I know I’m a little late on this: But it’s really unambiguously good when corrupt politicians are sentenced to substantial prison terms.

just watched this netflix documentary on the oklahoma city bombing and once again i'm struck by how so many of the popular media takes on this event just avoid entirely the connection to organized white supremacism

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

i’ve been to punk shows with bigger crowds than this

has that dude had his little birthday boy tank man parade yet? it’s hard to tell because the only thing the news is showing right now is how much people around the country hate him

I love you Seattle. #abolishice #nokings

I say this as a British person born in England: lol

ok leaving aside for a moment how weird it feels to have a parade in the evening, i didn’t realize half the day was devoted to the president’s own little buff boys competition on the national mall.

I know the leftists hate him but he's got the juice

Hello from Berlin where a few hundred Americans are outside the embassy, currently reading aloud from the Declaration of Independence. #nokings

I'm going to the march today. And I maintain that until we're doing these EVERY DAY, at this scale, nothing is gonna change

Obviously the cops can instigate violence at any protest and everyone should remain cautious, but if you just want to go to a big protest like the ones in most cities today and stand on the outskirts and observe and add your body to the numbers you can and should and you will be fine.

Yes exactly. No we probably won't "save democracy" today but you will experience a feeling of community and fellowship that is buoying to the spirit, personally and collectively.

An easy way to think about what chatgpt does: Take your favorite book. Cut it up into pairs of words: every pair that starts with "I," every pair that starts with "the," etc. Sort each pair into a pile by first word. The "The" pile will be big, the "giraffe" pile likely tiny.

The first civilian detained by U.S. Marines in Los Angeles was an ARMY VETERAN on his way to a VA APPOINTMENT

Well yeah

Oh, also! My dad once installed ceiling fans for Bob "Boots" Williams, who was a locally famous car salesman in Kansas City who was known for wearing a barrel in his commercials. I was along to help and was introduced as if I was meeting a movie star.

A member of Soul Asylum came into my work and ate nachos and I said hi to him. He smoked Parliaments.

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

go ahead, post another "both sides" take. tell me about cafeteria complaints and affinity group graduations at liberal arts colleges set the groundwork for today's DHS. write another essay comparing the domestic mobilization of the military to the social dynamics of leftist group chats.

In honor of Brian Wilson's passing, here are the four categories of Beach Boys songs: 1. surfing is great, you should try it 2. I have a good vehicle 3. I reach beyond myself into the ineffable, and that's where I find you, my love 4. sloop john b

Just want to express once again my contempt for all the mainstream and libertarian platforms that promoted this loathsome discount Goebbels. Shame on you.

The smell of weed in the air is literally the entire city of Los Angeles and has been the case for, I don't know, 80 years? Showing your ass for the Indiana pearl clutchers is broke boi shit CNN
