This is really good. “The Border Patrol retreated from Chicago in defeat, not victory.”

"There are about a thousand of us" is devastating.

This man is such a creative genius. He and the gaslighter in chief truly deserve each other.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans: Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet. So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Man bites dog would be a better story, but dog shoots man isn’t shabby either.

A man in Pennsylvania had been cleaning a shotgun and placed it on the bed. Officers were informed that “a dog had jumped up onto the bed, causing the shotgun to go off, which openly struck the male.”

What’s behind Silicon Valley’s psychotic break with reality? Welcome to Apocalypse Capitalism. As one prominent tech VC put it: “Maybe if you aren’t trying to destroy the world, you’re not trying hard enough.” www.thenerdreich.com/silicon-vall...

Interessanter Blick eines niederländischen Forschers auf die AfD - insbesondere für die CDU: "Die AfD ist viel radikaler als Wilders - sie ist die braunste populistische Partei Europas. Keine Bewegung hat eine solchen Nähe zu Neonazis und völkischem Gedankengut." www.zeit.de/kultur/2025-...

I believe the proper word to use here is "theft." www.propublica.org/article/kris...

Same town, new spot. The “Best Friends Forever” statue of Trump and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein holding hands just reappeared in DC after federal authorities already tore it down twice. 🤣

Worth 1,000 words. This picture is so revealing about so much about this “administration.” Step back five feet from the dram of any photo about any Trump action or policy, and you’ll see the boom arms, the rigging, the floodlights…

There's a lot we have not visualized in a useful way. One of the big ones is the SHIFT in govt employment from "people who cure cancer" and "people who make sure your Social Security comes on time" and "people who care for veterans" to "people who kidnap your neighbors."

BREAKING: The UK has stopped sharing intelligence with the US on suspected drug-trafficking ships in the Caribbean, saying it won’t be complicit in strikes it believes are illegal-CNN

It’s murder. Plain and simple. apnews.com/article/trum...

What‘s the end game in the brain of a malignant narcissist? An explosion? An implosion? Shrinkage to peanut size bone-dry tissue with weakening neurons? And when do people in charge of a country’s institution determine it will end? And badly?

No fewer than 28 billionaires donated at least 100k to beat Zohran Mamdani. Their overt attempt to buy the election provided Mamdani with perfect talking points. From @ryanlcooper.com: trib.al/LEnjMCa

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown. The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Zohran Mamdani has won more votes than people who live in the following states: South Dakota North Dakota Alaska Vermont Wyoming He will soon pass Delaware. Could also pass Montana and Rhode Island.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

What took them so long?

I know, I know. The NYT is at fault, as well. But here's how they assess the 12 markers of authoritarianism-- and Trump has initiated them all. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

SHE SAID "TECHNO-LIBERTARIANS MAKE A PHILOSOPHY OUT OF A PERSONALITY DEFECT." IN THE YEAR 2000!

Any German politician/party ready to copy that idea?

One of many reasons why it is a shitty newspaper.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is everywhere. But it didn't start that way. There was a time when the mayoral front-runner was polling at 1%, tied literally with "Someone Else." Now he has an 80,000-strong army of volunteers, a killer social strategy, and the internet on his side. The Big Interview:

Ah! Good morning, reality. And welcome. We’ve been expecting you…

Expecting an indictment by the Trump DOJ any minute. The legal implications will be concocted as usual.

In case anyone still wonder what bat-shit crazy looks like...look no further than the man being quoted below.

Interesting to note that the coal industry in the U.S. employs just a tad over 40,000 people, according to the BLS. The same source tells us that 64,000 people work at wineries.

Wo lernt man diese Art von Journalismus? Auf der Henri-Nannen-Schule? An der Uni?

Good to see that nine months into what polls say is a deeply unpopular Trump second term, our political press is finally doing the work to show how voters have turned against… Kamala Harris. [deepest sigh in recorded history]

In 1935, all generals and admirals of the Wehrmacht and the Kriegsmarine were summoned to Berlin to a festive swearing of the Führereid—an oath of absolute personal allegiance to Adolf Hitler. youtu.be/60DNrNj6WEg?...

Russian Chief Diplomat Lavrov: “Ukraine won’t get its land back, we won’t return the 2022 borders.” So… he just confirmed those lands are Ukrainian 🤣

So many echoes from this article for US politics....

We have a winner!!!
