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.

Ok! Teach!

yo they hired Mamdani video guys. someone's doing some thinking somewhere

Oregon’s National Guard General: They’ll defend America and protect protesters.

That’s leadership we need more of. 🇺🇸

Sen. WHITEHOUSE: Did the FBI find photographs of Donald Trump with half-naked young women that were shown by Jeffrey Epstein, according to a witness?

Bondi: *silence*

Whitehouse: You don’t know anything about that?

lol it’s this guy

Sen. Kennedy with another set of probing questions about Epstein 👇

KENNEDY: Have you interviewed Secretary Lutnick?

BONDI: No senator

K: Do you plan to?

B: If he wants to talk to the FBI--

K: Don't you think you ought to talk to him after this interview? Maybe we ought to get Lutnick in here

Libs of Tiktok, Elon Musk, and Robbie Starbuck put everything they had into trying to push a boycott of Netflix over LGBTQ characters in their shows.

Netflix ignored them and the stock is back up. Turns out bots don't actually cancel accounts.

Sometimes, I don’t want to post the horrible things ICE Gestapo r doin cuz I feel Taco n his Cult want us 2 post it 2 scare Americans. So, I try to balance the posts w Taco Terror n the other side of what’s happening w protesters. #portland #iceout

COONS: How did you conclude that these strikes on boats in the open ocean are legal?

BONDI: I'm not going to discuss any legal advice that my department may or may not have issued

AI is the distillation of natural stupidity

Greta Thunberg has more courage & moral clarity than any world leader I have ever seen.

Bar none.

Period.

That tiny 22 year old is often accused of being annoying, but what she is, is unyielding to moral ambiguity. If it’s wrong, she says so until someone listens.

She deserves the Nobel Prize

These Supreme Court oral arguments on conversion therapy are going to be painful. No matter what is said, know that trying to force someone to be what they're not is psychological torture with measurable negative consequences, and anyone trying to defend such efforts is a bigoted monster.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

The answer would be a big “NO.” As a woman who has run 30 marathons, including the Portland in 2010, I would never go to a city if I thought it was dangerous. This administration wants you to believe Portland is a “war zone,” it is NOT.

Get it now?

WATCH — @whitehouse.senate.gov : “What became of the $50,000 in cash in that Cava bag? Did the FBI get it back from Homan?”

AG PAM BONDI: *LASHES OUT aggressively, avoids answering entirely* 🤷🏼‍♀️

Trump’s Own Tweet on Portland Backfires as Judge Deals Him Harsh Loss As a judge’s blunt ruling blocks Trump from deploying troops in Portland, Oregon’s Attorney General tells us in an interview that Trump’s lawless threats are working against him—and discusses what com...

Trump's tweet that Portland is "war ravaged" just backfired. A Trump-picked judge cited it in blocking National Guard deployment to Portland, declaring him "untethered from facts."

On the pod, Oregon AG Dan Rayfield illuminatingly explains the ruling and what's next:

This picture is from 1992 in LA and using it in this post and story shows terrible news judgment.

Journalist, podcast creator, and Punk Planet founder Dan Sinker's I HATE THOSE MASKED BASTARDS!: Terror, Truth, and the Editor Who Took on the Klan, a narrative account of crusading journalist George Dale, who faced off against a powerful, ascendant Klan movement in 1920s Indiana, and who serves as a model of journalistic integrity and defiance in the face of fascism, to Eric Kerl and Katy O'Donnell at Haymarket, at auction, by David Patterson at Stuart Krichevsky Agency (NA).

Yooooooooooooooooo.

Gonna do a book.

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

This is rampant lawlessness

The law says what it says, and Russ Vought doesn't get to unilaterally change that

crazy that one of the most storied institutions in american journalism is going to be run by two people with basically no experience to do it

Sam Altman’s AI empire will devour as much power as New York City and San Diego combined. Experts say it’s ‘scary’ | Fortune Andrew Chien told Fortune he’s been a computer scientist for 40 years but we’re close to “some seminal moments for how we think about AI and its impact on society.”

AI drives overshoot and accelerates collapse.

“It’s scary because … now [computing] could be 10% or 12% of the world’s power by 2030... They told us these data centers were going to be clean and green. But in the face of AI growth, I don’t think they can be.”

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

FBI director’s laughable challenge coins (?)

Look at this dumb baby shit. Pure pathetic insecurity in tchotchke form by people who should never hold any power over others. Also not a coin you doofuses!

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
