A city that burns down every night.

I mean, if we're just going to do this myth, Phoenix is *right there*

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

We need to start pointing this out - people hear the social media lies and then believe them. (Related: people are stupid)

Law students - note the way they remove any “apparent authority” argument through the sign.

The beautiful Eden Prairie Public Library. From a grocery store to a crown jewel of the Hennepin County library system. Minnesotans love their libraries.

A wide open space with high vaulted ceilings that feature striking square wooden panels in a lattice-like pattern. A window at the end allows light to shine into the space.

This is Manolo. His family invited strangers to spend time with him on his last day. His mom said, "This was such a perfect way to celebrate the life of a dog who truly loved spending time with people and their dogs. Run free and fast forever, Manolo. I will never stop missing you." 14/10 for all

Anyone who was paying attention during Gamergate recognizes these tactics.

“Oh *we’re* against doxxing, of course, but that person who got doxxed totally deserved it, and yeah, sure we’ve been calling for them to be fired and their lives ruined, but *we* didn’t personally do it.”

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 2d

This pretty much captures the contradictions of the politics of Kirk and Turning Point: Of course we oppose doxxing and violence, but we will absolutely use inflammatory language, false claims, and enemies list that fuels threats and intimidation.

Several days after publishing the petition calling for Dr. Bray’s dismissal from Rutgers, the Turning Point USA chapter added an update saying that it did not support harassment or the doxxing of him or anyone else.

“I think that all death threats and doxxing are unjustified and not how political disputes should be resolved in civilized society,” Ava Kwan, a Turning Point USA chapter member, said in an email on Wednesday.
But she defended the broader point of the petition, saying, “I think Dr. Antifa, who believes in violence as a political tool, should be fired, of course. Taxpayer money should not fund the salaries of terrorists.”

For years, Turning Point USA has maintained a watch-list of hundreds of professors whom the group accuses of advancing leftist propaganda in the classroom. Dr. Bray is on the list.

Democrats should be out there calling for the disbarment of any attorneys involved in a malicious, politically-motivated prosecution.

The Justice Department won an indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James Thursday.

The indictment makes James the second of President Trump’s political foes to be charged in the Eastern District of Virginia.

it's only racial profiling if it comes from the racial profiling region of france. otherwise it's sparkling reasonable suspicion.

McLaughlin: "Pritzker said there's racial profiling, which is absolutely false. Our officials use reasonable suspicion. That's protected under the US Constitution 4th Amendment."

Ah, I see what you’re saying - the present/future tense indicates that the “who” must be an insider rather than witness or outsider.

The fact that this coming 9 days before the largest peaceful protest in modern American history is absolutely intentional. We will not back down. Trump and Miller can lie, smear, and threaten all they want. They will lose. No Kings, No Kings, No Kings. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

CEOs were paid 281x as much as a typical worker in 2024.

The Trump-Republican big ugly bill not only cut taxes for CEOs, it also included a tax break that allows corporations to write off the cost of private jets faster.

Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

More Perfect Union @moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 2d

A majority of the 500 biggest U.S. companies now pay for their CEOs to fly on private jets.

I’m like “ooh, good, a Public Notice article on an important topic.” Then I opened the link and thought “AND Liz Dye wrote it? Sweet!” Was not disappointed to see Stephen Miller referred to as “Ragnarok enthusiast” 😂 dying!

Trump thinks he banned flag burning by rebranding it as incitement.

Oddly no one at the DOJ seems interested in testing out this spiffy new legal theory.

I totally feel this. I have major fundamental attribution error on the road. I assume the old white guy driving a pick-up in the city is a MAGAt driving that way because they’re selfish and don’t care about anyone else. Working on that error in therapy, tbh.

So. Much. Anger.

it's crazy how fast movies become dated. for instance, the 2021 movie "Don't Look Up" no longer makes sense, because if an American scientist discovered a planet-killing comet heading towards us today, their main response would be "oh thank fuck for that"
