I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Monster movies aren't the same as they used to be. People wanted to shag Dracula for the longest time, after all.

Delete the Internet!! 😭💀💀 Immediately.

The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich. – John Berger

People's Dispatch: "🇪🇨 Indigenous Ecuadorian leader speaks out about the attacks from the right-wing government amid the national strike in Ecuador 'We are community members, we are farmers, we are mothers, we are professionals too, but we are not terrorists.'

This is great because this look is perfect for when you are either ready to go to a night party on the beach in Ibiza or challenge Paul Atreides to a deathmatch.

Pt1 🧵: Greta Thunberg deported to Athens says, "There's a live-streamed Genocide in front of our eyes in Gaza. No one will be able to say they didn't know this was happening. The Global Samud Flotilla only existed because our leaders failed. Our international systems are betraying Palestinians."

3 years in Rikers. Never convicted. Kalief Browder, arrested at 16, was trapped because hif family couldn't afford to pay bail. He endured solitary confinement, and the trauma cost him his life. #KaliefBrowder #JusticeReform.

A lot of attention has been paid to overseas aid cut by the Trump administration, but this brilliant piece of visual data journalism illustrates the devastating cuts to food banks here at home: 94 million pounds of food that were never delivered projects.propublica.org/trump-food-c...

“One of the people who marched past my house on July 8, 2000, was a woman I didn’t know about then, but who had done more than I could’ve understood, at just a decade into life, to shape the America I grew up in: Mamie Till-Mobley, the mother of Emmett Till,” MFP News Editor Ashton Pittman writes.

I recall a video of Peter Jennings, a highly respected, former news anchor for ABC, at a gathering of top world leaders. The thing is, he's a journalist so why didn't he report on what happened behind those doors? Why was he involved if not to report on it? These journos BEEN disappointing.

Employees say their out-of-office messages were changed without their consent to include language blaming Democrats for the shutdown.

If you’ve ever felt imposter syndrome just remember that Bari Weiss is now heading up CBS News

Obviously a lie. I have NEVER seen that guy at the annual Antifa Bake Sale.

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

It's good that Takei-san is vocal on these events. He is a known figure and has first-hand awareness of America's willingness to turn innocent citizens into enemies.

Does it work as well as FOSKA does with condensed milk, tho?🤔

Thank you to the Alaska Raptor Center for telling the truth that birders already knew: every bald eagle cry you hear in an advertisement is a red-tailed hawk.

It's no surprise but still annoying that this site is no better than the rest who surrendered foolishly to the fallout when that racist got his neck out.

New post-sex meme just dropped!

Rest in peace, Kimberly Hébert Gregory. Nicole Williams on Craig of the Creek You will be missed ❤️

Look at this accompanying photo and realize that what was once a monumentous achievement has now been reduced to a conveyor-belt experience for the moneyed idle. The pristine mountain is now littered with frozen garbage, human waste and the bodies of a few poor souls.

I learned about Sports Thumb Jim Gavin dropping out of the Irish Presidential election from @tupped.bsky.social's The Gist this morning and I owe it to you to share this relevant passage, which got my week off to a great start:

Community pooled their money to pay for her green card—then ICE locked her up in a private prison instead. Agents detained her when she showed up for final green card appointment—a process that lasted years & cost $16,009. Family was waiting at her house planning to celebrate over bowls of Pozole.

The same people who literally built this site are now being banned by Jay and mods. Black people, trans folks and sex workers were here making this place beautiful when you were still on X thinking you could wait out the Nazis.

I remember when New Yorkers put up posters in a desperate attempt to locate loved ones after 9/11. Now they are desperately looking for loved ones disappeared by the government of this country.
