LA Opera claps back

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

The swirling gases are breathtaking.

i’m at the anti-ICE protest i’m at the anti-war with iran protest i’m at the combination anti-ICE anti-war with iran protest

It’s the same guy you dumb shit

“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me

In case you were wondering, Polymarket had yet another spate of likely inside traders betting that the US would strike Iran by February 28. Per the due diligence investigation service Bubblemaps, the wallets used were created 24 hours earlier. The Pentagon Pizza Index has been replaced.

I hate to say it, but I'm beginning to lose faith in the FIFA Peace Prize.

CNN is saying the Iranian attack happened after Trump “lost patience with negotiations”. I don’t believe it. The negotiations were cover. This was always the plan. The scale of the military buildup showed that.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

it's molting season for RFK Jr

Hey, Democrats, go ahead and attend the State of the Union, but only if you react in real time with this silhouette as your spirit guide.

look if a Democrat wants me to be really fired up about voting for them, they will promulgate the Crimes Against Humanity Reparations Act which gives US citizenship to everyone targeted by the Trump administration.

Chaser: the 15 minute interview Colbert did with Talarico and posted to YouTube. (The FCC should really know who Barbra Streisand is by now.) youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A

Shot: Colbert explaining to his audience last night that the Trump administration ordered him not to air an interview with Texas Democrat and Senate candidate James Talarico - or even mention his name. (Scroll to 1:30) youtu.be/oh7DPSP65JA

"Why can't we have a calm discussion about AI?" Cuz the data centers are being built carelessly and at speed, polluting poor neighborhoods, cuz it's drinking my fucking aquifer, and cuz all my art and writing have been plagisrized while the worst assholes crow about my impending obsolescense...

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

I wanna personally congratulate Hunter Biden for not only being nowhere near the Epstein files but for having rock-solid reviews from sex workers for respectfulness and tipping

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.

Venerable magazine Harper's Bazaar is running its short story contest again, with the winner receiving "the chance" of publication in the magazine. Just one catch: per the wording of the guidelines, _just by entering_ you transfer copyright ownership of your story to Harper's parent, Hearst. 1/3

In WWII, there was only one right side. It wasn't perfect, there were many abuses, but on the other side there were Nazis. You're having a hard time picking a side? Fuck off.

"you fool, that wasn't even my final form!"

Today in life under competitive authoritarianism

Go fash, lose cash

Trade policy as middle school cafeteria politics: You can shake kids for quarters… until they decide you don’t get a seat at their table. Then the “tough guy” is just eating alone with mystery meat.

We already have a warrant requirement. It's called the US Constitution. If that's not fucking binding them, what the hell does your little agreement mean?

The lyrics of "Streets of Minneapolis," released Wednesday, describe how "a city aflame fought fire and ice 'neath an occupier's boots," which Bruce Springsteen calls "King Trump's private army." https://to.pbs.org/45Xlwxp

Let us count the ways your rights have been violated.

I think we're keeping the Christmas tree up this year. All year. Because we can.

I don't keep doomers in my feed but since apparently some folks do: "celebrate each and every win, loudly" is Organizing 101

From "Napoleon's Maxims of War."

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove. people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed. ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos. 9 TOTAL. ABOLISH ICE.

Minnesota ICE-watchers did this. By relentlessly documenting ICE/BP/DHS abuses—taking on personal risk to do so—they’ve gotten the horrors into more information streams. Got more people to pay attention, undermined Trump regime lies, and shifted the stances of some Democratic officeholders.

I will never. ever. forgive this.

What Schumer is telling you here is that his strategy is just to whine about how bad things are. That's it. Just whine, and hope that wins the midterms. Replace this man. Come on. He's done.

oh it's going to be a Recession recession

chicago may have the papal mandate but los angeles carries the mark of the beast

Up there with the criminal defense team that hosted Shut the Fuck Up Fridays on YouTube, accompanying themselves on guitar on such hits as "Don't Eat Your Weed."

Read the whole thread. "If your art didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be working so hard to steal it."
