One of the most melodramatically malevolent federal officials ever to do it. If we live through this he should maybe become a stock villain of Italian theater.

I turned both of them into emotes

Went to a party hosted by an absolute icon

This story about the FBI director handing out challenge coins that celebrate vigilante violence came out the same week that he fired an agent for having a small rainbow flag on his desk.

The nakedly performative nature of this shit is so embarrassing

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

The sort of thinking where if accepting A and B are true means ludicrous thing C is true, and not then taking that as proof one shouldn't accept A and B, seems prevalent in tech circles. An extreme case is the chain of thought that leads from Effective Altruism to the Zizian murder cult.

FACT FOCUS: Democrats did not shut down the government to give health care to illegal immigrants.

ever wanted to give your mouth the gift of feeling like a shower wall in an area with extremely hard water?

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

There's a bigger play going on here. Slumlords coordinating with ICE to roust tenants, steal or destroy their stuff, damage the building so its uninhabitable. All to trigger legal expedited evictions, make insurance claims, and then sell to developers. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

man so absent of any redeeming qualities that his favorite pastime is just making houston worse for no apparent reason.

Welp, I’ve got a cold and Spinch’s got the Zoomies. AMA.

The NYT story left out the Charlie Kirk angle, but they did a good job proving that this 17-year-old creep was passing around nudes of his underage classmates. NYT saw the screenshots and the threats to produce more, implying that he was making deepfakes.

cool cool cool

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military. They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

My only "Hot Comics Take" is that I think comics are good and that more people should read them! And that those making the comics deserve more love, support, better pay, healthcare, and just more respect from the industry and the fans in general!

ICE really does appear to be indiscriminately gassing Chicago police officers here.

Genuinely incredible how unprofessional these guys are. One dude yelling in your face and you immediately assault them on camera?

Some snaps from my road trip to Bodega Bay this morning

Fascistic and absolutely unacceptable rhetoric from the unmoored little man who is basically running the federal government right now.

I don’t think people outside Washington, DC appreciate how bad the brain drain from the Department of Justice is. It’s in no one’s interests — neither the people’s, nor the Trump Administration — yet I do not know of a single lawyer at DOJ who hasn’t either left already or isn’t weighing leaving.

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory! Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

The show of force highlighted President Donald Trump's unprecedented use of Border Patrol agents as a surge force in major cities, rerouting personnel who would normally be tasked with guarding America’s borders with Mexico and Canada

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

my hot comic take is that most comic readers are unable to effectively engage in their chosen media. they don't know how to analyze text and apply it to the broader world around them. they don't understand themes, archetypes, authorial intent, and all media can be viewed through a political lens 1/?

had anybody let the cubs know they're playing today cause

This story shows Trump administration officials: - Continuing to use Signal casually for sensitive discussions - Discussing sending the 82nd Airborne to Portland - Suggesting that Hegseth was reluctant to do so without Trump top cover

Two. Two. They mounted a helicopter assault and destroyed an entire apartment building and zip tied all of its residents to arrest two guys for maybe being in a gang.

I knew they’d come for the archivists and librarians but honestly I assumed it would be for a reason better than “Our Special Boy wants to give his friend a sword! Give him a sword!”

Partisan gerrymanders may be legal, but only because SCOTUS said so. They are anti-democratic measures used by a party that fears losing power to hold onto control, a mechanism that lets parties choose their voters instead of letting voters choose who will represent them.

Just weeks after Republicans demanded that Democrats tone down their supposedly hateful rhetoric in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump shared a meme claiming that the Democratic Party is “THE PARTY OF HATE, EVIL, AND SATAN.”

My God. This is what happens when you have an agency filled with mostly incels.

Shame on these Americans. Please demand all your available vaccines

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

being an usamerican frank castle fan is just like. collapsing into yourself daily at the knowledge people will only see this when you want to talk about your nuanced insane little man who is really a representation about the lack of support from the government - actually just pull the trigger piglet
