Seeing claims about the judge "hiding" the defendant. Read the complaint, folks (written by DOJ). The guy was literally in the public area where the agents were. I guess he got on an elevator before they could get to him. The complaint says after letting the defendant exit she came back to the bench

It's really hard to focus on work when we're sliding headfirst 100mph into fascism

The Irish solidarity with Palestine is one of the few good things in the world right now.

The only conservative thinker worth reading is Michel Foucault

So they've arrested two judges and are threatening to shut down or "investigate" ActBlue, seriously, what do people think is coming next?

So let me get this straight - we have reports today of TWO judges being arrested on (what I'm almost entirely positive is) trumped up charges? When does everyone want to admit this is fascism? Are we finally fucking there yet?

Tech blew up and threatened our 75yr old production manager and walked off over a single question. Happy Friday everyone.

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

Why didn't a single soul ever tell me Risk of Rain was this fucking good

"never underestimate the willingness of the state to act out its own massive fantasies" - Don DeLillo, Underworld

This miserable president has a pliable Congress and could make changes to the law but is instead just writing bullshit like “The Civil Rights Act no longer exists” on White House stationery and calling it policy

has anyone studied this

Kinda insane and shows how afraid the networks are of upsetting this administration that a guy who killed 7 people and wounded 48 with “47” literally tattooed on his face has all but been forgotten like there’s still not a very serious threat emanating from every pore of this pathetic cult

Al Gore is back baybee

Love it. If Dems played the game half as hard as the GOP they'd dominate. David Hogg merely *suggested* doing what the GOP has been doing for 20 years and fossils like Carville are saying he should be sued and kicked out of the party; case in point.

Might start a Substack just to hone what I'm calling "longform shitposting"

(average american, apparently): what do you they're doing nazi shit? they're not doing nazi shit! we'd know because there would be swastikas and stuff. the nazi shit that is in fact happening:

The same folks who have their dicks all hard over this MAHA nonsense are the same folks who've been defending Americans eating a daily caloric intake of an adult Orca my entire goddamn fucking life

👏 THAT'S 👏 WHAT 👏 I'VE 👏 BEEN 👏 FUCKING 👏 SAYING 👏

No seriously do you just start writing or how does this shit work

This is absolutely nightmarish stuff. And too many folks are conditioned to accept it.

this is, by definition, not an "immigration crackdown"

Okay, serious question; how does one start writing. Like do I need to plan this shit out or do I William Gibson that bitch and just start typing and clean it up along the way? I genuinely don't know but I have so many ideas I'm starting to get a headache I need to start writing asap

America, which I do not support, has never been a democracy, which I do not support. It has always been a republic, which I also do not support. by Glenn Greenwald

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

Fucking legend

This is a fun little hell we're sleepwalking into innit

I mean it's not even the US, look at most major countries and the left is splintered between actual leftists and centrists who cosplay while the right is more or less unified around one or two major parties. The right kowtows to fascism while centrists accuse socialists of ruining electoral chances.

Its literally nothing but testosterone and sperm with these people; fucking creeps. If trans people can't get HRT then little old dried up men and ladies can fuck right off too. Deal with it, Gladys.

here's how bernie can still become the pope

The David Hogg situation pisses me off straight to my core in that we of the American "left" (whatever that entails anymore honestly) will have to answer for our socialism, progressivism, etc. etc. before the GOP has to grapple with becoming a fully fascist party. Just asinine.

you cannot fast travel when haters are nearby

Dear God I feel this

Accidentally bought a large print book and I feel SO old. Ancient. Dust is younger than me. The universe blinked into existence and I already had a driver's license. O. L. D.

Myself and one of the techs in the shop who shares my politics are pretty much unraveling and our coworkers are struggling to understand what's going on with us. This seriously must be what 1930s Germany felt like; you only see the fascism if you really want to or if it affects you.

Throwback to getting in trouble for wearing this shirt in 6th grade because it had a gun on it. Good times.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

human lives have dignity as they are, they do not need to be whipped into shape by smooth-skinned patrician hands before deserving not just our love and respect but our joyous affirmation. if you see how somebody's getting by and feel horror the problem is with your gaze not the person. Matthew 7:5

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

Amy Coney Barrett is like the naive mother of an insufferable Ivy League prick who's only realizing she raised a monster when the local sheriff knocks her door at 2am

Who are these actual fuckwits with these fucking hot takes in the last few days? Abrego Garcia isn't a "politically winning issue"? Fuck you. Fuck you three times. Maybe it's not about politics? Maybe people just fucking care that someone was illegally sent to a foreign gulag? Fucking idiots.

So Long, It's Been Good To Know Ya
