Always.

After NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was arrested by ICE, Gov. Kathy Hochul of NY stepped up and got him released! Stay strong, stay determined, Dems.

Y'all. Y'all!!! youtube.com/watch?v=hJjs...

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Los Angeles has ~3,400 unhoused veterans- the most in the country. The number of active troops deployed to LA now exceeds that. Those troops are all being housed and sheltered in the city with your tax dollars, while the veterans' very existence on the street has been criminalized by city ordinance

Disgusting! Spread the word. popular.info/p/verizon-an...

Padilla: The President, VP, and their allies have continued to call all the protesters out there insurrectionists. Yes, this is the same man who provoked an actual insurrection at our capitol on January 6.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? Author advances are paid *against royalties* and you have to earn out - make more than your advance - in order to get royalties In other words, an advance is actually a loan, they aren't REALLY paying you at all

You mean, you wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept.

The band playing "Fortunate Son" might have been the best part of the whole parade. In case you don't know the lyrics, here they are. A perfect gift for a flawed man.

We could have had this as our VP, instead of...that guy.

So. The Pinkertons. That news item that went around yesterday about Emily Blunt playing Kate Warne? It's from four years ago. Last solid news about the Kate Warne biopic was from 2023. It seems clear that the movie is trapped in development hell and won't ever appear. Which is a good thing. 1/

They’re cranking up the propaganda machine again: claiming Brad Lander “unlawfully interfered” and that ICE is just “enforcing Trump’s policy.” Reality: Lander stood up for civil rights. ICE’s conduct reflects a deeply troubling use of federal power.

When the birthday parade list reads like a cautionary guide to history.

Iran is our fault. Ours.and Britain's.

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

Glad we agree his dad is computer illiterate, but he can read his account balance and a guest list just fine.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

They don’t believe in any gods and can’t read the Bible. How can they possibly do the morally correct thing?

The pay for most comic book creators hasn’t gone up since the 1970s and very few comic book creators can make a decent living making comics.

Trump: We have to get rid of all the immigrants! Also Trump: Wait! Not those immigrants! I need to exploit those immigrants! popular.info/p/trumps-abr...

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

A bit of good news: A federal judge just ruled that the NIH must restore research grants cut under the banner of “gender ideology” and anti-DEI backlash. The judge—a Reagan appointee—was scathing, calling the cuts “palpable” racial and LGBTQ+ discrimination.

If we had proper data privacy laws that regulated and limited data brokers, we wouldn't need to pay for services like this - the status quo is a creation of legislative refusal to act, not an inevitability

LAPD shoves an unhoused woman to the ground so hard her skull cracks open and she’s knocked unconscious. They then carry her to the curb, prop her up and abandon her. Witnesses took her to the ER.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

America should deport all foreigners working in slaughterhouses and give their jobs to children. This takes advantage of a child's natural urge to torture and kill animals. by Stephen Miller

At the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, there’s a tomb for Alma House, an African American girl who was just 16 years old — and nine months pregnant — when she was lynched by a white mob. Trump wants us to forget about girls like Alma. Here's how ⤵️

No Kings protestors outnumbered Trump parade attenders by at least fifty to one. Also, protestors were marching with creative signs rather than sitting on their butts and staring at their phones. Here’s why all that’s bad news for Joe Biden.

If a "deeply religious" I Muslim had done this, they would call him what he is: a fanatic, a terrorist, and a heretic who rejected his faith's peaceful basis for fringe views mired in hate. apnews.com/article/minn...

Jimmy Carter had to give up his fucking PEANUT FARM. And we get...this bullshit? Goddamn insanity.

My wife saw this. If you do this, be sure to ask the correct questions to identify the immigration enforcement agents. They will use the fact that you likely don’t know the right questions to ask to justify not telling you. No, I am not joking.
