Tried to sneak a photo of a cute doggo and accidentally had long exposure on and I believe I have created man’s greatest expression of art

This is quite a hed/subhed. 1) Start with Vance. Use strong action verb. Accept the autocratic premise that the “Marines’ Might” are Vance’s to flex. 2) Mention the protest second and absurdly describe them as in the thousands 3) Treat Trump’s strong man use of the military as a partisan scuffle.

This is good reporting on the disaster in Alaska if you're looking for a reliable summary. This is a bigger disaster than I think most are realizing. 1500 people have been displaced by the flooding with an exceptionally complicated response and recovery. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5kz...

#portfolioday is amongst us once more! Here are some goodies.

i'm sure duffy is just lying here but also i'll say again that they hard time conceptualizing relations between people that aren't strictly hierarchical.

I do not want to see a Supreme Court justice’s face on cable news, period

The Trump administration wants us to believe that they are all-powerful forces who control everything and can be reined in by neither Congress nor the Supreme Court, but if anything goes wrong, it's Mastermind Chuck Schumer's fault.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists. Seems bad?

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

He said this deliberately because he is a Nazi and he wants you to know he's a Nazi who you can't touch. He also wants other Nazis to know they can be open about the fact they are Nazis too. This isn't an oversight, a fumble or an opportunity for a "heh, well actually, dummy" zinger.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

This very handsome California Quail was perched right beside the road, so of course I took his picture. 🪶

I've been waiting all year to repost this 🎃

Just thinking about the right freaking out for weeks on end over a routine military training exercise called Jade Helm because it happened with a black POTUS. I think their tantrum got more sustained national coverage than this assault on an apartment building.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

E-bikes are an absolute game-changer in terms of giving more people the option of going car-light or car-free, but adoption is threatened by the ongoing moral panic. As the article notes, the solution is not restrictions on e-bikes, but creating more infrastructure to support e-bike riders. 1/2

Yes. (And still getting "standoff" BS and "who will blink first" and "who will voters blame" from news.) Trump and MAGA control the *entire* government. It's a simple fact: - White House - Senate - House - Scotus - OMB (to the hilt) - Every regulatory agency They're in command. It's on them.

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open" That's it. That's the whole story.

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'? JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said. S: Those are quotes

Judge Young is (rightly) horrified by masked ICE agents - but he also finds them cowardly:

Culture NEEDS music and Musicians Especially under 40 to Unfcuk This World . We have more comedians and actors saying more than musicians now. Young artists voice need support It’s their world It’s their future It’s their reality Don’t wait for the Aged to lead the lives young gotta age into

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

"if you want to applaud, then applaud" and everyone for the rest of the speech staying stone cold silent is absolutely devastating

Wife brought her 100 year old film camera to that pirates game from a few weeks ago and she got this shot that's just perfect

John Thune says the government shouldn't try to coerce news stations but then refuses to say that Trump or the FCC made a mistake in trying to coerce ABC. A true profile in courage.

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

What are the names of the U.S. Navy officers carrying out these orders to serially bomb civilian boats that pose no threat to their own vessels, killing everyone aboard? Surely they’ll want to take personal credit for this honorable service and perhaps wear a little campaign medal on their chest.

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

I can't sit on this, it's too good. ISO 9000 idgaf 🪶

Beyond cancelling Kimmel's show are about 200 writers and crew members in LA who just lost their full time gig.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

"Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don’t know. But the most telling detail in Klein’s column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself." Ta-Nehisi Coates, with receipts.

What is a scroad? A scroad is a member of a far-right online hate group. They split off from the groinks in 2017 after the Glunt War, which took place on fapchan. One of their members is a U.S. senator

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

Hankyoreh now has an official English translation of this editorial: english.hani.co.kr/arti/english...

This is as huge a scandal & blunder as this chaotic Administration has seen. The person who should be called to answer for it is Secy Kristi Noem. When a woman who loves the camera as much as Noem is nowhere to be seen for 10 days it’s b/c she’s hiding out. Media should be all over this.

You’d think an agency with more funding than god would be able to build its own fucking drug incinerators outside of population centers, but hey, why pay for something that keeps citizens safe when instead you can hoard taxpayer wealth and buy fun military grade war gear to cosplay with

"On the last episode of his show before he was killed," Kirk told "his audience, falsely, that “one in 22 Black men will be a murderer in their lifetime” and that “by age of 23, half of all Black males have been arrested and not enough of them have been arrested.”

"Kirk told his listeners that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson of the Supreme Court “is what your country looks like on critical race theory,” that former Vice President Kamala Harris was “the jive speaking spokesperson of equity,” and that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “was awful.”"
