“War ravaged” is the new “woke”

A basic point, but the reason you go after flawed actors like Comey is to habituate people to the abuse of prosecutorial authority, so that when more serious figures are targeted the abuse of authority feels routine.

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

The Battle of Broadview

🚨Developing Story ICE detained Dr. Ian Roberts, Des Moines schools superintendent and ex-Olympian. District says no reason given. ICE cites a past deportation order with claims he had a loaded licensed gun and a knife from hunting. An educated Black leader, who’s next? apnews.com/article/iowa...

Highly normal. Nothing to see here, folks.

BOLDUAN: When I was asking you about Comey, you've twice now brought up the Epstein files and Tom Homan. Why? RASKIN: Because the DOJ is in full coverup mode

Even in his most fevered, drunken dreams, Richard Milhous Nixon couldn't possibly have even imagined doing a tenth of this shit.

This is one of my true loves.

ICE has erected a gate to keep protesters out. They are blocking a public street, despite the Broadview Fire Department ordering ICE to tear it down. Join us at 1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM. Tell Broadview to tear this fence down.

BREAKING: Sinclair FOLDS and ends its preemption of Jimmy Kimmel Live! The show will return tonight on Sinclair's ABC affiliates.

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

This is what they’ve been cultivating in our culture for decades. Zero tolerance policies remove the ability to defend yourself, schools are prisons with educators paid crumbs to be guards who teach propaganda, critical thinking is vilified, and questions are *at best* discouraged

Everyone be careful out in the world today. Cultists are going to be very disappointed about the non-rapture and may lash out.

Wait, did we survive the rapture? Or is it later today? Or did I get left behind... "taps mic" is this thing on 🥴

ICE agents held a 5-year-old autistic girl outside her Massachusetts home to pressure her father to surrender to authorities last week, according to the girl's family

Looking good sir

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

And you thought tariffs were fun when they boosted inflation.

Goebbles or Miller?

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

A bit of James Baldwin today: "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

I hope the majority realizes you can't win over the right wing with civility or the old ways. Doesn't work. Its a dangerous, violent, hypocritical cult without shame. They want power by any illegal means necessary. Choose your fighters accordingly. The current Dem leadership ain't it.

They are running this ad in blue cities in blue states. It’s propaganda intended to create an “internal opposition force”

"history is also going to remember the cowards who definitely knew better but still let things happen—whether it was for money, convenience, or just comfort. Use ... the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away: F**k you. Make me.”" www.pajiba.com/news/john-ol...

i think everyone needs to get a lot less religious

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

I don’t know whether I should laugh or cry, but this really pisses me off.

So unifying

If you canceled anything Disney, you made the right decision. And if you feel like you've lost some joy, remember there are plenty of books, music, and video games to bring you happiness. Start supporting small artists and creators. They'll appreciate you so much more than Disney ever would.

This story has been updated to reflect that these rumors are not true. So let’s make them real. See y’all Friday morning at 1930 Beach Street!

Just in case you haven’t heard it today… Fuck Ronald Reagan.

The hoods are off.

When Fox can't ignore it, you know it's bad.

Wanna know how to tell whoever is running the CDC has no clue what they're talking about? It's "correlate of protection," not "correlative protection." h/t @malar0ne.bsky.social In another era, this would be extremely embarrassing.

All this chaos, just to keep the Epstein files under wraps.

History rhymes a bit too well sometimes.

There goes the First Amendment.

I will as well.
