A Complimentary Profile Of Jason Lee That Was Surprisingly Difficult To Publish | Defector If you walked down Colorado Boulevard in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles at some point in the past three years, you might have noticed a modest, pueblo-style beige building with β€œPHOTO”…

"What caught me most off guard was that Lee didn’t just want to talk about something else or end the interview... Instead, he really wanted to 'challenge' me, as he put it, on the ethics of asking him about this." β€” @Naterogers.bsky.social for @Defector.com

Ten glorious years of a guy who has mostly been the president and always been the main character of American political life doing posts like this and everyone trying to figure out what cable news segment he saw, misunderstood in the way a dog might misunderstand a crossword, and made into policy.

Always remember: The Roberts Court is ALWAYS outcome oriented and only INCIDENTALLY β€œrule of law” when being so is convenient.

It's never "doing the right thing."

I love my community. People are seeing the reality of this reckless police force and they see what it is doing to communities, to children, and to our own sense of faith and trust in our institutions and it cannot continue.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Why Is Tulsi Gabbard Investigating the Wrong Georgia? Sidelined from her real job, she chases Trump conspiracy theories instead of problems overseas.

"Why would the director of national intelligence ignore the country of Georgia and instead investigate the state of Georgia? Because she’s not interested in foreign threats. She’s working with Trump to conquer the people he regards as his true enemy: blue America."

That mask is also popular with neo-Nazi accelerationist groups, which I think is really important to mention. Just like it's important to mention that ICE agents in Denver have been dropping Ace of Spades cards where they've kidnapped people. The white nationalist culture at work is clear.

They can't even refrain from lying when it comes to a straightforward statement of the law.

Of course this is Mike Johnson, so it could also just be that he's ignorant on what the law actually says.

A huge political earthquake in Texas tonight as Democrats flipped a State Senate seat from red to blue in a district Trump won by 17 points.

Trump personally waded in β€” endorsing the Republican and personally urging base turnout β€” and was dealt a massive loss.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?

You're absolutely right β€” you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Immigrants are good. They come here and make our lives (and theirs) richer, literally and metaphorically. All of this ICE terror is based on the lie that immigration is bad. All of this madness is just a country punching itself in the face for no reason at all.

Americans have a habit of trying to compare all authoritarianism to Nazi Germany. I think in some ways i think it is comforting to view authoritarianism as a foreign ideology. If you want to understand our current authoritarian moment, you need to look to our own past, not to Europe 1/x
