The Discourse has become sort of numb to the fact that the richest guy on earth and owner of a major social media platform just routinely spits out the kind of nakedly white supremacist shit that until a decade ago you rarely saw outside of places like Stormfront.
Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
BREAKING: New York City reports the lowest levels of shootings, shooting victims, and murders ever recorded for the first two months of a year. Major crime is down nearly 8% citywide, burglary hit a record low, and retail theft dropped 25%
Excellent advice right here.
People who believe in an imminent Rapture/Armageddon don't have anything invested in what happens to you here on Earth. You are irrelevant to them and will be treated accordingly.
The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M, to detain 4k people of whom only 30 were accused of violent crimes.
$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Plus two citizens murdered.

Every accusation an admission. As usual.
The only question left by the Supreme Court decision on tariffs is:
What the fuck is wrong with Thomas, Alito, and Kavenaugh?
The Constitution could not say more clearly that only Congress has the power to impose taxes.
Can't those three justices umderstand a simple, direct English sentence?
DHS: Our officer was ambushed and beaten with snow shovels and broom handles. This was an attempted murder of federal law enforcement.
ICE says federal agents appear to have lied about confrontation that led to shooting
Agents had initially said that two men — Alfredo Aljorna and Julio Sosa Celis – assaulted them with a broom and a shovel before one of them shot Sosa Celis. But that account was quickly called into question, and prosecutors now say “newly discovered evidence” contradicts the officers’ story.
The default assumption should be that they’re lying
Gestapos opened fire, striking Martinez 5 times in the arm, chest & both legs
1 gestapo had body cam ... Martinez has said in court that it shows an officer shouting "do something b--"
The gestapo who shot her, in a group text: "I fired 5 rounds & she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys."
The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll
Straight up meesage from the pres to ICE: shoot all you want; you’ll never need to answer for it. Buckle up, kids
When historians look back on the demise of America, I wonder where Rupert Murdoch and Fox News will rank.
Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.
I sometimes wonder if the highest court in the land realize the mistake of allowing presidents to have immunity detailing its cause and effect that it could have on a country and its citizens?
Never in my most cynical dreams did I imagine so many people willing to sell out their own country for money, attention, clout, out of spite, ignorance or hate.
That will remain the most heartbreaking part of this ordeal.
America is such a beautiful idea.
We are becoming unworthy of it.
Please, let’s not give them any ideas…
Do any Republicans in Congress care about Trump grabbing oil from Venezuela, handing it off to his megadonors to sell on the international market to whoever, depositing the proceeds in foreign bank accounts, then spending the money however he sees fit with no input from Congress?
Republicans have ceded their constitutional authority over tariffs to Trump voluntarily. They could have ended it at any time. They could end it now. Trump is not on the ballot this Nov, but they are. The only way to stop this daily tariff drama and insanity is to vote them out.
To be clear, Trump will ramp up ICE brutality until November. He intends to stop the election.
We need congress to act.
Let’s be honest, this applies to Trump voters too.
We are well past the point at which we should have invoked the 25th Amendment.
Good question for Kristi Noem.
The violent mob that attacked the Capitol on January 6 was not peaceful.
Stop lying to the American people.
Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”
I’ve heard this one before…
