ICE violently detain father & son walking to school—teenage boy had to be rushed to hospital. "I was just going to school," kid cries out. "I'm underage!" The 16-year-old star athlete is a U.S. citizen—agents sent him to the hospital with severe injuries to his back & neck. Houston, Texas.

Coincidentally this is the ballroom at the Winter Palace in Russia.

In Germany, the police academy is 2.5 years. In Finland, 3 years. Even the NYPD is 6 months. ICE is was already 3 months. Now 1.5 months. Pure indifference to any actual skill or ability. Makes them both more dangerous and less effective. Hell of a double-edged sword.

Hegseth would have spent half a day in egress training to pretend that he flew a fighter jet. Real good use of his time and tax money Pete Hegseth’s FAKE Fighter Jet Moment EXPOSED 🚨😂 #politicalnews #shorts youtube.com/shorts/AAkHW...

The level of lying is staggering. And this is after a decade of off-the-charts lying.

It looks like the new Pentagon press corps has come together.

Thinking bout this right now for no real reason— “When Donald Trump Razed the Bonwit Teller Building, He Promised the Met Its Art Deco Friezes. A New Book Details How He Pulverized Them Instead”

American institutions don't crumble. But they can be destroyed.

😡😡😡😡

NEW: A huge ice sculpture of the word “DEMOCRACY” is currently melting away in front of the US Capitol. Organized by artists and activists, it was commissioned by the Up In Arms campaign, an effort led by Ben Cohen, the cofounder of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

I heard the initial story, but the story is advancing and getting quite interesting!

“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.” If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

Oh yes, it goes without saying that you should not trust the agencies determination of whether someone is a member of that gang. They have gotten it wrong so many times that their assertions on this point are not trustworthy without independent validation.

I posted about this on X, and Tricia McLaughlin, the DHS spokesperson, QTed me to say the kid was actually a hardened criminal arrested with a knife and a gun. So far she has provided no evidence of this. I share this to give DHS's response, and for the possibility she is telling the truth.

~1300 fired on a Friday, about half unfired the next day, due to an apparent “coding error”. But sure, your data will be secure. They’re all in a competition for who can be the most maliciously incompetent. So much winning. Participation trophies for eveyone. Nobel Prizes in Nonsense.

Here’s the footage of this #KavanaughStop: bsky.app/profile/thet...

ICE is the living embodiment of the famous Stanford Prison Experiment. Give people uniforms, weapons, and mirrored sunglasses to promote anonymity and a sense of power. They quickly become sadistic and abusive. ICE masks = mirrored sunglasses. Psych experiment come to terrible life, and validated.

“We didn’t consent to playing it, as we believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits using public assets for political purposes and messaging. … We believe consenting to playing this video on Port assets would violate Oregon law." /1

One indicator you’re not Nobel Peace Prize material is if the country which hosts the totally independent Nobel committee believes you’re gonna retaliate against them because you didn’t win.

Oh, does it benefit the US to provide aid to foreign countries? That would have been good to know back in January and February.

His slip of the tongue reveals who’s really in charge. trib.al/mIvP0yE “Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

Stephen Miller’s own cousin Alisa Kasmer on Miller: “I am living with the deep pain of watching someone I once loved become the face of evil. I grieve what you’ve become, Stephen.”

Russell Vought is licking his lips at the shutdown prospect of doing harm to regular Americans. So creepy; billionaire-backed extremist.

Good morning! It’s been a week of massive lies. 🤬 Tell us the biggest one you’ve heard. We’ll go first. 1) Tylenol causes autism 💊 2) This little gem🙈🙉🙊

Republican members of Congress aren’t confused or deluded. They know they’re letting unhinged criminals destroy our democracy. They’ve simply concluded that it’s good for their political careers.

@abdulelsayed.bsky.social: "All of them know what [Trump's] saying is ridiculous. Not one of them had the presence of mind to be like, dude you are one dumb motherfucker... Part of me is like, when do we say the emperor has no clothes?"

The Disney & ABC boycott is WORKING 🔥 Let’s keep going! We the PEOPLE have the power. Sinclair, the broadcasting company that owns hundreds of ABC affiliate stations, has BACKED OUT of airing a remembrance of Charlie Kirk, posting a YouTube link instead. #BoycottDisneyABC #Sinclair #JimmyKimmel

"I am a moderate compared to Erika," Charlie Kirk revealed earlier this year.

Must have gotten a ghostwriter for the children’s book

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Hey remember when a Trump judge gave voice to the entire MAGA movement when he said the Biden admin's pressuring Facebook to moderate COVID misinformation was "arguably the most massive attack against free speech in our lifetimes"? Just another reminder that it was never about free speech for them.

Crash Patel is unhinged and unfit to serve as the head of the FBI.

NEW: I wrote about the ways that government and elected officials are threatening to have people fired or disciplined who post mean things about Charlie Kirk or are perceived to be celebrating his death www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Professor Groyper

Deeply disturbing rhetoric is spreading from influential MAGA figures (including the President of the United States and the owner of that other website). They have no idea who the shooter is, and many of these same people mocked Democrats when they were victims of political violence in the past. 1/

Ed “Big Balls” Coristine—who worked tech ops for Elon Musk’s DOGE project—is under FBI investigation for data theft. This is the same 19-year-old who was linked to a cybercrime ring earlier this year.

It's worth remembering the importance Rubio once attributed to USAID. . . and what an incredible hypocrite he is. #USAIDforever

Trump lies that the US has extracted "trillions of $ in import tariffs." No! In 2024, the US imported goods for $3.36 trillion. The current average tariff is 18% = $605 bn for a whole year, but loopholes will prevail. Tariffs are taxes on Americans. www.cbp.gov/newsroom/sta...

He obviously knows where he’s going.

Sadly, "Big Balls" Coristine is apparently being targeted by a disinformation campaign related to the recent assault on him, but his grandfather was actually a KGB lieutenant colonel (executed by the USSR in 1987 for being a double agent -- see Wikipedia). www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...

"DOGE" (at least initially) consisted of script kiddies brought in by Musk out of personal loyalty, not experience in government or handling sensitive data. Some had consulted for cybercrime (see link). This is not even slightly surprising. It was the most massive data breach ever carried out.
