They’re calling it the Festivus Speech™️ because it was just 15 minutes worth of airing of grievances

Fact-check: true

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - George Orwell, 1984

The U.S. Supreme Court: "ICE can racially profile people it arrests." Also, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Texas can disenfranchise voters based on race." Can we all agree that we currently have a white supremacist Supreme Court?

"If either Hegseth or Bradley gave such an order—or if Hegseth issued the order and Bradley carried it out—both could be guilty of murder and war crimes. The United States, after World War II, prosecuted German and Japanese officers for similar offenses."

What Sen Kelly says here is pretty much what was being said by the general and admirals he summoned to Quantico after his juvenile speech.

🧵A legal scholar finds the killing by special forces of survivors in the Navy attack on an alleged drug boat to be a war crime and murder. "the currently governing DOD Manual in Section 5.9 states clearly that persons “placed hors de combat may not be made the object of attack.” ...

The stock market's gains are being overwhelmingly driven by seven Big Tech companies who have invested heavily in AI, which has made tech oligarchs even wealthier. But when that AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

We need local authorities to step up in far greater support of the communities they serve to make clear there are consequences for violating the law, even for ICE and CBP.

Brazil’s federal police on Saturday arrested former president Jair Bolsonaro over suspicion he was plotting to escape and avoid starting a 27-year prison sentence for leading a coup attempt. https://to.pbs.org/48bW5Z7

A million times spot on.

Oh, this is just pathetic!

The fact that Megyn Kelly minimized raping 15 year olds and wasn't immediately canceled from every platform, including @siriusxmprog.bsky.social and YouTube, tells you EVERYTHING that is wrong with right wing media and this country in general.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served. F that!

This is what intelligence and critical thinking sound like: VIA hana.clio What is there to debate?(for myself)

Makes more sense now

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag. Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

here's today's post: "elderly fuckwit shits the bed in Asia" — it’s just one embarrassment after another. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

I found it easier to understand Speake Mike Johnson once I realized he's not just a "flawed Christian." He is the new Roy Cohn, another duplicitous closet case always eager to advance the agendas of genuinely awful people.

"[Not using the funding already allocated to keep SNAP going] is a decision the president is making--on his own--to allow people to go hungry."

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.

Trump is — and always will be — Putin’s bitch.

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality. Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

Amazing changes can happen in a mere couple of months. The Trump regime's lies about No Kings protests are getting more desperate and inflammatory as the White House gets more scared of the power of the people.

Some weird shit

Linus is right. Release the Epstein files!

Groceries are up

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

Spot on.

The secret power of a people’s movement is that it’s random. It’s neighbors protecting immigrants from ICE. It’s millions canceling Disney+. It’s a man throwing a sandwich. It’s inflatable frogs dancing. Dictators struggle to fight a movement, because they can’t do what they want most—control us.

Never let them get away with blaming all of us for what one rando did.
