Four days ago, the President posted a video of the Obamas as apes.

Mainstream media has just moved on.

They always just move on.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests

- shelob will be the new point of contact

The mom who we all saw turning the wheel and trying to drive away was actually a domestic terrorist trying to run over a poor ICE agent, and now the nurse who we all saw coming to the aid of another ICE victim was actually a deranged shooter who had to be taken down.

Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: If there was ever a moment for libertarians and conservatives to step up and join the rest of us, we’re in it. Americans have to unite and stop this descent from a freedom-loving nation into the kind of place where masked, militarized government agents are sent to politically noncompliant areas to roam the streets, terrorize civilians, and deploy violence with impunity.

Text by Thomas Chatterton Williams, reading, "Anyone without a strange axe to grind (even that journeyman @jodyrosen.bsky.social ) knows there’s nothing remotely objectionable about advocating for basic decency in a country where Good’s murder is welcomed and Luigi Mangione is lionized."

Except, @chatterton.bsky.social, one of these two people is facing both state and federal charges, including the death penalty.

Whereas Jonathan Ross is being actively protected by an administration that started defaming Renee Good before her body was cold.

That is a meaningful difference!

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred.
It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

#NoKings Miami!

"This is very troubling".
The gloves are really coming off now...

We have a cabinet minister overseeing torture & abuse of people captured in international waters, prisoners held w/no food & water, 🇸🇪 embassy staff merely take notes (unclear if they lodged a protest w/Israel or not)...

And several EU govts still hesitate when it comes to the ICC arrest warrant?

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

This exchange says it all.

I'm curious what you think about Lil' Marco's statement saying the "US will respond" to the conviction...

Fascism moves fast - and it kills, too, like the man who died in Trump's jail without his heart medication.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you.

Ahah, confundi com o M.A.S.K., mas lembro-me destes também :)

RFK Jr in this hearing:

Susan Monarez ousted as CDC director after less than a month as other agency leaders resign Her departure coincided with the resignations of at least three top CDC officials. The list includes Dr. Debra Houry, the agency's deputy director; Dr. Daniel Jernigan, head of the agency's National C...

“When CDC Director Susan Monarez refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts, she chose protecting the public over serving a political agenda. For that, she has been targeted," her attorneys wrote.

The Holocaust Historian Defending Israel Against Charges of Genocide How the war in Gaza is dividing scholars of Nazi Germany.

I honestly do not understand why people may want to subject themselves to this.

"Unfortunately, we have found the IDF's willingness and ability to investigate itself in past incidents to rarely result in clarity and action, raising serious questions including whether Israel is deliberately targeting live feeds in order to suppress information."

Euphemism of the day:

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you”

Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

Fantástico. Há lá tempo para leituras... é preciso é empreender!

tem mesmo que ser?

I've yet to find this mythical Portugal these bozos keep going on about...

Oh ffs...

Só os cães é que iam ouvir...

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.
