Macron is 5’10”. Trump lies about his height because he is an insecure weasel of a man.

I don't care what color suit Trump is wearing to the papal funeral and unless you are Derek Guy, neither should you. The salient point is that he is a fascist monster, not that he has poor sartorial taste.

Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone on Oath Keeper Stewart Rhodes who was just released from prison: "He can go fuck himself." REPOST if you stand with Officer Fanone against the GOP!

Sometimes, it seems clear that Pierre Boulez was fucking with us.

Robert Plant’s Fate of Nations is a better album than I remember.

My CivPro professor David Marcus once described federal judges as little emperors. this I think is what he meant. Hoo-doggy! storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Movie you have watched more than six times using gifs. (Hard Mode, no Star Wars, Star Trek or LOTR)

I love a good punctuation joke(

I wonder how many members of congress voted for both? That's something a legal academic could research and tell us about.

Don't take legal advice from internet randos. Even me. And definitely not this guy:

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

Instead of fighting to protect American workers, Elissa Slotkin told us she’s decided to work with the GOP to make it easier and cheaper to import vulnerable foreign guest workers. How does THAT add up to a “war plan” against Trump?

Arrest of Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan is unlikely to hold water.

Worth reading regarding the wafer thin allegations against Judge Dugin threadreaderapp.com/thread/19158...

Special Agent Lindsay Schloemer had an opportunity to do the right thing and resign when instructed to complete this charging affidavit. Agent Schloemer made a different choice. #ACAB

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of protesters have now gathered outside a federal courthouse in downtown Milwaukee to support Judge Hannah Dugan

OR JUST NOT FUCKING USE IT EVER

That’s a doozy.

This shouldnt need saying. That it does is one of the reasons you can tell radical liberalism is an empty simulacra of politics.

No one using the word “imperialism” in the 21st century is trustworthy

Why are so many marxists so fundamentally unserious?

Nowhere is perfect. The roots of fascism can be found everywhere. The only reasonable response is constant defense of liberty and opposition to power, no matter who wields it.

On the one hand Étoile has Charlotte Gainsbourg in it and she is spellbinding in everything. On the other hand it is deeply unfunny and badly scripted.

Ive given up on trying to understand the logic of proliferating pride flags, but i admit to extra bafflement over the existence of pride flags for specific medical diagnoses.

I assume we will hear more about this, but im already curious about ICE jurisdiction on DOD property.

Yet another reason why functionimg capitalist economies need to prevent such obscene wealth accumulation by individuals or corporations.
