The White House rolled out a new website with a full-blown recast of the historical record of January 6, 2021, hailing the pro-Trump mob who stormed the US Capitol five years ago as “peaceful protesters” who were provoked by law enforcement. https://cnn.it/49Gy9Pj

Attorneys at the Education Department’s civil rights office describe working in a “dismissal factory.” Most discrimination complaints filed by students’ families have been dismissed without ever being investigated, records show. (Published December 2025)

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

America has never had a president whose admired role model for governing is its enemy's leader.

Former Special Counsel, Jack Smith, explicitly states: "President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy. These crimes were committed for his benefit. The attack that happened at the Capitol, part of this case, does not happen without him."

Thank you Eugene Goodman for saving Democracy during the Capitol insurrection #January6th

An image I’ll never forget.

NBC: “A federal judge Tuesday ordered Trump ally Lindsey Halligan to explain why she continues to call herself the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia even though another judge determined she was unlawfully appointed to the position…” 🤔 www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Authorities at the CDC are now calling this year’s flu season “moderately severe,” with an estimated 11 million illnesses in the U.S. so far.

No amount of gaslighting will convince sane and rational Americans that we didn’t see what we saw on January 6, 2021. Let’s cut through some of the bullshit and lies…

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for the violence on January 6th? McGovern: That’s offensive. What kind of sick human being would say that? I was here that day.

The Trump administration is freezing more than $10 billion in federal child care and ​family assistance funds to California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New ‌York, the Department of Health and Human Services said.

Jared Kushner has somehow found a place at Coalition of the Willing press conference with Scholz, Zelensky, Macron, Starmer and Witkoff. Kushner has no official position in the US government.

5 years ago, there was a bloody, lawless, and deadly attack on our nation’s Capitol. A group of criminal thugs broke out in riots and stormed our Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election at the direction of the President of the United States.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for what happened on January 6th? Lieu: The White House’s statement is batshit crazy.

absolute dogshit news. if you're unfamiliar with Tarr's work and need a place to start, I couldn't recommend Werckmeister Harmonies more - one of the most gorgeous bummers ever made.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

R.I.P. Legendary Hungarian director Béla Tarr, who did an American Cinematheque @amcinematheque.bsky.social Bleak Week Q&A at the Aero Theatre for his film THE TURIN HORSE in June 2023.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

The weirdest thing about Americans is how many of them think their laws apply to every person in the world. But they're certain other countries' laws don't apply to them.

When accepting Soundgarden's induction into the 2025 Rock & Roll of Fame, bassist Hiro Yamamoto shared that his parents were incarcerated in Japanese American incarceration camps, imploring "let’s not add another story like this to history." www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWFJ...

"And now, twice-weekly..." BBC trailer for "Doctor Who: Castrovalva" (1982). #DoctorWho

This story is terrific. A woman infiltrated a racist dating site, used chatbots to get info from horny incels, and then leaked it all. What are the odds one of the accounts on WhiteDate belongs to a White House staffer?

One of the most lopsided results you'll ever see in a poll, from our weekend Washington Post poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

This story details that the teen they detained for six months was just about to graduate high school early at the age of 16. Definitely the kind of irredeemable criminal monster we don’t want in America.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

The Truth about Venezuela.

The super secure SCIF Mar-a-Lago. What a pack of careless, incompetent amateurs.

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

NEW: Trump tells The Atlantic, “we do need Greenland, absolutely. We need it for defense.” This comes one day after Stephen Miller’s wife, Katie Miller, posted an image of Greenland covered in a U.S. flag with the text “SOON.”

Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social : "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading, occupying, running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

Reminder: Susie Wiles told Vanity Fair's Chris Whipple: "If he were to authorize some activity on land, then it's war, then [we'd need] Congress."

Swalwell: He couldn't run a casino, and now he's going to run a country in South America while he fails to run a country in North America?

Chris Murphy: "Clearly this is wildly illegal. This is a president who has been operating illegally since he was sworn in -- stealing from the American people, seizing spending power, now dragging America into a war overseas ... Donald Trump's entire foreign policy is corrupt."

"America is an oil company with an army." —George Carlin

In a nutshell.

Re-Watching Strange Invaders (1983)! Who do you turn to nowadays when there's a crackpot story about aliens in a small mid-west town kidnapping people? With the news today, the story seems way too tame & plausible to be tabloid material...in fact, so would the government plans to bomb the town!

Every day that the pushback by Congress is muted, the more we can be sure Trump will take it asa green light to invade another country.

Yeah, people are fixating on a Cabinet Secretary being given a sovereign country to run because the president waged war without congressional approval and kidnapped the old leader. Weird that they’d get hung up on that.

How does an entire administration not understand this basic reality? Venezuelan oil is not profitable. Heavy crude takes years to extract profitably. It requires massive upfront investment, specialized infrastructure, refineries configured for heavy oil, long timelines, and political stability. 1/2

Himes: "I was delighted to hear that Tom Cotton, chairmen of the Senate Intel Committee, has been in regular contact with the admin. I've had zero outreach and no D I'm aware of has. So apparently we're now in a world where the legal obligation to keep Congress informed only applies to your party."

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

One Battle After Another became just the fourth film to win the National Society of Film Critics, LAFCA, NYFCC, and NBR honors for Best Picture. Only one of the three took Best Picture so far...

Nixon insisted the bombing of Cambodia was just targeting Viet Cong outposts there and not meant to undermine its government, but the bombings destabilized the Lon Nol government and paved the way for the Khmer Rouge’s killing fields and the massacre of more than a million people.
