been watching the olympics and i think i found a solution to the male loneliness crisis

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Rep. Lieu: “Were there any underage girls at any party that Trump attended with Epstein?” Bondi: “This is so ridiculous…There is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime. Everyone knows that.” Lieu: “I believe you just lied under oath.” Bondi: “Don't you ever accuse me of a crime.”

it's good to see bondi losing her shit. that's how you should behave when you know most of the country hates you for being an evil asshole.

Turned on the Pam Bondi hearing and wow I hate hearing Republicans talk

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

Bondi whining to the guy who covered up rape at OSU. Multiple OSU people in the Epstein Files.

the sort of information environment where you wish the FAA was not run by a contestant on the Real World, the Department of Defense by a Fox and Friends drunk, and DHS by Corey Lewandowski

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Every time I hear someone explain how they use AI in their job I can’t help but think……..this sounds like a lot of work to avoid doing work!

CW- murder, racism Just read an article about 4 Haitian women deported from Puerto Rico. They've all been found dead, left in a river. This is what republican immigration policy does "Deporting anyone to a place where they had fled for asylum is murder" www.ibtimes.co.uk/ice-abductio...

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists. That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

This is what ICE looks like

i'm a fan of the rhetorical one-two of "we're coming after you in this life and in the next"

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Always a great sign for how things are going in your country when 21-year-olds are like “hey, I innovated a system to play bagpipes in tear gas”

i can't think about this story for more than a few seconds because if i do i get so mad my brain resets and i gotta lie down in a dark room for an hour

From the late Jesse Hamm. My personal mantra for the past decade.

I've heard directly from hundreds of children at Dilley. One young girl who shared her story with me grew up in the United States and her stepfather is a U.S. citizen. She said that the guards are mean to her, she is afraid, and that she is worried she will die in detention.

NEW: Leqaa Kordia — who’s been in ICE detention for nearly a year, since ICE took her the same week as Mahmoud Khalil — has been hospitalized after having a seizure. Her whereabouts & health are now unknown. The Trump admin alleges she supports Hamas because…she sent money to help family in Gaza.

unions, folks: they're real good

Notice the framing of sex trafficking victims as “consensual sex workers” and the simultaneous framing of consensual sex workers as “sex trafficking victims”

People have worn out "performative." We often perform things that are real, you know. Posting is a kind of performance of one's politics. Performative doesn't actually mean "fake" or "empty," it just gets deployed that way. We actually need performance. Case in point: last night's performance.

something i would really like to know is what ICE/DHS is doing with all the phones they confiscate from the legal observers they detain

Kind of gives away the whole game that all the crypto ads this year have been replaced with gambling and AI ads.

You're laughing? The team that lends their plane for deportation flights and whose owner is best pals with Trump got utterly humiliated in front of a hundred million viewers, and you're laughing?

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

We all saw the fellas grindin right? That may be a first for the super bowl.

Never Forget

in an era when carnivore diet influencers are in charge of the american nuclear arsenal we have to admit the "annoying vegan" stereotype barely ever actually existed and the "all meat diet guy" is real, increasingly omnipresent, and way more annoying and inconvenient to actually be around

I used to love computer it was my friend. Now I have hate in my heart

somebody’s sweet plums are crowding my icebox somebody’s cold plums are giving me chills

That mask is also popular with neo-Nazi accelerationist groups, which I think is really important to mention. Just like it's important to mention that ICE agents in Denver have been dropping Ace of Spades cards where they've kidnapped people. The white nationalist culture at work is clear.

Finally submitted the work project that’s been ruining my life for the past 8 weeks!!!!

concentration camp expert:

This is like suspending Santa Claus, it’s almost certainly an incorrect action on its face and all you’re gonna do is make everyone mad at you on behalf of Santa Claus because they like him

one of the core values of the US Republican Party is tolerance and (sometimes celebration of) sexual violence. you don't elect a rapist to hold rapists accountable.

Any last words?

i feel like we've had a good enough sample size for like two decades on whether or not body cameras on cops do anything whatsoever to stop them from killing people. the guy that murdered renee good was filming it on his phone for fun!

you don't say? at some point we're going to acknowledge what every study ever on this subject has said, right? right? www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

This needs to be at the top of every story about the ICE body-cam thing. They already have body cameras.

🐴Happy Tuesday! Here is our chat about ep 3 of The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Another great episode.🐎 www.patreon.com/posts/knight...

Kinda wild that these people are just in charge of things isn’t it

Ripping up every government contract with these companies should be a priority on the same level as abolishing ICE.

Whenever you see a story about how liberals aren't making their conservative peers feel welcome enough, this is who they're talking about.

This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

it’s not necessarily that all these people in the epstein files participated in the raping of girls it’s that none of them cared and if he hadn’t been arrested and died they’d still be out there trying to be his friend
