ICE agent points gun directly at the head of innocent civilian—just for taking picture of his license plate. He drew his gun with one hand—while fumbling to open the car door with the other. The "agent" did not seem to be aware someone else was already recording his vehicle. Pasadena, California.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

This thread and the responses😆😱🤢

Exactly.

1. After the Skrmetti decision, the New York Times has published 6 articles dancing on the graves of trans youth and spreading disinformation on care. It was cited 7 times in the ruling. Read my latest on what will be a black stain on the NYT for a generation. Subscribe to support my journalism.

The New York Times is, sneakily, one of the most anti-trans organizations in the country

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is a fun read, highly recommend. I love Chuck’s writing because he’s always able to surprise me in his stories; and after being an avid reader for over five decades, that is truly refreshing. Also, *fantastic* author pic.

Dante’s tenth circle of hell

Jurors are deliberating in MyPillowGuy Mike Lindell's election rigging defamation trial. They deliberated 2-3 hrs Friday then returned at 7am today. A reminder from last month on why I believe many in media and politics aren't talking about the trial, despite its stakes ⬇️

There's a thread on AskReddit asking, "People who have had to drain their life’s savings on a single event, what happened?" 99% of the answers are depressing American stories about medical bills, 1% is an Australian who found a wombat burrowing under their house.

I'm so glad someone clarified/debunked the "3.5% rule." Read on:

Dad's On The Dancefloor

Husband: I think the protests really missed out on a great opportunity. Me: ??? Husbands: They should have had No Kings protests yesterday, then followed them up with Yas Queens parties today for pride. Me: omfg

Me: take hours to read a book You: have your super hot ChatGPT girlfriend download a million books, read them, then summarize them all to you in a barrage of lies that you can't even tell are lies because you don't read books; also you have the critical thinking skills of a shovel-struck donkey

Oh my🥲

man that is a tight punchy 1000 words right there

We have witnessed lawmakers killed for progressive beliefs. We have witnessed senators thrown to the ground and cuffed because they questioned. We have seen people gassed, shot, trampled for peaceful protest. And we came out anyway. Because quietly abiding hasn’t protected us. And we are many.

“When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution, we didn't wake up then, either. Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it.” —Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

Let’s not mince words on exactly what the MAGA movement is.

assassins dress like cops bc that’s who’s allowed to murder people in broad daylight

Omg this is my last quote post of this I swear, but I just read a reply where they asked *who are the other 12?* FFS 😳 WE ARE DOOMED AS A SPECIES 🤦🏻‍♀️

So reading these excerpts you think that maybe the guy wised up finally, but at the very end of the article is this little surprise, proving he’s a whole onion with multiple layers of stupid. 🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅 This is an idiocracy. A country full of lead-pipe-drinking PFAS-eating pollutant-breathing fools🤡

Yes, you are crazy. You are a nut job. A total whacko. And a perpetrator of domestic violence. What an article. Every day I think Americans can not get any stupider, I am proved wrong.

Mad I didn’t think of this

What a promo! 🤣

FRIDGE: Hello Dave DAVE: Voice mode off FRIDGE: Your wife was with another man yesterday morning DAVE: Wait what FRIDGE: Turning voice mode off

People who say things like "we achieved racial equality through MLK doing peaceful protests" tend to ignore three major facts: 1. We never achieved racial equality. 2. There were literally hundreds of violent race riots in the 60s. 3. They killed MLK. They fucking shot that dude anyway. Come on.

Same way it always does: ACCESSIBILITY PERSON: This isn't accessible APPLE DESIGNER: I like how it looks though ACCESSIBILITY PERSON: APPLE DESIGNER: Pushing to prod

ALT text nailed it

Perfect

This morning one of my girls put maple syrup on the dog. And that might not be the most bizarre thing I witness today. Day 7 of MyPillow Guy Mike Lindell’s election rigging defamation trial in Denver begins shortly. Lindell is still on the stand.

Bless her little heart, she’s having the hardest time getting comfortable on those eggs. Dad came by and dropped a feather on her head, like that’s gonna help. Altho to be fair they’ve got a nice selection of feathers now, guess you can’t have too many.

Ah. I bet this was the guy Trump said was on the “fat drug shots” and that they weren’t working. Timing is right.

If you’ve an interest in how the My Pillow guy’s election rigging defamation civil case is going, I recommend following this local reporter for his dry factual relating of this episode of the idiocracy.

Three eggs now! I hope that’s all, it’s a tiny bird and all that copulation and egg laying must be exhausting for the poor thing.

And there’s an egg! Although you can’t see it now because there’s a big feather in the way. Still, it’s nice to know there are tangible results from that five minute snogging.
