MEMPHIS: “A former Memphis police officer who earned the nickname ‘Taser Face’ after investigators found he excessively used his Taser multiple times is behind bars on a DUI charge.” www.actionnews5.com/2025/10/23/f...

Tell me that you DON'T believe Trump is tearing down the East Wing at least in part because that's where the office of the First Lady is located. Like tell me how that's not a giant FU.

you can’t really call this anything other than cowardice

Corruption goes courtside.

Trump waves around renderings of his new ballroom, which appears to be entirely gold

Until Chloe Grace Moretz came out, she never really made sense to me. Now she does. (I have no intention to stereotype or oversimplify this person I don't know. It just makes her more relatable and understandable to know it.)

“The president demolished the White House.” “The president politicized the FBI and DOJ to go after his opponents.” “The president is why life is more expensive today.” “The president was besties with Epstein.” Messaging isn’t hard and makes you wonder why Dems aren’t saying this every day.

UVA agreed to the "Guidance for Recipients of Federal Funding Regarding Unlawful Discrimination" (link down thread). UVA pays nothing and does not get an outside monitor (unlike Columbia). Critically, this doesn't stop the feds from opening new inquiries. federalinfo.virginia.edu/sites/federa...

I mean, can't pretend he'd be mad.

Maybe this is obvious to everyone but…why does the White House need a ballroom? It has enough space for state dinners, no? Is this for dances? Weddings? Storing classified documents? Just confused so the reason would be helpful thx

😕

The East Wing, which got razed for President Trump’s new ballroom today, has some really interesting history.

TFW you find out that the new Troll 2 movie isn’t a remake of Troll 2 but it’s the sequel to Norway’s version Godzilla

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

Not enough of you believe me right now, but "Rebuild The White House" is going to become one of the most popular slogans in American political history

republicans have weaponized patriotism and the flag and loving america etc. for so long, they assume it's their birthright. call me a crazy optimist but I think that stuff can only carry you so far when you're shitting on Americans, sending in troops, and LITERALLY DESTROYING THE WHITE HOUSE.

If Joe Biden or Barack Obama or George W Bush had said “I’m adding an addition to The White House that will not damage the existing building” & then tore down The East Wing, what would mainstream news say? @sulliview.bsky.social @jayrosen.bsky.social @katiecouric.bsky.social @jimacosta.bsky.social

Thanks to Murray and his ALP pals, weather reports like this will become increasingly scary and weird

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

My daughter is always kind enough to text “landed” whenever she travels but tonite it autocorrected to “stranded” so that was not my favorite thing

Breaking: Water is Wet.

BREAKING: A court ordered the Department of Defense to stop censoring educational materials discussing race and gender in schools on military bases. Books removed from the schools must be returned to the shelves immediately.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

The longer the govt is shut down the more people get their renewals, and the more people who aren't already convinced will realize that the Republicans are lying that it's about Healthcare for undocumented immigrants. Also this bill is impossible

Why have we never had a movie starring Sam Waterston and Sam Rockwell?

Mr. Mamdani, what do you think of the calls to include a Vegeta balloon alongside Goku at the Thanksgiving parade? Piccolo as well

Watching last weekend's SNL with my wife. Neither of us understands Role Model. Best theory is hers: "Is this... Horse girl rock?"

It's almost like the Republican refusal to invest in renewable power is hurting our economic future or something.

I fear that schools being willing to drop diversity programs without a fight shows how flimsy their commitment to inclusion was in the first place. People fight for things they truly believe in.

This is because the feds won't stop gassing our neighborhoods so they can flee and, by extension, are also repeatedly gassing the cops. What a moment to be alive

Gold is over $4000/oz and silver is at a 45 year high. This economy is a dumpster fire

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants. Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

“Friday night massacre underway at CDC” according to NY Times reporter. Scientists, staff, “disease detectives” RIFed by the dozens.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The Republican Party is against special ed because they are the party of eugenics. If you have a kid with an IEP, they don't think your kid deserves help. And it's only a matter of time before the come out and say that you shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education. America’s children deserve better than this.

Imagine that

If you are a Republican, and you have a kid with an IEP, this is the moment when you understand that you may support Republicans, but they don't support your family.

The U.S. Department of Education fired nearly everyone in the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services in a wave of new layoffs that began Friday, according to the union representing the agency's employees. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

Due to Tennessee’s abortion ban, Mayron Hollis was forced to continue a pregnancy that threatened her life. An emergency delivery left her without a uterus and her baby with medical issues. This was their first year in a post-Roe state (pub. Feb. 2024):

Hey, you idiotic propagandists at the New York Post: God Bless America isn't the national anthem. It's a SHOW TUNE written by Irving Berlin.

My 2yo just informed me that her favorite food is gummy bears wrapped in salami. Then she held eye contact while wrapping a gummy bear in salami and eating it.

If you think you know why US newspapers died, this feature documentary now streaming for free on PBS might surprise you. It wasn't the Internet. Newspapers were specifically targeted by vulture capitalists. I composed the score for the film, which features electric cello & Crowfoot guitars.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The best "defense" of SCOTUS' hypocrisy is that there's an asymmetry between how Democrats and Republicans wield executive power. Broadly—Dems want to give things (health care, asylum, foreign aid, loan relief, civil rights) while Republicans want to take things away. SCOTUS makes the latter easier.

This is the logic of white supremacy. Everyone starves so a couple of psychopaths can maintain a false sense of superiority.

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.
