The presidential historian the NYT quotes as an authority can’t correctly recall what happened five years ago.

Man alive. I have studied Right Wing authoritarianism for years and have watched some truly fucked up shit and today’s memorial service is maybe the most concentrated example of how messed up and disturbing that sector truly is.

it's really jarring to see how little media attention the assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their dog Gilbert received in comparison to the notable death of a non-elected leader of a right-wing organization.

Democrats must impeach FCC chair Brendan Carr over Jimmy Kimmel. Yes, we know Dems don't have the votes to actually impeach Carr. But they can use the threat of impeachment to fuel the narrative of how the GOP is coming for our freedoms. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/heres-why-...

Live your life such that Stephen Fucking Miller isn’t invited to speak at your memorial

Trump didn’t even bother to tweet or mention once the death of Officer Rose defending the CDC from a mass shooter, a former Marine who gave his life in service of this country but he’s got the entire government & cable networks covering his speech at rally for a podcaster/troll.

Incredible

Shit is getting extra super weird around here….

In an article for Salon published Sunday, writer Sophia Tesfaye argued that right-wing activist Charlie Kirk’s killing has exposed and worsened existing fractures within the MAGA movement, even as ...

🧵Where did all the Alligator detainees go? Over 1200 have vanished from federal records. By late August about 800 no longer appeared in ICE's database, while another 450 were listed with no location, only the instruction "Call ICE for details." Lawyers and families don't know where they are.

Also it’s pretty absurd to watch them go after “organized networks of funders” for nonprofit orgs as “domestic terrorism” when um…that’s exactly what they did. 🤔 Proving once again, everything they say is projection or confession.

Good point.

See this is what happens when you have a bunch of evangelical Christian Zionists, they mix up Rosh Hashanah with the Rapture. Wrong book guys, wrong book. (Early Shana Tova to all celebrating 🍎🍯)

Ice detainees hold hunger strike at Louisiana state penitentiary

This is the kind of info I come here for on a weekend, great job everyone!

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh

Fascisms also look to men to be the state's enforcers. And I'd argue that they persuade men to fill those roles by making jobs in law enforcement, military, and corrections the best path to security and esteem for men without college degrees.

Who could have imagined that a guy who uses the moniker “Ka$h” would take over the FBI and shut down the bribery investigations of his buddies?

Meet the Press put together a clip of Trump vowing in January to "bring back free speech to America," followed by him saying last Friday that negative coverage of him is "no longer free speech"

In honor of the new season of #RHOSLC, I bring you my Real Housewives intro line. #Bravo

Remember, MAGA and its mouthpiece Fox have been gunning for Kimmel since the word go.

Good now where is everybody else?

“I knew Tony Soprano. I worked with Tony Soprano. You, sir, are no Tony Soprano.”

According to MAGA it did

"One conservative whose information was included in the leak agreed with some of the sentiments connected to his name during a brief phone conversation, but stated he couldn’t remember filling out the form." We remember it so he doesn't have to!

This is the content I need.

The smart lawyers are all on the side of the pro democracy movement :-)

Useful perspective from @mstrmidnight.bsky.social who graciously helped me be less freaked out about the reality (or not) of the level of control over the U.S. population the regime could have with the $$$ injected into their secret police force aka ICE etc. Worth the long read!

Or a personal library 🤷🏻‍♀️

Kind of grimly amusing how he's not able to keep up the pretense that the censorship campaign is about Kirk, because everything has to be about him. So now he's just outright back to his longstanding tirades about how it should be illegal to be mean to him.

There is only so much gold leaf in the world after all.

I will as well.
