Massive Attack 👏👏👏👏

I just want one reporter, ONE, to say “there’s a lot more evidence that you are a rapist than Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13.”

It’s really normal and great that I need to self-censorship myself over a particular country online.

Two backpacking German teenagers who had obtained ESTA approval from DHS were detained by CBP at the Honolulu airport, strip searched, jailed overnight, and ultimately deported to Japan because immigration officials weren’t satisfied with their lodging arrangements. beatofhawaii.com/why-these-ha...

Imagine basing so much of your public identity on your adult conversion to Catholicism, only to be publicly dismissed by the actual Catholic hierarchy.

Never fails

Bottom line: Trump a week ago, Trump told America that the full tariff package was a “liberation”. Today, he largely, though not completely, reversed course. Therefore, by his own logic America is less liberated than it was. The weakest day of his presidency so far.

Don’t remember where I saw this library flyer a while back but it’s great

[Werner Herzog voice] Faced with 50% tariffs, the penguin walks off into the interior of the vast continent. With 5,000 kilometers ahead of him, he's heading towards certain death.

NEW: Per a source with knowledge, the entire HHS Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy, or OIDP, was just fired.

An October 2024 story about Russell Vought captured the breadth and ferocity of the coming attack on the federal government. So why didn’t this story drive more of a national conversation when it appeared?

Casey: There’s this whole mentality that MAGA has painted—like you’re either MAGA or you’re, you know, drinking soy lattes or whatever. But there are a lot of people who are just like, “We’re just regular people—we don’t want a dictator, we don’t want to see people’s benefits ripped away..”

If yis didn’t already know how thick Fox ‘News’ presenters are, they think Michéal Martin is ‘very socialist & very left’. Ya wha? *Spits coffee all over keyboard *. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂😂 #Ireland

Surprised to see so many headlines from news outlets suggesting Putin has agreed to a ceasefire. He’s done no such thing. He’s basically said he would do in theory, providing his conditions are met, on his terms. Which is just a variation on what he’s always said.

Show us the way, teenage girl in New Jersey.

Elon Musk Begins Cabinet Meeting By Putting Index Finger Through Fly Of Pants

Worth stating simply what’s happening. An American government is launching a full-scope political & economic assault on an ally repelling an ongoing invasion to compel them to terminate martial law, topple their president, hand over minerals to America & accept a ceasefire w/out security guarantees.

Protestors skiing with signs to humiliate JD Vance is fantastic

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)

Macron’s face. 😂😂

White House access is worthless. Leave it to the propagandists. Time to return the press passes and go report on real world impact.

Legitimately the stupidest man alive I cannot fucking STAND this shit

WOW: Canadians ruthlessly BOO the United States during the singing of the National Anthem before their game in the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off. Three fights then erupt between the two teams within the first 10 seconds of the game.

Gerry Connolly: "It is a matter for Congress to deal with, not an unelected billionaire oligarchy named Elon Musk. And Elon, if you want to run USAID, get nominated by Trump and go to the Senate and good luck in getting confirmed."
