Temptation of St Anthony

ooh I had a boss insist I take these things... and I did, because... boss.

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

I sometimes will get the Washington Post and the Washington Times confused but now it doesn’t matter

Ok heads up San Diego- creepy little right wing fascist "wants to see the kids"

If ICE agents didn't wear masks, they would be FAMOUS for all the wrong reasons. So if you wanna see mass resignations, prevent them from wearing masks.

That said, abolishing ICE is the only way to truly prevent more violence, harm and murder.

Identified: the El Paso BORTAC crew rampaging through the Midwest One violent duo in particular, U.S. Border Patrol agents Michael Sveum (EZ-2) and Edgar Vazquez (EZ-17), have been frequently seen alongside former commander-at-large Greg Bovino terrorizing crowds wi...

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons.

We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team.

so a real job was too hard for him. the "podfather"... what a piece of crap his is.

Heads are going to explode 💥

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.
1/3

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

BRUTAL five-hour dentist appointment with a parking ticket for the finale. At least I have The Muppet Show to watch tonight.

The smug look of "stickin' it to the libs." I'm so sick of these ghouls.

Bingo.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

A screenshot from the credits for the 2026 The Muppet Show Special that show Zoot, a blue Muppet with sunglasses playing his saxophone. Over the image are credits for some of the additional puppeteers, including Michael Oosterom, who posted this image.

I had a hand in this. #TheMuppetShow

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

ohhh ‘democracy dies in darkness’ was aspirational

Gun control could have been sensible. Many just wanted school children to stop being massacred. But 2A enthusiasts instead chose the party threatening jail to anyone who legally carries when they say you can’t.

please watch:

i feel like we've had a good enough sample size for like two decades on whether or not body cameras on cops do anything whatsoever to stop them from killing people. the guy that murdered renee good was filming it on his phone for fun!

"We have nothing to hide," says Tom Homan, who is commanding a thug army that wears masks.

The shorter Tom Homan: If you say mean things to ICE and CBP agents, well, we may just have to kill you, and if we don't, we'll certainly beat you senseless. Of course, if you give me $50,000 in a CAVA bag, everything will be okay.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

‘ICE conveyor belt’ illegally detaining, moving Minnesota children to Texas faster than courts can respond ICE is pulling Minnesota immigrant families with legal status out of their driveways, homes and school commutes and send

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

ICE is now claiming it can arrest people without a warrant.

This comes after another internal memo asserting ICE agents can forcibly enter homes without a judicial warrant.

Hello? Democrats cannot let these blatantly unconstitutional actions continue. Not another penny for ICE.

A good thing happened today: Haitians in Springfield, Ohio and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnic cleansing operation. This happened because people came together — organizers, reporters, and those who care — and made it happen. Let’s take the win and continue the work.

The wait is almost over! The Muppet Show returns for one night only on Wed February 4th, on Disney+ and ABC!

All Democrats Backed Sanders Push to Repeal $75B for ICE to Undo Medicaid Cuts The extra $75 billion granted to ICE could instead prevent 700,000 people from losing health care, Sanders said.

Sen. Bernie Sanders introduced legislation on Friday to slash the entirety of the GOP’s massive ICE budget increase and funnel the money toward undoing Medicaid cuts.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."
