Both sides of a conflict are calling each other evil and corrupt, rendering me, a humble journalist, helpless to discern the truth. Best I can do is let you know that both sides are in fact saying those things. Hope this helps

“Today, NPR will lose access to the Pentagon because we will not sign an unprecedented Defense Department document…That policy prevents us from doing our job. Signing that document would make us stenographers parroting press releases, not watchdogs holding government officials accountable.”

Resist

“The president falsely claimed…” Lied He lied LIED The media fuckin sucks stop doing gymnastics to find ways to say LIES

I didn't even know Columbus Day was here; so I've decided I discovered it.

"Support the troops, y'all!"

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

I’m watching how everyone mourns Diane Keaton. Be respectful or I’m calling your jobs.

Imagine that

Trump: “I don’t know what could be worse than Portland. They don’t even have stores anymore”. Portland: Busts out the inflatable frog, raccoon, bear and unicorn for a late night dance party. This isn’t a city of dangerous criminals. It’s a city of artists. Of writers. Of weirdos. Of resisters.

I don't think an algo has taken over bluesky... yet

“A second inflatable frog has now been spotted wiggling through Portland.”

"But Weiss didn’t test well with audiences, who didn’t understand her centrist-right contrarian politics. In fact, her focus group scores were so low that she wasn’t invited back to guest host, according to insiders."

This is it, the dumbest thing I’ve seen today

trump crossed the line to objectively fascist a long time ago but it's funny that he can have an anti-anti-fascist task force and people still treat it like an open question

Big Money and bribes are fueling Trump and Homan’s corrupt deportation system.

Thanks, New Yorker

ACCOUNTABILITY, NOT WEAPONIZATION: Marsha Blackburn is reprising her favorite role as victim no. 1 because she her name appeared in an FBI subpoena. For the record, Blackburn was communicating with Donald Trump on Jan. 6 as he was attempting to steal the 2020 election. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

REPUBLICANS: [Committing, aiding, and abetting uncivil acts of fascism.] LIBERALS: "You are fascists." REPUBLICANS: "How uncivil of you to say that. Where is your civility?"

WATCH: CA Gov. Gavin Newsom calls BS on Republican healthcare promises by pointing out the recent damage they’ve done to our healthcare 🎯

This is an Epstein shutdown

Hmmm... weird.

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

I used to think that social media was overpopulated by lawyers, but between this and the "if you hate AI you're racist" stuff there are a HELL of a lot of people who would get every analogy question wrong on the LSAT. bsky.app/profile/segy...

Same judge. While Miller rails about judges.

Real boss babe

Sometimes I wonder how we got here but then sometimes I think about when Blair Witch was released and a lot of us were like omg they FOUND this footage that’s so crazy

WHEN YOU BUTTON A JACKET THATS TOO SMALL, THAT FABRIC HAS TO COME FROM SOMEWHERE AND NOW THE COLLAR AND SHOULDERS ARE GAPING OPEN AND SITTING WRONG

Goodness. Affirmation Coyote hopes you watch this.

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents. The legacy of the Roberts court.

Bari Weiss and JD Vance are very similar figures with very similar skills.

Worst moment for any indigenous tribe or any youth hostel.

The Republican shutdown means clinical trials will stop enrolling new patients for life-saving treatment. But, hey, at least construction on Donald Trump's golden ballroom for his billionaire buddies will continue.

I’ll say it again: Pete Hegseth looks like whatever Hoobastank means

Blaming democrats for the shutdown 🤡🤡
