This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

Great. Everything is so fucked that somehow I agree with Greenwald. He nails it here, though.

Los Angeles, CA - Crowd dancing among to a song saying “Kristi Noem is a bird legged hoe.” Noticing a lot of content creators with large lefty followings.

Important read.

Things are so bad that the Minnesota prison system has had to launch a website specifically to combat DHS lies. The first major release from DOC officials suggests Gregory Bovino outright lied about the target of the Border Patrol operation during which agents shot and killed Alex Pretti.

SPOILER ALERT: The Inuit don't agree with him. They like the free healthcare and education in Denmark. #HandsOffGreenland 🇬🇱🐻‍❄️

“…that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

Grocery prices were up 0.7 percent in December, the largest one-month gain since October 2022. They were up 2.4 percent from a year ago.

The job market “is struggling, and the broader economy is fragile, in big part due to U.S. tariffs .. the fastest way to boost the job market would be for the Supreme Court to declare the reciprocal tariffs unlawful and for lawmakers to let them become a thing of the past.” @markzandi.bsky.social

Kristi Noem and DHS do not deserve the benefit of the doubt The Department of Homeland Security and its leader have an honesty problem — and the numbers prove it.

Ex-JAG here—the proper move was to get arrested. That way when the court-martial comes around and asks him “what did you do in response to this obviously illegal order” he could’ve said “I went to the brig rather than follow it” and he would’ve been exonerated. Now? Well, now he won’t. War crime.

“The sick irony is that people who regularly share and defend his steady stream of scrambled, sickening word salads still have the stratospheric gall to accuse others of being mentally unwell for opposing him.”

I’m of two minds about this “male loneliness crisis” or whatever. On one hand it’s pretty clear that broken social relations (community, romantic, whatever) is a social problem. On the other hand dawg you can’t sit in the house unwashed gaming with fascists and expect to get any play from women.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

In their eyes, the U.S. is no different from any third-world country—the only difference is its people. Apart from being a sociologically and historically preposterous position, it's a yet further example of how nativism both requires, and is powered by, contempt for one's own country.

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker. Just to level set

Parents, if you have time to read anything today (and the capacity to feel rage), then these new allegations against two of the largest social media companies, and their apparent disregard of you and your kids’ relationships and mental health, should be it.

“We should be at home watching sports and taking naps, not fighting fascism.”

I haven’t seen this get covered in English yet so let me translate. Grok is saying that the crematories at Auschwitz’s were conceived as disinfectant chambers, not mass execution and that the law has made it taboo to acknowledge that this is what they were X is a Nazi site. Get off the Nazi site.

It looks like Lindsey Halligan misled a grand jury, prosecutorial conduct equivalent to committing perjury, in order to manufacture an indictment against James Comey for… wait for it… perjury.

Damn this is so good @delong.social

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”
