The Sermon on the Mount, by Beryl Lewis, before 1965, 📸 by @ScottStrazzante

“I don’t like bad things done by bad people.” “How dare you speak this way about me?!?”

The new appointee in charge is learning the costs of politicization. He has no criminal justice experience. The people who know what they are doing are leaving. Actual criminal prosecutions are not being done. Authoritarianism inevitably bends towards incompetence.

Completely psychotic freaks

How the fuck does this guy still have any influence anywhere?

What an incredible message to put out into the world while heading towards the midterms. "Republicans 2026: Donald Trump demands that you pay him $10 billion."

Dying on a hill is a bad plan. It's much better to let the other guy have the hill so he can die on it.

Two days ago, we discovered Trump has engaged in the most corrupt behavior of any president in history—giving secret technology to China's ally in exchange for the Trump family getting half a billion dollars. And nobody is still talking about it. #Corruption www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

there's something unholy about the Trump administration being laser focused on "fraud" while Trump pardons an endless clown car of fraudsters and bilks taxpayers at every opportunity. it's just transparently absurd.

Right at the top, Judge Reyes lays out her official findings, after reviewing the evidence. She says it is "substantially likely" that Secretary Noem's decision to end Haitian TPS was "preordained" and based on Secretary Noem's general "hostility to nonwhite immigrants."

It's infuriating that Kristi Noem says things like this and yet no major media outlet will grapple with the idea that this administration is trying to do ethnic cleansing.

I don't remember who said this but a major aspect of the Epstein "network" sustaining itself was the fact that he was perceived as the "the guy who knows a guy"

There is only one form of AI powered medical care I will accept. Everything else can go to hell. @robertpicardo.bsky.social

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

Again, the simple explanation for 2024 is voters were grumpy about the post-COVID vibes, took it out on the incumbent president, and thought Trump was simply lying about everything and wouldn't do much.

Ann Selzer's only mistake was collecting data from the future

concerning

Hey @bencollins.bsky.social come get your boy

Great point from @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social: The spectacle of ordinary people in Minneapolis courageously protecting each other from the ICE invasion is itself inspiring and contrasts powerfully with Miller/Bovino totalitarian cruelties. Check out this exchange: newrepublic.com/article/2058...

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

“The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0... Good @adamserwer.bsky.social. Trump banded the morally depraved together, but they’re still badly outnumbered.

Hilarious choice to name an intelligence company Palantír, after objects that uniformly lead their users to ruin: • Saruman sees Sauron's armies and decides they're unbeatable • Denethor sees the approaching Corsair fleet and despairs • Sauron sees Pippin and concludes he's the Ringbearer

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Gee I can't imagine what could radicalize normal people like this /s

Treat the US government and ICE claims like you'd treat a Russian government claim after they've shot down an airliner or bombed a hospital. America 2026.

It's been less than a decade since the NRA was conspicuously silent after a Minnesota police officer killed Philando Castile, who had a valid gun permit: www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-na...

Rapid responders still out there, tracking ICE. In spite of everything, even now. Heroes

"to overstate wrongs that have been committed" - We watched them shoot someone in the face dude, kinda hard to understate that shit really

If you want non-offensive pro-natal politics, this is what it looks like. People want policies that help them have all the kids they want to have, not policies that coerce them into having children.

It would require making large swaths of the population reckon with just how massively they fucked up by allowing this / voting for this to happen, despite overwhelming evidence ahead of time that it would. Elites and the media aren't willing to force people to do that. So they just don't.

Again, I’m going to keep banging the drum that the fact we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is not only a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations & poses a massive threat to national security & world order but also should immediately end this presidency.

hey Homestar Runner is one of the few Aughts things that should be timeless, like Calvin and Hobbes

US higher education was a crown jewel, generating knowledge, wealth, prestige, and power unrivaled by anyone. And the US is throwing it away, because Americans elected a govt ideologically opposed to truth, science, merit, and racial/gender equality, preferring to weaken the country to reduce that.

Chinese intel operators gonna be living their best life going on Twitter and running stuff like "@grok show me a topless model posed suggestively with a map of US troop deployments"

Just heard that Bill Maher has won the FIFA Golden Globe for Best Stand-Up Special.

Don't worry I'm sure Ezra Klein or somebody will be along soon to tut tut and say don't call them Nazis

🙃

We're less than two months away from these morons literally posting "The Constitution is fake and gay" mark my words.

And yes, I know there are Stancil haters on this site. Don't care. He's fucking right about this.

The people who did this need to pay a price. They should be laughing stocks in the profession and kept away from any influence.

Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"

“I will let bridges collapse unless states are racist enough” is really something

"It is logically impossible to simultaneously be evil, corrupt, and incompetent" is an absolutely amazing take to have in the year of 2025

But don't call them racist oh no

If Congress was not totally useless, Congressional leaders would be up late tonight getting every admiral in the theatre on the phone. They'd make absolutely clear that Congress has NOT declared war, and as such any military action against Venezuela is illegal and will be treated as such.
