblical end-times hysterics during the Jade Helm exercises. Even military personnel being off-base doing training was an unacceptable attempt at a military coup. But now they're horny for even the vaguest and fakest justifications for real martial law.

"If I’m on duty and come across a group of masked, armed individuals with no visibly identifying markers of law enforcement attempting to force someone into an unmarked car, I will treat it as an armed kidnapping until the abductors are able to prove they have the legal authority to arrest someone."

The Department of Homeland Security cowardly pushed people around at the Portland protest.

Losing my fucking mind. Are federal agents wearing nothing more than t-shirts and jeans (no POLICE vests, no badges, nothing) allowed to open carry handguns in DC now? Are all police expected to recognize each other or something?

Happening now: smelled a chemical smell wafting from the parking lot, went to check it out. It's Chicago ICE agents unwrapping and assembling a stack of fresh riot shields.

Update to this story: After attempting to charge the delivery work with assault against the agents who attacked him, the DC US Attorney's Office has filed to dismiss charges against Christian Enrique Carías Torres, per @qjurecic.bsky.social.

Seem to recall when the Biden admin was (misleadingly) accused of putting pressure on social media companies to change their editorial policies (most of which were rejected) we were told by a large segment of the population (and a few judges) that it was the worst violation of the 1st Amendment ever

Toledo as the Jammu and Kashmir of the Great Lakes is certainly an interesting formulation...
