Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

RFK Jr. is objectively pro-disease, pro-illness and pro-child death.

all I know is that if I killed 11 people and was working out the reason why it was totally legal to do so a day later, nobody would have any trouble calling that precisely what it was

starmer is doing all the anti-immigrant and anti-trans "popularism" stuff the centrists are demanding US dems do and this is the predictable result:

happy labor day

a bit late but the whole jillian michaels thing last week gave me an excuse to talk a bit about the economy of slavery in detail youtu.be/pRs2Xu1FWR4

Words/phrases Democrats should never use: * bipartisan * my Republican friends * real, valid, legitimate, serious, important (to describe issue raised by Republicans) * yea (when voting on Republican bills) * distraction (to describe bad thing Republicans did) * woke (in derogatory sense)

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

sorry, I left out their third source for this story: a Republican consultant

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

In case you haven’t read the report, here are the headings of the report’s conclusions into Andrew Cuomo’s behavior.

dipshits in 2019: you people are NPCs, you don't even think for yourselves dipshits in 2025: I have outsourced my thinking to Clippy

the hottest piece of content on the nazi site is a song called "Heil Hitler." Maybe time for Democratic politicians to stop posting there idk

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

North Carolinians, check to see if your vote for Riggs was thrown out. You have 2 weeks to correct it!

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

Watching a man get disappeared for political dissent in the middle of the United States, as the opposition party agrees to give the tyrant a blank check to do whatever he wants

Look I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this but if you’re a liberal and the president is like “We are going to detain and deport this guy for protesting” the correct response is not “Protesting what?”

So they admit he didn't commit a crime.

As a cishet dude, when I see a Dem ditch trans rights, it sends a message: you ain't got no fight in you, no principles, just another empty suit. Think I'm some too-online outlier? Go ask your expensive consultants why people don't bother to vote. It's because they know you're all empty suits.

AS PROMISED:

Good lord, that last sentence of Viser’s is so deeply contemptible and illustrative of how American journalists have lost their way entirely.

A piece of concept art in the Art of Super Mario Odyssey book is overlaid with the text "Note: Relief is temporary." While it actually refers to the fact that the design of the relief carving is not finished, it inadvertently appears to make an existential statement instead.

Everyone needs to read this incredible report from @justcalma.bsky.social, essential stuff. www.theverge.com/features/611...

"The Nazis had a kernel of truth to in their slogan about how their opponents were not human beings but disposable fake humans" what the fuck is wrong with you

if there are any newspaper editors reading this, think of it like, the Saturday Night Massacre was considered the "Harvard administrator cited sources improperly in their college thesis" of the 1970s in terms of how big a scandal it was.

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Come for the news that “bigballs” hung out in cybercrime discords, stay for his old friends dumping on his coding abilities krebsonsecurity.com/2025/02/teen...

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar has responded to Texas Rep. Brandon Gill, who said she should be deported: "What a dumbass." www.chron.com/politics/art...

the "liberal media" lie and all the bullshit about norms in one image pairing

Trump says he’s targeting fraud in government. In his last year in office, he commuted the sentences of at least five people who collectively filed nearly $1.6 billion in fraudulent claims to Medicare or Medicaid Amy B. Wang and @azipaybarah.bsky.social report www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

I voted for Harris and Democrats because I wanted to prevent Trump’s return. But I was revolted at how the administration enabled the Gaza atrocities. Scolding voters again may be self-soothing. But people in POWER decided sending weapons to kill kids in Gaza was worth risking this election for!

Guy who spent the past four years feverishly scanning government websites so he could blame every fire, earthquake, bridge collapse, and hurricane on the closest nearby woman/black person/gay person so he could call them a DEI hire: look now is not the time for blame.

CBP slow-walking and insubordinately undermining Biden vs snapping into action to reverse policy the moment Trump is inaugurated is a good demonstration of how power works in practice and an argument for why DHS needs to be abolished root and stem

Outraged by Jan 6, he spent two years getting inside the top ranks of militias like the Oath Keepers. He was stunningly successful. He penetrated a new generation of militia leaders, which included doctors, cops & government attorneys. This is his story. www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...

it is extremely frustrating how many slop bots are in here but this is very funny

The Madison, Wisconsin school shooter was a radfem Columbine-worshipper who followed "radfem Hitler". Garrison Davis dug into her online presence and wrote this to explain what the hell all that means and why the right wants us to think she was transgender. shatterzone.substack.com/p/the-madiso...

The complaint about the phrase “toxic masculinity” is a classic reversal of victim and offender: the moral emergency is not the sexist violence and degradation that women are complaining about, but the way that overhearing their complaints makes men feel.

if you want a good reason why Trump might win it's becasue the media tried to explain to you that Joe Biden's gaffe was a bigger deal than RFK Jr's plan to murder your kids, which they mostly did not show voters.
