You do good, unimpeachable work! Thanks, that means a lot coming from you!

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

ICE is inventing crimes to justify ethnic cleansing.

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license. They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

In principle, of course, the First Amendment lets you say this with or without 230. In practice, it’s unlikely most platforms would take the risk of permitting you to say it without a liability shield.

everyone understands that the only reason you can post "Trump is a pedo" on any social media platform is because Section 230 exists, right?

Here's a quick write-up on Cuban Coast Guard killing 4 and injuring 6 people on a Florida-registered boat: www.wlrn.org/americas/202...

some YouTube asshole lied about Somalians stealing daycare subsides. so Trump is stealing healthcare from the entire state

When we said you should at least try to present a justification for war with Iran we didn’t mean just recycle the most discredited lies from Iraq

The press release has more detail — it's about loot boxes: ag.ny.gov/press-releas...

Iran has repeatedly said it is not pursuing nuclear weapons. It wasnt in the JCPOA Trump ended. And even if you cant take Iran on good faith, Trump and co claim the nuclear program was destroyed in last year's strikes. So...you got evidence you can share or what?

man they're straight running the 2003 iraq "They have WMD or are about to" playbook

The right were prepared to drag themselves over glass to protect Cracker Barrel from changing its logo. Their beloved culture is a food chain that sits alongside interstates in towns and cities the right wing cultural crusaders wouldn’t be caught dead in.

JD Vance isn’t a Grok guy. He has no interests himself, just whatever the right is fixated on at any given moment. RFK Jr has never stepped into a Steak and Shake but loves them because lard is anti-woke. They all pretend to like Kid Rock because it owns the libs.

Based as fuck tbqh

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Cutting people’s health care is murder.

They are going to kill people in the name of preventing fraud. This is trying to save the patient by cutting off the head.

historical detail I can't help but bring up: by some accounts, the event that instigated the British soldiers to open fire on Crispus Attacks and the rest of the crowd in the Boston Massacre was a soldier being hit by a snowball

the scumbag trying to tear al green's sign out of his hands is texas rep. troy nehls, a former sheriff, who afterwards asked the president to sign his tie like he was a beatle.

I am not a lawyer! but arbitrarily cutting off federally mandated funds for punitive, retaliatory reasons seems like it might not be entirely legal. just one cartoonist's opinion!

Gotta pay the king, no mechanism not to pay the king

I don’t want to live in a world where “insider trading on what a celebrity is having for breakfast” is a real thing that can happen

for folks who are active on x, threads, etc and feel bad about it bc of its stewards but have a hard time letting go: sometimes your behaviors overpower your values online because tech companies hire psychologists & sociologists to come up with ways to put you in that position

thought you probably needed to see this

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

The guy who staged a failed coup last time is building a massive personal militia staffed with lawless thugs. At this point it’s just naïve not to see where this is going.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

WTF.

It’s extraordinary depressing, if not in the least bit surprising, that the debate around a potential conflict with Iran—even by skeptical House and Senate members—completely disregards the pesky little details in the Constitution regarding the necessity of legislative approval to wage war.

Absolute fucking mess of a sentence. All constructed to make Cuba look like the aggressor. I’m sorry, people in a Florida speed boat were firing at Cuban border patrol and they shot back ????

It is, actually, this.

uuhhhhhhh not good *FOUR US SPEEDBOAT PASSENGERS SHOT DEAD BY CUBAN COAST GUARD:AFP

Interesting confirmations in the interview I did for this. Troops in Erbil were regularly flying "ring route" flights to Syria and Tower 22 (the outpost in Jordan where 3 soldiers would later be killed) and moving troops and equipment around those locations as part of the fight against ISIS

New York National Guard soldiers got a French medal for a rescue mission in Iraq during an ISIS ambush four years after the last ISIS stronghold in Syria fell.

Marco Rubio made it so you can't renew your passport at the library any more, very annoying! www.frommers.com/tips/news/li...

Possible context for the search of the LAUSD superintendents home and office this morning. The cause is unknown as it is sealed per local news but

FBI raids LAUSD Supt. Alberto Carvalho's home, office

The FBI just raided LAUSD

BREAKING via the LA Times The FBI is currently raiding the home of Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho and LAUSD headquarters.

great story from Nic on Guard unit that stepped in to rescue French special ops in a 2023 firefight.

A popular right-wing account that called a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes "a masterpiece" appears to be run by a White House staffer, according to records reviewed by WIRED. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

"While the account’s earliest available posts focused on NFTs, it has been a consistent pro-Trump presence since at least 2022." lol

Good morning generals and commanders

National Guardsmen awarded French valor medal for rescue of allied special forces trib.al/t1fK59R

In Aug. 2023, French and Iraqi troops got ambushed by ISIS. More French commandos got rushed in to reinforce them and evacuate. Stories at the time didn't mention it was two National Guard crews that flew them in and out. Those six soldiers received French medals. taskandpurpose.com/news/nationa...

The President singled out racial minorities as the source of fraud in the United States and the first line in recaps is “he stayed focused on the economy“ lol

The Washington Post writes -30- on its fully staffed Ukraine bureau. In related news, Jeff Bezos’s net worth is estimated at $223,900,000,000.00.
