it's bleakly hilarious to have people complaining that using the word "nazi" to describe people calling for racial cleansing and forced breeding is "rendering the word meaningless," while supporters of the US government use the word "communist" to describe having a functioning healthcare system

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison. Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water. Our priorities are so fucked.

Tiny Niece was delighted that the Winter Olympics has "a sport for dead people". Turns out she'd made some big assumptions about Skeleton.

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

Jim Ratcliffe has issued a statement saying he's very sorry if people don’t like the fact that he’s a racist twat.

The El Paso event was a perfect distillation of the moment because there were 50 immediate Bond Villain-type conspiracy theories doing the rounds and it turned out to be a bunch of clueless chucklefucks fooling around with dangerous toys borrowed from Drunk Uncle Pete at the Pentagon.

it really can't be said enough that this is a person who has dined with the president of the united states

“an intelligent man, and I think he’s got good intentions”. That’s the great Sir Jim on Nigel Farage. The colour of the shorts is the least of his team’s problems

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

At a current time in which merely speaking Spanish in public in the US can literally get you arrested deported or killed, the site of such a joyous celebration of Spanish-speaking culture as fun, inclusive and fundamentally AMERICAN was in its own way deeply and rightly political.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

It all looks very nice but actually it is the worst spot in the British Isles. Stinks.

If a university student group had celebrated Charlie Kirk being killed, complete with a graphic made from an actual picture of the killing, the whole lot of them would have been expelled before the ink on the digital story was dry.

Nice gallery

“ICE must be abolished, and it will be.” Events like yesterday bring us closer to this truth. What I saw with my eyes was thousands of people united in solidarity against this stain on our country, and then their children were assaulted with chemical weapons. That’s not something you move on from.

The current Portland City Councilors who are endorsed by the police union are: Smith (D1), Ryan (D2), Novick (D3), Zimmerman (D4), Clark (D4) Listing them because the Portland Police Association is making it a fight to have a masking ban (for law enforcement) and a tear gas ban.

It's sometimes hard to convey just how nuts it is that in this pathetic gilded age, the most 'successful' human on the planet is also, right out there in public, one of its most ridiculous losers

Thousands of protesters marched through South Portland and enveloped the blocks around the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building, a demonstration that escalated within minutes of their arrival. The demonstrators, including children, were... TAT: [Nationalism | Suppressing Dissent]

America has now reached the stage of greatness where our very pro-family administration is tear gassing little children who were at a peaceful, daytime protest against that government’s mass round ups and deportations of little children.

What do Brett Ratner and Melania Trump have in common? An embarrassingly intimate relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

1/ Ian Austin has since been re-arrested along with Don Lemon, which he believes is bc the video we made of him (below) criticizing the Trump regime and encouraging fellow vets to wake up had gotten millions of views. It's not just journalists. It's ANYONE. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Witness to the gassing # Portland

A big group stopped outside the ICE facility and federal agents dropped several rounds of chemical ammunitions. The crowd leaving the scene was the most chaotic I’ve ever seen it and the gas was the most intense. I don’t know how/why the gassing started.

I've seen videos of the indiscriminate use of tear gas on a large crowd that was clearly peaceful and filled with Portlanders of all ages, and well off the macadam facility. We banned tear gas for a reason. I join Councilor Green in calling for enforcement of our laws.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

I was there. They were indiscriminately firing multiple canisters into a huge peaceful crowd. Fucking cowards

Federal paramilitaries running up on the rooftops to fire irritants and flash bangs down into a peaceable assembly full of little kids

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

Like many have said, the gassing outside ICE today was really bad, and it impacted a huge group of people. I heard multiple people say they felt like they were going to throw up as they tried to leave the area. (I experienced similar effects.) It followed a peaceful protest led by labor groups.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com
