Donald Trump incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol. Hundreds of dangerous felons who brutally beat police officers with impunity were then pardoned by the President on his first day in office. Don’t ever lecture America about law and order.

the thing about "mutual aid" discourse is that it's just "why can't charity just replace government handouts" discourse, but from the left

Jake Tapper invented a statement by Rashida Tlaib and he’s still on TV!

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

good morning

Tom Homan: We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor Bass should be thanking us. She says they are going to mobilize—guess what? We are already mobilizing. We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight

>we would have won if we simply were let off the leash and went harder The cult of the operator pervades

I keep saying this, and I feel like a broken record, but there must be consequences for this. Any Democrat that will stand in the way of these monsters being punished to the fullest extent of the law needs to be viciously primaried before or during the 2028 cycle.

A dictator can't start disappearing people before consolidating power. And Trump was never going to be able to consolidate power. I still mourn for what he has done and will yet do to our country, but he won't achieve most of his goals in the end.

Weekend transit service from cities to trailheads seems to be a growth market. A data point from Seattle.

I feel like the President of the United States threatening a private citizen if they support the rival political party should be a big story? - “If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News. “He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that,” he added. -

You gotta wonder what the latino voters who pulled the lever for the "mass deportations now" guy are thinking rn

i think it's really cool that like 50% of all municipal budgets go to fund guys who milk overtime to do this between 2 part time gigs body guarding where they also clock overtime when they're not playing candy crush on duty

Happy D-Day to all of those that celebrate!

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

Elon Musk supplanted the entire Republican fundraising apparatus, and now he's breaking up the party. this is the most difficult "critical support" I've ever had to indicate

sometimes I regret warping my brain being so online. but not today. oh no, not today.

*sweating profusely* haha yeah... it sure has been a long, um, six months hahaha

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Yes… Hahaha… Yes!

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

This is the fucking way

the left was ripping Biden to shreds for inflation as early as 2022, as he was pushing for full employment in the face of bosses howling about labor and product costs. they attacked him for not cancelling student debt, and when he did and the Supreme Court overturned it, argued it was a ruse

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

The Bremerton City Council just voted 6-1 to become the fourth Washington city to completely drop any mandated off-street parking in new development, following in the steps of Spokane, Port Townsend, and Bellingham.

Not only was it the right thing to do to draw attention to the Trump administration violating this man's rights; it also hurt Trump. This despite immigration being Trump's "strongest issue." It's June 2025 not November 2026, you should be trying to shape public opinion not letting it lead you.

Killing hundreds of thousands of children to save absolutely nothing.

*trying extremely hard not to launch a multi-post thread about how the achievements of more moderate presenting LGBT activists have been systematically erased from the historical memory by those who value radicalism over results, leaving gaslit normie queers to stew in doubt and self-loathing*

we can actually write a new budget act and actually set a budget process that we can actually stick to instead of just living in the loopholes of statutes we half ignore

in a lot of ways the US remains locked into the 1970s, particularly in procedural and regulatory regimes

This amendment is up for a vote TOMORROW, and it's likely to be very close. If you care about ST3, consider giving public comment either in person or by calling in, or emailing [email protected] asking to reject any amendment from CM Rivera adding additional requirements to light rail permits.

Congress is about to pass a stablecoin bill that, experts say, will reopen ways of destabilizing the financial system that have been closed for decades talkingpointsmemo.com/news/some-de...

Remember what I said about the conservative movement being dedicated to installing fifth columnists around the country to sabotage institutions they hate?

It brings me intense joy to see these highly armed commando paramilitary freaks face down a mob of enraged moms and long-haired hippie dudes, visibly lose their nerve, and decide they better gtfo before this turns into black hawk down

Right, and I can't believe Obama shattered the public's faith in government by hiding his true Kenyan origins.

Imagine assembling a secret armory piece by piece in enemy territory over the course of more than a year, programming all the attacks you need to make, doing a perfect exfil with no one the wiser, and then pushing a button and activating your pre-preparaed attack. That is what happened. Remarkable.

Your key takeaway from the brilliant Ukraine attack with small drones into Russia shouldn’t be “wow, small drones make it so easy to score huge hits,” it should be “wow, Ukrainians are insanely good at covertly planning and executing extraordinarily difficult missions of which drones are one part”.

The thing is that running for office is probably legitimately one of the worst white collar professional experiences you can have that doesn’t involve physical or legal risk. It fucking sucks and is horrible. And the higher quality the candidate is the worse it is compared to their other options.
