Kash Patel in 2023: β€œI’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

This reminds me of the time Mitch McConnell was confronted in Havana Rumba and someone threw his to-go box of food. And I'm here for it. More public humiliation of assholes, pls.

Jenifer Lewis' memoir, The Mother of Black Hollywood. Her story is so great, and her reading it adds an extra layer of fun to it

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

soooo my Chicagoans, has anyone else's neighborhood facebook group gone from desperately apolitical (regarding federal politics) to at least 40% about ICE/DHS activity and organizing against it? like it's hard to overstate this shift

the palpable hatred for ICE in every corner of the city is visible with very rudimentary graffiti and tags on every other block in chicago - it’s quite a thing of beauty to be this unified.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

I don't think it's possible to come up with a better metaphor for Trump's presidency than him cheerfully flying a plane that dumps literal shit on America

54,371 runners crossed our finish line on Sunday. Lots of smiles. Lots of tears. Lots of vomit. Proud to have this crew by my side for another year as Finish Line Manager of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. #chicagomarathon

Dr. Austin Bogina and I published a study analyzing the 3 US WMMs in 2022 and would love to expand it to other televised races, too. We surprisingly found women received more coverage in 2 of the 3, although it wasn't always race-focused coverage. journals.humankinetics.com/view/journal...

Congratulations to everyone running in the most beautiful urban marathon in America today! Hope and I crushed the 10 mile.

Yes, this is exactly what happened. No lies detected.

The Cat Drug Black Market Hyperfixed Β· Episode

I just this weekend listened to a podcast ep about FIP and the black market for the drugs used to treat it that was wild. It's a 3-part series, and they just released an interview with one of the group mods. open.spotify.com/episode/2ahj...

Very sad to lose Jay as a coworker/boss at Running USA, but as a friend I'm excited for him as he steps into this new position. USATF is getting one of the best out there.

"Alligator Alcatraz" is wrong and media should not use it. It's propaganda. Alcatraz held people convicted of crimes, particularly violent crimes.

The Florida camp holds people *not* convicted of any crime. If they had been, they'd be in prison elsewhere.

The site is a textbook concentration camp.

I love this so much but also it does weirdly look like Tim Robinson doing a bit.

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history
