That’s the last strike for me, but they also have a bad reputation for stealing content without attribution

there are some who caught on after J6 but at what point are elected Democrats going to realize the pleasantries behind closed doors are performative and this is genuine, not the other way around

Everyone watching at home is saying, "Just leave" like they are watching a horror movie and giving advice.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

The NHL is proud to announce that next season's Winter Classic outdoor game will feature the Toronto Maple Leafs facing off against the DHS All Stars at the newly-built ICE Detention Center Warehouse in Social Circle, Georgia.

So goes the health of the King, there follows the health of the nation

You could not ask for a better community policing opportunity than cops getting into a snowball fight with some local youths and feigning defeat when they take one to the face but instead they had to treat it like the kids were a public safety threat for playing outside

This dude committed the biggest Medicare fraud in American history and then got elected Governor and then Senator. There’s no evidence he’s ever out the public before himself, and every reason to assume every vote he’s ever taken was calibrated to steal from the public on his own behalf.

strongly recommend preemptively blocking this guy on here. he aggressively name searches anyone wo criticizes him, jesse singal, or other transphobic journalists and posts screenshots with identifying info on twitter to encourage harassment

have been in a generally grumpy mood for days and felt better today and realized it's because the sun is out and i have a large glass of water. i'm literally just a plant that's been cursed with the ability to complain.

lmfao "my politics are NOT inscrutable, i think everyone should have healthcare but some people should starve"

Turns out that if you spend years roaring endless abuse at your own supporters while fighting to impress people who hate you, then you wind up very unpopular. Shouldn’t professional politicians and commentators have been able to recognise this *immediately*, and not *six years later*?

Look how’s she’s prompting him to talk about the nostalgia of large winter snowstorms and look how she responds when he wants to talk about something else. Corporatized local news is quite the cesspool itself

Non-Jews need to stop parsing Jewish identity using categories linked to defining religion strictly in terms of belief.

60 Minutes probably doesn’t need to worry about this one getting spiked by Trump at the last minute

and this just flashed into my head so idk how i feel about it yet but the willingness to share* intellectual labor is broadly representative of and proportional to good faith. *the edgier the position, the more extraördinary the claim: the edgelord's share is necessarily larger

The royalists monitoring Jean-Paul Marat: he has too much street wisdom, his heart is too big, he smoke more different than anyone, his bitch is too bad. We have to take him out.

The tragedy of John Fetterman is that he used to dress like a slob but have an encouraging spirt, making him an Oaf of Rugged Individuality, one of America’s great oaf groups. But now he dresses like a slob and whines all the time, making him an Oaf of Misery

yes, the wheels of justice are slow. agonizingly, excruciatingly slow. and oftentimes they miss or go off the tracks entirely. in fact most of the time. but occasionally, very infrequently, that big wheel of justice delivers theoretical remuneration for a handful of vested business interests

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”

Cops arrested a man who opposed a data center being built because his went ever so slightly over his allotted speaking time www.404media.co/man-opposing...

When all that you want is superficial power and internet clout, you can devote all of yourself to getting it. Those of us who want other things are naturally at a big disadvantage simply because we have to dedicate time and effort to pursuing those other goals.

Completely typical that under the pressure of actually being in power and having to make decisions, most of the clowns on the Right would prefer to go back into the cave instead and podcast

The Ethicist | I'm going to a party held by some friends who have young children. Is it still ok to snort cocaine off their toilet seat?

All my life, Dems have strived to be scrupulously above-board. Obama practically made a fetish of it. But they don't contrast themselves with the GOP! They don't make an ongoing issue of GOP corruption! They get the all the drawbacks of acting ethically & none of the public-opinion benefits!

AI filmmaking is completely unserious. You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

we are doing team building by imagining worst fucking campaigns imaginable, this is the only good primary discourse

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

I’m not crying, you’re crying 😭 😭 😭

I heard a quote from a GOP insider: “there's no money in deportations. The money’s in detention”

average european conflict over the past 1000 years is like “[french king] declares war on [french king] over claim to [italian speaking territory] based on their shared great great grandparents. both raise army of peasants consisting of 30 mutually unintelligible dialects

A young violinist was nervous about meeting with Jeffrey Epstein due to his 2008 child sex abuse conviction. Epstein reassured her by noting his friendship with @bardcollege.bsky.social’s Leon Botstein, and set up a dinner between Botstein and the musician. She soon became one of Epstein’s victims.

Bots went down and I’m out of town. Enjoy this photo I took in Newcastle Wyoming

Kind of wondering if our (Jewish community’s) remembrance of 6 million dead in the Holocaust has blinded us to the fact that the actual toll was 13 million dead. Yes, the largest group, but have forgotten that the fascists took every ethnic minority. Too many Jews today feel safe for some reason.

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message: - the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next - a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9

This is so spot on

This is 90% of rich people

If we had given "soft power" a more macho-sounding name like "master persuader force" would America have not set it on fire for sounding gay or mom-like?

Please read this long but important thread from an immigration defense attorney. If this administration is permitted to scale its current abuse, neglect, and inhumane treatment of immigrants to the breadth and scope for which they’re currently planning, we’ll all be witness to mass atrocities.

There will be a small cluster of absolute Gods born in 9 months as a result

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

Please note that she's READING this. She PREPARED this as a rebuttal for questions about Epstein. She planned this, had someone write it down, and read it.

My husband just texted me there's a downhill skier called Breezy Johnson in the same year that the ski jumpers are in trouble for letting out the crotches of their suits and this cannot be true?!
