Gay Venezuelan stylist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Now a contractor for ICE, the officer was on a list of disgraced cops in Milwaukee. His report helped send a man to a notorious prison in El Salvador.

"But the credibility of Charles Cross Jr., who signed the report, was so bad, prosecutors flagged him on a list of police who had been accused of lying, breaking the law or acting in a way that erodes their credibility to testify in Milwaukee County." www.usatoday.com/story/news/i...

Donald Trump authorizes U.S. military to take control of land on southern border President Donald Trump issued a memorandum Friday giving the U.S. military jurisdiction over federal lands at the southern border.

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important:

He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

Powerful. Disgraceful that our own President is golfing at his club with the Saudis rather than meeting with the families who have lost their sons in the service of our country.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

I'm late to pick up on this fact, but the lawyer who famously argued that President Trump would be immune from criminal charges if he ordered Seal Team Six to kill a political opponent, John Sauer, is going to be our new Solicitor General.

I don't mean to brag, but I could do this sober

these terminations are good evidence that this is just wanton destruction by deranged ideologues. there is no rhyme or reason other than whatever makes sense to a bunch of zoomer nazis and their bosses and enablers

And now is the time when we see what companies REALLY gots women’s backs,,, the world is watching 👀

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

Go Garcia go!

An example of the reasons I’ve cancelled my home delivery subscription to the NYTimes after 42 years.

This is insane.

among the many crazy things about this statement is that “the diversity of america’s fighting force is how it has triumphed over its enemies” has been a part of american military propaganda since at least the civil war

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students.

This is how you refuse to comply.

Air Force reverses decision to pull course with Tuskegee Airmen following backlash The Tuskegee Airmen were the country’s first all-Black military airmen who fought during World War II.

UPDATE: The Air Force has reversed its decision to remove courses with videos relating to the legendary Tuskegee Airmen following backlash.

I remember when Michelle gave Barack a fist bump, and the media pretended to humor the "Is it a terrorist fist bump?" right-wing narrative.

Now, they're trying to convince us we didn't see the world's richest man give a Nazi salute.

Bishop confronts Trump during sermon at inaugural prayer service At a sermon preached to President Trump at Washington National Cathedral, Bishop Mariann Budde asked him to "have mercy" on people who are "scared," including LGBTQ children.

"Millions have put their trust in you. And as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now," said Budde
www.npr.org/2025/01/21/n...

I think what's really going on here is MAGA is going with the idea that Budde is a "false prophet." Note Trump calling her a hater, and GOPer calling for her deportation. Seems like a losing battle

When you *bring your church into the world of politics*

“I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared. There are gay, lesbian, transgender children, Democratic, Republican, independent families — some who fear for their lives." Bishop Budde is a national heroine. 💙

🚨NEW: Donald Trump has called Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde “nasty” and demand she apologize for her sermon yesterday at the National Cathedral that called for justice for the poor and marginalized.

REPOST if you stand with Bishop Budde against Donald Trump’s hatred!

It's not even so much that he attacked Bishop Budde

It's that this is probably the first time he attended a church service since he was a boy-and really, he only went because he had to

Yet not only does he completely fail to understand the message

He doesn't have the grace to simply let it go
