While the killers of Renée Good and Alex Pretti walk free, the DOJ is busy bringing bogus charges against protesters. The Administration thinks intimidation will make us back down. They keep learning the same lesson: Minnesotans don't scare easily. We organize for our rights ✊🏽

🔸Pres. Trump’s US Food Aid Overhaul Drops the Countries Closest to Famine, Including Every Muslim-Majority One The Trump admin's revamped Food for Peace program is sending American-grown food to non-emergency countries while bypassing the places most at risk of famine, including Sudan, according...

This is not who we are. I became an ICE agent because I truly believed in the value of getting a $50,000 signing bonus to violently assault and terrorize anyone I wanted while never getting in trouble for anything. Being held accountable conflicts strongly with my deeply-held personal beliefs

This is what happens when the whole industry is compromised by the same issue that they are supposed to be reporting on

Sports media is failing fans. Two months ago, the NBA and MLB had players and coaches indicted by the federal government for placing bets on games. In previous eras, this would be a crisis. Now? Crickets.

Just rolled credits on Ghost of Yotei. A mostly by the numbers “revenge is bad” story that the medium seems to be infatuated with recently, it’s really brought to life by the implementation of its open world. Ēzo feels alive in a way that most OW games fail to realize. I had fun with it

So many internet counter arguments functionally boil down to “well idk about your data driven arguments, but my anecdotal experience is totally different, so you have to be wrong”. These people basically want you to treat their word as divine truth

"nearly all digital communities become incredibly toxic as a result of fundamental issues in how online socialization works" "What about [single example of a healthy community]" thank you for this incredibly salient counter argument.

🚨 New directive NSPM-7 targets "anti-capitalism," “anti-Christian,” and “anti-American" opinions as indicators of extremist violence, authorizing an army of 4,000 counter-terrorism officers to prevent crimes that haven't happened: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nsp...

ICE agents are, once again, proving that they are seemingly devoid of any sort of humanity. ACAB

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Got back on twitter and was actually enjoying myself for a bit until I had some Nazis in my mentions and then I quickly remembered why I left in the first place lmao

“It is a legitimate issue to live amongst your constituents within normal means” is a hell of a stance for the “working class” party to take

Hakeem Jeffries says of Cuomo's attacks on Mamdani for living in a rent controlled apartment: "It's a legitimate issue that has been raised, and the [Mamdani] campaign is going to have to address it."

Dude was about lock up Halle Berry for life and fumbled because he wanted a maid instead of a partner, couldn’t be me

Razzball@razzball.bsky.social

He told his friends “he married Halle Berry and expected her to cook” and those were not good friends because they weren’t like Dave, never say that again you sound incredibly dumb

“She didn’t cook” brother I would eat slop microwaveable tv dinners for the rest of my life and thank god above for the meal, that’s Halle fucking Berry my guy

Trump just federalized the DC police department and is sending in the national guard to brutalize homeless people under the completely false pretenses that the crime rate is skyrocketing when in actuality crimes lower than ever before, and CNN is acting like Trump is the messiah. We’re fucked

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social

CNN data guru Harry Enten calls the Epstein story a "nothingburger" because Google searches have fallen off in the past week, says Trump's approval rating is "pretty gosh-darn good" right now, and commends Trump for having "some of the best political instincts of any politician I‘ve seen."

I’m really not sure how you can watch this and come to the conclusion that the people at CNN and those working there are invested in America continuing on as a democracy. They’re basically washing their hands of assigning any morality to the situation

Not even an ounce of skepticism. What a fucking unbelievable journalistic malpractice we are witnessing rn

Real actual pedophiles are being given cushy stays and possible immunity to protect our pedophilic political elite while the guy who has worked at the mechanics shop around the corner for 20 years with a clean record is being black bagged off the street and disappeared because he’s brown

BREAKING on MSNBC: Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney has confirmed to NBC News that Maxwell has just been moved to a federal prison in Texas.   That prison — FPC Bryan in Bryan, TX — is a minimum-security federal prison camp.

Obviously American political life is largely a hellscape but God it’s been so satisfying watching all these liberal institutions flail about as they realize that nobody fucks with them or their bullshit stopgap policy positions anymore

Politico@politico.com

He once mocked a crying cop. Now he may run the nation’s largest police force. Zohran Mamdani will face a gauntlet of political pitfalls should he win the NYC mayoral race and find himself at the helm of the NYPD.
