There's a great many people on the left who've begun homeschooling because, you know, kids get shot in US schools pretty regularly. That aside, yeah, the "rebrand" is just rich assholes finding new ways to allienate their households from reality.

With RFK around we’re all likely to look like the right one at some point. So do you want to be ahead of the curve or enjoy the present?

SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. @FOX9

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

This was just me making this comparison yesterday, but today the Korean news is calling Minnesota "America's Gwangju" and have human rights lawyers explaining how America is now living through the dictatorship Korea once had.

YOU ARE NOT RESISTING β€” Austin Gragg Tough love post inbound… β€œRESIST!” is a common call from liberals and has been for the last decade. But let me tell you: if liberals had ACTUALLY been resisting during these last ten years, we wouldn...

You don't need to look at German history to draw parallels. Slavery happened here. But as a German American I'll tell you the parallels are real. And most of you, yes even the wokest of liberals, still aren't resisting like we are where we are. austingragg.com/newsletter/2... #fuckice

Imagine this in a trial.

Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing

Declaration filed in federal court:

"I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

β€œI was confused as to why the victim was on his side, because that is not standard practice when a victim has been shot. Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice.
Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be
counting his bullet wounds.”

I keep thinking β€œmy god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

I hope so. Americans must realize the systems of *this* β€œdemocracy” won’t save them. It’s up to the People at this point. That’s where the power is.

I want to point this out not necc because it's so clearly generated by LLM with light human editing, but because as my eyes skimmed over the classicly bland, milquetoast word salad, it reminded me of how critical having a unique voice is in this business. It's the one ownable thing we have.

Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading β€œDEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a β€œ60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with β€œWe’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”

Whatever will we do if billionaires start trying to figure out ways to avoid paying taxes, we should definitely not anger them so that they will continue their long track record of willingly paying their fair share

Remember how I said I have it written into my foreign-language contracts that my work has to be translated by an actual human? This shit is why.

Those book translations are gonna suck. They'll save money putting out books that are going to be painful to read. That's not a great long-term strategy.

We are living in a dystopian hellscape stop yucking other people's yums about inconsequential shit like music or movies. Maybe they need that happy moment to get through the day. Just. Let people feel good about something.
