KINEW: "We have to be able to make a deal and, you know, to play nice when we're in the Oval Office, 'Oh yes, look at all the gold. It looks really nice. Way to go.'"

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

#Pinks #ProudBlue ICE agent called woman “bitch” before he shot her seven times. She was not brandishing a weapon as they claimed. Why won’t they release his name? Don’t let them provoke you. Record everything you can safely. www.newsweek.com/border-patro...

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

More honest.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Woman shot by ICE has been released from custody, body cam footage revealed an agent saying "do something bitch" while holding his rifle at her

WATCH — @whitehouse.senate.gov : “What became of the $50,000 in cash in that Cava bag? Did the FBI get it back from Homan?” AG PAM BONDI: *LASHES OUT aggressively, avoids answering entirely* 🤷🏼‍♀️

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

Schiff: This is supposed to be an oversight hearing when dozens of prosecutors have been fired simply because they worked on cases investigating the former president. Bondi: What about the fires in California? Are the riots in LA serious?

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

#Portland #Oregon #Krasnov states it's a #WarZone One of the #Reporters from #Axiom states it's more like a #Carnival than #Combat that shit is #HILARIOUS

🤣🤣🤣👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

The problems that we as a nation have sought to illuminate, so that we can remedy them, are disappearing — not because the problems are disappearing or have been remedied, but because we will no longer know about them. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/turning-out-the-lights-on-the-economy

Dear Officer Little...

When Temu Charlie Kirk and his pet BLAGA pulls up to the Veterans Rally Point at Union Station!

More American than Elon Musk!

You are misinformed. They will occupy cities to control the midterm elections. The only way to get them out to force them out on their ass. There is no such thing as “passively” obstructing.

5-tour military vet calls #ICE agents traitors and tells them to prepare for a one-way mission if they come to his neighborhood #chicago #portland Now THAT’S true patriotism 🇺🇸

I have worked in both federal and local law enforcement. You receive use of force training and while that can vary slightly agency to agency, the rules are pretty consistent. The things that I'm seeing right now would usually be examples of what NOT to do in a training academy setting.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Trump wants to violate the law and deny furloughed federal workers their pay. 1/3 of them are US military veterans. #shutdown #trump #politics #news #veterans

Where I was raised you DONT point a gun unless you plan on shooting them. Point a gun at me and it’s game on IMMEDIATELY. One of us is leaving in a body bag. These untrained idiots don’t understand this and one of them is going to get their head blown off. You CANNOT randomly point guns at people.

Look at how terrified that asshole looks. These are untrained, undisciplined cowards being thrown into hostile crowds. It’s only a matter of time before something big happens because these mental third graders can’t regulate their emotions.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Nixon hated college students. He decided to only draft 19yr olds. Then he instituted a draft lottery. I finally won something. I was 19. I couldn't bribe a doctor to say I had bone spurs so I joined the Navy.

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

As someone else mentioned, it’s a reality tv show/social media administration. Everyone from the president on down posts a LOT on the Musky place, they spend a ton of time doing Faux news hits, and now they’re even citing “Truth” Social in court testimony:

On this day in 1970, the Public Broadcasting Service or PBS was launched in the United States. It essentially replaced National Educational Television. #History #OTD

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

If you watch closely, you'll see they're doing this opposite an actual funeral procession.

Evergreen message from Joyce Carol Oates about Curtis Yarvin...

Moldburg=Curtis Yarvin (b. 1973). American far-right pol blogger. With accelerationist Nick Land founded the anti-democracy movement 'Dark Enlightenment' aka 'neo-reactionary' movement (NRx) late 2000s. Yarvin's ideas are spewed by JD Vance & venture capitalist and GOP megadonor Peter Thiel.

it was a nice union while it lasted wild that it survived all this time only to be tanked by a degenerate talk show host, but hey, that's america for ya baby

The rain has soaked through everything. Your socks just sprouted a mushroom. You haven't smelled decent BBQ since your last night in Texas, before mustering. Suddenly, a metallic creak echoes through the fog. They were coming again. The naked cyclists. "Just four weeks a year," you mutter.

As a writer for MAD, I did not expect to be working for a publication that would one day have more journalistic integrity than the Washington Post, but here we are anyway.

Anyway, today I will be losing my mind at how easily hackable by bad actors various solemn declarations about respecting identities and neurodiversity are because people make the solemn declaration but never actually do any of the work to include people with awkward identities or neurotypes.

Thinking about this whole "Dems need to move right on abortion to win in red states" thing. Since this spring we have been asking different variations of this RCN-ish inclusive populism message, and the results are like - blinding. There's just broad, almost overwhelming 🧵

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.
