in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Now with #AltText

A black background has white text at the top that says “amphifa.” Two flags over each other, common antifa flags, have a black flag and a green one. An image of a green frog facing left with a blue ascot sits on the black flag. Circling the flags is the text, “amphibians against fascism.”

Tron: Ares delivered. Incredible film, well done third in the series, Jared Leto is kinda perfect for the role. Excellent way to look at AI as it changed since first film. Loved this movie!
Bonus: saw it in DBOX seats, haptic system. Ideal film to use them for.

There are more of us than there are of them—and we know our right to assemble peacefully and protest. I’m counting on my fellow Americans to prove that at the No Kings protest on Oct. 18.

We all have a role to play. Saving democracy demands that each of do all that we can.

I for one will soon be on the barricades telling ornate, detailed jokes about what I've done with the relentless and grateful mothers of Guardsmen and ICE warriors.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

We are 48 to 72 hours away from Maga Nazis deciding to make the "American Awards" and they'll give the Peace award to the Cheeto and make it the most laughable awards since the Razzies. SNL could have fun with this.

“You’re watching the NFL on LSD! The Giants have a 3rd and long on their 43 but look out there’s a giant panda on the field and he’s hungry for pancakes!”

If the NFL offered a streaming service that was just Al Michaels calling or commenting on the weeks’ game while tripping balls, I’d subscribe immediately.

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 1d

The audio on the Prime feed of the Giants-Eagles game is screwed up, slowing down and stuttering, which means it repeatedly sounds like Al Michaels is tripping balls.

Anyone who thinks defending the poor is divisive needs to go and re-read (or maybe just read) the Gospels

www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’

Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I really don't think this is going to play out the way Republicans want it to. Most people on the right didn't know who Charlie Kirk was until he got shot. They don't care enough about him for the martyrdom act to go very far, even if their politicians push it: thebarbedwire.com/2025/10/08/k...

Charlie Kirk Championed Free Speech. The Texas GOP Is Using His Murder to Crush It.

Hours after announcing ‘undercover operations’ into leftist groups, Ken Paxton compared Charlie Kirk to Jesus at a Turning Point USA event.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

This is getting wild.

The states of Iowa, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and 14 others have just asked for permission to file THEIR amicus brief in IL v. Trump.

The States of Iowa, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina and 14 additional States
respectfully move for leave to submit the attached amicus curiae brief in support of Defendants
and their opposition to Plaintiffs’ requested temporary restraining order and preliminary
injunction. Proposed amici are States with a vested interest in federalism, the relationship between
States and the federal government, and deploying the National Guard. We also each have a vital
interest in supporting the President and Congress in enacting and enforcing valid immigration
laws. Every State has a responsibility to protect our citizens.
The federalization of States’ National Guard units is a matter of profound public
importance, as it directly implicates the delicate balance of power between state and federal
governments—a true cornerstone of Federalism. States generally maintain authority over their
National Guard units, allowing governors to deploy them for state-specific needs, such as disaster
response or public safety. Federalization of state National Guard units without gubernatorial

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

I am the General Counsel of Antifa.
