Back to the unsolicited rants about The Poor Oppressed Boers. Except try not to be quite so obvious.

NYT knows exactly what words it could get sued for by Trump's DOJ, and doesn't have the guts to say them anyway.

Does anyone else think it's curious that we've got LAPD protecting people from ICE? If we start to see big city police departments deciding they don't like ICE's attitude it would totally change the protest vibe. I'm probably dreaming, right? I know acab, but maybe it can cut both ways or something?

You know it's not even about the money, don't you? He doesn't care about workers. Workers don't matter. What set him off is Juneteenth being a Federal holiday. He dimly comprehends that it celebrates something good for the n____rs and he must therefore kill it. Zombie. All survival instinct.

It's really the only way to fix things. Also a Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

I feel like JD Vance would be really susceptible to flattery so maybe instead of bullying him, just lovebomb the shit out of him & every so often, like, mention you love science and vaccines and a government that doesn’t kidnap people off the street or start wars for no reason then MORE LOVE BOMBING

This is the answer to a question that has been quietly gnawing at me ever since I saw my first Cybertruck.

If money is speech, then speech isn't free. These are not my words, and I don't remember where or when I heard them or who said them, but boy have they stuck with me. Good bumper-sticker-sized explanation of Citizens United. I am surprised that it hasn't caught on.

Same message as before. Please do not create a situation that will end up on Fox and OAN et al. They are increasingly desperate to find or create some way to slow the pace of their losing in courts and in world and national public opinion. As predators, they know they can't appear to be weak.

First I have heard of this little facticle. If ICE actually arrested an NYPD cop I think that could change the dynamic a lot.

We've had the phrase "police riot" in our vocabulary since the 1968 Democratic Convention. I think reporters should use it more. It's clear and it tells the story that needs to be told.

Reposting mid-thread, the whole thread is good but this is a good next tactical goal and it needs to be done soon. Schumer and Jeffries will resist, so I suggest we ignore them and do town hall barnstorming events like AOC and Bernie and I think Tim Walz were doing. Stay mad.

John Ismay reports for the NY TImes, the Newspaper of Record, so this is indeed an Official Fact.

My hand to God, they are playing "Fortunate Son" as marching music for Trump's military extravaganza parade. This can't be the real timeline. I woke up in today's edition of The Onion. Fortunate Son.

This is the kind of thing that usually I would just scroll past, as I am not of the Tik Tok generation. I'm glad I made an exception here. This is just a delight.

Trump won Idaho by 67% to Harris's 30%. Not a hotbed of radical leftists.

Knocking someone down from behind and hitting them with a stick while they're down is a textbook coward's move, and every first-grader knows it. Contemptible losers.

A few more pictures for the gallery - puppy-shooter Kristi Noem cosplaying as prison guard, ICE cop, some indeterminate but non-nonsense military person, firefighter, and maybe fighter pilot? With this quote: "Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theater."

Who else nearly fell out of the seat when you heard Cosplay Kristi accuse Sen. Padilla of “political theater”?
