I'm obviously not even remotely involved in police recruitment, but I think a public offer to re-hire any officer fired from ICE for defying an illegal order would be a nice way to deflate those silly Join The Nazi ads.

This can't be real.

Pretty comprehensive list of KOMO advertisers from someone who did the work: www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/co...

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

Certiorari "before judgment" is how #SCOTUS takes up a full appeal *before* the intermediate federal courts have heard it. It used to be exceedingly rare. For instance, there wasn't a *single* grant of such expedited review b/w August 2004 & February 2019. This is the *23rd* such grant since then.

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

Never mind

Imagine: 1. Picking a fight with Jimmy Kimmel. 2. Losing.

lol

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

"pwease stop making fun of us" is what you do when you're on the verge of regime consolidation

This is such a bad read for many of us who made the move. Links are not deprioritized here. My readership has exploded since moving to Bluesky, and my mental health and work life balance has improved now that I’m not subject to constant death threats and brain rot that lives on twitter.

Sun Tzu in his Art of War once said "those who save consumables will be buried with them."

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

TikTok will be co-owned by China and Trump allies, Paramount was sold to a pro-Trump billionaire who's also set to buy Warner Bros, X is owned by an apartheid-bred fascist, WaPo and Meta are owned by Trump-cowering billionaires, and Murdoch owns the Fox empire. Here's why media has a liberal bias.

Lots to say about this sordid affair but this should have been a public scandal within 48 hours tops. This is a matter of public justice, denying the public this information and prosecution was a failure.

“We’re grateful to RFK Jr.—otherwise we might put something unnatural into our bodies, like vaccines.”

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

pundits spent the last decade warning america that lefty wokeism was our generation’s chief danger and now that it’s indisputable that rightwing fascism is and always was the real threat, they have to remove political valance from the word “woke” so that they can pretend they were right all along.

Funny that a few days ago saying "Fuck Donald Trump" was just an opinion but now it's an act of defiance against an oppressive regime. Congrats on making normie opposition cool.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Especially if they lack musical talent.

It's important to remember when GOP Reps and Sens are yelling about the 'violent left' that they routinely tell reporters and colleagues how theyre afraid to do this or that because their own supporters routinely threaten violence agains them.

democrats must embrace war mindset

This is true and what's sad / funny is that actual protest elders are incredibly important organizers and most of the people trying to claim that mantle have no interest or qualifications for the role.

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

the DOJ, nationwide, files about seventy thousand criminal cases a year. if every single one of those cases were filed against a No Kings protester from just one of the protests this year, that would be 1.1% of all attendees.

My favorite sign of the night.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

lol

I am proud to be born a Muslim. I am proud to be born in Somalia. I am proud to have become an American. None of you can change that no matter how much you rage tweet. Drink some water and touch grass.

bob iger lapping up whatever slop trump tells him to while costco is about to soft-launch five new experimental genders

Dutch late night TV has its take

white guy who signed up for the "opposed to donald trump app" using the same email address he uses for netflix, sitting on a chair turned backwards: y'all know that actual resistance fighters used code names

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

and a retired meteorologist shall lead us

Let’s be clear: Trump is weaponizing the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk to attack his critics, silence dissent, and escalate his assault on the First Amendment. We fought a revolution to guarantee free speech in America. We’re not going back.

When we told you democracy was on the ballot we weren’t lying.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Congrats to the happy couple!!! 🎉

These Quisling fucking cowards. Let it be known that it was us who saved their worthless asses in the historical record.

Bluesky is wild man...

Disney+ gone, if they want my money they can respect my country.

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

If you were to melt the face for a few minutes it would look more like the real thing.
