thinking about the gould quote again

Every time you see BS from WaPo (or elsewhere) circulating is an opportunity to remind people to subscribe to @propublica.org or otherwise support awesome independent media. Countering the absurdity with positive action is better for the spirit.

Not a country music fan, but this is 🔥

Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.

Old dudes past retirement age getting disbarred is nice and all, but it took forever and the damage initiated has only continued to snowball. Meanwhile Flynn, J6ers pardoned, suing and getting payouts. Trump's lawyer is acting AG; Epstein files are MIA. Big firms rolled over. Law is dead in USA.

Mike does the hard work, puts in the time.

Is if just me hoping that somewhere there are some very smart lawyers running a massive extensive database of all the crimes that Trump and his cronies have committed, so once they’re gone, they can go after every single one of them they can’t pardon themselves for?

The bodycam footage of the Fairhope, AL penis arrest is pretty humorous (though good thing the brave lady wasnt hurt getting pulled down from behind). youtu.be/gqPSzYrSubc?...

Credit where credit is due. Congress is “doing something.”

I posted: "I keep expecting some comedian out there to recreate the Abbott & Costello baseball skit with the recurring line "5th place!". Manifesting..." ...and got the response post below. Winning! Um, I mean "Fifth place!"

Péter Magyar victory speech: "We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others." He may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.

Think Trump sent Vance to negotiate so he could fob off responsibility for this debacle? Now that it reeks of failure, Trump is no longer interested. Saddle the guy least supportive of it and dirty him up for having been right (in this one instance). www.threads.com/@aaron.rupar...

Even discussing preemptive pardons is contrary to the Presidential oath of office. It's a statement of intent to violate the Constitution and laws and suborning others to do the same.

Credit where credit is due: Congressional Democrats showed up during recess - they came back early - to introduce a war powers resolution. Republicans blocked it.

This is so well done. 👌

The story about the airman rescue sounds like BS: ~See attached article...; ~NOTE, the military just briefed last week on nuke extraction *in response to DJT request*; ~AND DJT fears a failure like Carter's mission to rescue hostages (he studied it). This was his chance to show only HE could do it.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

Never been more convinced this is what's happening. Snyder is right: a domestic upheaval and a coup. Massive ICE budget and build-up are part of the same plan. They rolled out the last coup in plain sight. People just refused to believe their own eyes cuz "can't happen here!" It can. It is.

Wait, and he's the SecGen of NATO? Trump, R party and NRA all fully compromised by Russia. What the f*ck was all that CIA/FBI counter-intelligence BS all about then? WTF are we even doing? Next we'll find out Jens is in the Epstein files with Jagland, Mette-Marit and Rod-Larsen.

What a different world it would be if he was not taken. May we carry his wisdom for eternity. 🖤🕊️

Handing out the Epstein files at CPAC. From @thegoodliars.bsky.social

This is a great article on a horrible policy and personal tragedy. Hopefully they win the case and TN is barred from continuing this practice. Shameful.

The number one rule for No Kings 3 tomorrow is DO NOT INTERACT WITH COUNTER PROTESTERS! Do not talk, do not argue, do not react to their words, their single-finger salute, or their rolling coal. DO NOT ENGAGE!!!! You safety team is ready to deal with any negative people.

The City Council just voted to effectively ban protests near schools and houses of worship. As Trump and ICE escalate their attacks on New Yorkers, we need to resist more, not less. I oppose the buffer zone bills, and will defend our right to protest against fascism.

I wonder how this impacts the appeal for Judge Dugan? If arrests were never supposed to be happening in the courtroom in the first place how could she have been obstructing anything?

Israel's Netanyahu called Trump days before the Iran strikes to discuss a high-risk war that Trump once campaigned against. The call has not been previously reported. Here's what happened: reut.rs/4bt56Qj

PillsburyProudBoy as a nickname for JD Vance just made my whole day. Pardon me while I go outside to skip down the sidewalk. @cailis.bsky.social is legend.

Tony Benn's "Don't arab women weep when their children die, doesn't bombing strengthen their resolve?" Is as relevant now as it was 25 years ago.

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:

ATTENTION NYC. NO KINGS Saturday March 28 2pm- starting at 7th Ave and Central Park South. Bring your family, friends, neighbors and clever signs. Spread the word, and see you out there. @riseandresist.bsky.social For non New Yorkers, find yours at nokings.org

What he says…

I really don’t want to hear about how Democrats are projected to take control of the House and Senate. We’ve been here before and look what happened. I want to hear people telling folks to get out and vote to make it happen.

Last spring, rename DoD to Dept of War. Last spring, bomb fishermen. Last month, slag rules of engagement. Last week, kill 170 schoolgirls. Next day, DARVO. Last night, pedo-post "it's an honor to kill Iranians". Today, Hegseth: "No quarter". War criminals. We must send them to the Hague.

I don't know, but I guess it bothers me some that the President of the United States posted on social media that it is his great honor to be killing people. 🤷‍♂️

We must be relentless in maintaining that every person has worth, and make that point extra firmly when we're told some group is an enemy. I'd prefer without the "God" aspect of the phrasing, but Warnock's message is absolutely on point! That's leadership.

Trust and believe if Dump would fake assassination attempts, putting Americans in arms way to get elected, surely he would fake a real attack on Americans to stay elected

Great to see. Why has this sort of fire felt so scarce previously?

As I posted when it first happened, I knew that US missiles struck the Minab school. Publicly available imagery and even Pentagon press announcements provided more than sufficient proof (despite Pentagon denials). Now, everyone is seeing the truth.

Coloradans et al should let Gov. Polis know their views on a pardon sought for Tina Peters, convicted and jailed for election interference. Gov is caving to Trump. Her Judge was scathing. This isn't the felon (unrepentant) or crime type that you pardon. www.dailycamera.com/2026/03/11/t...

Just your regularly scheduled share of this masterpiece by @tomgauld.bsky.social

"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." --Frederick Douglass So much wisdom from this man.

ONLY BECAUSE THEY GOT CAUGHT......... 👇

Exactly which staffer, you fucking Klansmen? Names or GTFO. Actually, GTFO anyway: we all know it was Trump and all the rest of you are racists, too.

⏰ Monday, Feb 16 • 1pm 📍 Trump Tower 725 5th Ave NYC Show us how you really feel about Trump and ICE! Flip that summbich the bird 🖕 All expressions welcome, as long as it’s nonviolent.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

BREAKING: Columbia students and faculty are blocking the road to demand Columbia become sanctuary campus. That means ending collaboration with ICE's kidnapping of students and workers.

It’s as if the entirety of the comments section became President.

DOJ text search function appears to be OCR of the redacted files (experts prob know this...) So, redactions and OCR errors will cause search misses. For example: www.justice.gov/epstein/file... Text search shows: "To: Jeffrey [email protected]]" cuz redaction box clips descenders.
