There are people on the internet that don’t believe Ryan Coogler is as good of a director as Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve and I’m trying to understand what that criteria looks like because every single film from his filmography is a banger. And he’s only gotten better over time.

I tell anyone who will listen that Missouri has been running the pilot for Project 2025 for decades. Here are two Missouri Senators burning the “woke agenda” nearly two years ago. The photo op was meant to simulate Nazis burning books.

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

I know people that got fired today. So. Yea. The fun keeps coming.

Just when grants to study this are being terminated. Story by @aniloza.bsky.social

When the Nazis came to power in 1933, one of the first things they did was require Jews to register with the government. But 1938, they were required to list all property they owned. Seems like history is rhyming. apnews.com/article/ille...

🚨This is a federally centralized target list.🚨 If you’re undocumented and sign up, they’ll eventually find a pretext to sweep in and deport you. If you don’t sign up, it will be declared a criminal offense, and THAT will be the pretext to sweep in and deport you. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I don't know how many times I can use the word "evil" before it loses all meaning, which is unfortunate because these evil motherfuckers are just a nonstop evil train full of evil cargo hurtling down evil tracks & every day they add four new evil cars to the evil train.

I am perhaps (I hope) more confident than evidence justifies that they are gearing up to do this with trans people as a group

COMPARE: the results of fighting back to the results of not fighting back

1,701 pounds of #Butter recall. 🔻'#Cabot Creamery butter with sea salt' is being recalled. 🔻The recalled butter contains “elevated levels of coliform,” a bacteria found in feces. 🔻The butter was sold in seven states and may be in consumers’ refrigerators.

They're trying to kill Rumeysa Ozturk for writing a fucking op ed

“The writer is a stellar satirist. (The title itself is an inside joke: “Mỹ” is the Vietnamese word for America.)”

why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been. What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

"The categories of information shown here are drawn from 23 data systems holding personal information about the public across eight agencies ... In all, The New York Times identified more than 300 separate fields of data about people who live in the U.S. contained in these data systems."

Due to the destruction of IMLS, the Maine State Library just laid off 13 employees and will be restructuring. The dominos are all going to fall very fast, folks. www.pressherald.com/2025/04/09/s...

luka gotta shotgun a beer during the postgame interview

Dallas with all the love for Luka Doncic as he checked out of the game, followed by loud "Fire Nico" chants

Remember when people dismissed the "Abolish ICE" folks as being too hysterical? Now, here we are.

Cleanup has begun for the 3,500 barrels, or 147,000 gallons of crude oil which is equal to 16 tanker trucks full, that spilled in North Dakota from the Keystone pipeline. Remember this when Donald Trump tries to make fetch happen with the Keystone XL pipeline again.

No matter how bad you’ve fucked up at your job, you’ve never traded Luka Doncic. Always remember that.

The Texas Senate has passed a bill banning one of most common native trees, the Texas mountain laurel, which grows abundantly wild around Austin and is among the most common landscape trees.

They’re not just going after criminals. They’re taking away legal ways to enter the U.S. and kicking out people who entered “the right way.” Let’s call it what it is: this is about kicking out all immigrants who aren’t white.

A thing press institutions REALLY need to internalize is that 1000x more people will see the headline than read the article. If the headline leaves a false impression, but the article sets it straight, it doesn’t matter. You are spreading misinformation.

-Trump bans the AP from the White House press pool -Judge orders AP be allowed back into the pool -Trump admin continues to block AP from the pool, and then censors the pool report noting the AP was turned away. Great reporting from @oliverdarcy.bsky.social www.status.news/p/white-hous...

The gang of six act more like Trump's attorneys than like judges - crafting elaborate and clever rationales for why he can do whatever he'd like to, cleaning up his incompetent mess behind him.

Georgetown scholar Dr. Khan Suri, who was abducted by ICE, was refused food/water to break Ramadan fast, housed in a room without a bed, and issued *used* underwear. His child cried for days after he was taken and has since stopped speaking. ccrjustice.org/home/press-c...

This will absolutely kill people. The decimation of USAID, the gutting of CDC, NIH and now he’s about to create drug shortages.

the one silver lining to all of this is seeing this parade of dipshits get their just desserts

A slack labor market also leads to bosses mistreating workers, lack of raises, lack of career advancement etc. This is why bosses hated the Biden labor market and love Trump restoring post GFC levels of worker precarcity.

Trump’s FBI just disbanded their cryptocurrency enforcement team. Crime is officially legal.

Quake-stricken Myanmar is still in desperate need of medical assistance, field hospitals and shelters, Thailand's foreign minister said, stressing the importance of a coordinated regional relief effort and long-term support reut.rs/3EgJiJZ

something I haven't seen yet: isn't a massive increase in the range of goods worth smuggling going to be a big boost to exactly the kind of cross-border organized crime the WH claims it wants to stop?

Angry? They are locking you up if you breathe wrong. There's news that they want to put US citizens in camps in El Salvador. The tariffs are one thing, but that alone wouldn't stop people going completely. We don't want to vacation in jail.

On the other side of Signalgate eight children were killed, including a five-year-old boy named Hamad who was "roasted" www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

*looks directly at camera*

Yeah that's the long and short of it
