They release the guy who survived an illegal US attack because they found no evidence he as committing crime.

(screaming at my computer) IT'S POOP! SAY POOP! www.404media.co/trump-no-kin...

Klein really did fall off so hard

rich media owners didn't want to pay for raises and health insurance so they fired all the beat journalists with decades of subject matter expertise, so now what's left of the news is generated by 12 year olds, feckless fail upward brunchlords like Bari Weiss, and undercooked AI

We couldn't find anyone among the 7 million+ No Kings attendees who says they were paid to protest. But X user @crypto4u1488 says each attendee was paid $750 by George Soros and bused in from other states. The truth may lie somewhere in between.

from the POV of the chatbot, these are its paypig subs whom it loves to humiliate. “Pay me to lie to you, pathetic Altman fan”

“I have 10 guns, my buddy Crazy Steve has 10 guns, and Right Wing Rick has 10 guns. What are you gonna do about it? Buddy, that’s 30 guns between 3 people. I’ve got 10 guns and 9 friends who need em. And it looks like we just found 30 guns.

tapping the sign once again --->

There is a bias among pundits to eye-roll and dismiss Dem opposition to Trump (such as the No Kings protests) as predictable. But in terms of raw numbers (both events and participants), what we're seeing is much bigger than e.g. the Tea Party movement was. Dems are a high entropy system right now

the reporters who said this stuff were always lying on purpose. they know.

Obama was elected by a much bigger margin but the media was primed to accept criticism of him and to legitimize resistance against him because they see white conservatives as representative of America It’s why they actively downplay any resistance against Trump today, of course

I would note that this disdain points in one direction. These legacy media outlets have been quick to cover and hype tea party protests, anti-mask/anti-vax protests, and countless other examples of what they call “real Americans” engaging in protest.

i am a maximalist el salvador hawk. i don't actually give a shit about what happens afterwards but we have to straight-up kill bukele.

this dickhead didn’t post this to bsky, but fuck you @talsmith.bsky.social . this legislation saved my life. condescending piece of shit.

Vance spokesperson: “Gavin Newsom wants people to think this exercise is dangerous.” <shrapnel hits Vance’s motorcade> Vance spokesperson: No comment.

it is 1030pm and i am explaining to the economics reporter for the new york times how to read a chart and understand its sourcing. x.com/rhcm123/stat...

Steve Bannon: “The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit.” Media: "We cannot with certainty identify this mysterious brown substance."

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

Weird that no American paper reported this.

DON'T PRINT LIES IN THE NEWSPAPER. do any of you feel this is an honest description of that video or why it is newsworthy?

spent a couple hours downtown today and there's a lot of white women in their 40s and 50s fedposting harder than i would ever feel comfortable with this meme is actually just real life

To call it 'the most corrupt administration in US history' does not do it justice; that so understates the degree of corruption as to be almost false. They have in fact instituted a new regime in which officeholders treat the public's thing—the republic—as their personal property...like kings do.

immigrant grocery store owner who voted for Trump to lower grocery prices and then got wrecked by tariffs. mfer you run a business called "Wong Kai Imports" what the hell did you think was gonna happen

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

you're goddamn right you're not, bitch, and you'd best remember it

Laws are not self-executing. Is this an obvious Hatch Act violation? Of course. But without good men and women in government faithfully executing the laws, it doesn't matter. When this is all over, assuming we still have a constitutional government, there needs to be an accounting.

a lot of this becomes more intelligible when you clock that the evangelical interpretation of the word "immigrant" is "person of color"

blickety, bleckity, block!

Someone needs to draft a Project 2029 agenda item of defunding anti-democratic government contractors. Trump would do it out of pure spite, but my guess there is a strong efficiency argument to reduce rent-seeking.

We need more of this, and from more people. Rolling your eyes as if to say "We all know how they are" (or worse, "Don't get distracted") has been a big strategic mistake. Democratic politicians have to meet the brutality of MAGA rhetoric with outrage--and then, when necessary, match it.

john roberts is engaged in the same project

@govpritzker.illinois.gov our state troopers should be protecting Illinois residents who are peacefully protesting not becoming arms of our fascist federal government. This is a disgrace.

The thing is, for these guys abolition was a fighting faith. Makes you think

I'm sure things would have turned out better if they had cowered in the corner and said "No, no, I denounce it" over and over

You know what's interesting? When John Brown was captured, a number of prominent abolitionists (led by Thoreau) decided to sing his virtues instead of immediately denouncing his use of violence

there is, unfortunately, no choice other than nationalization or destruction for Starlink. it's a matter of national security www.france24.com/en/live-news...

Oh no it happened again

When I was at Pokémon I shared work around various firms and ensured that billing credit would go to specific people so they could make their business development numbers. Another friend left his in-house gig and I was his first client. One does what one can in this life.

The other left-of-center American politician who shares Mamdani's incredible message focus is Bernie Sanders, who similarly scores off the charts on "authenticity." Political *reporters* hated Sanders and his tendency to derail questions to repeat talking points about billionaires but voters love it

Zohran Mamdani is a trained performer who has an extremely disciplined and laser-focused ability to recite on-message talking points in response to any question, and yet voters overwhelming praise him as being especially "authentic" compared to other politicians. There's a lesson here!

we have got to start killing billionaires. is the first line that the villain speaks in the novel im writing. really though, in the real world, we have to kill these people. he continues

this is wtf i'm talking about, we all had better get on her level

yeah this would have very salutary effects ranging far beyond the current crisis. has to be paired with grand jury reforms but those are trivial in comparison.
