this may well be the defining joke of our era theonion.com/guy-who-suck...

The saving grace of this era of fascism is that most of the fascists are shit-smearingly incompetent.

Holy shit. The government is conceding it willl pay some amount of fees to the Broadview Six. They are DESPERATE to stop further inquiry into the case. Never heard of such a thing.

Oh yeah, it's BAD bad.

RFK is so relentlessly full of shit on anything remotely medical or scientific.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was an anti-fascist German Lutheran pastor who opposed Hitler and the Nazi Party so effectively that they murdered him in 1945. He is only a bad guy if you literally spend all your time on far-right, neo-Nazi websites and have pickled your brain in fascist group chats.

Remember when Katie Britt did that SOTU response from the deeply creepy serial killer’s kitchen

I’m always a little puzzled by the “Ken has talked openly about depression and anxiety, I bet he will be humiliated if we make fun of his mental health” crowd. Bless their hearts, they try their best.

Ezra Klein is doing secret societies the right way

The questions about what Yale Law School teaches remain as salient as ever.

Interestingly, in the long recapitulation of "overt acts" in support of the conspiracy count, they don't mention this bodily injury to an officer, which . . . you'd think that'd be a good one to have in there. She is alleged to have "brake checked" the officer causing a collision.

The entire Uruguay World Cup team got pulled up on the side of the road and investigated by immigration. Sniffer dogs, luggage ripped open. Trump America is a global embarrassment.

lol

according to wikipedia there were 128 school shootings in america in the 1960s en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

The Intellectual Dark Web is still peddling alt-right philosophy through a bunch of pedantic phrasing and MAGA bootlicking

Jesus Christ, this is such a national embarrassment.

Just checked with our team which is reviewing the indictment. As you'd expect (but obviously you want to be sure) it looks like yet another case of wild overcharging. Some chaotic protest moments that DOJ wants to make into a violent attack. Good luck getting this past a Minneapolis jury.

This is a murder

People laughed when Trump said the war would only end with unconditional surrender but he's a man of his word and he has now surrendered unconditionally

Protest ICE? You're a terrorist. Get killed by ICE like Renee Nicole Good? You're a terrorist. Commit a violent insurrection for Trump? You get pardoned and taxpayer money.

There's a really messy conspiracy count for 15 defendants that's going to be a bitch-and-a-half to prove up and then much more manageable counts against four individuals for things like assault on an officer, stalking, and destruction of gov't property.

Reuters has a livestream of working trying to remove algae from the reflecting pool 😆

Meanwhile, this reminds me that almost exactly 10 yeas ago, I was an expert witness in a federal criminal case of a guy who was arrested for posting a bunch of memes and photoshops online. I got to explain to a jury how memes work. He was acquitted. www.techdirt.com/2016/09/29/h...

The Feds’ view of names has always been buffoonish. Back in the 1990s as a rookie fed I noticed that anyone from a culture with even slightly different naming conventions would show up with a sheet purporting to list numerous “aliases” /1

“Douglas ... a/k/a Doug”

The Ford Administration marked the Bicentennial on July 4 with an event at Independence Hall. Attendance was ~100,000. The day opened with Black opera singer Marian Anderson, the daughter of working class parents, reading Jefferson's Declaration of Independence. commerce.veritone.com/search/asset...

Here's an OCR-ed version. I'm probably part of the conspiracy now. You're welcome! www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

Important to remember that almost everyone even marginally competent who worked at the MN US attorneys office has quit

the feds are coming in hard in Minneapolis today it looks like, targeting legal observers. I heard this from a friend there: "An alert was just posted to lock your doors and don’t open them for ICE/officials without a signed warrant. Twin Cities Legal observers’ homes are being raided... [cont'd]

"Hard and soft blockades" and "confronting tactics." So, yeah, they protested and followed ICE agents. And now they're going to try to make it into a federal conspiracy.

US Atty Rosen: We are not arresting people for what they said. Here are fifteen facebook posts that prove it.

Lol, the US Atty just put up a facebook post from one of the defendants saying "we need to become ungovernable" and said that they coordinate to use shields against law enforcement. This indictment is going to be so ridiculous.

Here comes another frivolous Kash Patel defamation suit

Wake up, babe, new Broadview 6 just dropped

Cops love shooting dogs. There’s less paperwork. They particularly love it when the dog is wearing a shirt or hat. abc7.com/post/family-...

He's been saying this thing about how easy it is to walk over the Qatar-Iran border for many months now. Clearly no one around him is brave enough to correct him. That's pretty terrifying.

Person, man, woman, surrender, decline

Literal LOL

The United States government is white nationalist as a matter of policy. To certain people it is very norm-breaking, excessive, upsetting, and dangerous . . . that I would say that. Bless their hearts.

We used our influence on a mercurial, demented narcissist to achieve geopolitical goals, this will go great [A FEW DAYS LATER] Oh no

If you're hosting an international sporting event, you should be required to actually host all of the competitors. This isn't hard.

REPUBLICAN SENATOR: Democrats want you to believe that sending FIVE MILLION DOLLARS of YOUR tax money to MEXICO to “manage” the “Dick Exploding Spider” population is “normal” SAME SENATOR SIX MONTHS LATER: (walking like a saddle-sore cowboy) This is the greatest public health crisis of our lives,

The White House has moved to ban almost all work authorization for asylum seekers, indefinitely. In my new note with the brilliant Natalia Rigol & Amy Nice, we assess White House claims that work authorization 1) harms US workers and 2) causes frivolous asylum claims. www.hbs.edu/faculty/Page...

Sometimes I look at outrage over a topic and imagined the drama if I said what I thought and it’s just exhausting and I refrain, but I maintain it’s really laziness more than cowardice.

If, in the year of our lord 2026, you still believe in banning anonymity on the internet, then you’re a privileged unthinking dunderhead who simply can’t conceive of government being weaponized against you.

BARTIROMO: Democrats want to ban the president and his family from crypto endeavors SEN. KEVIN CRAMER: One of the thing Democrats are never going to accept is that we have a business person as president. I reject the idea that somehow Donald Trump has to be exempt from being successful.
