I mean, look, if Mamdani actually had invented time travel, went back in time and invented Twitter so it existed six years before it was created, to tweet about something that happened when he was 9 yeas old, with a picture of him at age 33, well... then maybe it's something to talk about...

Every single day I find a new reason to hate RFK Jr. Just an absolute ghoul.

This is the money to build a literal secret police complex, maybe the largest that's ever existed? How much do we know about the extent of the gulag archipelago

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication? RFK JR: I did not fact check RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

The correct term is ‘assassinated’ or ‘murdered.’ The AP makes it sound like an accident.

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.

The Trump admin has freed Jose Hernandez Reyes because he can testify against Abrego Garcia. Hernandez, who has been deported 5 times, has also been arrested for: —DUI w/ a handgun; —cocaine possession; —illegally transporting migrants; and —drunkenly firing a gun. Free link: wapo.st/40i4Ttt

The US government is currently torturing a six year old to death in front of his mother. There are no words.

Bounty hunters should be illegal. Add that to "abolish ICE."

This isn't just a secret police force. this is a military branch

☺️☮️💙✌🏼🌊

💯 true. Deport her.

The Senate tax bill is looking like Liz Truss on steroids. $5 trillion more in deficits, a dramatic raising of the debt limit, all to scatter cash at populist causes. It’s a fiscal nuke waiting to blow up in the heart of America.

Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves. If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such. 🚨 Yesterday, an L.A. man was arrested for impersonating a federal agent. Loaded gun, fake documents, cop gear and even blinking & blue on his car

Someone is having a very bad birthday

Wake up, Rodney, I think I've got something to say to you. Why would I wanna give a fucking chance to a fascist tool?

So my former political party has become a fascist-embracing cult, but everybody goes on & on about how messed up the Democratic Party is? Seriously? It’s the “Democratic Party” that has issues? Not the party that’s given up on democracy and ignores the rule of law? Fuck that.

🔥🏍️ Motorcycles and Bukhankas burn well in the Kupyansk area due to devastating strikes by FPV drones of the border guards of "Phoenix" unit.

Russians… 🏍️🥴

One of my students was also a victim of Heydon, and I find his reception back into the profession’s fold highly objectionable. www.smh.com.au/national/i-w...

‘If you want my body And you think I’m Brexy Come on Nigel Let me know…’ 🇬🇧 Rod Stewart managed to go 80 years without making a holy show of himself (leopardskin kecks excepted) but this is excruciating

Supreme Court Rules 6-3 To Open Evil Tomb Of Batibat

Never forget that #SesameStreet once did a sketch based on Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal, which involved a Swedish fisherman counting seals until he found the seventh one.

“We’re the good guys,” I tell myself as a 6-year-old leukemia patient pees his pants in fear. I adjust my black mask and sunglasses in the mirror, making sure to hide my identity. “I am not evil,” I whisper.

Powerful piece. “The men now working to rehabilitate Heydon – many..the same ones who once drank in his chambers – never saw his predation. They weren’t his targets. His charm & wit never came with a proposition. That behaviour was reserved for young women like me.” www.theage.com.au/national/i-w...

Meanwhile in New South Wales, Australia "NSW Police said that, based on medical advice received, this incident did not meet the threshold for a critical incident – an incident involving a member of the police force that results in the death of, or serious injury to, a person."

Thinking again about how the media turned Bill Clinton talking to AG Loretta Lynch for 15 minutes into a major scandal for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election.

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

Real photo of the week From the new Private Eye, out now.

US attacks Iran. Does my bomb look big in this? The new Private Eye is out now

Meredith has always been a G, but it's still exceptionally weird and very refreshing hearing from a tech exec who can see through all of this AI bullshit for what it is at its foundation: a backdoor surveillance tool.

Not sure who is behind this video (could just be dude on camera) but it is extremely effective and this kind of thing will first make the rounds on social but then show up, or be imitated in, election-season ads.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

#Auspol America is fascist. The Constitution is no longer respected or protected by its highest Court of law. They sold out the peoples rights to the Oligarchs

Look at this squadron of heavily armed guys blowing up a door and entering a house like it's a cartel fortress and not a family home. This is fucking madness.

Gift link to a chilling report from Haaretz that everyone should read. Even if only a fraction of this (and some of the paper’s previous detailed reporting on possible war crimes) is true, we should all be deeply saddened and sickened, as I am right now. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
