WHAT

Every single win is a big deal, and we should celebrate and uplift them no matter how bleak things may feel. We need to realize how huge of a deal it is to win battles against fascists with such immense power.

Bless you and @mattgertz.bsky.social

The discovery that ICE began using Subarus shook me to my core. My culture is not a costume

This is amazing

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first.
2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts.
3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger.
4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover.
5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.
Sorry for yelling.
I’m excited.
I hope you read the audiobook!

This is flying under the radar:

Donald Trump FIRED the DOJ official in charge of suing Live Nation-Ticketmaster for monopolizing ticketing and hiking prices.

Then, their stock jumped.

If Trump's DOJ takes it easy on Ticketmaster, it'll be a slap in the face to every American.

OMG SHUT UP everyone already knew that but you wanted to breathlessly skeet out confirmation from a cabal
of liars. Did you, uh, happen to catch Obama’s words about aging out, you fossil

Another point for team "fuck you--make me."

I just want to say that everybody involved the skiers, officials commentators, and Nazgul himself did an excellent job. Nobody freaked out & nobody got hurt. Nazgul was very discreet with the sniffs, considering all of the sweaty skiers.

The Epstein-Johnny Depp-Justin Baldoni connection These men shared some of the same crisis publicists and PR strategies.

Publicists who represented Johnny Depp during his 2022 trial against Amber Heard charged Jeffrey Epstein five figures a month for representation during 2017, according to invoices in the Epstein Files. Their PR strategies for Epstein reflect the later MeToo backlash. spitfirenews.com/p/epstein-jo...

Shame on NYU Langone for ending gender-affirming care & kicking trans New Yorkers to the curb. It's a violation of their promise to treat all people equally, kindly, and respectfully — and a violation of NYC's human rights law as well. Bending the knee is bad; denying people care is even worse.

"iS tHeRe a tEcHnoLoGY tHe leFt Is eXcItEd aBoUt" yeah, renewable energy, mRNA vaccines. Lots of cool stuff like that! Probably not the one whose main promise was cutting payrolls

Olympic highlight in this house.

oh you think white people don't have culture? what about this sickly family of incestuous warlords from a book i didn't read?

I imagine it was extremely disturbing

I know people will ask: that's Avraham Yaakov Tarkieltaub who works for Newsmax and posts there under the name Jake Turx, because he has correctly evaluated how the Newsmax audience would react to a post by Avraham Yaakov Tarkieltaub

No, nope, absolutely not

Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets

People with guns proudly posing in front of the Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets

A bulletproof Emmett Till memorial. Riddled with bullet dents.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.

It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.
