David Lynch passed a year ago today. I hope we all can absorb just a little bit of the energy he put out in his lifetime.

It's actually a good thing that previously apolitical normies are finally getting angry and starting to speak out. We need the numbers in the streets and at the polls.

If your response to them is "no, fuck you, too late," then you don't actually care about stopping Trump. You're just preening.

I'm hearing about this in a few states. My big question is whether it is preparation for a crackdown on resistance to ICE operations, or a preemptive crackdown on anti war protesters after the planned invasion of Greenland
my friend is a postal worker in minneapolis and they all got letters at work today to show to police to prove they are essential workers authorized to be out. i guess we're to the "papers please" era now officially.

If either happens we have three big questions to answer next: which cities will they try to lock down? How many do they THINK they can hold down with sufficiently regime-loyal forces? Any how many cities and states can they ACTUALLY lock down?

if you still believe "don't take Trump literally, listen to him symbolically" in 2026 you are not intelligent enough to qualify as sentient.

Shit like this is why they'll lose, in the long run. It's just a question of how many of us survive their defeat.

Love to see our venerable fourth estate cover the President going after the Fed chair for not sufficiently lowering rates as, you guessed it, horse race/reality show “clapback” bullshit

It’s very convenient: No matter what she did, you can claim she was disobeying police orders. Which in the minds of a depressing number of people with a taste for boot leather, merits summary execution.
Officer 1: “Get out of the car!”
<simultaneously>
Officer 2: “Get out of here!”

The confusion is not surprising. The shooting officer had his phone out too.

This deserves a clear and fair investigation

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Where do I go to get my apology from all the folks on both sides and center of the political spectrum who insisted Trump wasn't a warmonger or imperialist and would be different to the Democrats and Republicans and (especially) neocons who came before him?

Maduro's not a good guy, agreed. But neither is Putin, and Trump rolled out the red fucking carpet for him. It's not about dope, it's about oil (which kinda IS dope).
Just when you think Trump has hit the gutter, he bounces lower.

He's mad she won the Nobel Peace Prize and he didn't. That's it. That's what it's all about. Best part is she idiotically and sycophantically dedicated her prize to him and he still won't back her and prefers to publicly denigrate on a day like today.
Trump on María Corina Machado: "I think it'd be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn't have the support or the respect within the country. She's a very nice woman but she doesn't have the respect."

It's a credit to his acting that I never thought of him as Italian, even though his name was Viggo. If you'd asked me previously what his ethnicity was I'd have just said "the blood of Numenor, obviously."

Congratulations, those of you who decided to platform fringe voices and create a climate of fear and hate out of ignorance because those voices insisted a non-problem was a problem. They're now on an HHS stage trying to ruin children's lives. You will live with the harm you have done forever.
