We are changing our antifa secret handshake to slap-slap-fistbump-fistbump. Then you snap your fingers once, eat everyone's pets, and make everyone within 50' instantly become trans. Pass it along.

To understand the Trump administration’s vision for American education, @megomatz.bsky.social and I studied dozens of hours of political appointees’ speeches and podcasts and essays. What emerged is a desire to dismantle the nation’s system of public schools.

These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department.

Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of publ...

Dude get over here asap. The illusion of individuality is dissolving like a sandcastle before us and the consciousness that connects all things is embracing us in unity. We also got the original vhs print of ghost dad on in the background. The one where cosby's dick pops out his shorts in one scene.

You know what, i do deserve a little treat www.inquirer.com/food/restaur...

‘Little treat culture’ is fueling a Philly bakery boom. Here are a baker’s dozen new spots to get that bread.

Everyone, it seems, is saying it with flour — from national cookie chains with their leavened marketing budgets to mom-and-pop pop-ups. Here are some of the new bakery entrants out there.

This is probably the best time to be in organized crime since before the repeal of prohibition in 1933. I mean if you wanted to commit high level non-immigrant related crime, now is the time to go hog wild.

"The Chamber", my newest minicomic. 20 pages, black and white, digest sized. Going out to club members later this month www.patreon.com/posts/mike-d...

The cover to a minicomic entitled Mike Dawson's Magnum Opus THE CHAMBER, for mature-ish readers

Detail from the cover, we see different movie posters from the 1990's and four fellows lounging around their room, probably talking about one or the other of those indie films that they love

Someone is yelling at Mike Dawson to stop it!! He's making everyone uncomfortable because he won't shut up about Joe frickin' Matt!

I like that this is just official DOJ policy now

A three panel screen shot from The Office of the following exchange

Michael Scott, distressed: I am a victim of a hate crime

Stanley: that’s not what a hate crime is

Michael: well, I hated it a lot, okay?

incredibly, bleakly funny that trump is going after christopher wray, who spent his entire tenure at the fbi with his head down desperately trying to avoid trump's attention and did nothing to protect the bureau from trump's attacks www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Other prosecutors are investigating former CIA director John Brennan, another prominent Trump critic, and former FBI director Christopher Wray, who was originally appointed by Trump but enraged conservatives who came to believe he had wielded the bureau’s powers against them. Former officials have received subpoenas in recent days in the Wray inquiry, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.

One of my most John Brown coded opinions is that South Carolina should not have been readmitted to the Union after the Civil War and it's lands turned over the formerly enslaved who worked them.

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
