Starting tomorrow, every major news organization will be publishing thinkpieces saying that Zohran Mamdani's victory isn't signficant, and even more crucially, that it couldn't happen in a city like yours.

They're wrong. It is important. And every city could have this.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Oh hell yeah! I’m so happy for you!

A tsunami wave hit the coast of Japan on July 30, 2025, causing a temporary surge in sea level. This footage, showing the immediate impact of the wave, was captured at Kuji Port, in Iwate Prefecture (northeastern region), around 1 PM.

Notice how no one ever forced Republicans to disavow the Proud Boys or their other white supremacist groupies, letting them rebrand Nazism as "alt-right"til the Overton window shifted so far people now openly support fascism by name, in part because the media never held anyone's feet to the fire.

Hey everyone,

Been quiet about this, but I had to give up my home of 13 years this week. Can’t go back to work until August & between moving expenses, medical bills & car repairs, I’m out of money. I need help to get by the next 2 months & be able to report.

ICE is currently detaining people in DTLA as LAPD protects them from a local crowd.

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

The Atlantic should be ashamed of publishing this nightmare piece from Liz Bruenig, whose callous dismissal of Adriana Smith's dignity is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

If we abolish the police, who will witness assassinations before allowing the murderer to leave?

Every Senator should and it shouldn’t even be a question

Incredibly chaotic scene here in downtown Los Angeles where LAPD have just charged protesters with horses while others fire munitions.

LAPD advancing on the crowd and firing less lethals for a minute straight. Watch the whole video. LAPD is unhinged right now.

Fuck the pigs!

LAPD officer and wannabe tough guy Zachary Adler is completely unhinged right now. He was putting his hands on people all night and now he’s walking up to people threatening to shoot point blank. Fuck these pigs.

LAPD shot him with a stun grenade made by Defense Technology LLC, a subsidiary of Cadre Holdings aka Safariland.

Cadre Holdings munitions are also used by the Israeli military against Palestinian children in the West Bank and Gaza.

Their CEO is multimillionaire Warren Kanders of Greenwich, CT.

“Marina” (who pepper-sprayed and drove at demonstrators) wants to be left alone and remain anonymous. Well thanks to her very public appearance on Lori’s show, we gathered all the information we needed to ID her.

On April 27, the group 805 Patriots convoyed MAGA trucks through West Hollywood. As a result of her appearance on failed CA assembly candidate Lori Mill’s podcast, we’ve been able to ID “Marina” who pepper sprayed an LGBTQIA2s+ activist and nearly ran over another demonstrator.

Your common police officer is uniquely unsmart, but your local police department is uniquely intelligent. & The call to pursue specific crackdowns, formations and field techniques are choices with predictable outcomes.

They know how to cause a riot & they know how to prevent one. These are choices.

When we say ‘police riot’, this perfectly encapsulates the message.

Law enforcement running in like a swarm, causing chaos, flipping things, chasing people, erratic.

Riots are seldom caused by natural features, and crowds are typically self regulating, with law enforcement actors as the exception.

Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ NEW: Homeland Security Investigations & U.S. Secret Service served a criminal search warrant in an upscale Irvine neighborhood this morning, targeting the suspect they believe was responsible for posting fliers w/ the names, photos, phone numbers, & locations of ICE agents in SoCal in February. The target wasn’t home, and an arrest wasn’t made. We are told he lives at home with his parents, and was previously arrested at UC Irvine during an on-campus Pro-Palestinian protest. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons was on scene for the operation, telling me he took it personally that someone would try to put a target on his agents in an effort to interfere with them and put them at risk. Says person responsible will be held accountable. We will not be identifying the target unless an arrest is made. PHOTOS: Underneath are four splashy media photos from the operation.

Picture of the flier, which has photos of four people, along with their names and phone numbers for some of them (which Fox News redacted), which a message in Spanish saying that these individuals are working in Southern California to carry out immigration arrests, accusing them of terrorizing local communities and kidnapping residents, and saying many people have died while in jails, prisons, and detention centers.

In a move that raises very serious First Amendment issues, ICE executed a major splashy operation in California aiming to arrest a guy for posting fliers with names, pictures, and apparent phone numbers for ICE HSI agents.

I am struggling to think what possible law posting that info could violate.

Two photos of neo-Nazi Jon Minadeo. One is a mugshot photoshopped in front of his home in Springfield, Missouri

And if you didn't see, we identified the new Springfield, Missouri headquarters of the Goyim Defense League.

No mainstream media has covered this, despite the move being well sourced and easy to corroborate.
