I mean, obviously.

The correct thing to do when DHS or ICE or any of these thugs makes a claim like this one -- the only thing to do, really -- is presume they are lying.

Because they always are.

They are state-sponsored Klan members, and should be treated accordingly.

Supreme Court to decide if states may ban attempts to โ€˜convertโ€™ gay and transgender youth | CNN Politics Matt Salmon remembers getting into a circle with the other teenagers in his group therapy session and shouting obscenities at a gay boy forced to stand in the middle.

The Supreme Court is poised to overturn 32 state bans on conversion therapy and explicitly legalize the abusive and torturous process.

They don't care how many LGBTQ people this traumatizes and kills.

This feels like evidence Trump's aides are deliberately gaslighting him, which is unfortunately very easy to do with dementia sufferers (Trump did it to his father) and which aides are using to seize control of the US military for their own purposes.

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

Himmler liked to recruit a certain type of person into the SS: losers. He looked for men who had achieved little on their own merits, but felt they'd been cheated in some way. Give such mediocrities power and a legal way to enact cruelty and they'll do anything for you. ICE is full of these people.

This is why the far-right in the US & Canada see it as an obstacle that has to be cleared in order to carry out their smash-and-grab of the political establishment. ๐Ÿ‘‡

MAGA can't expand its base โ€” and Christian music tells us why The songs from Charlie Kirk's memorial exposed a serious problem

That's part of why I wrote this. It's important to understand that MAGA is not "real" America.

On the contrary, the reason they're all so fucking bitter is they know most people aren't like them. And they resent that.

Hunter S Thompsonโ€™s death to be reviewed more than 20 years later The journalist and authorโ€™s wife requested โ€˜fresh lookโ€™ from Colorado FBI, after his death was ruled a suicide in 2005

Oof. I can't believe it's been twenty years.

Knowing the details, though, I'm not sure why a review is needed: sadly it was pretty clearly a suicide.

so I wake up to find that Hegseth summoned the entire brass to tell them we now protect and revere rapists and war criminals in the US military, followed by Trump holding a mini campaign rally and whining about lack of applause, and this is somehow basically the best case scenario

The Shameful Christian Idolatry and Fraudulent Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk As news of his shooting broke, the Jesus-washing of Charlie Kirkโ€™s life by Conservative Christians began almost immediately.

The invented martyrdom of Charlie Kirk is one of the greatest collective acts of blasphemy in the history of Christianity in America.

Ottawa-based artist retraces family's traditional 200-km migration route through Nunavut | CBC News Over the course of the 23-day journey, Gayle Uyagaqi Kabloona learned a lot about her familyโ€™s history. She also found the spot where her father was born on the land 76 years ago.

Opening the news is pretty fraught these days, but every once in a while something comes up that makes me feel good.

What a wonderful connection to the past and the land, and so great for her to experience it.

I hope I get a chance to see the videographer's art project once it's done.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesnโ€™t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal โ€œresourcesโ€ he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.
