I have trouble deciding if I prefer being funny or being right. I have snobbish opinions on movies https://boxd.it/5t2B

Javier Bardem went so hard on the genocide of Palestinians that the View had to cut to commercial break

Apparently cops saw Vance Boelter sitting in his faux cop car near another Minnesota state rep’s home an hour before he murdered Melissa Hortman and her husband and those cops just let him go. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.

Trump has been negative on immigration twice; after the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, and after the Stephen Miller quotas went into place and sparked unrest. This is a sign people should be leaning into his outrages to highlight how terrible they are, not running away from the issue.

The marker would have referenced a 2009 raid on a North Texas gay bar.

While millions of Americans were protesting Trump on Saturday — with thousands in Minnesota literally risking their lives to do so — Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries were in the Hamptons with the Clintons, Nancy Pelosi, Anna Wintour and Nicky Hilton for the wedding of Alex Soros and Huma Abedin

While there’s an active manhunt for the Trump supporter who went on a shooting spree against Democrats, Trump is laser focused on what really matters: whining that meteorologists botched the forecast for his birthday parade.

🚨NEWS: Senators bankrolled by crypto donors put a line in the crypto bill that says in bank collapses, holders of bank cryptocurrency get “priority” over regular depositors, meaning savings/checking accounts could be raided to bail out crypto investors. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

You look at protest activity vs military parade, you look at polling, you look at focus groups, you look at special elections—the US is libbing out hard, not loving Trump II You look at Twitter and it’s a bunch of viral posts that sound like radio rwanda Musk’s $44bn well spent

i think everyone on the left should more or less aggressively grab on to the legacy of FDR's war liberalism and shove it down the throat of every fascist until they cannot breath

i would like some political reporter - any political reporter - to get one of the following reps on the record about mike lee and bernie moreno's comments: - brad finstad - tom emmer - michelle fischbach - pete stauber both finstad and emmer served with her. ask them what they think of these lies.

So it’s just going to be every cops everywhere now that uses excessive force upon people and violates their constitutional rights. This is Charleston, SC and they did this for all of 10 people just exercising their first amendment.

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

It's always interesting to compare the numbers to the Tea Party protests and the respective coverage of them.

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

There's a real attentional trap that all protest movements face and have faced for a long time. If you pull off protests that are polite and civil, even if large, they will struggle to get coverage. Reporters will dismiss them as not newsworthy.

Weingarten: Their attacks on public education are relentless and why? Because they fear knowledge. Why do they fear teachers? They fear us because we teach critical thinking… their brand of greed, power, and privilege cannot survive in a democracy of diverse educated citizens

What a contrast: On the one hand, one grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat. On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, authentic celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently embraces the outdated "miasma theory" of disease instead of the widely accept "germ theory" of disease, which may help explain some of the actions he's been taking.

Misogyny is core to the American fascist project and feminism must be core to its opposition.

Looks like Vance Boelter ran his security company with hiw wife and his brother, a retired local police officer --Sergeant Todd Boelter. www.hometownsource.com/laker_pionee...

And Rufo saying *THIS WEEK* that they needed to use unmarked vans to take progressive leaders off the streets normalizes the violent unaccountability. This is exactly what he’s been trying to incite.

Obama and Biden both failed to do anything about right wing extremists and the big change we need is someone willing to use the state to confront and dismantle their networks, including using state force. For this to be successful it won’t look very “liberal.”

@governorwalz.mn.gov: "The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you're overreacting."

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

Las Vegas police immediately arrest two livestreamers when one of them insults an officer after an anti-ICE protest ("honor your oath, bitch"). "You need to learn there's rules: don't run your mouth at me."

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

I like Pritzker a lot. I think he might go apeshit on these people the way they deserve if given the chance, and I don’t think he is a black hole of self-interest the way Gavin is, so higher chance he rises to the occasion.

It is also unacceptable to threaten to take over a major city with military force and effectively end democratic governance there. That’s why the Senator was there. Let’s not lose sight of that.

When Padilla was like "if they'll do this to a senator, imagine what they'll do to a worker" this is what he meant

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

After the LA immigration crackdown, white nationalist Nick Fuentes says his groypers have defeated Charlie Kirk and their other foes in the GOP. He’s right. My latest False Flag newsletter for @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/how-the-gr...

It’s funny because if you asked “the government has been snatching people off the street, kidnapping them, stalling lawyers who represent them, renditioning them to foreign countries, and generally terrorizing innocent people; what do you do?” The answer would sound like rioting in the streets

Earlier today the news broke that the US was pulling some diplomatic personnel out of Iraq and nearby countries. Now it's come out that Iran just executed a historic hack compromising dozens of terabytes of Netanyahu's private files and Mossad Intel files x.com/DropSiteNews...

His hair had a few years of this and said “I’m out”

I assume this is a lie, and they're actually using information from servicemember databases to identify and locate veterans for deportation. That is what Trump and DOGE promised they do with the personal data they stole, it's been a top priority since Day One. They know, they're just not telling.

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.

Donald Trump commandeered 2,000 of our state’s National Guard members to deploy on our streets.  Illegally, and for no reason.
