You’d think having five women accuse you of rape, in addition to the one you defamed AND your now-deceased ex-wife, would encourage people to not vote for you. Instead it just makes the rest of us never want to be alone in the company of Trump supporters. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

no matter how sure you are that these guys have broken a whole bunch of laws, you aren't nearly as certain as they are

“Several conservative organizations …— including the Heritage Foundation and American Moment — have pressed White House counsel to either prepare pardons or put in place funding for the legal fees necessary to defend junior staffers from criminal and congressional probes or potential lawsuits.”

The leatherback turtle dines almost exclusively on jellyfish, which are ~95% water & low in nutrients, so they consume massive amounts every day. This terrifying view is their esophagus, filled with keratin-based 'papillae', designed to snag the soft tissues of their prey to avoid losing a meal.

As if that's a good reason. You don't see Raytheon or Northrop revoking licenses during wars

Musk said he restricted Starlink in Ukraine- causing fast moving drones to lose connectivity - and that he had every right to do so because of some terms of service or contract that he didn't show us. (He didn't address suddenly doing this with no warning to Kyiv.) www.cnbc.com/2026/10/24/u...

I also want people to understand that, when a "Department of Homeland Security" was first created, critics warned it was a boondoggle with ghastly historical precedents that could be used in precisely this way; they were derided as terror-loving hysterics bsky.app/profile/robe...

something very funny about Alito's book is that he acknowledges that originalism arose as a backlash to Supreme Court decisions but refuses to say which decisions just doing that "'i'm being silenced for my views!' 'which views?' 'oh you know the ones'" thing ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

Barred and Boujee aka Madiba Dennie@audrelawdamercy.blacksky.app

I truly had no desire or intention to engage with Alito's originalism book but when a Supreme Court justice's little history of the right-wing's obsession with "history" just tries to sidestep its fundamentally racist origins, well, ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

however richly some of them deserve it, it’s notably only the women of the administration being fired over its poor performance to date
