“Now I’ve seen for myself what war is really about…how an African American boy from Charlotte and a white boy from Houston, decide they’d rather die together then abandon the other in the midst of battle”
- Joe Galloway after the battle of La Drang, 1965

i remember when i was listening to a podcast about watergate, being absolutely floored by how many of the same nightmare republicans were part of the george w. bush administration. anyway, we can't let that happen with miller. i can't have that guy off-and-on running shit for the rest of my life.

So I missed the lede of the piece and didn’t realize this was last month.

Which makes this far worse, bc there’s been a month for this to become such bigger news than it had been.

I know there’s a lot going on, but … still.

everything is terrible, but i did just get tickets to see @themountaingoats.bsky.social in salt lake in november, so that's neat

A different kind of self-deporting. I love the caption under the header image here: "Curtis Yarvin fears American democracy will survive Donald Trump."

The Constitution did not foresee the position of presidential chief of staff, so it’s hard to see what legitimate constraints could prevent Stephen Miller from becoming an all-powerful dictator.

Monstrous.

"federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

just buy a sports car you can’t afford, like a normal man

like you can literally just buy a fancy gym membership rather than ruin the American military

this pete dude is so fucking pathetic, man.

there’s no point to engaging these people, but the few times i have, asking for specifics, i have just gotten more ‘wow. you are really mentally ill. liberalism is a mental disorder 🤣🤣🤣’

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I see that Donald Trump took that whole "we need more civility in political rhetoric that does not encourage violence!" moment we all shared last month to heart.

“Too bad they are uneducated and ill-informed.”

Noem talks like every conservative who shows up in comments on local news stories

thank you brett kavanaugh!

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Honestly, this post could be about anything

I don't doubt that Trumpism will soon crumble and things will return to a seeming normal. But what worries me is whether we will again make the mistake of offering impunity to these degenerates because if so, we're just waiting around for fascism that sticks.

I love living in a city full of immigrants and tons and tons of people who are not at all like me and not like each other. It makes us all better and it makes our city better. I know I’m preaching to the choir by saying this on the lib app but I sometimes just get so overwhelmed by how special it is

“the democrats are inhuman demons who want to eat your children and must be defeated by any means necessary”—such seekers of peace

so happy to learn from the masters of peace and love in the republican party how to do the whole “turning down the violent rhetoric” thing

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Mae West blasting “Born to Run.”

Elizabeth Taylor reading “Twilight.”

Harry Belafonte counting down the days until the release of “Tears of the Kingdom.”

Jimmy Stewart playing Nintendo 64

Honestly I just can't stand how these people want to burn everything down and then pull the "How dare you?" card when called on it. Crybullies, all of them.

I am not a constitutional scholar but I am pretty sure “the president my personally levy taxes and choose what they fund” is not in fact what the founders intended

Stephen froze like a deer in the headlights and pretended to have connection issues because he unintentionally gave away the game plan.

“Plenary authority is complete, absolute power over a specific area or issue, with no significant limitations."

Show people this clip. This is an insane slip up.

megyn kelly situation here, but worse

"Are these the jack-booted thugs Rep. Tom Delay once warned us about?" is not a sentence I thought I would ever read from the conservative Houston Chronicle editorial board, but here we are archive.ph/EI6aI#select...

we are well past lucy with the football territory on reporting when musk projects will be released
