yeah, this is hegseth straightforwardly announcing that it is free play time for bigots in the ranks. and together with his comments on standards, he clearly wants to purge as many women, black and brown people as he can from the armed services. a white man's military.

Perfect image for this moment -- Pete Hegseth wasted millions of dollars flying military leaders from across the globe to hear him blather about gender-neutral physical fitness standards and appearance, and the chryon in the corner notes the government is about to shut down.

A script you can use if you’re not good at speaking on the spot.

This is my regular reminder to everyone that jstor is open to the general public now; a free account there will give you access to 100 papers a year.

It is actually peak absurdity that we still have people arguing that voters should bend to the positions of their political representatives instead of the other way around.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

Where Johnny Cash claims to have traveled in “I’ve Been Everywhere”

I can only hear the line "Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?" in the confused quiet voice my mom had went her dementia got really bad.

It seems that some stochastic terrorist is going in some public place and shooting people every day and those in power only stoke it and stand back

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

Nothing good can happen. It can only bad happen

How hard is it to say “invading an American city with the US military is treason and the second we have power we will prosecute anyone who gave or obeyed an illegal order”

**The sound of gunfire off in the distance/ I'm getting used to it now**

**I got some groceries, some peanut butter/ To last a couple of days**

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

This is literally what the actual "siege" of the auxiliary ICE building looks like

“He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. “He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.” -Declaration of Independence

the president just said the military should start shooting american civilians if they want to

But he’s not a fascist, he’s just going to “war” against Americans who call themselves antifascists.

Can’t believe how much work it takes to convince dimwits of the glaringly obvious

The Supreme Court of the United States is an utter farce.

Well don't I feel stupid

We said “Epstein” not “Earhart”

on the surface, it might seem offensive to tell someone "that's not true, you made it up or your dumb ass asked your computer friend and your computer friend made it up, idiot." but it's actually the first step towards healing

NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders. I spoke to multiple witnesses—including a local priest whose church is a sanctuary for undocumented people: www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...

Timely thread Listen to medical experts instead of the orange shouty combover guy

This is the point of the new EO: it is to make people think twice before they provide their honest evaluation of the Trump regime. You called them fascist? Well, you must be antifa. You call them authoritarian? You are inciting terrorism.

I really wish Americans had the stomach for mass mobilization. If the farmers clogged the streets of DC with their farm equipment until the tariffs were lifted, we’d see the tariffs lifted in days

the case against comey is an illegal, selective, vindictive prosecution. Trump vowed vengeance and retribution; prosecutors concluded there was no case against comey; Trump forced out the prosecutors & replaced them with a loyalist who got an indictment. The case should be dismissed before trial.

"Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture"

If you replaced “pyramids” with “ballrooms” it would be a more accurate quote, at least regarding one particular man afraid of death and insignificance.

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

I'm sorry I called your group "Gestapo." On reflection, I realize "Sturmabteilung" would have been more appropriate. I shall take greater care in future.

That they’re trying to characterize the broken UN escalator as an attempt to harm Trump highlights the idea that any violence against them will be used to escalate their crackdown on us. The absurdity of using that inconvenience as a flashpoint is evidence they think they’re running out of time

No mention of the CDC shooting. No mention of burning down the PA governor's home. No mention the Colorado school shooter apparently expressed neo-Nazi views. They included Luigi as getting "leftist" support when his support was bipartisan b/c every american has been screwed by health insurance

I'm struggling to contain my anger over the government's handling of the ICE shooting in Dallas - specifically, the refusal to publicly identify three human beings who were killed or seriously wounded These monsters do everything possible to dehumanize refugees. We can't let them get away with it

True Alphas lose their minds and demand arrests because of broken escalators.

Friday: a prosecutor is forced to resign bc he concludes there's not enough evidence to go after Trump's perceived enemies Saturday: Trump makes public post asking Attorney General why she hasn't gone after his enemies Wednesday: DOJ says enemy indictment coming right up sir do I have that right?

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I’m pretty sure someone from the left would write “Fuck ICE” and not “anti-ICE”

I would argue that this chaos is the point

Kristi Noem is not going to let a little thing like a shooter not targeting law enforcement get in the way of claiming law enforcement victims.

Abolish ICE.

It is worth your time to read this column

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

“Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.”
