Never let a single goddamned person on the Right ever claim again that they’re the party of law and order without laughing in their lying face.
So Capitol Police officers were assaulted and injured on Jan 6th, the White House today is blaming them for the violence, and the people who attacked them have been pardoned and are back to mock and abuse them on the 5th anniversary.

And the GOP is the party of the police? Really? REALLY??
White House's newly-posted "timeline" of Jan 6 blames Capitol Police for Jan 6, which included an attack on ..... Capitol Police

So it's appropriate to arrest a world leader if you consider them criminal? You can just go get them? Just asking questions here.

In her New Year's message, UFW President Teresa Romero shares that farm workers are facing many challenges with the current administration. The UFW will continue to fight for the men and women who are out there harvesting our food and asks you to stand with them. Si Se Puede!

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

these fucking people. they pass laws to make sure every person with a screw loose who wants an Armalite can show up to the day care armed & ready to kill, then complain that the day cares are locked to protect the children inside
CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.”

SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.”

CNN: “No, every day care is locked.”

SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔

He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.

It's weird that everyone is doing their 2025 closure a good 12 hours before Trump will be done with whatever horribles he has planned.

It could yet get worse!!

As many of us begin Christmas meal prep, allow me to share the advice that my ER nurse sister puts in the chat every year:

A dropped knife has no handle. Jump away. Let it fall. You can pick it up and wash it.

Great thread on the 60 MINUTES segment that Bari Weiss spiked
This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment.

It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

Trans people are people. Trans kids are an issue between the kids, the parents, and licensed healthcare professionals. Stop being weird about it.

trans kids, we are going to keep fighting for you. you don't deserve to have to wait and suffer

if god forbid you do have to wait until you're 18, I'm so sorry. there is still a future. I started this socially at 38 and HRT at 39

but we are not going to give up on you
In this calm after infinite baseball and before football, I just want to note it's National Coming Out Day

It will always be some degree of scary because you're putting your heart on the line, an exposure of your real self without any protective layers of ironic detachment

But it's been worth it.

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.

I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.
We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
