we've got some ICE shit going down in our little town today and it took like three minutes for a convoy of wine moms to start chasing them around town. normies hate this shit and are putting in the work

Motherfucker grew up in LA. There is NO rich white person in LA whose life would be anything like what it is without immigrant labor. They would literally not have food to eat.

"Hernández boasted that he would 'stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses' while trafficking more than 500 tons of cocaine into the US. "Trump freed him, saying, 'If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail'..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

In a lawless administration, reminders to obey the law are rather unwelcome. So Mark Kelly must be punished for not fitting in by obeying the rules.

It’s official: RFK Jr has officially reduced recommended childhood vaccines from 17 to 11, removing universal vaccine recommendations for RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, dengue and two types of bacterial meningitis. This reckless contravention of science is going to kill people.

Zelenskyy has appointed Canada's Chrystia Freeland as Ukraine's Special Advisor on Economic Development. This places one of the most experienced Western economic & geopolitical operators directly into Ukraine’s reconstruction and long term development strategy. #cdnpoli 🧵

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been dissolved, ending its 58 years as the primary funder for PBS, NPR and local TV and radio stations

he “picked” her? she’s the VP. she’s next in the line of succession whether he likes it or not. what is this framing?

MacCALLUM: You have about 100,000 dying from drug overdoses, most of those drugs from from Venezuela and other places CROW: That's actually not true. The majority of the deaths by drugs in America are the result of meth and fentanyl. Almost none of that comes from Venezuela

Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

What X is allowing Grok to do is unlawful or regulatory-illegal in multiple jurisdictions, creates clear DSA violations, and continues despite regulator scrutiny. The images do not need to be pornographic, non-consensual sexualised or intimate depictions are enough.

Are you worried things can’t get stupider? I assure you they can and will

So Trump successfully bullied a good man and his family. Because winning over Harris Walz wasn’t enough. Trump wanted to destroy him. Walz is making the right decision for his family. But the success of Trump’s grotesque bullying campaign is yet another frightening step in our national descent.

Here are some choice quotes from Jack Smith’s testimony about the conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election. “..the evidence made clear that President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy.”

I get that, for Canada, U.S. belligerence is incentive to try to further diversify oil exports to overseas markets. But at some point we may need to take into account that the geopolitical situation is also incentive for most countries to try to accelerate their shift away from oil reliance.

Yep #FordFuckedItUp Ontario. His seething corruption is part of a global decay. This series by Rutger Bregman does a good job of explaining this moral decline and a way forward. www.bbc.com/audio/play/m...

Doug Ford has utterly failed the people* of Ontario. *donors, developers, and friends and family of Doug Ford not included

#canada #cdnpoli #ontario #onpoli once again, a lesson in Canadian jurisdictional responsibilities.

Hello, IT? Yes, it's Premair. Is there anyway to delete all the GIGA-data things off my Blackberry all at once?

Your friendly reminder to keep an eye on Doug Ford. When the news gets hairy he likes to get busier stripping Ontario down for parts. #onpoli

Never thought the day would come when I would agree with MTG...But here we are

Trump's Razor: The pettiest explanation is usually the correct one.

Really the take from the last few years is that if the Europeans wanted to kowtow towards a rapidly democratic backsliding state with that dawg in it that would actually protect them from Russia instead of throwing them to the wolves they should have let Turkey into the EU.

My biggest fear is that this will be something everyone forgets about by next week

It’s old-fashioned to defend mainstream journalism these days but some of the most reliable reporting from people actually on the ground will be the AP and Reuters the next 24 hours. Your Substack journalist writing takes will be using frontline reporting from them.

Crazy how much of all this shit started because women wanted to talk about video games.

You can’t report illegal acts because you don’t want to compromise them being carried out is an interesting take, if true

shit. now I really have nothing.

I wish he’d fucking told me, I’ve been looking for wrath for ages, goddamn it 😡 Good job I didn’t need sloth or I’d have given up ages ago.

Extremely important study, with very concerning implications for the future. The COVID generation: the neurodevelopmental consequences of in-utero COVID-19 exposure. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

this is why we dont shake hands with the czechs

The paper that buried the leak about the Venezuela mission vs the publication that didn’t.

Another aspect of this beyond the sheer slander? Trump is tainting the jury pool. Because that wannabe cop will be going on trial. And I think the “dead to rights” phrase is a legit usage in this case, and the prosecution won’t fuck up their own case by leaking. But Conspiracy Land? that’s proof

Calling public benefits “entitlements” is just the most contemptible right-wing trash.

No. No. No. Punitive processes make narrowly targeted programs *less* efficient and *more* costly. Because more scrutiny requires more bureaucracy. Punitive processes also make it *less* likely that people will get aid for which they qualify. Because of the roadblocks and stigma scrutiny creates.

Pretty cool www.bbc.com/news/article...

NEWS: A source confirms DOJ has NOT provided Congress the legally required explanation for redactions in the Epstein file releases, despite a Jan. 3 statutory deadline under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

So… I mostly got to know this Rafferty album cuz my dad had the cassette tape in his old Toyota in Malta. I’d go visit him then drive his left hand stick shift around the island at night listening to the ark & the rest. City to City is a complete masterpiece. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_to...

look if someone wants to do that with trump or netanyahu you won't hear a peep of complaint from me. what's the point of laws anyway if they're only broken to grab random world leaders and not avowed pedophiles and genocidal fascists.

Realizing U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to lead a revival of Venezuela’s beleaguered oil industry could be a yearslong and challenging process costing upwards of $100 billion.

🔴 I'll say it till I'm blue in the face: the mental underling, Poilievre, is severely UNFIT to be Prime Minister of a great country such as Canada. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Fortunately, Canadian voters know it too.

The alliance with the United States is over, Canada, Mexico, Greenland, and Europe need to act like it and prepare the population for it.

CBS cancelled another 60 Minutes piece… This time on the Epstein cover-up. CBS is basically a state-run propaganda rag protecting the President. Oh, and btw, innocent people don’t force the news to cancel coverage of investigations into their sex crimes.

We cannot become numb to the outrage of this. The wife of the President’s Senior Advisor threatens a sovereign nation.

We didn't need a list to convict Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, Harvey Weinstein or Diddy… We just listened to the victims. Why now?! 🤔
