Remember, when news outlets first reported that Kash Patel was spending $75,000 of taxpayer money to fly an FBI Gulfstream jet to Milan so he could watch Olympic hockey, the official spokesasshole for the FBI had this to say:

The FBI Director, a hockey nut, flew the FBI jet to Italy to...uh...inspect security, prior to the Olympics and World Cup. So be grateful:

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

All the college and university "leaders" who chose to surrender in advance on this, take a bow

And then get in the fuckin sea

Between this and the story about the ice agents who ate at a Mexican restaurant and then arrested some of its workers when they were done, it's a reminder that these people reject even the most basic social agreements of hospitality and of helping others. They're sociopaths.

Mr. Douglass rose, and, taking the violin, played once more to the delight of the PRESS representative "The Star Spangled Banner, and the goodbye was exchanged, and thus closed the longest interview ever obtained with the "Sage of Cedar Hill."

How to end an interview:

In 1889, Frederick Douglass told a visitor to his DC home that any government that would "grant the right of suffrage and deny itself the power to protect that right is...a sham and a fraud."

Then he grabbed his violin and played the Star Spangled Banner.

I struggle with this a lot. We could have had Elizabeth Warren or Bernie. I wish we could have had them. But the primary voters chose Joe Biden. It wasn’t close. Until we have ranked choice voting, I am not sure progressive candidates will prevail with the current way voters make decisions.

Fuck ICE. Abolish ICE.

If these cowards leave it's because our fellow neighbors stood up to tyranny and defended their community members. This is not a political win, but a win of the people, by the people, for the people.

It is now us politicians' jobs to seek justice and restitution.

Republicans taking the snap after getting a stern letter from Schumer….

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

"A threat to anyone’s constitutional rights is a threat to us all. Today, immigrants are being detained without due process. Tomorrow, under the Government’s [view], American citizens could be subject to the same treatment. This Court will not allow such an unraveling of the Constitution."

halftime show

what a shot

"God Bless America" and then lists every country in the Americas. Bad Bunny crushed the Super Bowl.

Fuck ICE

The ‘You Don’t Have to Apologize for Being White Anymore’ guys have now made it against the law to use the word Black at college.

the most impactful thing Elon Musk has ever done or will ever do regarding science and innovation in this country is illegally cut billions of dollars of research funds for literally no reason

Ted Cruz whining about VA gerrymandering

The GOP is entering the “finding out” phase of gerrymandering. By the same metric, Dems got almost 40% of the vote in Utah and currently hold zero congressional seats due to gerrymandering

I am proud to be at an outlet that was early and loud covering militancy, Christian nationalism, and racism within the GOP. Those things have been there for decades and paved the way for Trump. Now, we are committed to seriously covering threats to our elections even as others might dismiss them.

Murray, originally from Newton, Iowa, participated in a cross-burning there when he was a teenager. Thought about that when I read this quote.

Are you questioning the premise of the Republican *moderates* 😳😳😳😂😂😂

This was inspiring. It really should be the clarion call for this year. We are honoring our founders with our resolve and resistance. Time to reclaim the Gadsden Flag from the racist tea party!

This is terrific.

Here's a snip - but you really need to read the whole thing.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Among the 300 layoffs was reporter Caroline O’Donovan, who covers tech companies and corporate accountability with a focus on Amazon.

The once prestigious newspaper is now fully at the mercy of billionaire owner (and Amazon founder) Jeff Bezos. trib.al/rlWOHyn

We are in the midst of another racial reckoning. This one purging all the gains of the former and then some.

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

As the @51st.news's first full-time reporter, I don't actually disagree with this. We're building something new one brick at a time, but at this point it's simply not a one-for-one replacement for what's being lost at the Post. (Please read and support us, though!)

Tell that to Alex Pretti and Renee Good’s family.

This is exactly how lynch mobs were once formed. Stoke fear in the community, point to a scapegoat and stir.
