If you’re a man in the room and a public official says this about your female colleague, you don’t continue as if nothing happened.

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

"even MTG is condemning the Gaza genocide!" false. absurd. the words of a maniac. she has simply determined that at present, her wholly unchanged Christofascist white supremacist goals are served more effectively by opposing Israel. in your heart you know she loses no sleep over dead Muslim children

something's going on behind the scenes in MAGA world and you will not catch ME giving any of these assholes credit for being on the right side of history on even one thing until I understand exactly why they've decided there's more safety in going against Trump on some topic than siding with him

Newsmax and MTG openly flouting Trump have me in eyeball emoji mode. I do not trust either of those stopped clocks to be accidentally right. there is palace intrigue afoot. rats leaving a sinking ship. is he crumbling into dust even worse than we're seeing? are they preparing to distance themselves?

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

the prospect of an American World Cup actually celebrating our immigrant/diasporic communities as they support the teams of their homelands would be so cool. Unfortunately FIFA has buddied up with the xenophobia administration and every ticket is going to be $8000

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

It’s essentially an emergency that you see One Battle After Another in the cinema immediately. Sean Penn will win an Oscar & it has the best car chase in many years. And those aren’t in the top 3 best things about the film. Jesus shitting Christ.

Kamala Harris: "The Supreme Court made the decision that the president would be immune from any of his conduct while in office. So we went into the election with this individual, Donald Trump, knowing that he would essentially be immune from any consequence for misbehavior while in office."

According to the victim's attorney, the body camera captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good”

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

If Trump goes away, they don't want to fade back into the background like when Biden was President. Trump is good for 'journalists' to become famous.

The way I completely forgot that most of the population does not know this about bones and archaeology. When you said she licked the rock, I was like 'Well, how else are you going to know if its bone or pottery?' Academia destroys your brain folks.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!
