it's very funny that the one game the Knicks lost was the one game that Trump attended

Is this the Cooter County Junior Fair?

If they wanted to destroy CBS News they’d just shut it down. Stop giving these people credit, they genuinely think all of their changes are going to make things better

Here's a look at the three-page memo the Kennedy Center sent to employees today ordering they erase President Donald Trump’s name from official materials, less than a week after a federal judge ruled it had been illegally added to the storied arts institution.

If he can't brand it, he moves on.

The psychological war is the only one Russia can win. And the softest target as ever is the White House.

William Butler Yeats gazing in the direction of Bethlehem:

i said last year that these people were segregationists and that “merit” just meant “white and male” to these people

Epistemic Heteronomy in action, baby!

"Senators have already left town for a two-week recess, and House lawmakers were set to join them." So, the airport crisis will get worse because House Republicans want ICE to have even more money despite the fact they already have the money to pay their employees.

OK, so Homan admits that ICE is not at US airports to assist TSA in security screening. Nothing connected to the shutdown. While he does not admit that their role is to terrorize Americans and body-slam anyone who is no "white enough," that pretty much the only other excuse for their presence.

One thing about synthetic imagery of all types—photo compositing, fax, cgi—is that it gets more obvious over time as the artifacts which characterize it tend to pop out for people more. Makes sense this would have an age curve but it’s more about relative familiarity I think.

CBS bought Bari's dumb website for $150 million, which was at least $149 million more than it was worth, and she has the fucking gall to lecture these people about how these are tough times in the industry.

I hate the modern impulse of how CEOs frame layoffs as a sign of growth EVEN IN THE MEMO TO EMPLOYEES. It’s like the memo is for the news cycle, not for the people. Corporate “mugging for the camera”.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

This is the man that TERFs celebrate as the biggest protector of women's sports

Secretary Noem offered assistance to New York ahead of the impending snowstorm. I shared that the fastest way to help is for ICE to back off so people feel safe accessing warming centers, shelters, hospitals, and houses of worship.

Stephen Miller is a very sick person, more so, IMO, than the president. And he is calling the shots. I remember when Terry Moran dared to make this observation and got fired from ABC for it.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

This statement reminds me of the Sandy Hook parents still being tortured by freaks who claim their children never existed The right claims to be pro-family but are actively making parenthood harder for most people and a nightmare for some

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation). Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

Millions of Americans watched a middle-aged US citizen get shot in the face and killed by an ICE officer today. That's a level of national trauma that deserves a more respectful response from this administration than falsely claiming she's a domestic terrorist. We have lost our moral compass.

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video. The Trump administration is lying.

A must-read message from Colin and Sophie Hortman, Mark and Melissa's children:

I discussed this with @katiephang.bsky.social who posited that Pam Bondi might be "interpreting" the law to mean she has 15 days after all the files are released to provide her explanation for what she withheld and redacted pursuant to the law.

A significant reason we are where we are is that journalism’s job used to be to ferret out the ugly, blunt truth behind political veneer, and now that Trump just SAYS it, the press spend their time applying the veneer instead.

The Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen to the United States: “The Kingdom of Denmark, and thus Greenland, is a member of NATO and is therefore covered by the Alliance’s collective security guarantee.” I “strongly urge the United States to cease its threats.”

Post a famous bathroom scene

There’s gotta be a term for this. “Consent of the prosecuted”, or something, like if someone crimes hard and unapologetically enough, everyone just kind of goes, “wow, I can’t believe he’s just fine with all of it! Guess it’s fine?”

One reason Trump says & does whatever he wants is because every societal institution, including the media, has completely normalized & internalized the idea that the laws, the Constitution, & the international treaties we have signed & ratified simply don’t apply to this one guy. It’s maddening.

Never has a President wagged a dog harder than Trump and MAGA now. To distract from Epstein, the explosion of health and homeowners insurance costs, and the tariffs that are decimating small businesses, Trump is plunging this country into a war and using our soldiers as pawns.

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader. So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

I'm told that HHS has just terminated all funding agreements with the American Academy of Pediatrics. Here's a letter HHS sent canceling one of the grants, relating to work on birth defects. Canceled because the project "emphasizes equity, diversity, and inclusion as key foundational components"

I can’t say it enough: Rob Reiner didn’t write any of these screenplays (well, he co-wrote Spinal Tap, which is famously mostly improv). He was a director whose stamp was making the words of others sing straight into your soul. It’s hard to grasp how generous a niche that is.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

I can’t emotionally process the awfulness of what has just happened to Rob Reiner and his wife; my immediately coping is turning to how he directed some of the best movies of all time, like all in a row.

What the fuck

All a preemptive pardon is is documentation of intent to commit a crime, and should be treated as such.

The devastation I feel about this attack on science in particular is hard to cope with. It’s like watching my dad die all over again. I would do anything to spare someone a death via pancreatic cancer.

Propaganda. We thought that it was gauche and problematic to have government propaganda about public accomplishments and so people forgot about them. People consistently like the military more than ‘the government’ and you know what a large part of that is? They have an advertising budget.

This is basically the core misery at the heart of the current RW movement. A complete lack of human feelings or emotions, just raw unfiltered sociopathic behavior the entire way down.

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

Vine is back?!
