5-tour military vet calls #ICE agents traitors and tells them to prepare for a one-way mission if they come to his neighborhood #chicago #portland Now THAT’S true patriotism 🇺🇸

Stephen Miller is murdering Venezuelans and Colombians in cold blood bc he believes it helps his propaganda campaign to paint Latinos as dangerous. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

What do you think, what percent of members of TPUSA (aka Toilet Paper Under Satan’s Asshole) were just bad students, who wanted to help punish their least favorite professor for giving them a bad grade? Thus proving that they ACTUALLY know the subject better than the professor.

Gee, who were the innocent victims of those nasty Antifa people in Weimar Germany? Did they ever recover?

They actually DO believe federal troops marched in their states, and therefore this is a just response That’s because Fox News told them 24/7 that this was happening This is true for a lot of Trump’s grievances: they’re reactions to things that did not actually happen

Its not lost on me that the conservative bugaboo for years was federal troops marching in their states and cities and its the first thing Trump reached for once in power

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

The generals are calling them “Fat Man” and “Little Boy” because of how badly they bombed.

this shit is so cringe. Pete Hegseth took us from “speak softly and carry a big stick” to “boast drunkenly and hit your wife”

Trump couldn't just let it go. He always chooses ... escalation.

It's genuinely exciting that Sinclair has decided to make themselves visible.

Ok so...like at some point this is elder abuse right? Putting this demented dipshit in front of a camera to metaphorically shit on the floor every day is...not good.

I see people are already reposting these Trump comments with colorful and insightful commentary like "he now controls the networks with an iron fist!!" and let me ask, does Trump pay you for this PR, because if so he has a history of writing bad checks.

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

Charlie Kirk was killed by an even more far right extremist who wanted to impress his Groyper online friends but Elon Musk has never let the facts get in the way of him promoting violence against people he hates.

Ah yes, he's never seen it happen, so of course that means it just doesn't happen.🙄

“Political violence has gotta stop!” “Also pardon every one of these people!”

I noticed parallels recently between two of the biggest topics of the year: AI (LLMs) and Donald Trump. Both of them spew seemingly endless quantities of apparently-sensible words, but have no regard for their truth, or even their meaning. Also, they are both worshiped by a few sad people as gods.

This idea that authoritarian governance leads to fecundity really isn't reflected in the data. There is a clear trend of growing liberalism over a period of falling birthrates, but Hungary's Orban and Afghanistan under the Taliban haven't seen sudden increases in birthrates.

ICYMI: @johnfugelsang.bsky.social joined @deanobeidallah.bsky.social discussing feminism in the bible and how Jesus broke laws pertaining to talking with and educating women.

I'm a trauma psychotherapist - stop interviewing kids right after a shooting to get ratings!!! Telling their story might help them or it might be really harmful. They need trauma-informed support to help them process. Support the kids: don't watch these interviews.

Good on you for doing this. I will say this; the idea that any one person can be totally familiar with all of the (de)evolving euphemisms that bigots around the world use without that being their full-time job is unrealistic. Part of the point of such games is to muddy the waters and sow distrust.

A beatdown in broad daylight was caught on video: Masked men in tactical vests grappled, tased, and piled onto a delivery worker. Pinning the worker face down on the pavement, agents tased him again and punched him repeatedly in the head.

Am I understanding this correctly? Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend wants to eliminate mail-in voting because an enemy of the United States and a violent dictator who is on his own fifth Presidential term is for some reason very invested in American elections

Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2014, when the world refused even to recognize russian aggression. Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2022, when the world expected us to fall in 72h. Ukrainians won't surrender in 2025, either. For us, freedom and sovereignty are not empty words.

Let’s be clear about the “Epstein list.” We already have lots of lists, and DJT is on all of them. What we need now is hard evidence of specific crimes. Not just any Epstein list will do. The only list we need is a list of people who physically abused those children, with receipts.

Glad to see more people catching on that it was never about pee tapes. #SheShed

Donald Trump (preventing the release of the Epstein files because he’s all over them, transferred Gislaine Maxwell to a low security prison) just intervened in a child sex crime arrest in Nevada and let the guy go because he’s friends with Netanyahu.

For the first time in his 60 years on this earth the fop Piers Morgan said/wrote something insightful and some bastard at X deleted it! I don't understand it!

I want ICE gone. But at the very least, they need better training—they clearly don’t know what the F they’re doing. 🚨 A man was killed on the 210 Freeway after running into traffic while fleeing an ICE raid at a Home Depot. This is the second known death in Southern California tied to these raids.

On one hand, Republican officials call themselves "warfighters." On the other, they become whiny crybabies at the thought of setting foot in DC streets and New York City subways that literal schoolchildren navigate every day without incident. Real macho stuff.

I'm going to link this entire exchange in our story, and frankly I don't see much of an alternative. If we exist in these two very different planes of reality, I don't see how journalists can do much but show people the entirety of all exchanges.

The stuff that, 15 years ago, would have been a screaming 72-point all-caps headline — and now appears in the sixth paragraph, almost as an aside www.wsj.com/world/russia...

Trump has given the District of Columbia the opportunity to make its case for statehood to the American public. Long overdue.

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda. This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

08.08.08:17 years ago,Russia invaded Georgia. While Putin was admiring the opening of the Olympics in Beijing,his troops were invading a neighboring country What lessons the world did not learn after August 2008: ◾️Putin will not stop at one victim;

All the government funding that used to help with vaccines was rededicated to invent the Anti-Lemon, a fruit with all the same properties as a lemon except it can give you scurvy. The Secretary thinks everyone should try scurvy once, to build character.

These Smithsonian tweets didn't age well...this seems tame now that Trump is literally firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

It's probably be too late for the Epstein files, but to prevent future party-sensitive data like that from being deleted from government records, maybe it should be kept in a blockchain? I've often thought of blockchains as a solution looking for a problem...could this be the most valuable use yet?

The GOP wants to have the Ten Commandments exhibited in school houses while celebrating The Seven Deadly Sins being exhibited in The White House.

Cmon. CHAIRMAN OF THE FED MAXWELL

Remember how upset they got at being called "weird" can you imagine if some enterprising Dems started calling Republicans "scared" and "frightened" whenever a camera is near them and tying them to being weak and afraid and in no position to lead. Seriously! They will lose it.

[thousand yard stare, exhaling smoke from a cigarette] you know, people used to not believe that conservatives became liberals and liberals became conservatives but we have the american right exhibiting more government as paternalism and nanny state shit than anyone on the left would ever dream of

There's a trend going around TikTok to have ChatGPT create visual alphabets (because the output is always full of ridiculous mistakes). I generated this one to use an example to help explain WHY AI image generators make these kinds of mistakes. It turned out even better/worse than expected.

Non-spectator, noncompetitive sports become sidelined in material ways. Less funding, less attention in culture, less support from parents and administrators. Which I believe has the effect of filtering people out of engagement with sport. Kids play, adults work out.

What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky. So what's up? Here’s my take 🧵

White House officials have an expression for lying to the MAGA faithful, it's called 𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗭𝗢𝗠𝗕𝗜𝗘𝗦. They mock you behind closed doors—laughing as they cook up the next batch of cockamamie misinformation to feed you to keep you blindly loyal, angry, and distracted.
