I can also confirm conversations in person, especially sailing, are very Captain Ron heavy. I won Captain Ron trivia in the Bahamas

Gulag is the moderate position

SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. @FOX9

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

Republicans are nazi rapist pedophile human traffickers and collaborators on Russian payroll.

Susan Collins loves nazi rapist pedophile human traffickers that work for Russia.

So does any Democrat that votes with them.

To hell with calling them weird, no more coddling. Call them for what they are

I read this, and I almost regret it. What do you even do with the knowledge that Epstein wanted and was trying to engineer societal breakdown via far right populism bc he thought it would benefit his sex trafficking business?

Knitters & Crocheters! If you have things you've made but don't wear and/or yarn you're looking to use up, consider sending them to Chicago mutual aid at @katmabu.bsky.social Kat Abughazaleh's office at 7016 N Clark St!

We don’t negotiate ludicrous or expensive contracts, we don’t make people pay to come on the show, and I have the final say on everything. It’s only possible because of the show’s financial structure.

With that in mind, it would rock if more people joined our Patreon!

Incrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear

A more somber review of Melania to juxtapose with the gut buster ep of @killthecomputer.com we just recorded that I’m posting later

You do it to build public pressure on other members of Congress to support it, which is the first step of achieving it. Avoiding mention of it and helping maintain the veneer of normal government functioning (when in reality we're in crisis) does the opposite

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

I’m sorry but what did libertarians think that the anonymous money laundering racism coin that you could only functionally use for illicit activity was doing other than this, exactly

YES

YYYEEEEESSSS

[upbeat zohran voice] I'm here at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, Germany, where 80 years ago some important progressive work started [smash cut] but hasn't ended. So here's what we're doing:

Nope!

It's pretty amazing to me the amount of shit that apparently you can Just Do as an NYC mayor. It makes basically every other American politician look like an incompetent loser.

What do you mean there was just a button that reversed wage theft? Why wasn't and isn't everyone hitting it all the time??

Whenever you see a story about how liberals aren't making their conservative peers feel welcome enough, this is who they're talking about.

Schumer: "I have many jobs as leader.. and one is to fight for aid to Israel — all the aid that Israel needs. I will continue to fight for it. «We delivered more security assistance to Israel, our ally, under my leadership than ever, ever before. We will keep doing that."

Doesn't seem like this should be his job

The priest at my church got beat up at an anti-ICE protest on the peninsula this week, and when he showed up for Mass today with a black eye all the church ladies swooned like they had seen a Backstreet Boy.

This is how Tom Homan reacts to losing a court case to free a medically fragile 5-year-old who was used as bait to lure his dad so they could be imprisoned in a measles factory. Fuck any de-escalation stories that come out.

this admin has impeccable comedic timing in the sense that everyone immediately does the worst possible thing they could do given their job title, e.g. that head of info security who put a bunch of classified files into web chatGPT, or the director of intelligence doing whatever this ends up being

The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

Two CBP Agents Identified in Alex Pretti Shooting The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raym...

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

And so, to work, comrades! Let us not lose precious time!

FBI official doesn't know where Wisconsin is, per Epstein release.

"I just googled because I really didnt know lol. Looks northwest of Chicago"

episode of @killthecomputer.com going up tonight we talked about the new epstein file release and caleb is getting creative editing my “death threats” against the pedophile elite

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.

Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.

With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.

Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

serial ephemera says: Thematically speaking, the most important thing Terry Pratchett taught me was the concept of militant decency. The idea that you can look at the world and its flaws and its injustices and its cruelties and get deeply, intensely angry, and that you can turn that into energy for doing the right thing and making the world a better place. He taught me that the anger itself is not the part I should be fighting. Nobody in my life ever said that before.

Popping out of the vehicle guns drawn and pointing them at a legal observer exercising her constitutional rights.

Everything about this is reckless, dangerous, the opposite of law & order and keeping anyone safe… how do people see this and not see masked secret police style terror on US streets
