One democrat has strapped up - and because we don’t like him we choose autocrathy. Newsom is not perfect. He is not even great. But he is all there is.

"Ich begriff, dass ich am Leben war" #Ahmedabad #Indien #Flugzeugabsturz

We need answers about what happened on Alderaan and assurances from the Empire that it won’t happen again.

Shireen is right.

They behave like this 6 months in. Imagine what they will do in 1, 2 or even 6 months time….

This is who we are. Above all he is someone’s son and he chose to protect us and to thank him is what we do. We don’t fight him and he doesn’t fight us.

For those of you watching what is going down and say, "This is not America," please sit down, as I have some unsettling news for you.

OH MY GOD, this Titan sub documentary has video of the cracking sounds when the hull separated in earlier dives that turned out to be delamination and … look, y’all, we reject helmets for delam at work, it’s the layers separating, if I heard that inside that submersible I would never stop screaming.

Statement from the Foreign Ministry of the Islamic Republic of Iran:

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city." Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

No one likes the idea of living through violent social upheaval but do you prefer the idea of spending the rest of your life with your head down? watching neighbors vanish? wondering who's next? I don't at a certain we owe ourselves and everyone who comes afterwards a tall glass of courage

Legit emotional over Rick Moranis coming out of retirement for a #Spaceballs sequel. Holy shit

People have complained about no one standing up, and now that Newsom is, they attack him. I understand his flaws, but we need to coalesce behind someone on the frontline. We need to unite, and he's our best option right now.

So cool

‘Suspicion of failure to disperse.’ I mean come on at that point why even bother pretending there’s a reason for the arrest, just write down ‘because I said so’ and get on with it.

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

Sen. Alex Padilla was just removed from Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles (video: Bill Melugin/Fox News)

Vorhin gehört, dass weltweit bis 2027 über 30% der Hilfsgelder eingespart werden sollen. Das sind über 30 Milliarden Euro für die nötigste Hilfe weltweit! Ein Großteil wird von dem orangenen Faschisten gestrichen. Wir sind dabei einen weltweiten Massenmord an den Schwächsten zu begehen. Brutal

I told you we’d be back

I like how people are pretending like he has put some great thought into Javert vs Veljean as some deep philosophical exercise and chosen not to comment on sides as an ideological position when in fact he has no clue whatsoever who any of these people are

Calvin & Hobbes is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic strips of all time and I feel like we STILL underrate it.

BALDWIN: What is the authority that the administration is using to deploy active duty Marines to California neighborhoods? HEGSETH: The president has constitutional authority BALDWIN: Cite the provision of the Constitution HEGSETH: I'd have to pull up the specific provision

“.. Jesus, that ear. He should donate it to the Smithsonian. .. He made all his records with four tracks, but you couldn't make his records if you had a hundred tracks today.” - Bob Dylan, on Brian Wilson #RIP “Good Vibrations” (1966)

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

if you read the way people in the US talk about Lee you'll think he's Võ Nguyên Giáp, then you look at his actual record and the best comp for it is the New York Jets

Oh.

Seth gets it

Es sollten sich generell wieder viel mehr Leute schämen.

BREAKING: ICE is preparing to deploy tactical units to five cities run by Democratic leaders, according to two sources familiar with the planning of future ICE operations.

In the next civil war, "the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other." - Ulysses S. Grant, 1875

ABC News has cut ties with its senior national correspondent Terry Moran after he posted that Stephen Miller is a “world-class hater” who “eats his hate.” Kudos to Moran for having the courage to speak the truth — and screw ABC News for not standing behind him and backing his right to free speech.

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

If reporting in the USA was real news.

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

Tim Kretschmer aus Winnenden hat an seiner Schule 8 Mädchen und eine Lehrerin ermordete und eine weitere Lehrerin und 9 Mädchen teilweise schwer verletzt. Wenn junge Männer Massenmorde an Schulen begehen, macht es immer Sinn nach dem Geschlecht ihrer Opfer zu fragen.

I'm sure this is all a waste of our time.... But any medical experts out there want to watch Stephen Miller talk about MAHA and explain if there's any science here besides eugenics?

„Laut Kahl gibt es in Moskau „Leute, die glauben nicht mehr, dass Artikel 5 der Nato funktioniert. Und sie würden das gerne testen“. Und es geht um eine Stadt in Estland mit russischsprachiger Minderheit. 😉 Völlig unglaubwürdiges Szenario (random internet user) m.bild.de/politik/ausl...

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

SWAT shoot at a woman for filming them.

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.
