pro tip: innocent people don't work this hard to keep the files that prove their innocence a secret

Here’s a gift link (no paywall) to the article, “Catholic bishops condemn ‘indiscriminate mass deportation’ in rare statement”:

I like when you know they saw the post on twitter

I will NEVER forget the mocking of that reporter. NEVER!

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

Billboards outside US Southern Command urge troops not to 'break the law’ in Caribbean strikes “Don’t let them make you break the law,” reads a billboard along the road to U.S. Southern Command, one of several set up by veterans.

"The new billboards are designed to inform troops of legal resources … 'The [Southern Command] strikes … represent the most blatantly illegal act that this administration has had the military carry out.'"

Q: "What's your reaction to Jesus telling you that you must *give* to the poor, not take away from the poor?"

MIKE JOHNSON: "I don't know any of the details of that yet. I'm just hearing that for the first time so can't really comment."

Well, well, well...

omg!

"Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House...

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

This is insane.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

‘Who cares?’ About 7 million people, that’s who Media coverage of Saturday’s ‘No Kings’ protests included the New York Times’s shrug

"A more soporific set of headlines would be hard to write.”

That's what I told @sulliview.bsky.social about 2 stories that NYT put atop its Sunday front page, while it reduced No Kings coverage to 2 tiny photos below the fold and a story on Page 23. margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/who-cares-...

Wanna get my support for the addition to the White House? Call it the “ball-less room” and dedicate it to the house GOP and I’m in

🎯🎯

Republicans are scared AF about #NoKings Day -- calling it a "Hate America Rally" a bunch of "radical left terrorists" lol

So, let's be sure we show the communities we gather in that WE LOVE AMERICA and that's why we are taking it to the streets

Bring flags 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

‘We’re fighting for you!’ Podcaster Ben Meiselas on taking on the Maga media – and winning the ratings battle His channel, MeidasTouch, puts out 15 videos a day exposing Republican failings – and it is getting bigger audiences than Joe Rogan’s. Is this the champion the American left has been waiting for?

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

(He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

“This is a movement…This is an achievement of a whole society…I am just one person.”

The beautiful humility of Venezuelan pro-democracy leader, Maria Corina Machado, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

Miller has Fascist Hissy #3 today after another court ruling. This one from a judge appointed by radical left marxist Donald J Trump.

please dems....buy some time...find a screamer...an awesome speaker...and call out these fuc#ers! Only address the big topics like healthcare. dont make it a clusterfu#k...

More pointedly, the pope said, "Someone who says, I'm against abortion, but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says, I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

At this point, the U.S. judicial system isn’t just broken it’s auditioning to be America’s first-ever reality TV dictatorship. Popcorn, anyone?
