Trump 2 has shown that the bulk of federal, state, and local "law enforcement" don't perform any useful functions at all. If they did, it would not be so easy to re-task them to brainless gestapo work like rounding up whole neighborhoods and waiting outside public buildings.

I wrote about how immigration arrests are at all-time highs, even as ICE is trying to assume a lower public profile. How are they doing this? Look to your local police.

Just want to remind folks that this keeps happening. Burials of assumed-important ancients discovered to be women via genetic testing, after decades of them simply being assumed to be male. The patriarchy is incompatible with reality.

The #BronzeAge #UptonLovellShaman​'s burial in Wiltshire has long been considered an important religious figure & metalworker. It's been barely questioned someone of such status must be male. But now #aDNA analysis revealed that the body is in fact: a woman. 🏺 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I love the people who are like "there's gonna be a robust, seedy black market for meat purchased from Zohran's Communist grocery stores." These people have never been aggressively pitched stolen steak out of the back of a Honda Civic before? Non-desperate people don't buy random sidewalk meat.

Alex Jones, who has not paid a single cent to the Sandy Hook families despite owing them $1.4 billion, has been in a $3,000 per night suite in Hawaii for the last few weeks illegally using the InfoWars accounts to boost his traffic. Today he said there's going to be a national draft in three weeks.

And just as the corporate media continues to ignore Trump's threats to them, they'll continue to ignore Musk's threats to them too. They'll happily stay on his website and write gullible pieces about his latest promises. When you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

Musk is calling for the assassination of a journalist. It's so difficult to comprehend why someone in his position would do such a thing that we naturally give him the benefit of every doubt, but it's crystal clear what he's saying.

A dark money campaign is offering influencers $1,500 per post to attack Abdul El-Sayed and support Haley Stevens. Same exact dollar figure that was paid to attack @katmabu.bsky.social (Nobody ever found out who was paying for that campaign.) Gross, lazy and above all cynical shit.

Secret paid influencer campaign backing Stevens floods Michigan Senate race

Rep. Haley Stevens and the Senate Democratic PAC said they were not involved in the effort to pay for user-generated content endorsing her.

this is actually the exact kind of white collar crime we should be going after harshly stuff like “I am one of the elite so I can commit endless tax fraud to support a gambling habit without consequences” is extremely corrosive to the entire structure of civil society

BREAKING: Prodigious US Supreme Court lawyer and SCOTUSblog co-founder Tom Goldstein was sentenced to six years in prison on Friday following his convictions on federal tax and mortgage fraud charges early this year.

WNBA player Brianna Turner of the Las Vegas aces defended trans people on X in the wake of the Sophie Cunningham comments and then highlighted how the Heritage Foundation now wants to end Title IX.

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Brianna Turner (@_Breezy_Briii) from July 22.
​The main text of the post reads:
​“Because exclusion is never the answer...trans lives matter”
​Beautifully said. I’ve been an advocate for the trans community since I entered the WNBA. So many takes about them are based on fear mongering and bigotry.
​Below this is a quote tweet from Andrew Dukowitz (@adukeMN) posted on July 17, which reads:
​Cheryl Reeve on the trans sports bans from her perspective of being a leader in women’s sports
​“Of course it weighs on me, the attacks on trans people, the attacks that they’ve gone through...”
​Attached to Dukowitz's post is a video thumbnail showing Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve being interviewed by reporters in a hallway with a Minnesota Lynx and Mayo Clinic backdrop. The video timestamp indicates it is 1 minute and 50 seconds long.​A screenshot of a post on X by Brianna Turner (@_Breezy_Briii) posted at 10:10 AM on Jul 24, 2026.
​The main text of the post reads:
​The Heritage Foundation, which laid the groundwork for Project 2025 & influences much of the current administration’s policies, recently released a report calling for the dismantling of Title IX in an effort to increase opportunities for male athletes & suppress female athletics
​Below the text are two side-by-side image attachments:
​The left image contains italicized text outlining the mission statement of The Heritage Foundation, which states they are building an America where freedom and civil society flourish, and that their mission is to promote conservative public policies based on "free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense."
​The right image shows a document header from The Heritage Foundation labeled "First Principles Applied | No. 02 Gender and Equality". The title of the document is "Title IX’s Failed Experiment: Why Accommodating Sex Differences Beats Engineered Parity" by Scott Yenor. An introductory paragraph below the title argues that Title IX has become an engine of "feminist social engineering," stating that differences between the sexes are not merely stereotypes and arguing for an approach that "accommodates the partly natural, partly cultural differences between the sexes."

The wretched culture war buffoons aside, I am glad The Odyssey is making a ton of money because it is truly a movie made for 35-45 year olds. Hollywood can comb reddit looking for horror movies but we also need movies for couples that go to Olive Garden twice a month for date night

It's been a minute since I passed this around. If you are in the AP space or interested in seeing what folks are doing, I recommend you check out my list of active accounts here.

No ICE agent has been prosecuted or criminally charged for a fatal shooting despite some of these murders being caught on camera in broad daylight. Apparently if you want to get away with murder, just join ICE.

THREAD: The boy is called a liar. He’s told not to defend himself. Then the private school owner encourages all of his peers to attack him, one by one. She hits him, repeatedly, with a plastic pipe-like object. How does this school still exist — and receive state funds? 🧵
