I'm pretty sure Dems could get DC and Puerto Rican statehood if they offered to name them after Trump abcnews.go.com/US/trump-pen...

Jeff Epstein the financier?

Radley Balko: The "violent criminal illegal alien" that agents were pursuing when they killed Alex Pretti has been in the US for 20 yrs. He had one misdemeanor conviction for disorderly conduct (domestic assault) eight years ago that was expunged from his record. He did not have a deportation order.

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

Zapooder film

Troublemaker is my middle name.

hindsight is 20/20 but maybe selecting university presidents on their willingness to debase themselves for private donor money is related to the current difficulties in defending academia from fascism

I guess this didn't make it into the documentary.

BARI WEISS: Well, time to hire another new correspondent for CBS News. (Starts flipping through a huge tome titled “The Big Book of Pedophiles and Their Contact Information”)

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

Whether it's a Hillary Clinton staffer asking John Podesta how to make risotto or Elon Musk asking Jeffrey Epstein where he could find a party featuring child sex slaves, there's plenty of embarrassing emails on both sides.

For The Ringer, I wrote about how amazing it was that the brilliant Catherine O'Hara finally became a superstar in her 60s, and how sad it is that she was taken from us just when we had all finally begun to appreciate her:

So if I’m understanding this sequence correctly, from Thanksgiving to Christmas 2012, Elon Musk was essentially pestering registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to throw him a wild party on the island.

Rest in peace to one of the great bloggers and the de facto mayor of Philadelphia. It was my honor and pleasure to work with him. defector.com/dan-mcquade-...

Texting my wife this the next time we have sex

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti Absolutely heartbreaking

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Multiple federal agents can later be seen struggling with the man who is shot. One federal agent is seen approaching with empty hands, before reaching around the man’s waist.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

You can call me a naive idiot if you want but I continue to hope that each subsequent horrible crime committed by ICE is The One that convinces the people with some power that the entire agency can no longer be tolerated. I refuse to be a doomer. Someday we'll live in a better world than this one.

It has gotten so bad that the @nytimes.com has stopped using the passive voice to describe the violence.

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

Racing Louisville FC has signed midfielder Maddie Pokorny to a new contract for the 2026 season. Additionally, the 29-year-old will join Tampa Bay Sun FC of the USL Gainbridge Super League on loan through June.

the woke mob is giving He-man pronouns

I’d add that even if there powers were appropriately restricted, the culture that had obviously developed within the agency is so heinously toxic and abusive that it’s beyond realistic remedy by ANY policy reform in the short term. You’ve got to fumigate and start over.

Each of those things were *also* un-American. Not because they weren't done by Americans, and by America, but because they were always contradictory to what America creedally claimed to be: the land where all men were created equal and endowed with inalienable rights

All I have ever heard about every news story from Bill Clinton to drag shows is “it’s awful, parents have to explain this to their children, why can’t we just let kids be kids?” Now an entire classroom is going to go home to parents trying to explain why their five year friend was taken by the govt

Speaking at the World Economic Forum, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said President Donald Trump's plans to acquire Greenland are "dumb as hell."

Um… Fuck Yeah????

An FBI agent conducted an initial review of the Renee Good killing and determined sufficient grounds existed to open a civil rights probe into the actions of the ICE officer who shot her. Justice Department says no inquiry is warranted. @perrystein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Just remembered I can draw whatever I want

we actually have a solid understanding of what the athletic advantages are, and just about every sporting organization developed guidelines to manage them. these laws endrun around those guidelines in order to institute a discriminatory categorical ban.

The 3rd Wreck it Ralph movie is looking pretty dark

damn, terrible them not getting him immediate medical car after she ran him over. so wrong.

The 6-month-old that DHS is tweeting about here lived in the neighborhood and the baby’s father was just trying to evacuate his family after federal agents had shot someone.

Oh no, how am I going to do by banking?

nonviolence kinda fuckin vindicated here cause these mfs are going "mods.... MODDS... MODS I spiL My JICE"

I needed this www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5XR...

New poll from Navigator also with an incredible result; the largest drop in support for ICE since June was actually among *Republicans*, 25% of which now say they have an unfavorable opinion of the agency.

US government's policy toward the Big 3 automakers—encouraging them to invest in massive, US-only SUVs & trucks, now encouraging them to underinvest in EVs—has reinforced their global irrelevance. Ford sold 33% fewer vehicles worldwide in 2024 than 2015! GM sold 40% fewer vehicles!

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.
