Trump came groveling to Schumer, skywriting that the Democrats had all the leverage. Schumer's reaction was to immediately cave, keeping the government open and DHS funded for two weeks while Trump's minions could get their ideological house back in order, on the eve of another major ICE/CBP surge.

The Wayback is now so load-bearing we should be protecting it with our actual lives

JUSTIFIED “FUCK ICE” CHANTS #AEWDynamite

DHS keeps touting a program that offers free plane tickets and “exit bonuses” to immigrants who self-deport. But last fall, we spoke to a dozen immigrants who said they followed Trump's instructions, yet never received the promised assistance. ➡️ Read their stories: https://propub.li/3Zeb4xF

I know next to nothing about this subject so can't say much about it, but female samurai sounds damn cool to me and I'm not just saying that because I liked to fight when I was younger, even though samurai didn't always mean warrior ;) www.independent.co.uk/asia/japan/b...

I CANNOT STAND this man!

He really is the most miserable bastard on the planet and he has to make it everyone else's problem.

If I had 1% of his money you'd never hear me complain about my life again and I would do more good for the world than all current right wing people have collectively ever done. And it wouldn't even take long.

college application help is my go-to example for how American guanxi works - in its most powerful form, it can't be a simple market transaction, but still grows out of business and power relationships

I just remembered Apophis, that asteroid that was supposed to hit us around 2029. Turns out, nope. we will be spared. I feel like that's the cycle of apocalyptic traditions. Years of Buzzfeed articles hyping it up, only for the season finale to be satisfyingly underwhelming.

honestly I don’t know that it’s possible to be happy with that kind of money, the drive that keeps you accumulating past a certain point doesn’t seem like something that can ever be satisfied

HB 2589 makes it a felony to allow a child to see any performance in which the performer violates "normal gender expression." Rep. Michael Way (R), the bill's sponsor, told the committee that Arizona has an interest in "regulating morality" to "protect minors from predators"

What's fascinating to me after reading a bunch of the Epstein files emails from all kinds of senior figures from all kinds of countries is just how many of them were randomly telling Epstein state secrets over unsecured, unencrypted email, and nobody's security services bothered with it AT ALL.

I suspect it's because they think all video will be replaced by AI in the next couple years

this man is going to be the world’s first trillionaire and even most of the too online sickos on this website are significantly happier than he is

HB 2589 passed out of Judiciary committee this morning, on a 6-3 vote. Despite dozens of people testifying about the real threat of arrest, all Republicans on the panel voted in favor.

Very interesting case study how the man who quite literally has all the money in the world has ultimately has absolutely nothing in his life.

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

'This news has moved me from "maybe computer use should be regulated" to "Butlerian Jihad Now" on the radicalisation scale.'

People should remember that Elon Musk's 'big political turn from liberal to MAGA' and subsequent 'war on wokeness' happened because he knew a story was about to leak about him trying to force an employees into giving him a handjob in exchange for a horse

If you aren't super plugged into the comics world, you might have missed this, but: Erik Larsen's SAVAGE DRAGON, which has been published consistently since the 90s, is now regularly featuring characters who just hit the public domain. The latest issue has both Popeye and Mickey Mouse.

JK Rowling is named in the Epstein files. While most of them are just casual mentions, there are two specific relevant ones: Rowling’s team personally invited Epstein after he requested to come see the premiere of the Harry Potter play including a special dinner invitiation in between the two shows.

Within a month of our President calling all Somalis "garbage," saying "they contribute nothing" that "they come from hell," "I don't want them in our country," the DOJ appears to be creating a separate process for deportation proceedings based on nationality just for Somalis.

Good lord, wanted to grab a few more of his posts before I blocked. But everything you could thing a culture warrior is, that would be this guy. Team Israel, Team Rowling, uses AI, made prison jokes about Luigi, and that's all BEFORE we learned he apparently owed his life to Jeffrey Epstein.

NEWS Elon Musk and others LOSE their bid to duck depositions in DOGE litigation. Judge doubts protections for "high-ranking government officials" for multiple reasons. It's unclear they ever had that status, and Musk "left government service." Doc buff.ly/uhpSOTz

Fathers don’t think of their kids as genetic material to pass on. And men without kids leave a legacy in other ways. Shut the fuck up, sit down, get a job, fuck off. This isn’t a real thing serious people care about.

GET HIS ASS

*taps the sign*

there's something unholy about the Trump administration being laser focused on "fraud" while Trump pardons an endless clown car of fraudsters and bilks taxpayers at every opportunity. it's just transparently absurd.

Melania Trump wasn't going to let a meeting with freed Israeli hostages keep her from putting out the word about her documentary.

Westboro Baptist Church tried to make an Anti-Luigi Mangione poster but it just looks like Luigi is threatening billionaires and goes unironically hard af

hm, lets see. business admin degree, started at disney as a finance guy, most notable act after he was put in charge of parks was to fire thousands of workers instead of furloughing them during the pandemic. yeah... guys, i don't believe disney will leave its slop era anytime soon.

I'll never understand why expired IDs aren't accepted as proof of your age I was 40 before it expired, I'm not 19 now

they're trying to be coy about salivating over the prospect of raping women, they'll contest that but if pushed to explain, that's exactly what they would describe. forced pregnancy of any kind, by a man or by the state, is gender-based violence

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”
