"pro-vaccine groups" NYT editors are the fucking enemy

This is the SBC youth pastor molester crisis. They have no credible opinion about marriage.

Everything that yoy see is a lie. Trump is curating enthusiasm. It’s all a show for his ego and to give the appearance that he has the support of people he doesnt! www.military.com/daily-news/2...

You can just feel the love

RIP Brian Wilson. Good Vibrations is his best and most magical but I’ve always had a soft spot for this one too. So innocent and yearning and not-so-secretly horny. With Sly Stone, sad to lose two absolute musical geniuses in a few days. What gifts they left us! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Vv_...

one big reason beltway journalists shouldn’t buy white house spin about los angeles is that the actual public opinion info we have doesn’t suggest the president has a winning hand here

MAGA flying the flag of a country they want to go back to

These stats were flipped just a month ago and we were basically told that support for Trump's immigration policies was an immutable quality of the American populace not worth opposing

"Power, real power, rests on legitimacy and consent. A regime that has to deploy force at the first sign of dissent is a regime that does not actually believe it can wield power short of coercion and open threats of violence."

Canada’s military took on southern Kandahar province, which every single American I met in Afghanistan admitted was the toughest patch there was. One hundred and sixty-six Canadians died fighting a war provoked by an attack on U.S. soil, including my colleague Michelle Lang

Angus: Canada can no longer view the United States as an ally. We know that Donald Trump doesn’t believe in liberal democracy—he doesn’t believe in the rule of law. Prime Minister Carney is not welcoming the leader of the free world to Canada. He is welcoming Vladimir Putin’s sock puppet.

Oklahoma weather icon Gary England dies Tuesday at 85 A native of Seiling, Gary England retired in 2013 as the chief meteorologist for KWTV, after joining the OKC CBS-affiliated TV station since 1972. www.oklahoman.com/story/entert...

Rest in peace to the meteorological legend, Gary England, the Severe Weather God of Oklahoma, who passed away today at the age of 85 #WxSky

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Imagine spending your whole life cos-playing and fantasizing about fighting the federal government sending troops in against its own citizens only to root for the government when the moment finally arrives

This happened in Ron DeSantis’ Florida in 2024, yet MAGA claimed it happened in Los Angeles this week

“… Miller is familiar with and influenced by white nationalist websites, books, and talking points. His public rhetoric is angry, paranoid, violent, and conspiratorial. Characterizing him as a ‘world-class hater’ is dramatic and colorful. But it is not slander and it is not inaccurate.”

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Just imagine any Democrat saying this about any Republican-controlled area.

These fascist dipshits keep claiming there is all kinds of violence in Los Angeles right now. At this very moment, even! Weirdly, every single local channel is running regular programming, instead of this BREAKING NEWS EVENT. It's like ... it's like the dipshits are lying, or something. Weird.

You can’t trust a news agency that doesn’t have its reporters’ backs. You have to assume they’re meddling with coverage of the admin in other ways. ABC is toast.

The two universal pundit truths are that (1) you have a civic obligation to let random freaks hurl racism and abuse at you for the sake of "discourse" and (2) you must never be rude to pundits themselves because they are more important than you and don't have to put up with that.

President Trump stumbles while attempting to board Air Force One

For some reason, I was just thinking about how Trump’s former chief of staff tried to warn us right before the election that Trump was a fascist who wanted to rule us like a dictator … and the New York Times put that story on page A12

Perhaps Newsom should have spent less time chumming around with authoritarian buffoons on his podcast and more time preparing and strategizing for the entirely predicable thing that is happening in his state right now.

Given the news—both what we're seeing in the streets and Stephen Miller saying the anti-ICE protesters are engaging in an "insurrection"—let me re-up this article from last year about why the Insurrection Act is even more dangerous than you might think. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-insu...

If confirmed, this would represent a version of Charlottesville, but where government officials are the ones driving into protestors

This stuff really pisses off vets.

Probably his best post ever. Concise, good visuals.

Pam Bondi is thug scum. The Attorney General making these comments about a defendant in a federal criminal case is lawless. This administration’s unethical hacks continue to demonstrate that they want to be deposits.

So... according to Greenblatt, Elon doing the Nazi salute wasn't so bad. But students protesting... What a fucking disaster the ADL is. What a joke.

The MAGA civil war just hit the Alex Jones vs. Catturd phase. 🍿

Oklahoma sunset

In Brands news, Smithfield Foods welcomed their summer interns with a song called "Fuck Me Baby"

This is not a denial

This is the best day ever to be in a group chat with people who aren’t online. They react to every piece of breaking news about the beef like you’re Paul Revere.

What a great, _great_ day to be someone who doesn't own any Tesla stock. Possibly a great week or month.

Important questions are being asked.

This is a good point, and I need to think about the fallout from these two pissy babies tantruming at each other. It's funny, certainly, but the ramifications could be very serious for a lot of reasons. Those faces are getting eaten by leopards pretty voraciously right now.

I never, ever want to hear again that women are too emotional to be leaders.

If you had told me the bitchiest moment of Pride Month would be this...

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Elon Musk, amid a quickly escalating feud with President Trump, announces SpaceX will immediately begin decommissioning Dragon spacecraft, imperiling the administration's ability to shuttle astronauts and cargo back between the ISS and Earth.
