So ridiculous. (And so familiar)

ICE are shitbird thugs.

All we need is one reporter to ask the president about the rumors that the Cabinet is discussing invoking the 25th Amendment

Guessing it’s because Putin can get there without going over any other countries where he might be intercepted because of his ICC indictment. And being invited to the U.S. is a huge win for him.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reposts video of pastors saying women shouldn't vote Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth reposted the video profiling Christian Nationalist Pastor Doug Wilson, who opposes same-sex marriage.

📌It's amazing how little attention this is getting, when it's crystal clear these anti-American, fascist Republicans would prefer nobody ever voted again.
Pretend what the unrelenting backlash would have been had ANYBODY in the Biden administration posted this.

This is Ohio’s democracy in action.

On Aug. 9, thousands lined 8 miles of High Street, hand in hand — for Medicaid, immigrants, truth, and justice. Against corruption, cruelty, and lies.

Ohio doesn’t sit down.
We link up.
We fight back.
And we’re just getting started.

Mark Kelly: "I hope we got something out of this. Putin is a war criminal. This is not a show of strength to allow him to fly into the United States to land here to negotiate with our president."

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?

ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles

“there are a dozen or so trans kids playing high school sports, this is not an issue that affects you and its time we start asking why the guy who has repeatedly bragged about being sexually attracted to children wants to look at your kids genitals” is an entirely true thing you can say!

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

"Agents stormed our restaurants in a show of force that went beyond anything reasonable or humane. They raided the heart of our business, tore through our spaces, and left behind a trail of fear, confusion, destruction. Our kitchens were flipped. Our walk-ins emptied. Food trashed. Doors broken."

The really telling thing abt Trump is that NORMALLY, he'd look at a country that is as ripe for collapse as Russia and JUST bc he's pathological join in the destruction.

That he hasn't says something abt leverage Putin has over him.

The DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin said [...] in response to the report: “any claim that there are subprime conditions at ICE detention centers are false.”

They're so willing to blatantly lie, & those who want to believe their lies will. But the truth is becoming even harder to ignore..

Over the last 20 years, looking at all vaccines administered domestically, there have been 9,933 actual vaccine injuries out of roughly 6.5 billion vaccines administered. That’s just 0.015 percent of all vaccines that result in injuries over 20 years. An estimate 4.2 million lives have been saved.

Blustering, performative, sexually aggressive and frequently racist buffoonery has an open spot with Hulk Hogan dead. And then there's the mayoral race. The future lays there before Andrew Cuomo to be taken as he will, like a tipsy lobbyist.

A particularly gut wrenching excerpt from this article:

I happened upon a local rally for democracy in Cold Spring, NY. They’re out here at this intersection every Saturday morning. 50 patriotic folks out here today. Great stuff. #NoKings.👇

This makes me so mad...

NEW: Trump’s second term has been marked by the weaponization of the DOJ, with acting U.S. attorneys like Alina Habba leading the charge. Appointing loyalists to traditionally nonpartisan roles has led to an increasingly chaotic and norm-breaking DOJ.

WOW. This new Ari Kuschnir short about Donald Trump's White House ballroom is AMAZING.

Mike Johnson hit with new accusation showing ‘clear-cut violation’ of federal law House Speaker Mike Johnson has been accused of using campaign money to pay his rent in what the government watchdog group Campaign Legal Center described as a “clear-cut violation of federal campaign ...

Seems Mike Johnson has been using campaign funds to pay his rent in DC, which is a major legal no no.

Metaphorically pissing all over it.

The f*&%ing library.
