As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel

Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

Sliders are popular at tailgating parties because they feed a crowd, are good at room temperature and can be eaten with one hand. This ham-and-cheese version from Lidey Heuck is savory-sweet and can easily be doubled.

The Final Tribal of #Survivor Micronesia is some bullshit. These questions from the jury suck, they're all just bitter to have been voted off. Can't believe the outcome.

Gotta think the ideal Villeneuve Bond is something very close to Skyfall. Would have loved to see the series go a little lighter, towards MI:Fallout, but alas.
Optimal director for that route? Verbinski IMO.

Chilling. They are saying that simply taking action in opposition to US foreign policy is grounds for deportation.

Think of the proud lineage of protests against US-backed wars, coups, torture...

The judge said the Trump administration’s evidence – a two-page letter from Secretary of State Marco Rubio – is sufficient to deport Khalil under an obscure legal provision.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Every time you see what sounds like a wild claim about woke research, you can assume a) it will fall apart under the most basic of inspection, b) the person making the claim will never be held accountable for lying, and c) it is a cover to gut useful research that we benefit from.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.

Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research

President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.
