More Adventures in Detaining Brown People. Which the Supreme Court thinks is just peachy.

Actually, it does work like that now. The US Congress could pass a resolution giving Trump a Nobel Prize, the White House would host a formal ceremony, and within months it would become “true” for half of the country that Trump had won a Nobel Prize.

Rep. Buddy Carter: "Donald Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. That's why I'm introducing a resolution today that will honor him with the Nobel Peace Prize."

(It doesn't work like that lol)

Hey, DT, now that you don’t have to chase the Nobel Peace Prize for another year, this is a great time to release the Epstein Files!

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Yes, but didn't the Luftwaffe have a facility at Luke AFB during the Cold War?

This seems appropriate. Not the circumstances, the sentiment.

Good on Human Rights Watch for not letting them greenwash their filthy money and their consciences.

LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

I anticipate that it will become harder for the DoJ to get convictions in other cases.

Like it was after Spiro Agnew pled out.

Banana republic shit.

If the reported facts are accurately, this is going to be a colossal embarrassment for DOJ.

“I’ve placed circumcised and uncircumcised penises in my mouth and the circumcised ones tasted like autism.”

FactPost @factpostnews.bsky.social · 1d

RFK Jr: Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol.

Trump: There's a tremendous amount of of proof or evidence. I would say as a non-doctor, but I've studied this a long time

Am I an asshole for rooting for the Blue Jays in the playoffs, because if they win, that'll drive MAGA and Dementia Patient One absolutely batty.

Pee-Wee German (he/himmler) might even suffer another case of on-camera brainlock.

It’s not racial profiling, it’s reasonable suspicion, we simply think anyone with darker skin tones is suspicious and that this belief is reasonable, so it’s not racial profiling, how dare you.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 23h

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."

According the victim's attorney, body camera footage 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.”

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.
