Homan has changed nothing

The Trump regime's position seems to be that Republicans have the right to bear arms and everyone else has the right to get shot by them.

that’s a no.

Video Analysis of ICE Shooting Sheds Light on Contested Moments

Important work here from the NYT. Ross wasn’t run over. He dropped his cell phone, which he had shifted to his left hand to draw his weapon. And then he shot and killed a person with the gun in his right hand.

Trump Lays Out a Vision of Power Restrained Only by ‘My Own Morality’

Asked if there any limits on his global powers, Trump tells @nytimes.com "Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” He adds, “I don’t need international law.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

"Moderator: What do you think of Adolf Hitler? Ashley: I think he was a great leader, to be honest. I think what he was going for was terrible, but I think he showed very strong leadership values. Andrew: I’m in favor of a strong executive. I think we should have a stronger executive branch. I don’t think we should be killing people or doing mass genocide, obviously, but I do think we should have a strong executive. I feel like one of the biggest problems Trump is running into right now is all these little courts, they want to throw up little blockages against everything he’s trying to do, whether it be his tariffs or deporting people. So I’m very pro-strong executive, strong leader, strong man. I support national sovereignty, and Hitler was a nationalist. He was like, we have to take Germany back for Germans. And I feel like we should do that in America. We should take America back for our native population. So, I’m not an expert on Hitler by any means, but as far as nationalism is concerned, I’m all that. Brice: I myself am actually Jewish, ancestrally. I’m Christian by faith, but Jewish by blood. I’ve actually read Mein Kampf. The end conclusions that he came to: absolutely abominable. But I strangely understood where he was coming from as far as wanting to improve the national state of Germany."

Tell me again about how Zohran Mamdani is the big threat to Jewish thriving in the US today.

Wow.

‘Northern Exposure’ actor gave ICE agents in Redmond her tribal ID. They called it ‘fake,’ she says Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

Trump Administration Halts Harvard’s Ability to Enroll International Students

The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death. Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated. This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda! Therefore, I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands. WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN! O ReTruths 5 Likes 5/4/25, 4:18 https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/114452117143235155

Trump says movies produced outside the U.S. are a national security threat. So he’s imposing a 100% tariff on all movies that are “produced in foreign lands.”

"Antisemitism" and Antisemitism The abuse of the word and the spread of the phenomenon

Fascism places emotion over reason. Words become just tools to achieve the vision of the Leader. In our post-truth world, this takes the special form of the inversion of meaning: fascists call other people "fascists" and antisemites call other people "antisemites"

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’

Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

Tulare County water managers were perplexed and frustrated, noting both physical and legal barriers that make it virtually impossible for Tulare County river water to be used for southern California fires. First, it would have to be pumped at great expense across the San Joaquin Valley to get to the California Aqueduct and then travel hundreds of miles south. Second, this isn't "loose" water free for the taking. "Every drop belongs to someone," said Kaweah River Watermaster Victor Hernandez. "The reservoir may belong to the federal government, but the water is ours. If someone's playing political games with this water, it's wrong." It was no game on Thursday when area water managers were given about an hour's notice that the Army Corps planned to release water up to "channel capacity," the top amount rivers can handle, immediately. The Army Corps later agreed to more measured releases, alleviating a mad scramble to alert first responders and have crews on standby in case river banks were breached and levees overtopped, as happened during the 2023 floods.

It’s hard to convey how bafflingly stupid this is, but the article makes an admirable effort.
