I’m finding it increasingly hard to report anything delivered by “official sources” in the US. Could be true, could be a coverup, could be completely made up for nefarious ends. It’s a country now where no one really has any idea what’s actually going on.

Genuinely think our society is lost if we can’t find a way to start caring that the ostensibly most powerful man in the world acts like this.

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.

Thoughts and prayers are worthless but stats show the assault weapons ban was working.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

As he celebrates his 100th Birthday this very day, can we all take a moment to acknowledge that time when Dick Van Dyke won the internet internet. Forever.

In 1990, I was in college and went to see House Party, which was only playing in one theater. We saw it with a packed audience who had clearly all seen it before and were raucous. Best movie-going experience of my life.

Posted by the Tax Foundation — the world's leading nonpartisan tax policy nonprofit organization.

Amazed that there are 1.4 million accounts following this one obscenely rich guy warning us not to tax obscene wealth just because he pretends to be slightly to the left of the Republicans.

If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

So now that Times New Roman is the official font of fascists, I'm giving up on serifs.

Not the important thing here, but what is going on with his nose? Did it always look like plasticine that got dropped on the floor? Or did he just rub the make-up off his nose, making it stand out from his face?

Jury duty today! Pretty sure I’m too high a number to be chosen, but the process is fascinating. Misdemeanor case with prosecutor who graduated last May and a defendant who refused to show a cop his id and was unhappy to be arrested.

This is a white supremacist rally. Anyone who attends something like this or still supports the leader of this movement should be unwelcome in your home and shunned from civil society. Period. We’re way past the point where this crap should be tolerated from anyone. Cast them out.

it's 2025 and the gangly guy who appeared on a few seasons of The Office is now our only mirror to society

FYI, @dropsitenews.com is a Ryan Grim fan account, so take that into consideration when deciding whether to follow or block this account, which is overly credulous of grifters at best and disingenuous at worst.

Looking at all the excerpts of Olivia Nuzzi's magnum opus being posted all over bsky and I think we have the answer to the question of "what if Ernest Hemingway was super wordy and liked adjectives and was bad at getting to the point."

Yet House Republicans just killed the first comprehensive (and bipartisan!!) housing package of the last few DECADES

STARTS TOMORROW! Our friends at Toyota Northwest Edmonton and Sherwood Park Toyota have donated $100,000 to help Edmonton's Food Bank and we need YOUR help! PLEASE HELP US RAISE $100,000 TO MATCH THIS DONATION! Thank YOU! #yeg #edmonton https://loom.ly/sGqLtpw#yeg

Nick Fuentes forced to apologize in person to Jewish feminist he assaulted this Thursday at 9 am Chicago time, zoom login info:

I think, to be sure, she is beautiful, the most beautiful, beautiful like a horse, a spotted horse, not Appaloosa but the other kind, running free on the plains, despite her captivity by men, terrible men, men who try to bridle her, their bridle leathery, men she can defeat, thanks to her hooves

Josh Marshall is absolutely right about this as a matter of constitutional restoration BUT ALSO You can't do ANY of the "kitchen table" agenda EITHER without abolishing the power of the six corrupt GOP justices. They'll kill any good Dem policy (eg student loan forgiveness) just to watch it die.

The cat sits where she wants to.

This entire Administration is full of idiots whose only ideas are about the window-dressing. Not a single one of them willing to work to actually improve things.

This is the UK Labour Party, the left-liberal party who took power in a wave election after the fascist-adjacent conservs melted down. We MUST prevent the US Democratic Party from turning into this. It is an essential priority. If they come to power and do this it will destroy America forever.

What makes me angriest about the fake AI videos where people yell at ICE is that there’s a million actual videos, there’s actual priests being pelted with pepper balls, it’s just that the real priest didn’t say “we worship the real God not your ORANGE one” so he wasn’t quippy enough

My husband has offered to go to the local architectural salvage warehouse to find me more issues of a 1940s era magazine I saw there. I was amazed at his kindness and then realized that they are located at an architectural salvage store and who knows what will be coming home with them.

A big account is spreading a fake video and their excuse is "well, Trump does it!" and I think anyone who runs across accounts like that one should exercise their right to block that nonsense. (They blocked me immediately for thanking them for openly admitting that Trump was their role model.)

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara issued a stern warning to his officers on Thursday: Intervene when you see Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents using unlawful force or lose your job.

Senator Warnock said he needs some help in Washington. Let's get it done.

This is bad

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

since we're doing USPS discourse again, a reminder of what Dems should be saying

Yes, it's clearly a repository of evil, and also can you imagine having to dust that fucker?

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves

my take is that this is bad but it doesn’t actually matter all that much because EVs are going to eat the whole market

It's really important for everyone to realize that neither being a citizen nor being white will protect us from being kidnapped and put in a detention center.

They can pull masks over their face all they want, eventually we will have their employment records.

There was a 13 point swing last night in TN-07. If we see a 13 point swing in South Carolina in Nov 2026 Lindsey Graham will be retired and I will be the first ever pediatrician Senator.

I've volunteered for campaigns in very red South Carolina and counted it as a win whenever we moved the needle closer to winning. This is a great result and @aftynbehn.bsky.social and everyone who volunteered for her campaign should be very proud.

Look, I know Matty Y is convinced that the Democrats made a huge mistake in having Democratic politicians appear with Behn, but with more than half the results in, it's neck and neck in a deep red area. Amazing.

First they came for the proofreaders...

Edmonton, it's time to rename Wayne Gretzky Drive.

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

Gene Hackman. A career spanning more than 40 years and a hundred films to choose from.

Just watched Eddington and I’m going to have to sit with that awhile.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! We knocked 13,000 doors yesterday and learned that hasn’t happened since Harold Ford Jr.’s 2006 Senate campaign! We’ve got 48 hours left to get out the vote and MAKE HISTORY. Sign up to volunteer via the link in our BIO!

This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

This is why I will go out of my way to visit independent bookstores everywhere I go. The books are curated by a person and there are surprises to be found. Exile in Bookville in Chicago remains my favorite place to run into books I haven't seen or heard about. Used bookstores are also good.
