War-ravaged Portland

Abolish ICE and also obtain all records of employment with the agency so we know who to prosecute and lock away in dungeons underneath prisons.

I finished Fallout 1 and 2 (the latter first, the only way I can stomach part 1's dated nature) off-stream. I'll play the entire series on stream at some point soonish but man oh MAN do I have some bones to pick with long-term fans of the series that mislead me about some things.

This is weakness. They can't stand being protested so they're going to bring absurd charges against protesters they know they can't sustain in actual court. It's going to tie up massive amounts of resources while real crime goes uninvestigated. This is pure intimidation and trying to instill fear.

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on. www.avclub.com/riyadh-comed...

if wrestling is fake explain this 🤼

this is christian nationalism on full display. this is the most consequential moment in our countries history. this cannot stand, if it does america is finished

Okay look, since we know crybaby Trump operates 100% on "someone made fun of me, I'm going to go after them in the most ridiculous ways" mentality, I have to ask. What did Portland, OR do to make Trump mad (probably without trying)?

"TikTok Is About to Go Full MAGA" This administration is in the final stages of a deal to hand over control of TikTok to pro-Trump, pro-Israel billionaire investors – and Joe Biden is to blame, argues @taylorlorenz.bsky.social for Zeteo:

Aaron Rupar, as good as a source for breaking news as he is, is usually extremely libbed up on is outlook on things. It is refreshing to see him on board with this point. Democratic Party leadership is failing and doing so willingly. It is complicit in the things happening in America.

I had a friend that's honest to a fault when drunk. By which I mean, she stops trying to be diplomatic about her thoughts on things. I say 'had' as in past-tense because our last conversation abruptly swung to her saying racist shit that I don't approve of. I suspected it for a while; now confirmed

Oh my god I thought it was Sunday and I just got corrected. Help I'm out of it.

If military grunts start shooting American citizens on American soil...

Some big implications for journalism, too, where reporters often mistake trending posts as a reasonable reflection of public opinion.

Finally finished watching Hilda with my niece. That last episode sure got weighty, but at least those moments were brief. I was wondering how a whimsy kid's show was going to cover the dark horribleness that is OG fairy folktales.

Maybe the SCOTUS should be disbanded for a while.

Oh fuck I just found out about Netanyahu wearing a QR code on a pin at the UN during his speech. DO NOT SCAN IT It is more than likely malware / spy shit that Israel and/or the USA are conducting.

Free Palestine. Like Liam said, the Irish know the pains of imperial oppression all too well, at the hands of the UK government. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/a...

From this day forward I will be advocating for American politicians to push policy to exhume the burial sites of American Nazis & others authoritarians in the current regime to dump them into international waters with no geo location recording.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

A trillion dollars of income required from us regular folk for a specific product is the most blaring red alarm for a con.

NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders. I spoke to multiple witnesses—including a local priest whose church is a sanctuary for undocumented people: www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...

Saw another video of allegedly ICE operatives kidnapping someone in a convenience store(?) entirely in plainclothes and no official identification and won't answer if they are cops or ICE. I'm not a lawyer but stand-your-ground laws might enable people to self-defense in a situation like that.

When you watch the footage of this you'll see that the ICE thugs have zero law enforcement training. - Unable to restrain someone - Pulls a gun post-restraint - Temporarily puts the gun IN HIS BELT - Aims the gun at bystanders - Apparently ejects his magazine somehow on accident Tax dollars at work.

This literally looks like something you'd do in a Mario Kart game.

Starting a new vitamin regiment today. Which is to say, starting one to begin with. Not expecting anything for the first couple weeks at all but just need to note it.

A mass walkout of the UN General Assembly as Netanyahu prepares to speak.

#vtuber things: Sorry I have to be the spoiler to inject politics often but this is important to note; the USA is very dangerous to travel to right now under our current regime. So far vtubers have been lucky coming and going, but it's a dice roll every time. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Nice, UN members walked out in protest when Netanyahu was taking the podium for his speech. Fuck that war criminal.

Trump got his Comey indictment Thursday and issued a memo directing "domestic terrorism" investigations. And yet, both provided more evidence that Trump is losing. On Thursday’s lashing out from Trump the tyrant, at Law Dork:

I don't care for the title of this clip (maybe just a mistake on the clipper's part) but Michi puts down a lot of cool shit in this. And she very directly talks about her country's politics, briefly. Very good stuff, love this silly goober. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQBp...

i hope people see this recent microsoft news as proof of BDS' effectiveness; especially in regard to raising publicity and encouraging action from microsoft employees and it inspires more people to join in keeping the pressure on these unrepentantly imperialist tech companies

Not saying that Legal Eagle should have (or would have) done this but sometimes I wonder if YouTube would respond to shit like this better if it were handled via litigation proceedings vs their busted internal systems. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEA0...

One of those "the system won't save us" moments if the SCOTUS continues enabling this shit.

People are going to die because of this.

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them. The current climate is especially accelerating this. Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves. Let's all join hands and change the world🫶🌏🫶

#vtuber things: Hey gang sorry to inject political awareness but, lots of you use TikTok. US ownership is a thing now and they're gonna be changing the algorithm to make it more like Twitter post-Elon.

Been listening to Majority Report this morning and one of the messages they got came from username "houthi and the blowfish" and I'm fucking crying laughing.

Adam Friedland on Piers Morgan was pretty fucking amazing. It took them two minutes of letting him speak uninterrupted to realize he was pulling one on them. I mean come the fuck on, hahahaha

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

This weak, brazen attempt by Stephen Miller both to chill free speech and to set up a premise to criminalize it — and, to be clear, this is the very type of speech most central to First Amendment protections — would be laughably embarrassing if this man did not have the power that he has.

Jesse Watters: "Political violence is wrong!" Also Jesse Watters: "Let's bomb the UN because the escalator broke when Trump approached it."

Oh my god Fox News is saying the escalator thing is a "massive, massive issue." Mitch Hedberg beat this to the punch a couple decades ago; escalators breaking isn't a big deal. They can only become stairs.

I said for years that the only way to permanently reduce migration to the United States was to destroy the vision that the world had of this country as the land of opportunity. That wasn't a goddam suggestion!

I dunno how Hasan puts up with engaging people in his chat like he does. Engaging them good faith I mean. It's such a frustrating thing to try and do, at least for me. I can't deal with fuckass losers who shift goal posts.

I need to highlight here that this is in response to a discussion of political ideology of a shooter. Yes, the 2nd amendment is the ultimate problem to solve, but that's a different discussion from "what the hell was this lunatic thinking?"

Apparently that post is taking off. I don't do this normally but I blocked precisely one person prior to any engagement with them, just because their profile gave me the vibes of someone to never take seriously. And also to see how much they'd flip out about it.

It's the South Park effect. That show taught a generation that caring about anything in either direction is dumb and something to be attacked.

"Trump agrees to our demand-" Oh boy oh boy- "to hold a meeting" ... That's not a demand you make. You make the demands during the meeting. I fucking hate Jeffries. Please retire loser.

RE: the shooting at the ICE facility Pay attention to how the regime and right-wingers are saying, "The rhetoric has to stop." The key word is 'rhetoric.' They have to define it, because once they do, they start saying disagreement equates to calling for violence - which it doesn't.
