This child rapist has already bonded out. This child rapist owns a mental health clinic for children. This child rapist is involved in youth sports programs. Please tell me his bond conditions prohibit his return to the clinic & youth sports activities as a condition of bond!

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

I’m seeing a whole lot of people saying they hated the halftime show — which is wild, because these were the same people who said they’d never watch another NFL game.

Alabama executed Demetrius Frazier by nitrogen suffocation tonight despite serious questions about the reliability of his death sentence.

Pay attention to all of the voices on the right insulting NATO. This is a trial balloon for Trump pulling out.

Everyone realizes they’re trying to shift the Overton Window, right? They’re conditioning you to be accepting of the insane shit they’re doing now so you’ll accept the more insane shit they do later.

Stop letting pedophiles bond out. People keep defending them by citing their work as pastors — THATS WHY THEY’RE PASTORS. Wake up.

Day 11: An unelected billionaire sent his private staff into restricted govt bldgs to access sensitive databases of DOBs, Social Security numbers, appraisals, addresses, etc. They’ve set up cots FFS. No security clearance. No background checks. No oversight. www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

The news that Kim Caldwell will coach Tennessee for tomorrow’s game against South Carolina, seven days after giving birth, reminded me of this legendary story about Pat Summitt giving birth. Except from Jeff Goldberg’s 2015 book “Unrivaled” (lol):

The January 6 pardons are turning out great.

I was to give a talk at a big US Attorney's Office next week abt the complicity of German lawyers in the creation of the Nazi state. Yesterday the Justice Department cancelled it. Irony is dead. I've got an op/ed on this I'm looking to place. Help appreciated. #LawSky #Skystorians #Holocaust

@olbermann.bsky.social Happy birthday, Keith!

Remember the victims, not the killers.

Former Kentucky & NBA star Rex Chapman discusses his incredibly honest & poignant memoir, It’s Hard for Me to Live With Me, & a life shaped by basketball, racism, confidence on the court & doubt off it, ADHD, depression, addiction and recovery. Watch here: youtu.be/Jh5bsC6FaPo?...

Its byzantine — intentionally so. When Tennesseans have paid their debts to society, they ought to be able to restore their rights in a consistent, dignified manner — not one that is only available in to an arbitrary few, and not one that burns through valuable resources.

Russian milblogger Vault 8 says that Ukrainians are effectively leveraging drones, artillery, and advanced tactics to neutralise Russian armored vehicles, forcing Russian tanks to operate only from covered positions while enabling their own tanks to engage more freely, even with direct fire.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Russia launched nearly 700 air bombs and over 600 attack drones in just one week. "Their war continues only because of their advantage in the skies. Russia won’t stop its wars voluntarily—it must be forced to peace through sufficient and effective air defense."

🛳️🚫🇸🇾 Russia still does not have permission for ships to enter the port of Tartus in Syria to evacuate military property by sea. Rear Admiral Varfolomeyev again unsuccessfully tried to negotiate, - GUR 🔥 Russian soldiers ordered to burn inoperable equipment.

Great piece from @annamerlan.bsky.social on the disinformation nightmare swirling around the Los Angeles fires. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I wrote about 1960s Black trans woman singer and icon Jackie Shane, whose story was essentially erased for decades. All love to a trailblazing transcestor...🖤✏️ #blogpost

In 1990, Pat Buchanan wrote about the United States “absorbing” Canada. Apparently this has been a right-wing fever dream for a while. h/t @jeetheer.bsky.social on X

From 1990 to 2010, about seven persons per year with U.S. military backgrounds committed extremist crimes. Since 2011, that number has jumped to almost 45 per year. By Nick Turse w @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/01/02/m...

WTF does Graeme Wood think has been happening since 2014? We literally have been fighting them everywhere they exist! They were physically dismantled when their caliphate fell in 2017. The only way is to counter ISIS/AQ Ideology and make it radioactive, not attractive to followers.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The man who died in a Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside a Trump hotel was a member of the Army's elite Green Berets.

President Joe Biden will posthumously award the Presidential Citizens Medal to the late war reporter Joe Galloway who worked for UPI during the Vietnam War and as a civilian, received the Bronze Star medal. I helped write his obituary at AP apnews.com/article/midd...

apnews.com/article/trum... Man who died in Tesla Cybertruck explosion was active-duty US Army solider, officials say

A Tesla truck caught fire and exploded outside the hotel on Wednesday morning, authorities say. One person died inside the vehicle, while seven who were nearby received minor injuries.

Godspeed, President Carter. www.ajc.com/news/former-...

70% of Americans who receive food stamps and Medicaid work full time, with Walmart one of the worst offenders as the country’s single largest employer. Taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to subsidize corporations who get away with paying poverty wages, especially not while raking in record profits.

Bill Webster was also a US Attorney and a Federal Judge. He left the bench to run the FBI, and then the CIA. Savvy, sound, judicious and only interested in what is best for the USA.

Just leaving this here.
