For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Fresh off the lie that China has no wind turbines (they have the most), Rep Tim Burchett blames Cloud Seeding for the Texas tragedy.

The common theme: running interference for the fossil fuel industry as a climate crisis he denies worsens and more people die. #BumblinBurchett

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a rancid bigot.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

“'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'

*More of this, please*"

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

$134 million that should be going to LA’s fire recovery.

Shameful.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

In case no one has noticed, we are in the midst of a civil war. Stay home at night and don’t give the fascists an opportunity to put bad actors in place like they did in BLM protests. Trump is itching to declare martial law. If things get violent, SIT DOWN! We WILL win, but we must be smart.

Adam Serwer on America's "new dark age" "They see this as a long-term investment in a more ignorant population reliant on sources of information they can control."

"What they want is for people to look at who's rich, who’s important & say, 'That’s just the way things are. That’s the way they're supposed to be.' They don’t want people looking back at the past & saying, “This is because of slavery or Jim Crow or because women were excluded from the workforce.'”

And the records will be fed into the Palatir Foundry database, vulnerable to hacking.

The Real Reason for the Trump-Musk Feud is Uglier than You Think Strip away the ego contest, and what you really see here is a competition about how screw over poor and working people more effectively.

If you strip away the egos and shitposting, the Trump-Musk feud is really an argument over how comprehensively to screw over poor and working people—over how best to make our society a meaner, crueler, less equal, more savage place.

New piece from me:
newrepublic.com/article/1962...

There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”

Since I speak fluent Trump, let me explain this. Trump announced his Golden Dome thing without checking with Canada. He can’t do it without Canada’s cooperation. Now Canada is using it as leverage in trade negotiations. So dumbass Trump is clowning to find a way to make it work.

Just horribly racist and 2nd grade school project level incompetence

The thing about Trump bashing Swift and Springsteen is Republicans are trying to cut Medicaid.

Don’t let them distract you.

The question isn’t whether a federal court can order the Salvadoran government to release Garcia; it can’t.

It’s whether the U.S. government has the ability to secure Garcia’s release. If so, then it can be ordered to do so, because then Garcia is in the “constructive” custody of the United States.

BREAKING - Trump abandons fallen soldiers, goes golfing instead

Trump was supposed to meet coffins of 4 fallen US soldiers who died in an accident in Lithuania — meeting them at Dover Air Force Base as presidents traditionally do

Instead he’s going to Florida — so he can golf

George HW Bush marveled at a new kind of grocery scanner in 1992 and was pilloried for being out of touch.

Trump — who’s repeatedly said you need to show photo ID buying food — now insists “groceries” is some obscure term he recovered from the distant past and we’ll just move right along.

This weekend! Join me & @robertpicardo.bsky.social for a chat to benefit the Hollywood Food Coalition. Please donate if you are able, especially in light of the devastating fires.

Many thanks to John Billingsley, @trekgeeks.com, @syfysistas.bsky.social & @trektivism.bsky.social for putting...

I’m not sure the Seattle Mariners really thought through having a yellow shirt as the giveaway at a game against the Oakland As. It looks like T-Mobile is filled with As fans.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

Roses are red
Violets are blue

Here’s the thing, fuckface — we knew you were going to try this shit, but you can’t “void” another president’s pardons.
The Constitution is extremely clear on this, you traitorous piece of shit.

Every word of this is a lie.

This should scare everyone. The Trump admin revoked Mahmoud’s legal status, kidnapped him, and is now holding him in an ICE detention facility without any due process.

Trump is an authoritarian, testing the limits to see how much he can get away with. He won’t stop here.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
