Two can play that game

It's like sending the Smurfs against Sauron

We have to stop dehumanizing ICE agents while they are doing their important job of dehumanizing us

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

The current Supreme Court has unilaterally rearchitected our entire system of Government, and done so to favor despotism bsky.app/profile/saga...

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning. This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.

Holy shit.

Republican priorities.

Job Arias-Mendoza posted a video on Wednesday that appears to have been taken after ICE agents shoved him into an unmarked van. It shows two other men detained, confirming what another witness saw. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMY1bwEo/

In a statement ICE claimed Arias-Mendoza had a number of previous arrests and entered the country illegally at some point. This journalist is not in the business of taking ICE at their word.

UPDATE: The man ICE violently arrested has been identified as Job Arias-Mendoza. Two weeks ago he published a video to his social media accounts of ICE handcuffing a man in front of a liquor store—it has more than 200,000 views on TikTok. streetcarsuburbs.news/arias-mendoz...

Yesterday The Intercept posted the piece I wrote for them to X. That account has 800K followers. As of now, the post has 5,500 impressions, 8 likes, and the only reply includes a Pepe the Frog image and the n-word. So yes, seems like the algorithm is working as intended!

Those private "weather services"? They all depend on the National Weather Service. Not one can take up the slack.

Watch the video. Read the replies. www.reddit.com/r/maybemaybe...

God will have the last say about this fecal pile of a man. Knowing this is the only way I can stay sane.

not true

A government that deliberately abandons the rule of law is not morally entitled to its protections.

Many of you ask me when we're "there." Well, I've said we're heading for authoritarianism. But we're not yet at Greek or Soviet or current Chinese levels. And to be fascist, we'd have to get to North Korean, or maybe Putinist levels of repression. We're *not even close* to that. /7

the thing about the US actually being subjected to international law is that, e.g., we could extradite Hegseth to be hanged from the neck until dead like the serial killer he is

We currently have a Supreme Court that seriously claims (with no explanation) that the current occupant of the Presidency suffers irreparable harm by having to follow existing law, the constitutionality of which has never before been in doubt or even questioned.

But when Pete tells US Generals and their soldiers to break the law he’ll get a big hearty pat on the back

Patrick Fitzgerald might die of laughter at this point

"Okay. It has your signature on it," Judge Vaala told Halligan, who responded, "Okay. Well."

When you can’t get Aileen Cannon to buy your BS…

Never been laid. Never will be.

BREAKING NYT:   Trump just fired a U.S. attorney who insisted on following a court order.   Michele Beckwith, the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento, was fired hours after she reminded a Border Patrol chief to abide by court-ordered restrictions on immigration raids.

It's just pure Leader Principle at this point. Donald Trump is the nation and the constitution. The end.

Serious question: why would the Democrats in Congress bother discussing anything about the budget with Republicans when the budget doesn't have to be followed?

It’s 2016 all over again gizmodo.com/cracker-barr...

John Roberts despises the Constitution and the rule of law.

Ken and Bill Clinton hanging out on the island:

Mom at the park just told me she wasn’t going to finish her baby’s vaccine schedule because “of the new information that has come out from the CDC”. Robert Kennedy is a fucking monster.

“If you don’t accept fascism you’re a bad person” —Tucker Carlson and every mainstream Trumpified conservative

Where’s DOGE when they are actually needed?

This would be ungood

You can complain about declining ratings all you want but nothing is gonna do better than Kimmel in the time slot.

No matter what this meeting is about, Pete will always be a National Guardsman assigned to a Civil Affairs unit who got a bunch of crusader tattoos in his 40s because he wants you to think he's a cool, war-criming operator instead of an extremely online wife-beating loser

Hegseth actually posted this on X.

Oh internal polling looking BAD huh

BOLDUAN: When I was asking you about Comey, you've twice now brought up the Epstein files and Tom Homan. Why? RASKIN: Because the DOJ is in full coverup mode

Pretty awesome that we got a handle on food inflation by 2024, just in time for everyone to decide that we need Mr. Monopoly Man to fix the prices, who then completely mangled international trade and the labor supply causing food prices to go up again.

you'll never feel bad blocking someone who describes themselves as "fluent in sarcasm" or as a "provocateur"

The guy that can’t pronounce acetaminophen is doling out heaps of medical advice. The peak of narcissism believing your opinion matters about matters that you have zero knowledge about. Coincidentally this is also the belief of nearly every conservative that listened to Limbaugh for decades.

Hard to overstate what a sea-change win this is for the anti-vax community. BTW, it's "hepatitis," and 30-40% of chronic Hep B infections are acquired during childhood. Chronic Hep B can lead to liver disease and liver cancer. There is no cure for Hep B.

This is a supervillain origin story.
