Got a cab near the Department of Education. Hadn’t seen the Charlie Kirk banner before.

“.. risk insurers on Saturday submitted cancellation notices for policies covering ships moving through the key oil chokepoint, brokers told the FT, with prices set to rise as much as 50 per cent in the coming days.”

The "Male Striper Who Was Hit By a Car On The Way to the Bachelorette Party" sketch on SNL was fantastic.

they blew up a bunch of girls and called it "Operation Epic Fury." I can't say in public what I think should be done about this

so iran has been explicitly targeting US/israeli military assets, while the US and israel have been gleefully bombing schools full of kids and random civilian areas on purpose

huh.

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.

A photo of protesters, mostly students targeted by ICE and demanding more protections, who were arrested by New York police for engaging in civil disobedience outside Columbia University on Feb. 5, 2026, in New York City, overlaid with the headline, "Zohran Mamdani Kept Columbia Student in New York — Then Phoned With Trump to Secure Her Release."

New York billionaires who call themselves liberals and moderates are currently spending their time figuring out how to punish the people of New York City for electing Zohran, while doing absolutely nothing to stop the demented Nazi in the White House.

Pretty much everything my mum believed because she had completely uncontrolled "paranoid" schizophrenia is, for completely unrelated reasons, true (at least in the general sense). How the hell is anyone supposed to cope with that?

Case 1:25-cV-02942-TJK
Document 74
Filed 02/24/26 Page 1 of 17

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
L.G.M.L.., et al.,
Plaintiffs,
V.
Case No.: 25-cv-2942-TJK
KRISTI NOEM, et al.,
Defendants.
PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR AN ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
After a temporary restraining order narrowly thwarted the government's secret, middle-of-
the-night attempt to expel unaccompanied Guatemalan children from the United States over Labor
Day weekend, this Court certified a provisional class of certain Guatemalan children who are or
will be in the custody of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other Defendants and
enjoined Defendants from "transferring, repatriating, removing, or otherwise facilitating the transport" of class members from the United States. Defendants declined to appeal that injunction
and it remains in place while this matter proceeds to final judgment. But Plaintiffs have learned that Defendants are engaged in a practice that openly flouts the plain text of the Court's injunction
and the statutory protections guaranteed by the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act
(TVPRA). Specifically, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents are returning
unaccompanied children from noncontiguous countries, including class members, to their home
countries within 72 hours of entering government custody, typically before they can be transferred

NEW: Remember when the government rounded up dozens of unaccompanied children in the middle of the night and tried to summarily deport them?

A Trump-appointed judge entered an injunction barring their removal.

But lawyers for the children say the government is trying to circumvent that order.

[shouting to be heard over a pack of ICE officers beating Jimmy Kimmel with truncheons for calling Trump 'a doo-doo head'] my precious friends are being digitally drawn and quartered by the woke mob simply for closely associating with Jeffrey Epstein for 20 years

TN bill would allow death penalty for women who have an abortion SBC President Clint Pressley endorsed the effort saying it would “provide preborn children with equal protection of the laws.”

🚨TN bill would allow death penalty for women who have an abortion

I'm reading Nobody’s Girl & the Epstein Files.... Our Gov't wants to murder women for their bodily autonomy while allowing wealthy human traffickers, abusers & murders to run free... This isn't about "pro-life". It's about control.

Biohackers and wellness influencers are pushing nicotine as part of their ‘stacks’ As smoking rates fall in the U.S., startups and influencers are pushing the purported cognitive and health benefits of indulging in nicotine.

"Tech companies like Palantir now stock vending machines with nicotine pouches in the hopes of boosting their workers’ productivity."

"This is not who we are" is the retort to some of the most egregious actions of this administration. But ordinary Americans are collaborating eagerly with Trump and his ilk. This is EXACTLY who we are. Accountability demands we recognize this, write it down, keep the receipts.

Trump aides struggle with how to spend $500 billion more on military Some senior officials resisted the decision to approve the major military spending increase, people familiar with the matter say.

Reading this story—about how the Pentagon has been given so much extra money it's struggling to spend it all—while thinking about the formerly homeless tenants I've spoken with in recent weeks whose housing vouchers are being discontinued for "lack of funds."

Notable how the richest people are falling over themselves to buy media / social media for the express purpose of making them more bigoted, even if it means the elites losing money.

If the public was interested in bigotry, elites wouldn't need to do that, the market would reward bigotry.

Any Republican or Democrat who continues to support Palantir, takes money from them, or refuses to hold them accountable is not your friend and should not be supported.

sometimes georgie does this thing where she takes a single kibble out of her bowl, carries it into another room, drops it, examines it, eats it, and repeats and it lowkey seems like a diet plan she learned on daytime tv in the 90s
