Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

LAPD radio chatter about "protesters arming themselves with shields" and I will point out "arming" only applies to weapons, not PPE

“I’m one of the good guys keeping America safe,” I tell myself as I try to kidnap a six-year-old girl from an elementary school.

Same

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. prospect.org/justice/crie...

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling. Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.

Weeks after the May 16th tornado, billions in damage - still no FEMA on the ground here in St. Louis.

The Alameda County Sheriff claims a no-contact policy with ICE: "We are not sharing information.” But the sheriff received over $1 million in federal money last year, in exchange for sensitive info on undocumented people held at the jail. My latest @boltsmag.org boltsmag.org/alameda-coun...

The State never intentionally confronts a man’s sense, intellectual or moral, but only his body, his senses. It is not armed with superior wit or honesty, but with superior physical strength. I was not born to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion. Let us see who is the strongest. ~Thoreau

you feel like a big man, shooting an unarmed woman from behind? you fucking dickless cur. i hope you drown in your own piss.

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

I just gonna go ahead and say that putting active duty United States Marines on the streets of an American city is, in fact, heavy handed.

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

Imagine that. www.npr.org/2025/06/02/n...

What a photo. Paramount, California, U.S., June 7, 2025 @reuters.com

if you poke his belly he whooshes away like a popped balloon

This is the only meme you need.

This is why Trump's pardon sale is making my blood run cold. Even the handful of white-collar crimes that have been addressed with *jury trials* are being reverted to elite impunity.

holy shit

When he finally comes down off that ketamine high and realizes what he just threw away

This might be the absolute greatest reply we have ever received. Thank you, Cookie Monster 📕🍪💙

Incredibly fucked up, Nintendo.

The straightest thing you can do as a man is to think a lot about two other guys' balls.

😕 pretty much

tough day for Stephen Miller’s wife

KEEP THIS IN MIND www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... From November lol

Musk isn't going to pivot to the Dems you fuckin' dummies, he's going to claim he's going to primary Republicans and then probably do nothing. Don't mistake your cynicism for savvy.

Reporter: “What do you think the future of DOGE will be and who is exactly in charge?” Former DOGE staffer: “I have no idea…To be honest, even when I was there, it was unclear who was in charge.” #WITAOD

Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1961...

The best response to Abundance talk is a single tweet from Ruairi Wood, RIP brother.

i know no one cares about hypocrisy or shamelessness or anything anymore but these people really used to tell us they were scared of an armed govt being turned against americans, they made an entire career out of it

The MO legislature might just have the worst Republicans in the country: voting to overturn 2 measures passed directly by the people. 2 measures that went to be people to AVOID legislative obstruction. Direct democracy denied. #raygun www.raygunsite.com/collections/... bsky.app/profile/pipe...
