You may not be paying attention to this story,

but a white police officer was caught on camera tampering with a witness and other evidence for the express purpose of framing LSU football player Kyren Lacy for a vehicular manslaughter he had NOTHING to do with.

Kyren took his own life in April.

Yes, very weird. 🤷🏼‍♂️

The way the right builds their "violent left" narrative is being hyperreactive to any action by anyone they perceive to be on the left and blasting it all over conservative media while systematically ignoring any violence by the far right. Mainstream media covers the former but barely the latter.

Harmeet Dhillon (DOJ) publicly targeted this judge on Twitter a couple weeks ago.

My work is looking horrible here, the farmers are cutting dead crops...but I got in 11 holes of golf after work today listening to Tigers win...then got a photo from my driveway.
60k a year isn't what it used to be. 😉

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

Happening right now on clay and buck.

I have to agree with Epstien best friend...he is definitely really good at making a country go to hell

More of our tax dollars getting golf ball treatment, dropping in the rough while he acts like he hit it there.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Alt text: Screenshot of a news excerpt. It reads: "On August 19, 2025, Nexstar announced its intent to acquire Tegna for $6.2 billion; the acquisition would give it 265 stations in total, serving 80% of U.S. television households. In an interview with CNBC, Sook stated that the purchase was a move to '[play] offense and defense to maintain a vital industry for America and a vital resource for information,' and place Nexstar 'on a level playing field with Big Tech' in a 'fragmented and rapidly evolving marketplace.' Sook stated that in the 35 markets where this would create duopolies, Nexstar planned to keep station operations 'autonomous.' The agreement comes ahead of a possible loosening of FCC ownership limits by the second Trump administration." The words “CNBC,” “Big Tech,” and “second Trump administration” are hyperlinked. There is a reference marker [127] at the end.

It's important to realize what precipitated this was Nexstar announcing they pulled showing Kimmel on their affiliates. They're currently waiting for the FCC to loosen restrictions to enable their massive merger. This was as much pay to play by a corporation as it was censorship.

I'm going to start a go fund me to have tonight's dinner sent doordash to the entire Right wing media, white house, and all those super angry white maga males who were moving ammo around hoping for civil war.

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

there is nothing more american than news of a political shooting being interrupted by news of a school shooting

I don't think this creepy Jeffrey Epstein cartoon is depicting him molesting girls at his Caribbean property. I think it is someplace else.

ICE is doubling down on jails, and county sheriffs are cashing in.

Butler County, OH alone hands over nearly half its 860 beds. This isn’t “public safety.” It’s a profit pipeline off human misery.

Tell a 100 men to draw a doodle of a woman's body, and 99 of them would draw way, way bigger tits. I'm crude, but you know I'm right.
That one man who would draw them like this? I bet you can find him standing exactly 100 feet from an elementary school.

Feds indict LGBTQ org lawyer over testimony in Alabama "judge-shopping" investigation In an indictment unsealed Monday, Lambda Legal counsel Carl Charles faces a felony charge of making a false declaration to the investigating judicial panel.

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

17 family members of notorious cartel leader enter U.S. in deal with Trump administration, Mexico says Ovidio Guzman Lopez is one of the brothers left running a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel after notorious capo "El Chapo" was imprisoned in the U.S.

As the Trump administration continues to harass Kilmar Abrego Garcia, I haven't forgotten about this:

It seems like nothing.

Now imagine millions of Americans did this.

So far there are many saying they are.
But we never know if what people say they’re going to do is what they’re really going to do. I don’t know if half the videos I see like this one are actually going to DC yet.

We wait.

National Guard patrolling our cities.

Masked men snatching people off the streets w/o due process.

Warrants on elected representatives for defending the Constitution.

Journalists muzzled for reporting the facts.

Judges attacked for upholding the law.

I think it’s cool that my city gets to be 1970s Belfast because an intern got his shit rocked by a teenage girl

From the weekend: The "English" email on which John Durham built his Hillary Clinton conspiracy conspiracy theory includes a Russian idiom. Russian spies have been laughing their ass off at him (and Kash Patel and John Ratcliffe) for years.
