Claim: The National Guard is being deployed to crack down on crime. False: The National Guard is being deployed to give Stephen Miller an erection.

Fact-Checking Trump On Crime theonion.com/fact-ch...

It’s stupidly absurd watching people scream “How can Trump embrace Putin like that don’t you know the ICC calls him a war criminal?” And then turn around and embrace Netanyahu, who the ICC calls a war criminal.😐

Those of us committed to actual justice reject both war criminals—as justice mandates.

Children. Injured children. Blocked from getting treatment and care here because a nutjob grifter who once got banned from Uber for harassing Muslim cab drivers is now arguably more powerful than the Secretary of State.

What authority gives other states the right to send their National Guard to DC? Is this because DC isn’t a state?

Just when I thought we couldn’t be any crueler, or any more complicit in this genocide …

They are redefining "doxxing" just like they redefined "porn" to legitimize banning protected free speech they don't like.

Western journalists are failing to stand up for their colleagues in Gaza | Mohamad Bazzi This hypocrisy of western media has been laid bare by Israel’s targeting of journalists since the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack

“Once Israeli leaders realized that they would face no consequences for killing one of the Arab world’s most prominent journalists, who also happened to be a US citizen, is it surprising they would later conclude that they could get away with killing many more?”

This.

Jeffries is going to need Mamdani more than Mamdani currently needs Jeffries. lol

Jeffries is an establishment Democrat. He will always work for the establishment. He is not a disrupter or innovator or individual thinker. Within that framework, his gutless behavior toward Mamdani or any progressive candidate makes a lot of sense.

“The two officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said some 30,000 of the 40,000 spaces would be devoted to Afrikaners, a largely Dutch-descended minority in South Africa that Trump has prioritized for resettlement.”

Gee something's really similar about all those mayors in that photo collage...

Is NPR trying to tell us something without having to say it out loud?

Just to say this plainly: what you're looking at here is a federal police force accountable only to the president rolling up to intimidate the governor of California as he announces his plan to counter a federal legislative coup out of Texas which will ensure their permanent presence in our streets

. @mayor.lacity.gov shows up to Little Tokyo and reacts to the 100 agent ICE/BP raid during @cagov.bsky.social ‘s press conference about redistricting.

"A 39% rise in wholesale fresh vegetable prices": take tariffs, add immigration raids all over southern and central California, and voilà.

Heckuva job, Donnie.

A CNN headline reads: "The latest fleeting TikTok beauty trend? Looking tired"

my moment has arrived

The new US State Department human rights report cites Germany as a human rights violator for banning Nazi speech on social media.

The same Germany where Nazis exterminated 6 million Jews.

And some wonder why some of us Jews call bullshit when Trump justifies his fascism as “fighting antisemitism.”

⚠️ DC is effectively no longer a sanctuary city:

DC police chief issues order allowing police to share information with ICE about subjects not in custody and to help ICE transport detainees.

This … is not new. And the mainstream media in those cities has often been a key part of that “conditioning.”

Fantasy stories have always been my comfort. I have lost many of those stories as comfort, through the actions of flawed creators. I cannot tell you the importance of @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social in filling that space in my 💗. There aren’t enough words to express how much it means to me.

Don’t mind me, I will just be like this until we return to Umora.

Well done, folks. This is the inevitable world that all the assholes just asking questions were leading us to. Hope you're proud of yourselves.

Weirdly this doesn't mention that the woman Trump put in charge of reviewing the Smithsonian is his Florida criminal defense attorney who didn't like some of the museum's exhibits when she visited after the inauguration so she convinced Trump to sign an executive order putting her in charge

I was so thrilled to see you finally on Dropout!!

The propagandists running the @DHSgov account are deliberately pushing thinly-veiled neo-Nazi material through the official communications channels of the U.S. government. Their goal is stirring outrage (to which they will express fake outrage) and signaling to their followers where they're going.

IMHO this is law enforcement and a violation of Posse Comitatus, full stop, no matter whether they carry out arrests or not.

With all respect, the Court will eventually overturn Obergefell. It may not be Kim Davis’s petition. But it will happen.

The conservatives will argue that there’s no history and tradition of same sex marriage. And they will rely on Glucksberg.

I have an article coming out tomorrow about this.
