Grabbing the gun before her by correctly guessing the code on my first try (1488)

NEBRASKA FOLKS: “Are we just gonna sit on the couch and let these billionaires control this country? HELL NO! — I almost kinda want to cry.” 🇺🇸 PBS: “Have any of you been paid to be here?” NEBRASKA FOLKS: “No… I’m actually taking work off to be here. I’m losing money.”

Welp, there goes the US defense industry.

Israel has made a complete mockery of the US. Their atrocities against the Palestinians have exposed our politicians, universities, media outlets, non-profits, religious institutions, celebrities, etc. as complicit entities. Millions of people are waking up to what's going on.

Israel has blown up Gaza's only specialised cancer treatment hospital, the Turkish-Palestinian Hospital, along with an adjacent medical school, drawing condemnation for yet again targeting a medical facility ⤵️ aje.io/wpl2e4

JUST IN: Judge Hollander has issued a *second* letter today warning Social Security acting commissioner Dudek not to shut down all operations over her order barring DOGE's access to sensitive systems. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is one of those things that isn't really news, but should be reported anyway. Of course the vandalism is stochastic, individual, and unrelated to protests; the entire gambit of deeming these lone wolves part of a "terrorist organization" is to target the peaceful protesters, who are organized

Eyewitnesses Say Israel Appears to Be Dropping New Types of Munitions on Gaza

The is the "Let them eat cake" moment a viable opposition party would use to end "DOGE" permanently.

In @vanityfair.com, Gwyneth makes fun of my book with her name in the title, proposing a sequel: “Was Gwyneth Paltrow Right About Everything?” Is article, she displays a stunning amount of Dunning Kruger fuelled arrogance. She helped to normalize the pseudoscience that created current sh*t storm.

"The way I was taught is, if your family were immigrants to this country and came for a better life, the price you pay for that is you can never say that 'no one else is welcome.' That is what America was built on," said the Dropkick Murphys frontman Ken Casey.

Trump administration just issued reduction of force orders to the Department of Homeland Security's Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties as well as the Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman, DHS official tells me

“It’s really important to know UCLA did nothing to stop them on that night.”

there is a bizarre consensus among "liberal" intellectual and political elites that we must assume Republicans are acting in good faith despite decades of evidence to the contrary

Reminder that 'savvy' political fact checkers spent the entire campaign telling voters that Trump was not going to do the things he obviously was going to do.

BREAKING: The Trump Administration is doubling down on their threats to shut down Social Security. “Unless I get clarification, I’ll just start to shut it down. I don’t have much of a choice here.”

We cannot abide a Democratic Party that continues to be weak and acquiescent in the face of this. Enough is enough.

am i losing my mind or is this an insane reaction at someone asking the most popular former president to stop making netflix movies and to instead do something to counter incoming fascism

Potentially sick own followed by unnecessary, unsuccessful heat check followed by "oh crap" legal liability follow-up

my actual automotive journalist opinion is: sell your Tesla. you do not want this car, pragmatically. Every sign points to it being extremely difficult to insure, absolutely toxic to be seen in, and virtually worthless on the secondary market. buy here pay heres are already overflowing with ‘em

Every country should structure its legal and regulatory systems as a series of traps that guarantee someone like Elon Musk would end up in prison before he ever got rich

I look forward to you posting more of this kind of impotent seethe and cope while we bankrupt your idiot pal #TeslaTakedown

"That’s the point, really. The standardization of chaos. The steady insistence that no matter how outlandish, how dangerous, this tilt away from democracy gets, it’s actually nothing to get upset about." @brbarrett.bsky.social's latest:

Segregation was never just separate facilities It was paying more & getting less in your neighborhood It was getting the Phd, but still not getting hired It was needing police for the police It was building up a newspaper & having it burned (Wells) It was building a school & having it shot up (JSU)

Political comments such as “Jackie Robinson’s story involves race and you can’t understand the life of Jackie Robinson if you remove that”

And so ehhhh haha the first step you see is haha to eliminate Medicare haha ehhhh

just a friendly reminder for those looking for good entertainment websites that The A.V. Club is free from G/O, the film section is under my care, and we don't run slop

99-0. Every single senator voted to confirm this ghoul.

some are wondering how this is all happening so fast. it's because we are watching the crumbling of a facade, the thin outer layer of something that has been consistently and relentlessly hollowed out by both parties, bit by bit, for decades. this shell was the fantasy world to which liberals clung.

Okay it may seem bad that Meta appropriated the entirety of the written word without compensating or even consulting with any writers, but consider what the world got out of it: a thing you accidentally tap in Instagram

It's very possible to get too poll-brained and miss the forest for the trees, but I think the general observation that people fucking love social security and medicare is true and should inform our messaging to some extent

people say The Great Gatsby is “no longer relevant,” but careless people have never been more brazen, or more prominent.

this is easily the worst part for tesla and elon musk. there’s zero chance demand for the cybertruck will increase past this

So many trump supporters have kids w IEPs and if you know any please make sure they see this

DOGE laid off 10,000 postal workers today. Farewell to the US Postal Service – more than 10,000 employees will be laid off following the agreement signed with DOGE unionrayo.com/en/usps-job-...

if the democratic party had a functional propaganda arm it could make a lot of hay of the fact that a non-trivial number of MAGA personalities and politicians are child sex offenders
