Reporter seeking freedom of speech in the US arrested for exercising freedom of speech in the US
KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly?
BIER: DHS tweeted for 100m deportations. That would be ethnic cleansing!
K: You don't think it's hyperbolic?
B: I think advocating 100m deportations is ethnic cleansing. Yes. Your time is up
AOC came out swinging against age verification legislation and somehow the entire tech press seems to not have noticed?
Peace, ho!
Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other
I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.
A new national poll from NBC News finds that threats to democracy have surged to the top of votersβ priorities β matching inflation as the countryβs most important issue ahead of the 2026 midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Bigotry, from Trump squawking about Obama's birth certificate to ICE declaring war on American civilians, is what got us here.
Racists, misogynists, homophobes and transphobes don't belong in American society.
Augie Meyers, the Tex-Mex organ player who co-founded the influential Sir Douglas Quintet and went on to record with Bob Dylan, has died at 85.

Two brothers from South Texas and their high school mariachi bandmates were recognized by their congresswoman last June for winning a state mariachi competition. Nine months later, the brothers, along with their parents and younger brother, are in ICE detention and facing deportation.
Youβll notice the American state media relentlessly attacked President Biden over his age as he did good work and chastised President Obama for creating a healthcare program but are giving the orange felon a pass for bombing any country he chooses. They are complicit.
Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.
βTrans children are perfect.β
Obama on Jesse Jackson: "The message he sent to a 22 year old child of a single mother with a funny name, an outsider, was that maybe there wasn't any place, any room, where we didn't belong"
When Charlie Kirk died,Trump lowered flags nationwide for him.
6 US soldiers die and not only will he not lower the flags nationwide for them, he just says βsome people will die.β
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
πReps. Henry Cuellar of Texas, Jared Golden of Maine, Greg Landsman of Ohio and Juan C. Vargas of California just voted with Republicans to support Trump's illegal Iran war.
They get the John Fetterman award for cowardice under fire, and will be awarded blood-stained hoodies for their gutlessness.
NOPE
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.
βNo front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.β www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...
The future of the GOP is Nazi. People still aren't paying attention.
A lot of Texans of all races proudly said, βIβm voting for Jasmine Crockett.β It mattered. In the end, Texans chose Talarico, and she will support the nominee. She said it herself.
That said, this Texas primary is one I will never forget, even though Iβd like to. Hear me outβ¦

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that
AOC: If people like Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi violate the law, there are supposed to be consequences. These are people who call themselves law enforcement officers. The message theyβre sending is that they can cover up for pedophiles and street executions. That cannot be acceptable.
An ICE detainee in Arizona has died of a TOOTH INFECTION after it went untreated for weeks, a local official says. He was a Haitian asylum seeker imprisoned in Florence, Arizona. @emilybregel.bsky.social reports.

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge
CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?
NOEM: A what?
CROCKETT: A law degree
NOEM: No I do no-
CROCKETT: Okay
Iran-Contra happened 40 years ago! It *literally* involved the US selling weapons to... Iran.
So, the argument is we were funding the armed forces of a country we were at war with?
Screenshot of an X post by βNo Lie with Brian Tyler Cohenβ stating that Valentina Gomez, described as a MAGA candidate who campaigned by attacking gay people, has lost her race and is in sixth place. The post includes a campaign clip of Gomez speaking on a street and a results graphic showing a Republican primary vote tally with Gomez in sixth.
6th place? How devastating. Even Riley Gaines came in 5th in her race.
Trump wants to distract from the failing economy, ICE murders, and his corruption scandals
Netanyahu wants to distract from the Gaza genocide, West Bank settler attacks, and his own corruption scandals.
Both are using the same playbook: wage war to blot out everything else.
Ansari: "The DOJ was caught red handed withholding explosive and credible FBI witness interviews of a woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor. Shouldn't we hold hearings on that? Shouldn't Pam Bondi be here, forced to testify about why she's violating the law?"
