The Platner apologists have clearly never played secret hitler.

“Trying these people under the law (which we’ve circumvented to condemn them to death) is not our job.”

“I am not a secret Nazi” is exactly the kind of unnecessarily equivocal statement you would expect from an American Nazi.

It pains me to see it, because Platner seemed like the real deal.

Would be unsurprised if they’re renting their own personal vehicles out to themselves, in light of the recent case involving the shooting of Marimar Martinez and subsequent evidence tampering of the involved ICE vehicle being a personal one driven back to Maine.

Russell Vought, Trump’s Shadow President From the wholesale gutting of federal agencies to the ongoing government shutdown, Russell Vought has drawn the road map for Trump’s second term. Vought has consolidated power to an extent that inside...

NEW: After Russ Vought experienced the chaotic failures of Trump’s first term, he made it his mission to ensure that a reelected Trump would not “lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.”

People complaining about a 2% tax bump on their million dollar+ New York City incomes should feel free to enjoy their money somewhere else (in the middle of a derelict soybean field, or 50 miles away from the nearest grocery store, for instance.)

On this day, remembering that Columbus was neither Italian, nor American, and was a despicable person, and that Fiorello LaGuardia was both Italian American and antifascist.

This is what those voter rolls were for.

Q: How does the order define anti-American? A: They can’t tell you. That would ruin the surprise.

This is a terrible loss. We just can’t have any nice things, can we?

I assume what’s going on with Adelita Grijalva is a preview of what we can expect after the midterms and presidential election.

A federal judge greenlit Holtec to dump 45,000 gallons of radioactive water from Indian Point into the Hudson, sparking outrage. New York officials and environmentalists warn this reckless move could undo decades of river restoration.

People seem convinced that there is a plan to reinstitute the draft and I think they should take a minute and think of how the entire country went batshit insane over being asked to wear little fabric masks in public for a while

So Trump is defunding the police.

The Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile title screen

A very big Onion announcement:

The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece.

It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile.

It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd.

Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

Straight-up supervillain shit.

Justice Eddins went even further in a concurrence joined by two other justices. He flamed the U.S. Supreme Court for choosing to "steamroll" the First Amendment's separation of church and state by mandating government support of religion. He wrote: The federal wall cracks. The Supreme Court's recent religious clause cases wreck the relationship between free exercise and non-establishment.... The Roberts Court casually dismisses the lessons of American and world history, the warnings of prominent early Americans, and the judiciary's storied legal minds. Bad things happen unless government and religion are completely separated. Justice Eddins also wrote about something you and I have been talking about for a long time, which is the conservative supermajority making up facts. He called out Kennedy v. Bremerton, the notorious "praying coach" case, writing: "As it often does, the Court repackaged and whitewashed facts to achieve a desired outcome." This is the same point that Sherrilyn Ifill has made on the show about how the record in that case, and so many others, is ignored.

I am pleased to report that Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins has dropped another total evisceration of the Supreme Court.

He says originalism is a fraud—and the Republican justices are shamelessly making up facts and history to impose radical Christian nationalism: slate.com/news-and-pol...

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative.

The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

They didn’t take those “drug runners” to court before blowing them up, did they?

A lot of people in the replies chuckling about how they couldn’t possibly take “antifa“ to court.

They’ve been summarily executing “terrorist drug runners“ (fishermen?) off the coast, guys.

After equipping this item, you may not remove it from your hand. You must gaze deeply into it with every action and be driven mad. Messages from the damned come to you in haunting whispers and chilling images. Every year, you must purchase the newest version.

My daughter has always used a tablet-based platform for standardized testing here in Idaho and most weeks they do some work on it, with monthly metrics testing and an annual exam. It sucks and we talk a lot as a family about standardized testing, but that's not what this is about. It's about AI.

This is among the most disgusting uses of technology humanity has ever created. We couldn’t stop at weapons of mass death; we needed to kill art itself too.

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.

After mismanaging the MTA for 10+ years as Governor, Andrew Cuomo would now like to mismanage it as Mayor.

It’s hard to see David Zipper’s piece in Slate criticizing Mamdani’s transportation policies as in good faith when it’s being published after the primary but before the general.

Mamdani’s free busses initiative is an implementation of a recommendation by one of Zippers own sources.

The thing about making progress in mass transit initiatives as a NYC Mayor is you have to get elected first.

Even if there are more cost effective ways to improve transit, you can’t do any of them if the one you run on isn’t popular enough.
