Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.

I am happy to say that _Good Boy_ was a really enjoyable bit of classic exploitation filmmaking -- have a great gimmick (ie, the doggo as the central character), go to town. (He makes it through and isn't hurt but there's a couple of slightly rough moments.) Stick around through the end credits.

Star Of The Horror Film 'Good Boy' Doesn't Know He Was Ever In A Movie

In “Good Boy,” filmmakers Ben Leonberg and Kari Fischer, turn the camera on their dog Indy, making him the center of the horror film. Not that he knows it.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

Would seem to me that a Congressman beating his girlfriend and having a judge order a restraining order against him is "really serious..."

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

the admin that imprisoned and tried to deport a student over a pro-Palestinian op-ed, calling it anti-semitism, calls outrage over "I love Hitler" texts by young Republicans "pearl-clutching"

Radley Balko @radleybalko.bsky.social · 7h

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

So the "next frontier" is that they will keep kidnapping our neighbors, terrorizing our communities, and pulling guns on us in the street, but Dems will fight for them to be unmasked while doing it? I bet they'll just put those gas masks on a little more often. They love gassing our neighborhoods.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 4h

This is good: Rep Eric Swalwell tells me House Dems are now discussing making an end to mask-wearing a precondition for ICE funding.

"When we are in the majority, the masks are coming off," he says.

This is the next frontier in anti-Trump resistance.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

We are not naive here about injustice, corruption, exploitation or indifference. If the Houston government wants to raze West Mabou, Hunters Mountain and Coxheath using back-room handshakes, they can expect a fight from people who were raised on standing the gaff.

A parody of the movie poster for "One Battle After Another" except it says "One Rattle After Another" and features Skinner, Chalmers, and Ralph from The Simpsons (based on a famous scene where Ralph asks "what's a battle?" and Skinner tries to convince Chalmers he said "what's that rattle?")
