Grown adults using the word WOKE, because they lack the courage to come out and say that they don't give a sh*t about other people, will never fail to amaze me.

ICE was already PREFUNDED for 4 YEARS in the OBBB passed in July. The money is in a slush fund. So if you give away the rest you give away everything. Do these people think we are stupid? They must. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Do they all get deported now? Is that how this works?

breathtaking

The Staircase of Oppression open.substack.com/pub/howthing... "Rich people do not actually want to live in an authoritarian state. Such a state does not grant them freedom, and having unfettered freedom is the entire reason to be rich."

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

It’s been 8 days and we still don’t know the names of the men who murdered Alex Pretti. DHS must be abolished. No ICE. No palantir surveillance police state. There’s no “fixing” a sociopathic agency designed to trample on our freedoms.

I love to be proven wrong when I'm tempted to think Congress is useless!

Trump trying to criminalize literal whistle blowers. You mean people who leak incriminating material. No, people who blow on whistles.

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

CONSERVATIVES: The dignity of work is real. WORKERS: Good! We want better pay, improved benefits, safe working conditions, transparent contract negotiations, paid family leave, and to be treated with respect! Just to start with! CONSERVATIVES: Uhm, not like that.

Trump is, after all America's greatest suer of all time.

We now have nearly 160 cosponsors signed on to impeach Kristi Noem. Keep pushing!

It is profoundly sad that a white man's concealed carry guns rights is what is getting certain people to finally understand that the US government does not give a shit about laws or rights or lives. This is not a criticism of the victim. This is a criticism of the US's sympathies & priorities.

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.

I mean….

All future appropriations bills should make it clear that zero dollars can be used for any social media post that is not a barebones announcement. And no pictures. Zero dollars for any propaganda. Not just this fascist crap. But also def none for fascist crap.

I can't repeat this enough.

"The world’s great religions can all be viewed as being, among other things, elaborate moral and social technologies designed to cabin and channel the craving for revenge." Unfortunately, half of American Christianity has forsaken that responsibility altogether. www.theunpopulist.net/p/why-is-the...

Sometimes I think about how Kristi Noem bragged about shooting a puppy

#FFS Couldn't they just try running a candidate people want to vote for?

Quote of the day: "The Italian philosopher Benedetto Croce quipped that fascism had created a fourth form of government, “onagrocracy,” a government by braying asses, to add to Aristotle’s traditional triumvirate of tyranny, oligarchy and democracy." consortiumnews.com/2026/01/12/c...

A Tale of Failure in Four Parts

Granted I’m biased but I actually don’t think that looking like a lesbian should justify summary executions.

If you are waiting for a sense of conscience to kick in, you are fooling yourself. This will stop when we make it stop.

BREAKING: Trump says it would be an honor to accept Lee Greenwood's 1985 Grammy award for Top Male Vocal Performance.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

What we all knew.

The Consequences of Rejecting "Defund the Police" open.substack.com/pub/howthing...

Opinion | The grandchildren of immigrants are just as repugnant as the immigrants themselves. Some end up dedicating their lives to separating parents from children and sending innocent people to torture prisons. by Stephen Miller

A podcast that is only, or primarily, on YouTube isn’t a podcast if you can’t watch that video without being on YouTube. The word “podcast” specifically *means* not being beholden to any tech giants like YouTube/Google/Alphabet. anildash.com/2024/02/05/w...

A fundamental part of the right wing belief system is refusing to ever take accountability, lying, and blaming everyone else for your own mediocrity

This is a well-known disinformation tactic: releasing verified false material alongside genuine records to degrade trust in the archive itself. The Kremlin information doctrine also uses this type of “noise injection” to create uncertainty, enabling later claims that the full record is unreliable.

Somehow I expected better from Newsom on that, but I suppose he cashes AIPAC checks like American politicians do.

In this Indiana diner, everyone has three questions: How's the breaded tenderloin? Is the quarry hiring? And why is the Bloomington Herald-Times running articles that lack quotes from Stephen Miller?

How did it change you as a law school to give torture memo author and evident war criminal John Yoo a tenured professorship?

Looking for the truth about what it was like inside CECOT? Earlier this year, we spoke to the men the Trump administration deported to El Salvador. Hear about what they endured, in their own words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8INs141xeQ
