Judge VanDyke's opinion was so offensive that 29 of the Ninth Circuit's senior and active judges, including a few Trump appointees, issued these rebukes:

Why is Phil Collins standing exactly like a low-tier goon that is about to get wiped out by the protagonist in either a mid-budget action movie or a yakuza game

There’s nothing more obnoxious than when people celebrate being an asshole or “just saying what everyone’s thinking”

Yeah, dude, most people have edgy thoughts, and learn to keep them inside. It’s called control. What you’re doing is like being really proud of constantly shitting yourself.

Yet another wildly illegal thing that was just completely normalized in the press & then ignored completely, along with all the other things:

In the 1920s, there was an enormous Klan-aligned caucus in the House of Representatives that passed an immigration restriction bill designed to keep out Catholics and Jews because they supposedly posed an existential threat to American civilization. 100 years later, here we are.

Six years ago, police burst into Breonna Taylor’s home in the middle of the night and took a life that should still be here today.

Justice delayed, accountability denied, and her name still carries the weight of a system that failed her.

We remember Breonna Taylor. #SayHerName

So if anybody -- state attorneys general, Democratic politicians, sentient beings -- doesn't understand why Paramount Skydance's takeover of Warner Bros./CNN is a huge problem, Pete Hegseth is here to explain it to you.

Stop the propaganda. Block this merger.

A table of F1's scheduled number of races versus the number that took place in the 2020s.

Year      Scheduled     Raced
2020     22                   17
2021      24                    22
2022     24                   22
2023     24                   22
2024     24                   24
2025     24                   24
2026     24                   22 (probably)

Y'know if F1 does cancel the Bahrain and Jeddah races, it's really just a continuation of how its efforts to run 24-race seasons seem to not work very well:

This is just the latest example I've seen, but it is really bleak how much political content on social media these days is being sponsored by dark money interest groups and how many content creators have been willing to take the cash and keep quiet about it.

No book is going to turn kids into someone else. But books will regularly show kids other people like them and show those kids they're not alone. And they'll show kids other types of people who also exist. There is a large proportion of the population who are terrified of this.

Trump Administration Opens the Door for ICE to Target Anyone Suspected of Being Trans Under a new rule, the State Department will be able to revoke trans people's visas over "misrepresentation." It'll give ICE grounds to suspect all trans people of being in the US illegally.

Every single person sitting quietly by while the fascist regime hunts marginalized groups - just remember how that worked out for people in the past.

I was only following orders/it doesn't affect me.

Do you think it will just stop here?

My favorite line from the season finale of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy: “Is this the person you want to follow into the future? An angry child with his finger on the trigger, whose entire worldview is based on a lie?“

Real talk: Progressives have completely failed to adequately address the significant impacts of Long COVID, and this has left an opening for the far right to exploit vulnerable patients and deceitfully blame vaccines for all chronic illnesses.

Just so that we are clear, Israel drops criminal charges on five Israeli soldiers who were caught on camera sexually assaulting a Palestinian detainee. But Israel will keep kids in prison for decades because they were throwing rocks? Make it make sense 🤦🏽‍♀️

A war starts elsewhere.

Immediately, if not sooner, prices for everything jump demonstrably for inexplicable reasons, other than GREED, given there is no way the inventory became more valuable overnight.

I will remind everyone that prices do not go back down.
