BREAKING: Comedians Compete For Bonesaw Signed By Jared Kushner at Riyadh Festival

The tiniest of light bulbs just lit up

The Democratic Party has 3 goals & 3 goals only, set by its paymasters: 1. Destroy progressives 2. Block all movement to the left 3. In the immortal words of Nancy Pelosi „building a strong Republican Party“ It's begging the good cop while the bad cop beats you to death in the interrogation room.

I need people who haven't studied psychology, neurology, or ontology in a formal manner to spend less time building false equivalences to defend AI and then insisting "that's just how thought works." It's not, people who spend their lives studying this can show you why it's not, and they're tired.

The computer is not alive.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Dramamine works but good God I've been fighting off drowsiness all day.

Pritzker told us to take out our phones and record ICE. But what do we do when it’s his own state police force brutalizing protesters, pinning them in so that federal agents can beat them? Illinois state police were standing shoulder to shoulder with ICE at Broadview today.

“They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down. We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military." The worst of what we feared when Trump’s spending bill gave ICE a blank check is happening.

These people hate our country. They hate Americans and have declared war on our constitution and freedoms. They should repent and resign

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

What I would give for a completely honest, anonymous assessment of this appalling and ludicrous spectacle from the commanders in the room.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

Uhhmm….A LOT of us did??? And we screamed and screamed and screamed and screamed at you?? The GOP literally *wrote it down* into a point by point playbook called Project 2025 that outlined every single one of these things?? MANY many people had each and every one of these things “on our bingo card”?

Meanwhile at the Riyadh comedy festival

i keep saying this but what i hate most about the ezra kleins of the world is their insistence is that politics is about messaging and triangulating. its never about offering a compelling vision of the world, its about trying desperately to capitulate to whatever moment we are in

Yesterday’s right wing terrorist attacks www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/09/yest...

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

Andrew Callaghan of Channel 5 news is still accused by multiple women of rape. Did the whole internet and political class just memory hole this? www.thestranger.com/news/2023/02...

In which a top US Border Patrol official, incredibly, tells my tall and Anglo colleague @chipmitchell1.bsky.social that he's not the type they're looking for as they go about downtown Chicago arresting people based on "how they look" chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Targeted attack on a dockside restaurant in North Carolina. Three dead. Suspect a former Marine sniper in Iraq and Haiti who tried to sue the US govt for “genocide against straight men by the LGBQT community.” Flags at half mast? Endless op-eds? Victims’ faces on coins? www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/u...

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it. This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.

The United States is simply not politically stable enough, nor sufficiently committed to democratic and international principles, to host the UN.

When the state erases evidence to prop up their lies, you’re no longer in a free society. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

We live in the most repulsive times. This so-called defense secretary is a lover of racism, insurrection, and war crimes. He celebrates the massacre of the indigenous but won't allow heroic indigenous troops to be honored or remembered. Shameful and repugnant.

The Brits have such a way with words. You know. Those things with letter that help you define and say stuff about things.

Pete Davidson, whose father was killed in the 9/11 attacks, hustling to wrap his lips around the Saudi money faucet is a powerful reminder that famous people are soulless ghouls.

the modal domestic terrorist over the next decade is going to be a terminally online 20-something who cooks their brain in irony-poisoned social media spaces and decides to kill a bunch of people as an elaborate shitpost

Is there a point where federal judges push back against the Supreme Court for constantly overruling them? At some point personal and professional pride have to be at stake. They’re basically calling these judges incompetent.

Mainstream political media is not equipped to communicate the basic realities of life to people whatsoever because it prioritizes power's interpretations of reality over verifiable facts.

A couple weeks ago, these blowdried chucklefucks were "joking" about how they should reclaim the word Nazi and now they're "joking" about blowing up the UN or gassing the foreign leaders inside. But they didn't say anything questionable about Charlie Kirk, so no big deal.

Errol Musk: "You must remember: in two thirds of the world right now, marriageable age is twelve." Interviewer: "Yeah, that's wrong though" Errol Musk: "Well, you may think so, but don't tell two thirds of the world that." youtu.be/gagYfbwVXFU?...

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

The University Democrats at UT-Austin, a longstanding student group, has been told that no guests, candidates, or speakers can speak at their meetings unless the administration approves them. Submitted speakers' lists have been ignored or summarily denied. Please HMU if you know a good 1A attorney

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

Nice post you got there, it'd be a shame if I deliberately missed your point so I could be tedious about it

1. BREAKING In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration.

TikTok will be co-owned by China and Trump allies, Paramount was sold to a pro-Trump billionaire who's also set to buy Warner Bros, X is owned by an apartheid-bred fascist, WaPo and Meta are owned by Trump-cowering billionaires, and Murdoch owns the Fox empire. Here's why media has a liberal bias.

I would love for a single democrat to reckon with the fact that conservatives are not in fact motivated by reasonable concerns. They are — just as they were with ‘concerns’ over blacks and gays and numerous other minorities over the last five decades — motivated by bigotry.

9-0 SCOTUS ruling from last year: “Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors.”

the H1-B thing seems unlikely to withstand a court challenge, but it's still deeply funny that it's basically a nuclear warhead aimed at businesses and executives who've been grandiosely and publicly kissing his fucking ass for nine months

The strategies employed by the Democrats are NOT centrist strategies. These are very clearly right-wing strategies that come straight from a conservative think tank.

It makes me sick to my stomach that grassroots movements for labor rights, police accountability, climate action, and anti-imperialism are baselessly accused of being "as extreme as MAGA" by the establishment, even though these movements are fundamentally about expanding democracy and human dignity.

its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project

"Dogs can't dunk basketballs!"

First the grand juries, now the trial juries. This Admin is not winning.
