For anyone who doesn’t live in Los Angeles or understand the geography of the city, the area is actually quite small where police are currently rioting.

Never forget that what we are seeing happen right now was an explicit and open campaign promise of Trump's.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

FFS, people. I trip on a regular basis. I have done since I was in my 40s. I do a lot less, now that I wear barefoot shoes. Airplane steps are not the easiest. I mean, I detest that weird fascist, racist, misogynist, anti-LGBTQIA, xenophobic orange muppet, but this is a nothing burger

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

This is what comes of the anti-trans rhetoric that TERFs like JK Rowling peddle on a daily basis.

When Trump is gone someday, the spell will be broken, and the people who supported him the whole time, will suddenly claim to have never supported him.

Why does “learning to live with covid” mean accepting repeat infections as inevitable? Why does it mean throwing the vulnerable to the wayside, unsafe healthcare & mass disability? That’s not “living with it”. That’s giving up We need to adapt. Clean air, paid time off, masks in healthcare.

Japan's far-right Sanseito party has proposed new Constitution for the country. It will erase various basic human rights that are protected by the current constitution. It will also restrict the rights of immigrants, including those who have naturalized and become Japanese citizens.

The cement king of Sioux City who drives a brand new F-350 and has two vacation houses in Florida isn't an elite but a grad student with $200,000 in debt and a nose ring is, that's how this works.

I swear to gawd the MSM is never going to learn. They went from Biden has dementia to he was hiding cancer and almost none of them are talking about this. Stop telling me democrats have a messaging problem and start accepting the MSM is not our friend. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Even if you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d still need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

Last night was a hectic one. In case you missed it: DOGE put a college student in charge of using AI to rewrite housing regulations. Because who needs experts when you’ve got ChatGPT and an economics and data science major? And yes—this may be rolling out across government. Cool cool cool.

Kahlenber promotes the abuser’s theory of authoritarianism. “Look what you made me do” is the victim-blaming excuse of psychopaths. Authoritarians everywhere target higher education to destroy independent centers of information and resistance, not because of affirmative action. “DEI” is pretext.

I don't care if it's incompetence, indifference, or malice: Democrats need to make suire literally every person who had any hand in deporting ("deporting") a US citizen will be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible. It's too late to make it right. 1/2

I think panic about new forms of media is largely just a generational rite of passage, but this is evil. The way this kid delivers Arbeit Mach Frei as a TikTok hustle culture "Isn't it cool how this works?" pitch gives me chills.

CBS News: "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently ordered modifications to a room next to the Pentagon press briefing room to retrofit it with a makeup studio that can be used to prepare for television appearances." It allegedly cost taxpayers thousands of dollars. Where's DOGE?
