Very unfair media is at work on my meeting with Putin. Constantly quoting fired losers and really dumb people like John Bolton, who just said that, even though the meeting is on American soil, “Putin has already won.” What’s that all about? We are winning on EVERYTHING. The Fake News is working overtime (No tax on overtime!). If I got Moscow and Leningrad free, as part of the deal with Russia, the Fake News would say that I made a bad deal! But now they’ve been caught. Look at all of the real news that’s coming out about their CORRUPTION. They are sick and dishonest people, who probably hate our Country. But it doesn’t matter because we are winning on everything!!! MAGA

Leningrad was renamed St. Petersburg in 1991

Bullshit harassment like this is a direct result of the assault on trans people and fear mongering around sexuality.

By order of the President of the United States the DC National Guard is encamped. You are required to report to the DC Armory NLT 0800 12 AUGUST 2025. Contact your first line leader for the packing. This involuntary order is from 11 AUG 2025 to 25 SEPTEMBER 2025. Individual orders are in process and will be retroactive to 11AUG25 with active duty pay, entitlements, benefits, travel reimbursement, & protections. Parking is authorized in DCA lots 9, 10 and 3. Reply with the following number: 1) Acknowledge 2) No longer in DCNG

NEW — I’ve learned members of the DC National Guard were told they were being activated via a mass text message sent with no warning this evening, less than 24 hours before they were expected to show up.

Here is the full text of the message, shared with me by a DCNG source:

Now That They’re Free, Venezuelan Men Want the World to Know What They Endured in CECOT Venezuelan men deported by the Trump administration say they endured months of physical and mental abuse inside a Salvadoran prison. Though happy to be home, they say the fact that they were released…

#ICYMI: We obtained internal data showing the Trump administration knew at least 197 of the men it sent to CECOT had not been convicted of crimes in the U.S.

Nearly half were whisked out of the U.S. while in the middle of their immigration cases, which should have protected them from deportation.

it's pretty frustrating how republicans can just spew endless lies about city life with zero repercussions but the moment a dem disparages a pickup truck it's open season

Three months ago …. In DC

We stopped expanding the House in the 1920s, decided the Supreme Court should freeze in the 1930s, added the last states in the 1950s, amended the Constitution only once in the last fifty years.

The USA and its government continued to grow, but almost all that growth came in the executive branch.

Strands needs an archive. @nytgames.bsky.social

Throwing a rock and then hiding their hand is the signature of these Republicans.

An orgy of the rich and powerful lauding each other and lavishing gifts upon each other. This is one of the signs of the apocalypse.

This really feels like a defining post of our time

U.S. plans to ease human rights criticism of El Salvador, Israel, Russia Leaked draft reports show the Trump administration is planning to eliminate or downplay accounts of prisoner abuse, corruption. LGBTQ discrimination and other claims.

Exclusive: The Trump administration intends to dramatically scale back human rights criticism of El Salvador, Israel and Russia, according to leaked drafts of the State Department’s annual human rights reports.

Brazil is so much better at this than us.

It will just need to be toppled and burned again.

There was Star Wars crap on? Damn, I missed it.

That’s a big cut. Big Pharma giving us meds and a check with each refill!

While someone explains to him what each country is, shows him what continent it is on, as he picks random numbers to tariff commodities and products essential to US businesses despite the fact that he has no idea what we get from where or how to replace it domestically.

And human decency, generosity, and compassion. And the food which the earth generously provides yet which we poorly and inequitably distribute.

THIS. Religion exists. In a diverse society public figures are allowed to have religious faith and even talk about it.

What they cannot do is govern or use their power to impose their faith on others.

Just so’s we’re all clear, almost 3/4 of everything we buy from Europe is now 15% more expensive.

Beautiful.

Folks...

Yesterday the Pew Research Center released a report based on the internet browsing activity of 900 U.S. adults which found that Google users who encounter an Al summary are less likely to click on links to other websites than use 's who don't encounter an Al summary. To be precise, only [my emphasis] 1 percent of users who encountered an Al summary clicked the link to the page Google is summarizing.

Hey is it bad if google AI search results stop people from leaving google dot com 99% of the time? All our news and information creators can survive just fine with one percent of their previous search traffic right? I’m sure it’s fine. www.404media.co/googles-ai-i...

Academic with history of incendiary remarks to lead US Institute of Peace Darren Beattie once said on X that “competent white men must be in charge.”

This racist Politico calls an “academic with a history of incendiary remarks” is such a heinous white nationalist that the first Trump administration fired him for being too much of a white nationalist. www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

While the Department of Justice is meeting in secret with Ghislaine Maxwell to coach her on testimony, it is hiding from us three discs containing court-authorized recordings of her phone calls. [Source: ABC News] That is the REAL evidence. And this is a cover-up.

"A Heritage to be proud of, a Homeland worth Defending. American Progress-John Gast"

So on top of the colonial expansion in the post's image, its text has
-14 words, a la *the* 14 words
-two capital Hs, a la *the* HH, &
-both H words are 8 letters long, a la *the* 14 88

Just unabashed Nazi posting

John Gast's "American Progress"--now on the official account of the Department of Homeland Security. Constitutionalism is more than text, especially in domains like expansion, dispossession, and borders (where there isn't much text)--it is also ideas about "nature," values, principles, and ideology.
