To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally." In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone."

The ocean freighting industry is woke now (the containers spell Renee, for Renee Good). www.reddit.com/r/Tacoma/com...

They're not Good Tsar Bad Boyars'ing themselves out of this no matter how hard you try

We're not stuck in a holy war with these guys, we're up against a growing hoard of Warhammer nerds who are satire resistant.

I have been reliably informed by members of this government that losing access to twitter is one of the worst things that can befall a human being so this may be the single harshest consequence they have imposed on one of their own

Every one of those military guys who are stunned that protesters in Minnesota can be organized shoved off the planning for their military unit's family appreciation days or unit morale days to the one female officer or NCO in the unit.

I'm deep in #Leviathan Threads content where you can find #Leviathan #Facts in the form of images like this one

I have had "a giant MALE mystical sea creature" stuck in my dome all day like I can't stop thinking it

a not insignificant number of people on Threads seem to believe the snow storm was The Government's attempt to refreeze the Leviathan, the world-eating serpent, which was getting loose (to eat the world, I assume)

Literally EVERYTHING else aside: Officers involved in shootings - even shootings that everybody agrees were justified - always take time off to emotionally process their experience, go to therapy, process it. Sending somebody right back out says "this is an everyday part of your job, expect it."

What a graphic. @postopinions.bsky.social @scottlincicome.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/int...

I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

Bolsonaro supporters protesting and demanding that he is set free got hit by a lightning bolt, 3 persons are in hospital now.

i think the "immigration turns high trust societies into low trust societies" people were already on really shaky ideological ground but now they're watching neighbors helping one another and calling them paid antifa agitators

Patel is lying about the law as it is traditionally understood, as it is written. He’s telling the truth about law under Trumpism: you only have a right if they deign to acknowledge it; you have no right to do anything they don’t want you to do.

Megan McArdle is the perfect op-ed voice for Jeff Bezos' WaPo. As the rise of fascism in the US becomes more and more evident, her response is not to acknowledge that critics were right, but to get ever angrier at those who correctly saw everything she missed or dismissed.

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

“After the shooting, bystanders gathered and screamed profanities at federal officers, calling them “cowards” and telling them to go home. One officer responded mockingly as he walked away, telling them: “Boo hoo.” Agents elsewhere shoved a yelling protester into a car.”

Let's work. (hope is nice but this is something that requires effort)

By a Trump appointee.

Understand that 370 days ago even bringing a motion like this would probably have been treated as sanctionably frivolous Today it was granted ex parte

A federal judge effectively ordered the U.S. government not to cover up evidence that it illegally executed a civilian, at the request of local prosecutors seeking to investigate federal agents for murder. Don’t want to overstate things but it feels reminiscent of the run-up to the Civil War.

It's such a contrast from these MAGA freaks who're whipping their guns out at girl scouts ringing their doorbells, openly fantasizing about getting the opportunity to use their toy on someone, brandishing it while ordering a coffee, etc.

Pretti saw someone being attacked and peppersprayed and his first thought of how to help in that situation was *not* an edgelord mall katana incel teenage fantasy. He helped her to her feet, asked if she was ok, blocked her from the armed guys so she could get away from them.

The rightwing gets guns and they're openly fantasizing about using them, telling everyone around them just how eager they are to use them on someone else, "I *wish* someone would mess with me" kinds of edgelord nerd bullshit.

The idea that the British Raj respected the rule of law is legitimately one of the funniest things I've ever read in my entire life

Lifetime sentence for Bovino is the squishy moderate position.

"Every. Single. One. Of. Us. Should. Strike." (r/nursing) h/t @mementomorty.bsky.social

Prison is the moderate position.

BARTIROMO: There is outrage across the country that there is another killing. Someone is dead at the hands of Border Patrol. What can you tell us? KASH PATEL: You do not get to attack law enforcement officials in this country without any repercussions. We not messing around.

Notice the whole time in this interview that he calls Alex Pretti, who was shot at least 10 times, a "suspect"

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

There's something calming and mesmerizing in watching this man expertly drizzle squiggles on top of fresh chocolates going by on a convener belt. Of course it also conjures the famous I Love Lucy episode as someone posted the gif below.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

I did a chore please clap

I think it is important that Greg Bovino, personally, is prosecuted for what he has done and continues to do in service of all of this

looking at reddit.com/r/all right now is wild. 80% of the posts are anti ice from every kind of subreddit like NBA, climbing, nursing, batman, catbongos and music

A federal judge issues a restraining order against the feds, barring them from "destroying or altering evidence" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

this is stuff that is irrelevant to the goals of flattering Trump or driving national conversation so makes sense to cut it was nice having the local paper be world class while it lasted I guess

… Furthermore, according to two other sources with knowledge of the situation, top officials in the Trump White House reminded their federal colleagues in and outside the West Wing that Pretti should be referred to as a “terrorist” in written statements and public messaging, no matter his background

By Saturday afternoon, some Trump admin. personnel had already begun scouring the internet and other resources trying to find information on Alex Pretti, including social media posts, that could tie him to what Team Trump call “extremists,” two sources familiar with the matter tell @zeteo.com …

I did a chore please clap

Huge scandal that Minneapolis has been crawling with terrorists this whole time. They've been living among us undercover as poets and nurses. And would've continued to, had it not been for the work of our bravest child kidnappers

the nba postponed a game because the united states government is killing its citizens

He died, doing what he did in life, trying to help people, trying to ease suffering. I didn't know him, but I'll never forget him.
