So...Are they calling the halftime show a genocide yet?

I love all the AI commercials telling viewers about shortcuts for life during the Olympics, a sporting event famously known for athletes who have put the hard work in for decades to get where they are.

Just perfect.

Sex testing ended in the 1990s because women athletes hated it.

The creator of the sex test they want to use also thinks it shouldn’t be used like this.

This is not about protecting women nor science. It is about appeasing the far right presence in world politics.

Reaction to Trump’s Racist Post Shows He Is Not Always Immune to Politics

Has he been immune to politics until now? No. He's been at -14% in the polls for months. His party has lost election after election in his second term. He's made most of the country hate him - again. But the media still thinks he's popular because his fans like him.

Trump Rages at Bad Bunnyβ€”and Accidentally Exposes a Big MAGA Weakness MAGA’s hatred of the Super Bowl halftime performer reflects a hubris about what parts of the culture are β€œtheirs.” But those assumptions are proving more wrong every day.

Trump is badly losing the war over ICE, not just on the streets, but also in the culture. As Bad Bunny shows, this has become a culture war unto itself. Trump-MAGA's initial hubris has been utterly deflated.

I've got fresh data illustrating the point. 1/

We are directly arming another ally that's committing genocide and destabilizing an important region.

Catherine O’Hara… she was great. I always liked her attitude. I hadn’t seen this in years and a fan shared it with me. May her memory be a blessing.

Craven speaking at the Skynews antisemitism Summit last year states if he was still a Vice Chancellor  he'd break hateful occupation or demonstration and engage police in prosecuting demonstrators, and impose disciplinary processes, and if that was legally challenged he would create new harsher disciplinary measures. Craven was handpicked by Combatting Antisemitism Czar, Jillian Segal, as the "independent" assessor to judge her, and now the Government's  University Report Card project.

The United States right now is like a wooden patio where you found some rot on one or two of the planks, and then you pulled those planks up to discover the whole thing has rotted and was about to collapse and must be completely rebuilt.

NSA detected phone call between foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump Whistleblower says that Tulsi Gabbard blocked agency from sharing report and delivered it to White House chief of staff

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people β€” derided as lunatic wine moms β€” were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

In which Jeffrey Epstein, who laundered money for the Russians, explains how Donald Trump was doing exactly the same thing, and how this accounts for most of his wealth.

I've written about the overarching post story, causes, underlying pattern. But the failure of Lewis or Bezos to even show up, literally or figuratively, on a day of devastating cuts epitomizes the profound lack of character and accountability that is so common place today within the American elite.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
