All of this right here. Don’t let this one fade away.

Did anyone else see this today and wonder wtf happened?

Oopsie, Stephen.

Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area ICE facility and began to pray.

The masked ICE agents on the roof responded by firing pepper balls, with one striking him in the head

A summary of what Pam Bondi refused to answer today.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

This is horrifying.

Excellent piece by @LizBucar on what happens when you separate mindfulness from the other tenets of Buddhism, as Ezra Klein seems to have done. open.substack.com/pub/lizbucar...

Ezra Klein Just Showed Us Everything Wrong With Secularized Meditation

There’s a moment in Ezra Klein’s recent interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates that’s been bugging me.

They’re all laughing at you, Donald.

Albanian PM Edi Rama joked with Macron and Azerbaijani President Aliyev about Trump's claim to have ended the "conflict between Albania and Azerbaijan"—a war that never existed. The leaders laughed over Trump's mix-ups during a European summit in Copenhagen. The real deal was Armenia-Azerbaijan.

I met her signing her memoir in the late 1980s in LA. I still have the book, but I don’t remember reading it. The Little Princess is my favorite. The Blue Bird terrified me.

I can’t stop watching this. We need to celebrate every victory we can.

Chicago ICE attempted to apprehend a random delivery guy, but the delivery guy’s impressive escaping skills proved to be too much for the goons

Capt Kath @kathgirl1987.bsky.social · 11d

This is bullshit. I know a guy who grew up with him and said he was naked all the time and crazy. We already knew that last part.

Capt Kath @kathgirl1987.bsky.social · 11d

Oh FFS.

Capt Kath @kathgirl1987.bsky.social · 11d

They’re just the worst.

David Noll @david.noll.org · 11d

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

Ms. Halligan, who took over on Monday after her predecessor quit rather than prosecute James B. Comey with what he believed was insufficient evidence, had a little trouble with the first two tasks. At one point, she entered the wrong courtroom. When she found the right one, she stood on the wrong side of the judge, then appeared confused about the paperwork she just had signed.

I feel like I need to follow these people from the gif alone. No vetting necessary.

I’m on a cruise to Canada. Might stay if they’ll let me.

I can’t even get through the synopsis of the Epstein emails. They’re despicable.

Capt Kath @kathgirl1987.bsky.social · 12d

So now that Lindsay Halligan is going after Comey, is the Smithsonian safe? open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

The tragicomical indictment of James Comey

In a sane country this thing would be laughed out of court.

SHUT IT DOWN. Do not give them ANYTHING.

He definitely saw this coming.

There’s a reason I asked Pam Bondi if she was capable of saying “no” to the president.

Capt Kath @kathgirl1987.bsky.social · 17d

Boycotts work!

Steve M. @stevemnomoremister.bsky.social · 17d

Yes, I'm sure this is a response to the utter failure of the boycott.

It’s so crazy. It’s even happening to teachers in Massachusetts. Massachusetts.
