i might be going out on a limb here but it is not good parenting to take your kids to jeffrey epstein's private island 4 years after he plead guilty to sex crimes involving children, & it is very strange to list their ages to him

Elon Musk owns a website that generates child porn and was an eager associate of Jeffrey Epstein long after it was known Epstein trafficked children for sex. How is anyone continuing to be associated with any of his projects companies or operations

Many people are asking "why don't other politicians do this" and the answer is BECAUSE they don't want you to understand this shit and they want you to just trust they know what they're doing when they're secretly fuck you over. Look at the funding bill!

The entire American political economy has been organized around rent seeking since 1980 when the majority of national elected officials chose to abandon trying to balance the public good against business political privileges.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

here is a foundational problem with AI art that AI cannot solve: anyone using it to make art cannot identify bad art. you learn how to recognize bad art (and improve as an artist) via MAKING art, which they have already fully rejected. the sets do not intersect.

Part of the secret of how this works is that, if you are in the "founder" tier of guy, a bunch of stuff that you count as "work" is stuff an actual worker would get fired for doing on the clock

It’s easy to forget since he’s still a high public official but Homan straight up took $50,000 in cash from undercover agents on camera and then nothing happened

This is sort of a throughline in cases of excessive force used by law enforcement. The civilian is supposed to perfectly adhere to some unwritten code of conduct; the armed professional supposedly trained for such situations is only human & must be given lattitude if they succumb to fear and rage.

This ass funded the government in November and now he's concerned Trump didn't stick to the deal. Imagine being this slow on the uptake.

Chuck Schumer is funding the attack on MSP with your tax money. He's never gonna stop. Chuck loves ICE. He's actively helping the murderers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Murdering Dem officials like Melissa Hortman wasn't enough for MN. Chuck wants to make sure taxpayers feel fear and pain too

And the leader of the opposition party agreeing to continue funding this attack on Americans with our hard earned tax money has to be up there as well.

This is all stupid bullshit but I remain pretty disgusted at how things like marriage and having children are treated like Xbox achievements instead of actually loving and caring for someone else. Yeah I’m going to work 70 hours a week but definitely need a spouse, her name is Beth or something idk

When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?

Can't reform this. Abolish.

This is why I have real fucking problem with blithe criticisms of "polarization" or "congressional dysfunction." We have a Republican member blaming his colleague for being attacked. The problem isn't polarization or dysfunction. It's the Republican Party.

this is a fake problem. no one is saying this to regular, offline people who are coming around. they’re saying it to people who are engaged in professional political analysis who committed professional malpractice by scolding people who saw what was coming. no, those people shouldn’t get a break.

Democrats should demand every sitting Republican decry this attack and explicitly denounce it, and then censure all of them when they don’t do it. Act like normal decent humans defending your colleague.

just limitless depravity

DHS has suspended Greg Bovino’s access to his social media accounts. Now, if he wishes to tell lies with impunity or denigrate Americans based on ethnicity, religion, and political affiliation without significant contradiction, he will be limited to American mainstream media.

If I sent a letter saying I would continue to inflict violence and murder on a community unless that community made legal concessions to me, I would go to prison. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Can’t help but notice a lot of social media reports of Tik Tok censoring anti-ICE content in its first weekend under Trump-directed US management, and no mainstream news coverage thus far.

It's not even a clever or thoughtful false equivalence. A small child can understand why those who the state has granted a monopoly on the use violence have a higher obligation to deescalate than random protesters do.

we can cancel green energy projects in progress that have had billions in construction already completed with the stroke of a pen but not muh ballrooms

The spirit that I read the people who are saying 'we warned you about this' wrt to the imperial boomerang & other types of roosting chickens we are dealing with right now, exceptions aside, is less about trying to be right than it is about hoping that if there is a next time they will be listened to

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

America as you have known it dying because we have to build this country better. Full stop. Holding on to the fantasy nostalgia doesn't help the people of Minneapolis, or anyone captured by ICE. You have lived with an illusion of freedom, but this is Authoritarianism 101.

"Asmongold figured it out? ASMONGOLD? This is a real low point. Yeah, this one hurts."

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit. It's all white supremacy and greed.

Look, I believe in casts, but if a parent has strongly-held anti-cast beliefs, they should be allowed to let their kid’s broken arm grow back all floppy and fucked up, even to the point of lifelong, debilitating pain. And that’s not child abuse because a kid’s bones are their parents’ property

All I have ever heard about every news story from Bill Clinton to drag shows is “it’s awful, parents have to explain this to their children, why can’t we just let kids be kids?” Now an entire classroom is going to go home to parents trying to explain why their five year friend was taken by the govt

Country is done if you think we can vote our way out. We have people running as Dems voting for shooting Renee Good in the face. These Dems want more Renee Goods to happen.

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

'Retraining' I I say as a fucking idiot who hates my fellow Americans. How many people in MSP saying retrain? This is gonna be YOUR neighborhood soon as Chuck and Hakeem pass that shit on through

Sorry, you think European athletes attending an Olympic games is just as “unserious“ as the total inability of Congress to constrain a rogue president from threatening their countries?

ICE got plenty of money when Chuck Schumer folded and now they're saying fuck you. What a shock. If anyone continues to fund the government at the end of the month they are Republican.

I think maybe a lot of bad things could be avoided if the worlds most obvious crooks faced some sort of punishment other than “accumulating great sums of money and power”

At what point does losing 77 billion dollars impact a business? The global box office for all movies, put together, in total, all movies everywhere in 2025 was 33.5 billion dollars. He lost more than double that on “legs”

This is an answer nobody would ever accept from a democrat. A democrat who gave this answer would be ruthlessly mocked until the end of time. Yet Trump and Republicans get away with it without so much as a follow-up.

Two days ago we learned that Federal agents showed up at a Washington Post reporter’s home, searched it, seized her phone and two laptops. We also learned that the Post's owner, Jeff Bezos, remained silent that day. No words of support. Well, Thursday came and went and still nothing from Bezos.

hey Mom can you come pick me up. yeah everyone on the niche microblogging website is arguing about who has the correct emotional posture to the unknowable future again

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

"The law is whatever I write on a piece of paper" -- political philosopher Saddam Hussein

remember, a college student who gets an F because she wrote "because Jesus says so" in an essay she didn't do any reading for is tyranny but a dean losing her new job because of her beliefs is freedom. what are you not getting about this.

If you're not foregrounding that the Greenland debacle would be illegal, immoral, and requires resources that are not the president's to use then you need to get a job outside of journalism. Exact same failings as the 51st state stuff last year. These people are morons but this isn't a joke

There is a longer version of the video of a kidnapping of this kid - there really is no other word for it - here. As he is being shoved into the DHS vehicle he breaks down. At about the 2 minute mark you hear a DHS agent say "wow - fucking child" sarcastically. bringmethenews.com/minnesota-ne...

ICE kidnap 17-year-old U.S. citizen working at Target then dump him bleeding and crying miles away in a Walmart parking lot… 🤬
