A screenshot of a social post with black header reading PatriotTakes. The post says a man at a golf club used a US flag as a drape for art, then wadded it and put it on a chair while the club owner said nothing. Below, a video frame shows an ornate lobby with marble floors and tall windows. A man in a red cap faces several men; one holds a bunched US flag. A globe on a stand is in front. A large blue covered display sits on an easel to the left.

Trump deploying ICE and then the national guard to attack US citizens to cover up stories about his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein isn't the first time he's pulled this move.

June, 2020 vs June 2025.

This is a (tragically necessary) sequel to a piece I did in 2017 called FILF (Fascism in Larval Form). The metamorphosis is complete, the slug crawls, sputters, empties its bowels and lifts its bulk aloft.
Scanner clipped the left wing, oh well.

San Diego. Minneapolis. The urgency is showing and I’ve never been this confident that the people will win. I’ve never been this proud to be an American. From the bottom-up is how we fix this. We walk in fear but we walk together. Thank you. We have a role to play where we can. We all get to choose.

Now they’re using tear gas & stun grenades on the crowds that witness their cowardly β€œraids.” They’re shit-scared. This is gonna lead to bystander deaths.

Look at these zilches in their Judge Dredd cosplay. This is the happiest moment of their miserable, forgettable lives.

I went to college in this city. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever that these officers need to be geared up like this. It is a pure intimidation tactic.

Good morning to everyone but the most corrupt president to ever exist, who is at this moment selling out his nation to the funders of terrorism so his boy can sign another $2 billion deal. Oh and Tom Holman

UVA Tried To Shut Down Its Historical Tours Discussing Slavery. These Students Resisted. A conservative alumni group took issue with the discussion of difficult parts of UVA’s history.

While the university has ended the group's special status designation, with the support of the student body, student guides are doubling down on their commitment to share their campus’ history.

ICE Director Todd Lyons said he "took it personally" when the kid posted ICE agents' names, photos, & locations across SoCal. The kid was previously arrested at a UC Irvine pro-Palestine anti-genocide protest. At the time of the raid, the kid wasn't even home, so they just terrorized his parents.

In the last few days, the president fell asleep at the pope’s funeral, said he wasn’t making decisions in the White House and fell for an obvious photoshop.

Cool. Cool cool cool.

Effective Corporate Tax Rates

1950: 50%
2025: 13%

Top Marginal Tax Rates

1950: 91%
2025: 37%

If you’re curious as to why the rich have so much and you have so little, these are good places to start.

I used The Caretaker's music for a lot of the Impossible Landscapes campaign. It was a perfect fit.
I first learned about the albums through @rosspayton.bsky.social and @nightclerkradio.bsky.social.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

We’re fighting antisemitism on college campuses. That’s why we pulled Holocaust history from the library of the Naval Academy but left two copies of Mein Kampf.
