This is Nellie. She just tried sparkling water for the first time and was not a fan. Even gave it a second chance from a different angle, but it still tasted like it wanted a fight. 12/10

I think they just treat it like a synonym for "old." It's a little more complicated than that but not much.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

You know who else isn’t living safely with their family?

art major engineering, man. nothing like it

Seems like Trump’s most powerful advisor being a white nationalist should inspire greater alarm than the possible mayor of new york being pro palestinian rights

It's bad to ban someone entry to this country for having a meme on their phone but as a consolation prize its incredible to watch that meme get Striesdand Effect'd into universal recognition. Congrats to anti-socialist JD for becoming publicly owned.

This image is now absolutely everywhere over European media lmao

Now that democratic voters have picked a socialist the news media will reflect this significant shift by hiring and booking socialists for their shows and columns, right? right? right? right? right? right? right? right? right? right? right? right? right? right? right? right? right? right? right? rig

ICE is at the Ronald Reagan Medical center at UCLA today, Tuesday afternoon. Pass along to anyone you think may need this information. 😢 😡

A pregnant woman lost her baby after ICE refused to give her prenatal care. She begged for help and was denied. She was fed food full of cockroaches. She was forced to sleep on the floor. This is absolutely disgusting and we should all be outraged. nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

Fuck that.

Remember, this new normal -- in which gangs of masked armed gunmen are causing chaos in the streets, pulling weapons and assaulting innocent people, and no one can say if they're crooks or cops -- was all sold to Americans as a way to make us feel safer.

Hannah-Kim declined to press charges after Kove "bit her upper arm so hard it nearly drew blood."

grandpa slipping and cursing on camera after a major foreign policy fiasco definitely gets covered one way under trump that it did not under joe biden

It'll be our turn to cook soon enough, but right now it's 67 degrees in Los Angeles.

No joke, this picture of a canal wall is one of my favorite photos I took during my recent trip to Venice, just look at that color spectrum

Video captured the moment a road buckled and sent a car flying as a heatwave impacted Missouri on Sunday.

Good on this woman. She's brave as hell.

WATCH: “This is f*cking kidnapping! That’s not your badge… I do have a little bit of education… get the f*ck out of here, racial profiling is illegal…” A brave woman melts ice 🧊 💪🏽 www.instagram.com/reel/DLOWbEs...

“The president’s actions are illegal and dangerous. I am calling for an immediate stop to hostilities and for Trump to be removed from office.” This shit ain’t hard.

What an obscenely terrible headline. I can assure the legacy media that Democrats are not looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed, arrested or indicted. The handcuffs are a symbol of authoritarianism, injustice, intimidation, and government abuse. Nothing more.

the U.S. political press is incapable of dealing with this moment with any seriousness.

Even in LA we will admit that San Diego has it better than us. This is just crazy talk.

Bezos murdered the Washington Post.

250 million acres is just a mind boggling quantity of land www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Nah, our mainstream media would never ask a question like this.

I'm disgusted. This Afghan ally served alongside our troops, was here legally, showed up for his hearing, followed every rule— And he was targeted by ICE anyway. Our nation promised to protect him. But there is simply no one Donald Trump won't betray. www.cbsnews.com/news/afghan-...

Victor Avila, a 66-year-old legal assistant — and a green card holder for 58 years — was detained after visiting his son, who is a member of the U.S. Air Force.

She murdered a puppy in a ditch dawg what else did you need to know

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

i was right.

this whole thing about being the warfighters against the immigrant menace is just so ridiculously belied by claiming to have been assaulted by *LaMonica McIver and Brad Lander.*

i just find this so bizarre. searching through texts and doing the reading for myself is how i actually think through ideas! trying to put together a sentence is how i figure out what i actually want to say!

SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? HEGSETH: What is that based on? SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to bc he didn't accept the order. He has more guts & balls than you

Absurd, @nytimes.com. The "conservative accusations" are a fake way to downgrade the seriousness of Trump's lawless arrests. Yet this silly idea is treated as if it's real w/great credulity, obscuring the naked authoritarianism of his project and degree to which "conservatives" are complicit in it

SIXTY federal agents kitted out like they were taking on Osama Bin Laden to raid a swap meet. The ONLY people they ended up arresting were to people already going through immigration court proceedings, seemingly rearrested because ICE agents didn’t want to go home empty-handed.

As long as they’re hiding their faces, badges and names we should stop calling them “federal agents.” Call them masked goons or unidentified thugs or whatever, unless and until they provide proper ID.

The answer is in ICE's selection of targets: * Democratic politicians in public * Immigrants attending court hearings, at work, or at schools None of those people will be armed. On the flipside, ICE is scrupulously avoiding raids on cartel affiliates, drug dealing sites, etc. They might be armed.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

Probably.

NY Governor Kathy Hochul inside 26 Federal Plaza now, seeking answers from DHS/ICE about the arrest of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, who is still being detained. @thecity.nyc "How long is this going to take, I don't think he has a long rap sheet," Hochul says to agents.

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

I shit you not, people

four of Brad Lander's political opponents praising him and speaking out in his defense shows that not only does this crew understand the stakes but also the incentive structure created for candidates by ranked choice voting is dope

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

The routine arresting of elected officials opposing government action is a hallmark of fascism, and it is happening before our very eyes. @bradlander.bsky.social must be released immediately
