For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:
When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?
Wondering if it will wind up the parent chat group enough to get me booted out if I put the article about long COVID and school grades in there... 👀

“This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has. It’s shocking to me.”
everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"

How dare teachers care about knowledge and education when all we need are new cogs in the capitalist machine, employees trained on public money so they are able to secure and increase profits for a few private pockets?
"Soft skills" sounds so much better than complex exploitation.
this is one of the most offensive things I've seen in years
well... THAT's pretty eye opening, actually, Mike, to just say it out loud like that.
Did that sound different in your head?
Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.
Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.
Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.
Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.

nuremberg 2.0 needs to end with the assets of all those guards seized and handed over to their victims
I increasingly think this man’s focus on his objective to keep Clavicular conscious long enough to be forced to listen to the taunting was a canon event for Clavicular individually and for the death grip the broader incel-alt-right sphere has on young men.
Hi! A responsible title to this article would have been something like, "Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas calls for violent right-wing revolution against most of the American populace".
alt="A pentagram shaped image that looks like a metal medallion. At the top is a skull wearing a military helmet with glowing red eyes and two machine guns pointing out of its ears, below that is the text “operation Metro Surge Minnesota” with the text below that saying “one nation under God”.

At the top is a skull in a military helmet with glowing red eyes and two machine guns crossed behind it, and beneath that is a scene of several soldiers wearing full tactical gear and carrying some sort of banner that looks vaguely like an American flag (a large blue field of stars with tiny red and white stripes at the fringe). Behind them a military helicopter in a dark cloudy sky descending on an explosion; the explosion has what appear to be six or seven rocket tracers coming out of it. The helicopter is shining a spotlight down on the ground. The whole thing looks like a terrible video game from the 1990s, and carries the unmistakable whiff of AI generated design"
Behold the "challenge coin" the federal government is giving to folks who worked on Minneapolis detentions and deportations
it's both predictable -- the sort of garish video-game conflict imagery in which Trump's administration revels -- and grotesque

The NYT big expose on SCOTUS today pairs well with @ariberman.bsky.social and @pemalevy.bsky.social's cover story on how ~everything wrong with this country today can be laid at the feet of John Roberts: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
As an American. I make the decision to buy a gun and go shoot somebody. I get convicted and go to jail.

Boycotts: Trump has single handily ruined the World Cup and likely will do the same for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
Trump is unhinged and the U.S. deserves all the pain.
Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."
