remember when Alito spoke back at the State of the Union because Obama had the gall to say the true statement that Citizens United would "open the floodgates for special interests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections"

Here's the thing I will continue saying every time this came up: Kamala Harris did not mention trans people in her campaign. She went out of her way to avoid it. She dodged every question on trans rights. And then she still lost. So what Newsom wants is *open hostility* to trans rights

The Trump tariffs are the highest tax increase on the American public since World War II Yes, you read that correctly What's worse, he did it while taking health insurance away from 20 million people And giving $75 billion to ICE so they can hunt US citizens #TrumpTariffChaos

lol cool

A huge knock-on effect of having our federal reps and a lot of statewide politicians being quiet about what has happened here is Tom and the media have dictated the terms and lots of people are starting to feel fatigued even as the danger hasn’t subsided. People need to be told to keep fighting.

The USA men's team is getting cooked in the comments on this post, lol

lewis skolnick, rip

bastards

judo *has* to have a name for this throw already

goddammit

oh shit

“he was 27 and his mom said he loved playing in the snow and now they won’t even tell her how he died” this one really fucked me up they came here because they were being persecuted by law enforcement and then he was killed by law enforcement

SCOOP: IL-9 congressional candidate and current state senator Mike Simmons had police called on him in Buena Park while canvassing for votes. No arrest was made. Here’s the video of the interaction @senmikesimmons.bsky.social recorded and shared with me.

as I said three weeks ago, I'll believe Eileen will do something when I see charges filed, and not before until then, I will assume she's maliciously complying with/filibustering in response to pressure

Gotta read @alexkirshner.com on the men's team post-gold locker-room talk with Kash Patel and Trump at the expense of the women's team. "A particular bummer here was the visible, bent-over laughter of overtime hero Jack Hughes, whose mom literally works for the women’s team."

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

BREAKING Charles Kushner, the US Ambassador to France, has been banned from meeting with members of the French government after he failed to show up to a diplomatic summons with the French Foreign Minister.

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

It really is fascinating how overt it now is that there are certain - really not controversial - ideas that you aren’t allowed to say on television.

lol andrew's nickname from his detail #lastweektonight

One of the first things we were taught at Quantico was that there is never a moment in which you are not representing the Bureau; but, then again, we earned our place there, and weren’t granted its directorship as a sinecure for partisan malfeasance and a willingness to disregard the constitution.

The FBI director was partying at the Olympics and allegedly sent this message — about the person killed by government officials at Mar-a-Lago — literally as the hockey final was tied and going into overtime. Did he even know about it, let alone approve or send it?

lol that music choice #aknightofthesevenkingdoms

so FAM did the climax of The Martian but with a third trimester pregnant woman? lol

thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

lol this nurse on #thepitt is a legit ER nurse IRL? www.facebook.com/share/r/1B1o... cc @rototudor.bsky.social

I just got a call from Brittany Pettersen's office (presumably to ask me if I'm going to caucus and if I will caucus for her) and they started with "you're a strong Democrat and we want to know how you feel" and I just unloaded.

aaaaaagghhhhhhhh

Kash Patel says he now has a lead that Savannah Guthrie's mom is being held at either the NCAA Final Four or the Masters golf tournament, plans to personally investigate.

That's a wrap on another Olympics! Women athletes owned these Games: Alysa Liu, Breezy Johnson, Hilary Knight to name a few! And there's one woman, from 100 years ago, who is the real reason women are here. She was written out of history and buried in an unmarked grave. This is a 🧵 about her!

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

This is happening in cities all over the country through direct gifts, police foundations, or nonprofits—rich people are forcing an agenda of mass surveillance and elected officials never say no to “free money”

Pa. high school students are *still in custody* after being *arrested* during Friday anti-ICE walkout www.phillyburbs.com/story/news/l...

NIMBYs are bad their tactics, however, can be adopted to fight concentration camps

Andrea Pitzer wrote “One Long Night: A Global History of Concentration Camps” This is how she describes ICE detention centers “The..pre-death camp..Nazi concentration camp..we are very much mimicking that. And if they get all the beds that they have funding for, we’ll..approach the Soviet gulag”

Thy literally put it in the Louvre www.reuters.com/video/watch/...

the comments are incredibly gross - there's more in the article - which unfortunately makes the "apology" hilarious

Hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software, Persona. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet, and that was just the beginning. www.therage.co/persona-age-...
