Karoline Leavitt on what she expected for today’s demonstrations: “Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, violent criminals.” Scott Bessent: “Most unhinged in the Democratic Party” Mike Johnson: “The pro-Hamas wing, the antifa people.” NYPD: More than 100,000 protesters; zero arrests.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

For God’s sake let us sit upon the ground And tell sad stories of the death of kings

🔥 @mehdirhasan.bsky.social : “The great irony is Trump is the son of an immigrant, grandson of an immigrant, married to an immigrant… in fact, 2 of his 3 wives were immigrants— proving yet again immigrants will do the jobs even Americans aren’t willing to do.” 😬🙃

Among George Santos’ many scams was a “pet charity” where he swindled people out of money who needed it for medical care for their pets. This is who Trump just pardoned www.nytimes.com/2023/02/09/n...

oh my god

Attorneys are taught that precedent is our foundation When we bring a case, this is our roadmap, and our bible-so if we stray from stare decisis, there’d better be an extraordinary reason why Then the MAGA Supreme Court started overturning bedrock rulings And now the rule of law is crumbling

Again, this is a liquidation of the union in all but letter of the law. This is reverse secessionism engineered by a central government.

we are not having a lot of luck with institutional pushback - everyone who does is fired and replaced we are definitely not having any luck with “norms” what we are having luck with is ordinary people looking at the incompetent bullshit put in front of them and going “absolutely not”

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Joe Rogan was never your friend, even if he said something sane about ICE raids. www.nj.com/politics/202...

“Deplorables” was a scandal for years and she wasn’t even in the government yet. This is the White House Press Secretary, whose salary is paid by the American public.

Media is awesome because it can show an organization trying to get rid a guy who is underwater with state Democrats by 50 points, undermines any Democratic policy, and is just completely off-putting to anyone who has to spend five minutes around him; and they phrase it as “seeding discord”

The alleged security breaches by John Bolton remind me of security breaches by another ex-government official who kept classified records in his bathroom and evaded justice with the help of a corrupt MAGA judge in Florida.

BREAKING: Doña Ana County Detention Center is conducting violent and unwarranted paramilitary training operations on incarcerated people. We're representing six clients who are suing to stop this inhumane practice.

Never seen a more cut-and-dry case of "privatized profit, socialized costs"

170 and counting reasons why Brett Kavanaugh can eat shit ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/brett...

"House slave." Think about this for a brief moment. Think of just how fecal and vicious a man has to use such a term in this context. This is leadership by the absolute worst of us, the most vile trash that we could scrape from the gutter and elevate to govern a nation.

Louisiana v. Callais, in one sentence: The only way to stop discrimination against Black voters is to stop discriminating against white voters in remedying the initial violation. This case is about appeasing white voters, and nothing else.

There's literally no reason for Congress to exist if any random freak in the presidential orbit can nullify laws and seize federal funds. All of this is plainly illegal, but Mike Johnson leads the most corrupt Congress in US history (and by a wide margin.)

Remember, brown 13-year-olds are hardened menaces to society, but 30-something Republican Hitler afficionados in positions of power are just li’l guys.

4 months apart

MacCALLUM: Margaret Thatcher said socialism is great until you run out of other people's money MAMDANI: Well, what Andrew Cuomo said is that if you have $957m you give it to Elon Musk in tax credits

Bari Weiss launched her own path to stardom with the argument "it is oppression to dislike me for being bad" and now we will get to see what an entire media ecosystem built with that philosophy looks like

Trumpflation

That’s crazy. I wonder what happened in January

Korol is a US citizen. Her family hasn’t heard from her since she was taken, public charges haven’t been released—what crime did she even commit? 2nd-Degree Woodwinding?—and there has been no explanation for her “renditioning” across state lines. We’ve moved into a new phase of Trump lawlessness.

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison. Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

a foundational belief of the modern right is that there is no such thing as organic disagreement with their policies, it’s all directed from the top down they just can’t conceive that ordinary people find them horrifying

bobby flay and gordon ramsay shows should be banned for very similar but not exactly similar reasons as true crime

wow is this grotesque

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois. We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

“The man with the most power has expended enormous energy targeting those with the least.” THIS THIS THIS. It’s all one fight. No one gets left behind. ❤️

They like what Trump is doing, this really isn't hard. It's not both-sideism, it's running cover for the regime by choice in order to reach a desired outcome. Can we please stop cutting this institution slack it does not deserve?

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…” Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

Wen should direct more attention to incidents like these because Americans are more likely to respond to brutality to pets than to brutality to human beings.

Cards Against Humanity Explains the Joke fan mail is pouring in.

"Weiss is a shameless opportunist and troll whose 'expertise' [...] has largely involved trolling everyone left of center for engagement clicks with culture war dogshit and dangerously shoddy reporting, then crying like a full-diapered toddler when people criticize her for being generally terrible."

I love when Andy Ngo does one of his David Attenborough-style posts about Antifa and highlights some kid who took a bong rip and waddled into the protest dressed like a giant muppet. My favorite flavor of his commentary by far.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Among the more obvious differences, this was about using the Alabama National Guard to enforce federal law *in Alabama*, where the state government was defying court orders. Note that even in that much more extreme context, Kennedy used the Alabama National Guard, not some other state's.

listen. when dolly parton’s sister says it’s time for us all to be prayer warriors for dolly. you fucking pray for dolly

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.
