My closing pitch to voters? “I will only live in this awful place if I rule over it”

Always told liberals Bill Maher was a racist piece of shit, especially against Muslims and Arabs, and we were ignored for years. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Bill Maher Slams Mamdani And Endorses Cuomo But Admits 'Maybe He Was A Little Too Handsy'

The "Real Time" host also said Zohran Mamdani was born in a country "where they kill homosexuals" and brought up the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The only way out of this is for local or state law enforcement to start arresting these guys in the camo for assault. Toss them in jail, @govpritzker.illinois.gov. Get their names public, get their mug shots on TV. Let them litigate. But show strength in opposition.

Genuinely crazy how much we went from debates about body cams to "is the camera rolling? good. now watch me assault this dude."

How many Americans know that Taylor Swift put out a new album vs. know that the president just told the military that he was going to unleash it on "the enemy within" shortly after his SecDef told it that it was going to become more brutal & lethal, with fewer restraints? What's the ratio? 10/1?

This is really important.

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

Is that effective campaign messaging? I don’t know & I don’t care. It’s true. It’s my job to discover and say things that are true. The radicalization of the American right is *the* political story of my lifetime and the public should know about it. Politicians can do what they like with that.

He lives in a fantasy world and he's directing that our military be allowed to kill protesting civilians. There's really no other way to read this.

Trump says he authorizes Hegseth to deploy the military to Portland, which he lyingly calls "war ravaged," and says he is authorizing "full force."

This is 5 alarm fire f*cked. If Trump can weaponize the DOJ to prosecute anyone for any ginned up reason, no one is safe. He's testing the waters with Comey -- a guy nobody likes. We gotta mount a backlash as if it were Dolly Parton or Baby Yoda he was going after. abcnews.go.com/US/former-fb...

Former FBI Director James Comey indicted days after Trump demanded his DOJ move 'now' to prosecute enemies

Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted just days after President Trump issued a public demand for the DOJ to act "now" to prosecute him, sources say.

I miss my 50-year streak of not knowing who the Secretary of Health is or anything about them.

Even Teddy Roosevelt (our least "woke" president ever) called Wounded Knee "a massacre," in which "squaws, children, unarmed Indians, and armed Indians who had surrendered were killed, sometimes cold-bloodedly and with circumstances of marked brutality." 5/

Fortunately, history does not work as Hegseth seems to believe. It is never "settled" and the government cannot (at least for now!) impose its interpretation of events on the rest of us--especially an interpretation so at odds with the historical record. 6/

if you dont stop calling us nazis we will have the secret police disappear you to a slave labor camp

Weirdly, she didn't seem concerned about the guy who sprayed the CDC with 500 rounds and killed the police officer there. We know the motive was right wing anti-vax conspiracy theories. But whatever.

Noem: "We know that the way this building was covered with bullet holes, which was discovered after the shooting happened, we saw that literally the building was showered with bullets and when we saw the ammunition and how it was marked as well that's helping investigators find out the motive"

Billionaires, lawyers, college presidents you can stand up for the rest of us anytime….. I know it might be inconvenient but this guy is driving us into a ditch

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 10mo ago

oh my god lol -- Trump calls for UN workers to be arrested because his escalator didn't work yesterday

Leading national political reporters vowed that never again would they look the other way when a president was showing every sign of being too debilitated to do the job

It’s not surprising that Paris Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social would be the target of a far-right attack campaign before next year’s election chooses her successor. She’s been a celebrated success with a unique legacy of better city-making & they attack anything good that’s successful. #BadgeOfHonour

Pr Carlos Moreno - IAE Paris1 Sorbonne University@carlosmorenofr.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Year after year, @annehidalgo.bsky.social Hidalgo has been recognised worldwide as an exceptional mayor, profoundly shaping contemporary urban planning. No jealousy, nor the smear campaigns fuelled by hatred, will ever erase her remarkable contribution & her unwavering commitment to the common good

I feel like there is a genuine challenge journalists face here: Bondi isn't going to charge him. Any judge* will toss the case. I bet most DOJ lawyers will resign, and pro bono lawyers will jump. This is about intimidation. This is about this very headline.

Pam Bondi Threatens Charges Over Office Depot Employee Who Refused To Print Charlie Kirk Flyers: ‘We Can Prosecute You’

WTF is this? Normalizing authoritarianism repression as an electoral strategy www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I continue to be amazed at the absolute lack of courage

Of course it’s frustrating on the backdrop of people getting fired, expelled from school, detained & kicked out of the country for upsetting any white person with a cell phone, to remind yourself that the global cancel culture dust up was created by people who envisioned a society just like this.

/3 Previously it has been the Right that more reliably asserted that “hate speech” was not a First Amendment exception. But the Right’s pretense to caring about actual freedom of speech has been revealed to be sheer bunk.

/2 Promoting civic ignorance is an absolutely central component of the project of Trumpism.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right
