This might be the most blatant example in existence of "rich guy who created a problem attempting to place the blame for that problem on immigrants"

Two people got murdered in broad daylight by their own government and more and more Minnesotans kept showing up on the streets to protect their neighbors. When you don’t have any moral principles, it’s hard to understand other people who do.

There’s a rainbow outside the Kennedy Center right now as a crowd awaits Trump’s name to be pulled off the arts venue

we are going to see more photos of the new trump algae infested reflecting pool than we ever did of the old algae infested reflecting pool lol

Wow, Trump finally got a crowd to show up at the Kennedy Center.

Thank you, birthright citizenship, for that goal

it actually brings me great pleasure to know that billionaires are so afraid of journalists that they’re trying to build whole new systems for justice to diminish our power. despite corporate consolidation, we continue to do something they can’t fully buy and it drives them mad. stay mad, assholes.

THAT’S TWO BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP GOALS IN THE FIRST HALF FOR TEAM USA

Some of the efforts being made in Belfast right now to protect people, because the government can't or won't, will be familiar to Minnesotans.

News: A Manhattan magistrate judge has determined Brad Lander is NOT GUILTY of obstructing elevators and an elevator lobby at 26 Federal Plaza while demanding access to ICE detention cells last summer

The problem is that “I am often scared and angry about social change” does not inherently lend itself to interesting art. You can be as technically skilled as the greats, but art with nothing interesting to say is just a commodity.

the generation gap here is so huge. it was not kids and teenagers who fell for the ten-year right-wing propaganda campaign to erase every tiny inch of progress made on trans rights; it was their parents and grandparents. the party is not prepared for what winning a primary will look like by 2036

It isn't "racial pride." The manifesto, which I'm reading right now, is a total slop-bucket of neo-Nazi accelerationism with misogynistic rants and multiple sections that are completely unfinished. It lionizes Brenton Tarrant, who murdered 51 people in a NZ mosque in 2019. nymag.com/intelligence...

A **majority** of those arrested for the Jan 6 attack were white small business owners with past histories of bankruptcy, liens, and tax problems. An attempted coup carried out by realtors, auto dealers, and former cops.

The Trump $1.776 billion slush fund is not mere corruption. Trump is giving his brownshirts money for recruiting, logistics, AR-15's and tactical gear. Nobody in the national media seems to be talking about this, or about how the Paycheck Protection Program played a central role in funding Jan 6

!!! *HUNGARY'S GOAL IS TO ADOPT THE EURO, PREMIER MAGYAR SAYS

This is BIG. These are the first charges relating to an incident that occurred during an enforcement operation.* The officers involved were accused of lying under oath about this shooting, as the Trump admin admitted. *the previous indictment involved an ICE agent who road raged while on duty.

I’ve never really been an Our Tax Dollars guy but all the blatant corruption, ballroom, slush fund for rioting pedophiles etc is really throwing me into a permanent state of rage and bloodlust. Something’s gotta give

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

QUINTANILLA: According to the filings, the president has been trading some Intel in the quarter JIM CRAMER: Yeah, uh, yeah, hmm FABER: Got nothing to say? CRAMER: Uh, uh, yeah, whoa, yeah. FABER: Don't worry. We're not having technical difficulties, but we gotta go

a lot of people on here refuse to take the corruption of the Biden DOJ seriously just because it's fictional

“Instead of student loan forgiveness we’re doing a coup forgiveness program”

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

Probably should be a bigger deal that the Trump Administration used taxpayer dollars to host a Christian Nationalist event in the nation's capital, but, nah. www.washingtonpost.com/religion/202...

The NYT removed the "um"s in Trump's answer on Taiwan, but put "um"s in AOC's answer on Taiwan to make her look dumb Trump said "Um, I would say 'like' is maybe too strong a word...um, no, I'm holding that in abeyance and it depends on China, depends, it's a, it's a.." L: Trump R: AOC Video below

Melania Trump infesting the White House with bees is the funniest thing no one's talking about right now #Bees #WhiteHouse

On the left is an Onion headline from March. On the right is Reuters, today.

"According to statistics compiled by the ACLU, women who kill their partners will spend an average of 15 years behind bars, while men who kill their female partners serve much shorter sentences, on average between 2 to 6 years."

trump and hegseth are presiding over one of the great Ls in american military history.

Multiple women serving sentences for nonviolent crimes at the minimum security prison where Ghislaine Maxwell is now serving time were punished for speaking to reporters about the special treatment Maxwell receives. At least two women were transferred to higher security facilities as punishment.

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

you fucked up a perfectly good freedom of navigation is what you did look at it, it's got tolls

The entire right wing ecosystem, from politics to media to business, is just for-profit contrarianism. The formula is: they name a real shortcoming of the imperfect status quo and once they got you they sell you horseshit that's much, much worse

the core of MAHA really seems to be “what if everything that is good for you is actually secretly bad for you, and vice versa”

correct. the reason you have to do that with mafia cases is crime bosses tend to carefully insulate themselves from direct participation in the crimes. that is not what happened on January 6

cool

This is what the Supreme Court calls “race neutral.”

Dawkins spending his entire career berating basically pretty normal people for being so stupid as to believe in God and then immediately giving himself Roko's Basilisk Derangement Syndrome after talking to the AI catgirl waifus is just the funniest shit.

No no keep letting ChatGPT write articles this is ART

thinking about the rod dreher illusion in light of the tucker carlson news. these guys only have the appearance of popularity because of a small number of rich patrons behind the scenes. they’re loud, they’re everywhere, but their ideas aren’t as popular as they’re made to appear.

the party of "a whole civilization will die tonight" fake-rending their garments over violent rhetoric is funnier than the entire history of saturday night live

I think you see so many politically moderate would be Trump assassins because Trump's assault on norms has been more jarring for people who had more faith in the American way.

the problem is that MAGA was already using this rhetoric when they saw someone use "latinx"

Just chatted with @taylorlorenz.bsky.social on the phone, and there's some confusion that I want to help clear up: she was not attending the dinner, did not have a ticket to the dinner; she was seriously just there to try to talk to someone who was at an event at the Hilton.

Sweet Jesus. This wave coming at the same time the tech bros are looking for massive sites for data centers is not going to end well.
