They're locked into a self-destructive cycle of escalation because they can't do anything else. They're cornered.

I hate to break it to Donnie but firing Powell will not lower interest rates. The rates are determined by a vote of the Federal Open Market Committee. Twelve people have votes. Powell is just one. The only thing firing Powell will do is introduce turmoil into the Markets.

Remember to look up.

Okay, I'm being dumb. But surely here he is, at least tacitly, acknowledging that child sex abuse material is being consumed primarily by people of one particular political viewpoint? www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

The vitriolic blondie: two jiggers of sulfuric acid, a cake of Maybelline puréed on high then liberally dosed with road salt scraped from the underside of a garbage truck.

Not a fan of falling on my sword either. Much of what we’re seeing is the public’s learning curve in real time. I think confrontation and conflict are coming either way. He won’t leave peacefully. Resistance will driven underground. It’s more a statement of what our baseline is. We can’t forget it.

Spotify confirmed, via an interview with Rolling Stone, that it has officially stopped running recruitment advertisements for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This development follows months of intense public scrutiny and widespread boycotts from its users.

"The ministry has also asked Musk's X to provide a clarification on the use of Grok." Why? All you'll get is lies. Act on the evidence, the evidence is CSAM production and distribution, and it's still ongoing. Permaban is the only acceptable course of action.

As a London resident of 30 years and someone who travels frequently far and wide, I've always found London to be comparitively safe for a city of its size. It also feels safer now than when I first moved here. Only the ignorant talk about pretend "no-go zones". www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Tone it down? No, Tapper, no one is going to tone it down. An ordinary, middle class woman was killed by ICE on her way home from dropping her children off at school. MAGA is calling her a domestic terrorist. There's no toning it down.

adorable, sardonically hanging on to sarcasm in times like these, no?

youtu.be/sM1lxDsf_3g #chrisnorlund Markets are sliding as Trump pressures the Fed, spooking investors. Powell says it’s political intimidation that threatens economic stability. Chris Norlund

Nazi Germany slogan: “One People. One Realm. One Leader”. US Dept of Labor has embraced it👇

So much groundwater has been pumped from underneath Tehran that groundwater strata have crushed and compacted so much they’ll never hold water again. Rather than conserve, Corpus Christi TX is doing the same, destroying the Evangeline Aquifer at more than 8 million gallons per day. (Texas Tribune),

Haven't you noticed? Dangling the carrot and giving the stick. Promise everything and deliver NOTHING.

Just in case anyone was wondering. There are formal procedures that follow EVERY Law Enforcement shooting. There was absolutely none following this one...ICE IS NOT LAW ENFORCEMENT!

Of course he did 🙄

The Vice President of the United States, and a trained lawyer, clearly never paid attention in Constitution Law classes or seminars.

Since Trump seems determined to invade Greenland, can someone ask him what his plan is when NATO responds by seizing every American Base, piece of equipment and Servicemember currently in Europe? I wonder if he would give Greenland back in exchange for the 100,000 American POWs?

Truth.

A felon who married an immigrant is telling a lot of y’all that the problems in this country all stem from felons and immigrants. But keep buying that stupid red hat that’s made in China.

They want bakers to be able to refuse to make wedding cakes for same sex weddings but when a Sammich Guy refuses to make sammiches for ICE, they show up en force, armed and intimidating. Who’s the crybaby now?

Would they give a Democratic administration the same grace? Would the Mainstream Media?

Remember when Law Enforcement at least tried to gain people's respect? You get what you earn. Law enforcement put themselves in this position, they need to put in the work to earn trust and respect.

My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died, Land of the Pilgrims' pride, From every mountain side Let freedom ring! (Ok fuck the pilgrim and their bullshit but still)

This isn't new news. The Trumps were sued for racial discrimination in the '70s by the Justice Department. Trump Sr's racism was such that Woodie Guthrie wrote this song about it.

Any threat, real or widely enough imagined, will do as a justification for a counterattack.

That's a whole bonus rant! bsky.app/profile/goli...

Starting to feel as though if they don't see themselves as persecuted, they're not the special boys they want to be. Also, what the fuck? Protein isn't carbs or saturated fats, it's been pushed, even acclaimed since before Atkins. Fucking scattered flurries. Ay dios mio.

And why are they using a photo of RFK Jr that makes him look like the bad guy from a low-budget Saw ripoff?

You can’t swing a Happy Meal in this country without hitting a burger joint or a barbecue shack or a steakhouse. If there was a war on protein, then protein won a crushing, lopsided, complete victory sometime before I was born.

There needs to be accountability. Innocent people don't flee the scene. www.alternet.org/alternet-exc...

I look forward to the day when sanity returns to the federal government & these horrifying events stop happening. I look forward to these losers being fired and realizing they are unemployable

The lack of self-awareness among these people is ridiculous. They've spent a decade demonizing immigrants and now they are calling peaceful protesters, "domestic terrorists" but we need to stop the, "hateful rhetoric?" Maybe he shouldn't be putting sociopaths on the streets with guns.

Remember when we had the right to assemble?

Timmy, Tim, Tim. If you sit on the fence any longer, the post is going to go up your ass.

And we could have told the administration that if they'd bothered to ask.

The King going mad wasn't the celebration of 250 years of the USA I had in mind.

Jfc we're in a bad spot when the gold bug conspiracy crowd is now simping for the fed.

Reasonably interesting uptick in German and Canadian political accounts being verified. Probably means nothing. bsky.app/profile/veri...

When the Episcopal Clergy are getting ready to die for their cause, it leaves Chuck and Hakeem's efforts a little short.

Considering how volatile the consumer class is right now, and the underlying issues with McDonalds as a business (falling profits, high costs, falling consumer base) Id have to say they're a bit stuck either way. Not sure if I'd have made this call tho. I'd have probably betrayed silent.

Oh!...It gets worse!!...DHS using white supremacist songs in some of their social media posts and a about the 14 Words with "HH" in capitals. They're not even trying to hide it anymore.

Had to go look it up to see if they were really that blatant

Listen to her scream 😪🤬
