I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This guy is in charge of US health care.

This was once a flashpoint of Republican outrage. For, like, ten years.

Trump Shows Off His Own Circle of Hell I’m the first guy to get a whole circle, it’s terrific. They evicted the Kennedys to put it in. Nobody, and I mean nobody else, has this much abyss...

"You should have seen how many demons came to my desecration. Packed like sardines. The noise was incredible. Biggest horde ever. They all wanted a piece of me. Good thing the pieces grew back. Very powerful agony!"

I'm excited to Bari Weiss to finally get the keys to the cathedral, only to find that there's not a big lever labeled "wokeness" in the control room, just a bunch of journalists doing their job that she now has to manage

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

The Trump administration has cancelled 4,304 deliveries to food banks so far this year, refusing to deliver 94 million pounds of contracted-for food. Food banks simply can’t feed people enough anymore. Millions of Americans are going hungry as a result.

Work really hard and one day this can be you (followed by graffiti of a headstone that says “RIP worked really hard” on it

Trump’s Flood of Emergency Appeals Is Straining the Judicial System The administration has turned to the Supreme Court at a record pace, and the justices have issued orders that lower courts have struggled to interpret.

For those lucky enough to not know this is a neo-Nazi meme normally found on TRS and the Daily Stormer being shared by the official DHS account.

@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

When you tie your security to a forecast, and the forecast is wrong, what do you have left?

But if you stop pretending you can see the path ahead, you start to pay attention to the things that matter: resilience, curiosity, nerve and grit.

Genuinely crazy how much we went from debates about body cams to "is the camera rolling? good. now watch me assault this dude."

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

There’s a New Lawsuit Against “Kavanaugh Stops.” It’s Absolutely Devastating. These detentions, far from the “brief” inconvenience the justice described, are often lengthy, violent, and dangerous.

“Kavanaugh stops” is a tremendous term term for cops racially profiling people and someone should start a crowdfunding effort to pay a bunch of SEC sorority influencers to popularize it on TikTok. We must fight fire with devastating trending topics slate.com/news-and-pol...
