It’s funny how the whole economy is made out people who only know how to make the wrong decisions

LOL

This is actually a great opportunity for reporters to investigate WHY every company getting a no-bid ICE contract got those contracts - and why competitive bidding was not done for them.

Trump trying to make ideologies he doesn’t like illegal in America is at least a precedent that can enable needed reconstruction in the post Trump era.

How dare you call us fascists? We are merely prohibiting antifascism.

I’d love a Dem presidential candidate to put out a proposal to declare “MAGA” a domestic terrorist organization & see how quickly it’s pointed out that this isn’t how the law nor constitution works.

@rusty.todayintabs.com Not sure how you got through today’s newsletter without referencing the TBS/Brand New feud or dropping a link to this

Reminder that the comment that got Jimmy Kimmel in trouble was about MAGA’s politicization of Kirk’s murder, not about Kirk.

“Arteta will have a real challenge this season keeping players happy with such a deep squad.”

Josep Mourinho

Such a cynical, negative performance from Man City. Pep came only looking for one point and he got it. A loss for the spectators…

It’s sad that City showed up and parked the bus. Just a cynical, negative performance.

Disappointing game so far. I didn’t expect Pep to show up with vintage Mourinho ball. Despite the pre-match lineup criticism, only one team playing to win. The other’s just dropping 10-11 men behind the ball & lumping it forward

Player goes down claiming injury. Ref stops the play despite it not being a head injury. Player not required to leave the pitch for 30 seconds?? BS

GOOD NEWS: The Global Ocean Treaty can FINALLY enter into force after 60 countries sign it into law! 🥳 This unlocks a powerful tool to create ocean sanctuaries and help protect 30% of the ocean by 2030🐠💙People power WORKS! ⁣ ⁣ Now, which countries will step UP to create the first sanctuary? 👀⁣

I don’t get why a foul in buildup can cancel a goal out but a handball in buildup, which is a type of foul, cannot cancel a goal out unless it’s by the scorer

Wirtz lucky to escape a double yellow or is PGMOL not carding for kicking the ball away this season?

Holy shit. An English commentator just described a white English player as being likely to “go down easily”. Never thought I’d see it

GOED NIEUWS: Het Wereldwijde Oceanenverdrag kan EINDELIJK in werking treden nadat 60 landen het hebben ondertekend! 🥳 #ProtectTheOceans #UNGA

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

New Vanna EP out today

Today's the 10th anniversary of Jake Brewer's tragic death. We would have had so many arguments about politics over the last decade & make each other so fucking mad & still be friends. I miss you man.

"Elect us and we will put these criminals in jail" has been available to Democrats for quite some time now and yet

Does anyone know who this giant honking bird is?

This is a really excellent response from @eladn.bsky.social to @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social - and something that I find frankly hopeful in the diagnosis of what practicing politics the right way, in the face of a fascist cult, can look like

Truly a dilemma. If not all Dems vote for this resolution, the GOP will say the Dems are responsible this kind of political violence. But if they all vote for it, the GOP will do as they have since Kirk was shot & say the Dems are responsible this kind of political violence.

"We are going to have to live here with each other" is one of the most revealing things he could have said, because it ignores the fact that many people in America have had to live in the same streets and towns as those who dehumanise them - and to accept that grim reality - for their entire lives.

My trail cam has never caught two bobcats nor two coyotes at the same time before!

If I were trying to get Democrats to win elections, I probably wouldn’t focus on downplaying two of the party’s best issues (including among independents and younger voters). www.pbump.net/o/climate-ch...

New group to ensure Dem pols can continue to live the Seymour Skinner “no it’s the children who are wrong” meme

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

I can't quite tell, but I think Kash Patel is wearing a Liverpool FC tie at this hearing right now?

Robert Redford used to live on my street. Well, we moved here 20+ years after he left. But he was a fixture in the community. His regular run is my regular ruck. Lots of neighbors had good relationships with him…

Activists unfurled a giant photograph of US President Donald Trump with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein near Windsor Castle on Tuesday, where King Charles is set to host him during his state visit.

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer. The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial. Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

Enough already. The White House via Stephen Miller says Democrats are an "domestic extremist organization" & JD Vance says he wants to crush the Dems. Trump says Dems are radical leftists and it was radical leftists who killed Kirk. How can you have bipartisan negotiations with people like that

I am once again begging every member of the media & political leadership to stop taking these people at their word or projecting normal rationality or emotionality onto them. None of this is consistent 'cause they aren't trying to adhere to any core belief or principle. It's just violent cynicism.

A good piece for all of us Noni Truthers out there

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

going from "transgender ideology" to "look at the poor misguided white kid" without even taking a breath, unconscionable

It’s 2025. Turnstile is a ska band. Dance Gavin Dance is a funk band.

I see, fighting antisemitism by putting Jewish names on a list and giving it to the government so they can decide punishment.

Good news

I wrote about what I think is a genuinely revealing document of elite depravity and impunity. It is shocking and sickening. But it's also a crucial moment. We're about to see what happens when conspiracy theorists actually get what they asked for but it turns out not to be what they want.
