Kristi Noem Didn’t Give a Sh*t About ‘the Details’ Such as a woman who was here legally and helped the homeless—but was then deported anyway.

NEW: Here's the story of a woman deported by Kristi Noem. Legally in the United States (as a DACA recipient), she is the mother of a U.S. citizen and was working to help the homeless—but when she went for an appointment to get a green card, she was deported.

TFW the nostalgia of another is so vivid, I could mistake it for my own.

Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."

Once again.

Thank you both. I should really get around to it eventually!

Well, yes, the context was obvious, but I was still curious.

Oh, haha. Still haven't gotten around to it after all these years.

THIS.

I don't recognize it, Farel. What show is this sequence from?

Exclusive: Prior to Iran attacks, CIA assessed Khamenei would be replaced by hardline IRGC elements if killed, sources say In the run-up to the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Saturday, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency assessed that even if Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the operation, he would likely be replaced by hardline figures from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), two sources briefed on the intelligence said.

I'm sad to hear of Tatjana's passing, but how wonderful to know she had 99 years on this Earth. Tatjana was a dear friend to us peons in DC production back in the early '80s. She will be missed indeed. 🤍

Write accessibly!

It's so much more fun when readers understand what you've written and decide that you're wrong than when they *don't* understand but assume that you're right.

We live next door to a funeral home and they had to set up trailers in the parking lot. For the first month of lockdown, we timed the ambulance sirens and they were coming between 3.5-5 minutes, 24/7.

At least half a dozen top Trump administration officials appear in the Jeffrey Epstein files The degree to which each individual was connected to Epstein varies significantly, from a single email to years of communications.

The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it.

Seems kinda bad?

Here’s the thing… a dusty, used-up, gravel-sounding, lying, murderous eugenicist who snorted blow off a toilet seat *is* the best that MAGA can find to do the job. Nobody else is any better than this scumbag. That’s the problem, they’re all this venal. It’s a jobs program for the scum of the earth.

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries.

It does this by stripping food away from children, the disabled, and the working poor.

Not one more penny.
