King’s point is that it didn’t work because Trump was cutting SNAP benefits. But lower courts had required Trump to pay full SNAP, and while Trump *probably* would have won at SCOTUS, that outcome wasn’t guaranteed and would have been known soon anyway.

This reminds me of his pitch for Trump’s miracle cure “signature” vitamin supplements in 2009, which were available for a bargain price if you signed up for a membership with the Trump Network and submitted a urine test because they customized them to your needs. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump literally says "shhhhhhhh" after Laura Ingraham notes that the cost of beef, coffee, and auto repairs have gone up.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

Wow: Per Hamdi's legal team, his only charge was a visa overstay — after Trump revoked his visa.

Despite DHS tweeting that Hamdi supported terrorism, they never charged him with any criminality.

In other words: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.

screenshot of a Facebook memory labeled “Memories You May Have Missed” — Elisabeth Epps • November 10, 2011 at 2:23 PM • Denver • Quote-of-the-Week: "I don't know what occurred during deliberations; but although you apparently convinced a jury, Ms. Epps, you most certainly did not convince me." -The Judge. (re: Not Guilty verdict returned by jury after only 9-minutes)

14 year anniversary of that time I won NFG at jury trial, securing acquittal in 9 minutes, and the judge proceeded to criticize me on the record.

for years I saw it as kinda funny. as I’ve matured, I see that old yt man made sure to publicly try and put me—a [then young] Black woman—in my place.

Two months ago we were paying all federal workers, SNAP benefits were fully funded, and people could afford their health insurance premiums but a small group of Democratic senators have Stockholm Syndrome and are telling us we have to Sophie’s choice one or two of these things.

Apple Pulls China’s Top Gay Dating Apps After Government Order The removal of Blued and Finka marks another setback for China’s marginalized LGBTQ+ community.

These companies already pulled ICE tracking apps in the US. I don't have high hopes if the Trump admin demands it, they won't also pull LGBTQ apps from their app stores.

Make this man Secretary of Manliness in the Trump Admin!

You didn't get a vote. You got a "promise" of a vote. From a party who is disappearing nannies & gardeners and zip-tying children. A party who has flushed Due Process in America down the toilet. Who has subjugated its Congressional duties to an autocrat. That's what everybody sees, Tim.

UP NEXT: Trump claims to have no idea who Rudy Giuliani is or anything about why he pardoned him.

Sunday: Trump applauds the resignation of Beeb execs bc Panorama truthfully said that Trump encouraged rioters.

Monday: Trump pardons over 50 of his co-conspirators and enablers in attempting to steal the 2020 election.

You do realize none of us believe those specific 8 did this on their own, right? We know that this was orchestrated and either you approved or were powerless to stop it. Either way we need new leadership

and this is what needs to change if anything is going to change

WITH A GRIN, BY THE WAY

GOP Chair, Tarrant County, Texas (Fort Worth).

Now the Dutch—even the very rightwing Dutch—are tasking themselves with preserving US history our own American fascists want o erase.

My husband was told by a coworker that he was "being gay" by listening to me when I was having mental health issues.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Security Guard has a patch from something that seems sus. So I look it up.

A fitness and exercise brand founded by retired SWAT officers, marketed to "patriots," called "Iron Infidel" spelled out in faux-futhark runes over a cammo American flag.

I can only imagine the comments on their promo vids.

This is yet another small sign of how grim things are rn, but I could be wrong but… I do not think the first trump admin at all abided by the back-up your texts including with reporters rule

‘I was the only out queer guy in rock’: Faith No More’s Roddy Bottum The keyboard player on his heroin overdose, how Kurt Cobain wanted to be gay and why his memoir will ruin his Christian relatives’ Thanksgiving dinner

"With Trump in power, my truth needs to be shouted loud, to combat the racism, the anti-trans and homophobic mindsets.” He pauses. “I want to be provocative. I have relatives who are Christian people, and it’s absolutely my intention to ruin their Thanksgiving dinner with this book."

The same guy who "doesn’t want to hear about affordability" posted about his new marble bathroom 7 times last week.

It was liberation theology priests in Latin America that let me let go of my anger at Christianity after my apostasy - that let me see that there were people who followed the example of the Christ I still respected, even if I did not call him God.

I'm always glad to see the tradition maintained.

I just started working at Lowe's, pretty happy with corporate level stuff but I was still shocked to see they had set up a food pantry for workers during the shutdown. Um, you're paying your people so little they need govt assistance while the CEOs compensation package last year was over $20m?

This is terrifying. AI making up quotes from a famous thinker who is an outspoken feminist. I doubt the same AI is making up Jordan Peterson quotes. Not that there is equivalence between the two.
