That's really where I was going with this.
There was a line in season 1 where someone says the emperor distracts people with 40 atrocities so they can't focus on any one, and that hit HARD.
Pray with me: “Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces.”
The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.
Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.
Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.
Even if you're not a Star Wars fan, go watch Andor.
If you've seen it already, go watch it again.
I can 100% relate. I was speaking at my local No Kings rally and was going to talk about fired JAGs and war crimes, then completely forgot everything I wanted to say as soon a the microphone touched my hand.
I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.
Turns out Russia, Russia, Russia was worse than we thought
THIS SUMS IT UP AS WELL AS ANYONE CAN:
Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sánchez:
“The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.”

@pearlmania500.bsky.social Load-bearing wall. You were looking for load-bearing wall.
Andor's Deedra Meero at the moment she realizes she's screwed. Director Krennic stands behind her, with his gloved finger pressing down on the top of her head as she wears a wide-eyed expression of terror.
Once again, "Andor" delivers the goods.
Bondi, finding out she's being tossed aside.

Q&A after the preview screening of Normal with Derek Kolstad and Bob Odenkirk
I had the opportunity to go see a preview screening of "Normal" at the Normal Theater in Normal, Illinois tonight. It was a blast, and it was great to hear from Derek Kolstad and Bob Odenkirk before and after the show. I highly recommend going to see it yourself.
They all look alike
Picture of the Orc Commander Gothmog, a character in the movie adaptation of Return of the King, whose looks were modeled after Harvey Weinstein.
I don't know how I only learned this 25 years after it came out, but Gothmog's look was based on Harvey Weinstein.
A drunk former fox news host refused to promote two Black and two female officers because a convicted felon and 5x draft dodger does not want to stand next to a Black woman at military events.
Think about that for a second.
A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all
Why was a convicted felon allowed to vote in Florida elections when desantis made such a big deal about arresting felons who voted in past elections?
C-SPAN caller to Rep. Pete Sessions: "Your party has given the power of the presidency to an insane, pedophelic serial killer"
Watching both sides of this war blatantly manipulate the US stock market is maddening.
“Leave her alone! What are you doing?!”

This is clearly fine with the GOP.
If this isn't abuse and fraud, I don't know what is.
We have no government right now.
This is what happens when you don't have a government.
(you get abused)
Then what happened?
Now would be a great time to have an actual, functioning, free press.
