On some level I’m not sure my mind can quite grasp the raw stupidity of conducting a massive decapitation strike against Iran with no day two plan whatsoever, and then immediately finding yourself in a worldwide energy crisis with no off-ramp because you didn’t expect Iran to react
the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.
really remarkable how trump seems to relish sharing this lurid stories about the terrible pain people have experienced, and he does it exclusively to score some partisan points
As a career public defender, the facts on this really matter.
Trump invoked Iryna Zarutska—a Ukrainian refugee murdered on a Charlotte train—to attack immigrants.
The suspect is a U.S. citizen with mental health issues who was passed by transit security that night.
“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.
See, e.g., the current discourse I'm seeing wherein people ask why senior citizens should have to pay property taxes 🙃
FIRED? Who gives a fuck about “fired”?!? How about “send them to jail for life”? And I mean ALL of ‘em.
Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com
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.
Remember kids, nobody has to give the other 11 jurors a speech about what jury nullification is, they can just say “I dunno, prosecution’s story isn’t adding up,” and “sure, maybe, but the judge said ‘beyond reasonable doubt,’ does anyone else have reasonable doubts this was the guy?”
remember when an armed group of right-wing insurgents seized and occupied federal land for weeks and only one of them got shot after literally charging at an officer with his handgun drawn?
Huh. It turns out I'm still anti-death penalty.
He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.
They were called Inspectors General. And Trump already fired them.
It’s a family business and they changed the name to honor their grandpa, or something like that.
The movie Hitman on Netflix was a fun, fluffy Glen Powell vehicle. It also had something interesting to say about who we choose to be, and that has stuck with me.
Meanwhile...
Yeah, but real Portlanders understood you anyway.
Does that seem like a good ROI to you?
"The US federal gov. now openly says it will use its supercharged spy capabilities to target people who oppose ICE’s actions. Labeled as “domestic terrorists” by the administration, these targets include anti-ICE protesters and anyone who allegedly funds them" www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...
Well that’s Land Clark for you.
Analysis | By calling for the execution of prominent Democrats, President Trump is preserving the legacy of Charlie Kirk.
Oh and like SIX HUNDRED people got FIRED for posting about Charlie Kirk's death so I really don't want to fucking hear it about cancel culture run amok with Larry Summers, thanks!
So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism.
Got it.
I’m confused as to why no one calls the Speaker “ Trump’s little Johnson.”
Trump's tariffs are probably cooked, but the conservative justices are going to be very careful to preserve what matters most: their power to invent sharp limits on executive power next time a Democrat is in the White House
Wait, does he think this move is going to make the Portland frog brigade mad enough to riot? To justify a more brutal crackdown? Because I don’t think that crowd has quite the overlap with Blazers fans that he might think.
