Gallup announces, after 88 years, it will no longer track public approval of presidents. Trump's second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, among the lowest ever recorded by the company. The president repeatedly has threatened to sue media and polling firms that portray him negatively.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

So what I’m gathering is a pedophilic billionaire successfully worked to destigmatize race science among the academic, political, and business elite partly by sex trafficking girls. Is that the shape of it so far?

I know it’s been said a million times but it’s pretty funny how many short king steroid comedians with corny ass manchild tattoos called themselves free speech warriors right up until the moment free speech was actually under attack.

Literally half the country wants to abolish ICE and the Democrats are going to make them pinky swear not to deport U.S. citizens anymore

Congress is going to respond with some "sensitivity training" level bandaid solution. What needs to happen is for ICE to be removed from the Department of Homeland Security, sent back to the Justice Department and stripped of its national security mandate. Bare minimum.

We must stop funding DHS.

If you’re a journalist on TV right now, use your fucking eyes and ears and words. Don’t let people pretend a public execution didn’t happen.

Impunity creates the conditions for horrifying violence, full stop

Whenever this country sees the other side of this, and I realize we may not see it within my lifetime, everyone involved needs to be brought to justice. Every single person, no exceptions.

Casual reminder that a bill must pass *both* the House and the Senate (and get signed by POTUS) to become law. The DHS / ICE appropriations bill passed the House. It still needs to pass the Senate with 60 votes. That vote will be *NEXT WEEK* Call your Senators.🔥📞🔥

Incapable of understanding how "abolish ICE" was silly but arresting 5 year olds is public policy

You know, many of us said the post 9/11 War on Terror measures were Orwellian bullshit at the time, from DHS to ICE. The Patriot Act was chilling as well. Some of us objected vociferously. Perhaps we didn't have the mics or the power, but we remember 2001-2005 as a terrible time in this country.

every day involves grappling with how embarrassing it is that the secret police are so embarrassing, just complete losers incapable of visiting the men’s room alone, who cannot comprehend why people are calling themselves bums to their faces

Republicans have told us for decades we need unlimited guns under the 2nd Amendment for days exactly like today. But when today came, they called the unarmed woman murdered by an authoritarian government a terrorist instead of taking up arms against her killers. Remember it.

Evergreen tweet

any democrat who hedges on this should be screamed at until they quit tbh and if they don't, they should lose their next primary

There’s literally nothing intrinsic about these tools that makes them even do this! It’s just a choice that OpenAI is making because they want their platform to be maximally sycophantic and emotionally addictive, since so many of their product managers are alums from Facebook/Meta.

We have already decided as a society that ChatGPT is allowed to tell people’s kids to kill people. Now we’re just debating who.

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

Remember, hit www.eff.org/age for a full set of resources about age verification: Why it doesn't (and can't) work, why it hurts everyone's privacy — including kids, and what we can all do to push back.

feel like it should be a bigger story that the global war on terrorism is being replaced with a domestic war on terrorism

It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.

The death of Lia Smith shook many in the trans community to their cores, while online it seemed like the top priority of non-trans people was to insist there's no proof that the 21-year-old's ban from her beloved swim team caused her suicide. Re-sharing as it was one of our top stories this year.

“Go back to your country”: a close read(ing) ✊🏾✊🏾

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

We don’t need to reform ICE. We don’t need alternatives to ICE. We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE. ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

If you say things on TV like "Raping an 8yo is worse than raping a 15yo" you should be launched into a volcano

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

I just am having a hard time understanding why we are doing this about Mamdani while the ‘Jews Will Not Replace Us’ Guys currently run every branch of government and have all the nukes

On the left, the refurbished Lincoln bathroom. On the right, picture I took in Saddam Hussein's palace in Basra in 2005.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Real talk: The American Right won the propaganda war when they convinced the world that people throwing rocks at tanks was terrorism. Everything that we're seeing now is a direct consequence of that. I cannot be convinced otherwise.

Oh my god stop reposting this I’m just being stupid

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Glenn Beck says that after he aired a show on Antifa, FBI agents acting on the behest of Kash Patel came to get tips. Here's who the segment targeted, largely through strained connections and guilt by association: www.mediamatters.org/glenn-beck/g...

Standup comic John O'Donnell does a better job explaining NSPM-7 than basically all of major media:

With Apple and Google loaning their app stores to authoritarians, our tech press should be asking: what are the alternatives? And why is Apple working so hard to suppress the web? But they are not asking those questions: infrequently.org/2025/10/the-...

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Happening right now. To us. In America.

it is useful not to lose sight of how, underneath everything else, hollow all of this noise is. portland and chicago are warzones, so i am dispatching a couple hundred best buy assistant managers there to quell the insurrections. potemkin stuff, paper thin

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

They’re moving quickly because they get less popular every day. They’ll never be more popular than they are now and they are extremely unpopular.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov 37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois. This is assault.

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...
