An actual birdhouse

This makes me want to check out TPS. Thanks for the insight. Stylistically he’s always interesting, but if there isn’t enough innocence and goodness somewhere in the film, like Moonrise Kingdom, the style can make the whole thing feel too mean and tragic

Mother! is actually an experiment to measure how much ppl are willing to be insulted in order to appear intellectual

I would love for national Democrats and specifically Democratic pollsters to answer the question “how do you think public opinion is formed?”

For those of you who grew up after 9/11, we got along just fine without a Department of Homeland Security for 212 years.

The DHS was formed to try to prevent future terror attacks — now, it is orchestrating them.

You should listen to this real quick. It's good for you

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

The choice to frame this rhetorically as a negotiation *with ICE and DHS* rather than, you know, a decision about their future made by their rightful superiors in the popularly elected legislature is, to me, incredibly grating.

This is one of those great “You’ll never guess what he’s replying to” posts

Danny McBride would be amazing at this. Conan O’Brien too

odd feature of our time in how many liberals and progressive are bog standard monogamous family types--Serwer, Bouie, Hayes, AOC, etc--and how many Traditional Family Values conservatives are fuckin drugged up perverts

AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.

the problem is that entire generation of dems and their younger disciples are all elitist pricks who think one of their main jobs is to discipline their base, NOT reflect that base's policy preferences. which is why we need to kick every last one of them out of office

Martinez ends her testimony with this:

"If there's not justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."

Is she doing anything with her considerable resources to help these women? Otherwise this seems pretty shamefully empty.

You could argue the same thing for NPR in what should be the biggest news story in the world

Leaving aside them not ever being fiscal hawks to begin with…why are ppl so terrified of excellent services that ARE worth the $? How has “you are on your own” become the commonly accepted default political opinion in this country? Seems literally antisocial, such that society ought to reject it

Big time redass guy, one of the most fun types of guys to remember

The new Epstein files production features numerous allegations made against Donald Trump and others.

🚨TONIGHT’S PROTEST IN MINNEAPOLIS IS INSANE:

CNN is STUNNED. Share this widely!

“I've covered many protests… I've not seen a crowd like this before.” It’s 8 degrees. “It is freezing, but nothing, nothing is stopping these people.”

This isn’t a rally. It’s a movement. @calltoactivism.bsky.social

Screenshot of an X post by Omar Jimenez (@OmarJim…, 7h) stating that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says he doesn’t have the names of the agents who shot Alex Pretti, adding: “I’ve been a lawyer for 36 years. I’ve never seen anything like this before.” Below is a CNN video thumbnail showing a split screen: on the left, an older man in a black cap and glasses labeled “Brown | Business Owner,” and on the right, Keith Ellison in a suit. A CNN “LIVE” bug appears in the corner.

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.

This is unconscionable. Evil.

But it happened in May 2023, when Biden was president.

So no, we don’t “reform immigration detention,” we destroy ICE, CBP, and DHS. We can’t reform this soul sickness.

Toughest congressperson in America rears back for a punch, and refuses to cut short townhall, after asshole sprays her with something.

I need everyone to see the video that radicalized me. The video I talked about in the Atlantic interview.

You’ll feel less confused if you admit to yourself that some people don’t care about the suffering of others, and some people like it.

We call for a deescalation of tensions from both sides, the murderers and the people being murdered

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis and put the child on a flight to a detention center in Texas, despite a court ordering her release: www.startribune.com/agents-detai...

Id love for media figures to ask national Dem leaders “how is public opinion formed?”
The assumption that polling ought to or even CAN dictate politics is 1) dangerous, 2) passive in the extreme, and 3) not genuine! Dems ignore polling they don’t like all the time.
