He just said it. 100% unironically and unmistakably.

“We took the freedom of speech away.”

In Which The Washington Post Goes Mad, Plus A brief rundown of interesting stuff, plus music.

I remain naive enough to be surprised when reporters at a major news outlet write egregiously stupid stuff of their own accord, and romantic enough to be delighted when writers elsewhere don't. Plus music! It's today's Bad Crow Review.

Huh. I thought it was the brain surgery and radiation that cured it. Guess I shoulda held out a little longer.

HAHAHA!!! Yeah, all the peoples love the Bibi man.

How does the writer bear witness in dark times? What can words do in the face of tyranny? Where is the place for the human imagination in a time of AI? What can we do with the ancient practices of art and philosophy?

He's out of his fucking mind. I'm sorry, but there's no other way to say it without using a slew of words. Also, notice how his left shoulder has dropped. I think he may have had a stroke of some magnitude.

The same kind of people who once hunted escaped slaves now wear ICE badges. History didn’t vanish, it rebranded.

She’s not homely. She’s a reasonably attractive 60 year old woman. With lots of baggage.

I hope to see her at The Hague.

She looks okay for 60, which she will be in a few weeks.

Imagine that you have seen the files, including pictures of certain people with underage girls. You have been threatened with unimaginable harm were you to ever speak about it under any circumstances. How do you think you’d be holding up?

Israel is our greatest grifter:

A new report from Brown University finds that America has spent $33 billion on Israel in the last 2 years.

That’s $45 million dollars EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

A family of 4 in Israel is receiving $577/month in subsidies, courtesy of the American taxpayer, for 2 years

Great chart right here:

Heather is the real deal. Thank you for posting that.

Trump would like to know how young a woman we talkin’ about.

Ew. Eeeeeewww.

Johnson: Miss Grijalva has not yet had a scheduled date because she was elected after the house was out of session,

Gallego: You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge.

Johnson: You guys are experts at red herrings.

Gallego: This is an excuse

Apparently he quit antifa in order to join the Mexican mafia.

Children, apparently. ICE zip tied a bunch of them, after dragging them outside- and away from their parents- in the middle of the night in Chicago.

This. Right here ⬇️

BEHN: “Feed kids. Fix roads. And fund hospitals. Instead of handing out corporate tax breaks.”

TN-07 Democratic nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social puts her people-first priorities front and center in a high-energy victory speech

What I see is a year ago they called Dems weak, whiny, woke snowflakes, and now are calling them aggressive,dangerous insurrectionists
Watching the propaganda, twist and unfold

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

Gov. Wes Moore: "Trump yesterday threatened to withhold back pay for our federal workers. I want to be clear, those comments are reckless, those comments are  irresponsible, and importantly, those comments are illegal. To our federal workers, I'm sorry."

Chaos, Confusion, and Conspiracies: Inside a Facebook Group for RFK Jr.’s Autism ‘Cure’ A Facebook group set up to share information about leucovorin has been spammed by affiliate links and supplement companies trying to shame parents of autistic kids.

This gross incompetence is worse than one could have imagined, and will get folks killed.

Blood is on yer hands GOP, and you seem to delight in it.

We will overcome. #Resist ✊🏽

Have to wonder if he feels the same about those who attacked police on January 6, 2021. 🤷‍♀️

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction
