ohhh ‘democracy dies in darkness’ was aspirational

they're trying to be coy about salivating over the prospect of raping women, they'll contest that but if pushed to explain, that's exactly what they would describe. forced pregnancy of any kind, by a man or by the state, is gender-based violence

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are

his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

A letter to the director of the CIA from Senator Ron Wyden saying he has sent a classified letter that expressed concerns.

This is how Sen. Ron Wyden clues the public into activity that he finds extremely alarming. He does a press release about a letter he sent to the director of the CIA that basically says, 'I want to make sure you saw the classified letter I sent early today.' www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

'My own government attempted to execute me,' Chicago woman shot by Border Patrol testifies Marimar Martinez said she believes that she survived her encounter with Border Patrol agents so she could share her story.

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."

Ah, Paul Weiss openly employing known pedophiles, love that for us, America

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

For those keeping score at home:

Miller clumsily deployed an army of masked goons to commit crimes across the nation and, in the process, destroyed Trump's best-polling issue and sent his approval plummeting to an all-time low.

But sure, this was a "rare misstep" and not part of a larger pattern of incompetence

If only WaPo's layoffs were actually about money and not destroying the American press

The thing that billionaires forget is that other people's happiness matters too

My actual job description is activist and here’s what I tell people in despair all the time: do not underestimate how much harm you can prevent by being just a little bit annoying.

The billionaire class wants to decimate the white collar workforce. Because white collar workers are expensive. And because white collar workers—who historically sided with billionaires—are questioning that alliance. Which makes their knowledge and resources a huge threat to billionaire power.

I feel like I need to keep reminding everyone that Donald Trump first nominated a known child sex offender to be Attorney General because that's who he wanted handling the Epstein files.

Intelligence watchdog shares whistleblower complaint involving Gabbard with Congress after monthslong delay The complaint was closed administratively by the intelligence community inspector general's office in June 2025, under prior leadership, watchdog says.

Gabbard held this up for 8 months with a truckload of excuses from executive privilege to "It's too classified for Congress." They have FINALLY transmitted the whistleblower report to Congress. www.cbsnews.com/news/intelli...

Girl, you gotta quit

This is a mask *very* specifically associated with Atomwaffen and Nazi Terrorgram (as OP notes downthread)

He literally pulled a "you should smile more" IN RESPONSE TO AN EPSTEIN QUESTION.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?

Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.

And they almost shot some kids in the process.

“In my profession, I have seen many people break down in grief, but that image of Elizabeth’s father will stay with me forever,” she said. “I watched him sit in his car, bury his head in his hands, and cry uncontrollably. Those are images you do not forget.”

Bureaucracy at its finest

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

I'm getting real tired of subsidizing billionaires, America

explain to me, very slowly, like the dimwitted child you must think I am, how body cameras or ICE cooperating with cops would have prevented any of the many, many, many law enforcement murders committed by both ICE and cops over the years which were already thoroughly documented on video

We all already know this obvs but here's our periodic reminder that local law enforcement is not our ally
