comic book authors: we invented the punisher as a cautionary tale about vigilante crime fighting the director of the fbi: at long last, we are implementing the ethos from the classic comic book the punisher

1. This is one of the most insane statements ever delivered by a presidential spokesperson in U.S. history. Totally disconnected from reality. 2. There is either going to be a civil war or abject Democratic surrender to autocracy. They are telling this you, to your face, in explicit terms.

Just unbelievable stuff coming from independent journalists these days. Jack Posobiec, Roger Stone protege, was one of the biggest spreaders of Russian disinfo in 2016. Then Pizzagate, Macron leaks, election-fraud narratives in 2020. And it took til now to show he was voting fraudulently himself? 1/

“Food bank managers, some with decades of experience, couldn’t recall a disruption like it.”

NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

sounds like someone justifying spanking their kids

This is just a reminder that Russ Vought enjoys inflicting pain and trauma on other human beings. He said so himself.

Kristi Noem's on the roof at Broadview surrounded by snipers and Kat is still out there demanding to see what horrific conditions are going on inside.

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it. Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

One Battle After Another goes hard.

In honor of Eric Adams dropping out, I'm now resharing my all-time favorite bit of Eric Adams content for years, this thing was like my video from The Ring, where I had to get other people to watch it in order for me to stay alive enjoy www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk2W...

Imagine saying this with zero irony.

Trump: we will do project 2025 Harris: he will do project 2025 Public: oh that’s bad Trump: I’m not gonna do it have never heard of it Harris: he’s still gonna do it Media: no one can predict the future 77 pinocchios

it’s really good when “technology of the future” treats you leaving as if you were leaving a cult

If I were president, I'd simply sign an EO declaring that "a woman" is anyone who has nipples

NEW: Judge Simon, at “suggestion” of DOJ, recuses himself in the case over deployment of national guard to Oregon. Case reassigned to Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee.

The president is claiming the power to make up a war so he can engage in extrajudicial killings

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil. The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage. /1

We left Austin (and UT) for personal reasons, not political ones. That said, this story makes me relieved that we got out when we did—and despondent for the future of an amazing institution that played a really important role in my life; and whose students, staff, faculty, and alumni deserve better:

I hate that so many outlets are using the word "crackdown." Crackdown on what? The majority of people being kidnapped have no criminal record of any kind, and to zip-tie children and take them from their parents is pure evil.

New: Abu Dhabi fund MGX told me it picked USD1—a Trump family–linked stablecoin from World Liberty Financial—to put $2B into Binance, citing its “compliance history.” USD1 had just launched. me, for @forbes.com 🪙🍼🤷 1/

The news from the past few days is a stunning example of what happens when the state decides it wants to crush just one guy

My rule of thumb that people who know, let alone advertise, their IQs tend to be incredibly stupid, is still holding up.

before and after hegseth's directive

Bluesky feed is like ------------------ we're doomed ------------------ we're doomed ------------------ we're doomed ------------------ cute kitty! ------------------ we're doomed ------------------ we're doomed ------------------ [adult content] ------------------ we're doomed ------------------

Look, we’re not gonna be able to rebuild this capability in the next democratic admin, this is basically a generational problem to fix now. But, ruining the lives of the people who did this, and everybody who hung onto it to be close to power? Revenge is very much something that we can do.

DHS posts an antisemitic meme about keeping "globalists" out of the US. One of the internet's most influential white nationalists, the British white supremacist known as "Raw Egg Nationalist," responds with a groyper meme. The DHS account RESPONDS, calling him "Patriot."

"The GOP is lying. Will it work?" Scour this passage -- nay, scour all of Politico -- for even the slightest passing *hint* that lying is ... bad. That you shouldn't do it. That it degrades politics over time. You will find nothing.

Here's a video I made of Sam Altman as a World War 2 leader in an Axis uniform

This is a good argument for abolishing the Department of Homeland Security and replacing it with a number of smaller, independent agencies; or another umbrella organization without such a fascistic name.

“A certain kind of shame is useful for anybody who wants to have productive relationships. Shame helps us recognize… that we need to acknowledge and be concerned about how other people feel. This is what we’re referring to as healthy shame, which is quite different from toxic shame.”

This whole pathetic tirade of a speech was so unhinged: A purely grievance-driven rant against gender and racial equality, delivered by a completely unqualified man who is convinced it is his prerogative to rule and dominate in all spheres of life. The embodiment of Trumpism as a political project.

TODAY IS THE ONLY DAY YOU CAN REPOST THIS!!!

Six Democratic senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee (Durbin, Schiff, Whitehouse, Klobuchar, Coons, and Welch) voted yes on two Trump district court nominees this morning, and my question remains, why do senior members of this party keep voluntarily ceding political capital to Donald Trump

Next move from OMB - canceling $8 billion in clean energy funds. You will note, all of the projects are in states led by Democrats

On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US. And nobody covered it. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

I spent some time with OpenAI's new AI video app Sora. Not just slop but ragebait, fake crimes and women splattered with white goo. The implications of all of this are horrifying.

People think they’re taking down a rich intellectual sinecure but they’re mostly terrorizing committed public servants who make $58,000 a year after 15 years of experience at a school that has to budget creatively so students can access textbooks.

Good for him. Also, Zohran being asked questions about Israel so often that he has to make it clear he's running for Mayor of a city in the United States of America. Fucking nuts really.

BREAKING: Supreme Court will allow Lisa Cook to remain on federal reserve board for now, ruling that the government’s application for a stay is deferred pending oral argument in January 2026

what the green flag means at a NASCAR race

I’m gonna need this

Hundreds of thousands of stasi agents won’t even get paid. Are you happy now libs? Not so funny when the secret police have to work for free

Again, the GOP has complete power to fund the government on its own terms, the only question is whether they have the will to exercise that power and own the consequences

"no more superficial individual expression"

Anyway, hire more religion reporters.
