CBS turned their news operation into propaganda, kicked Colbert off the air for making too much trouble, and all that just to have Charles Barkley go on the air on one of their most-watched telecasts of the year and say this lmao

Never been happier to be too broke to fly anywhere

Why was there an Osprey over Columbia heights

i could tell from the speech she gave that i needed to talk to her, and her words have stayed with me. god bless her and all the others.

i met Dolores Huerta at a conference in california around 2009. she took time to chat with every young person who wanted to speak with her and encouraged me to get started in organizing after i expressed some uncertainty about where to begin. i will always remember that.

I'm not even trying to bully this team but they have demonstrated staggering lack of sportsmanship at every leg of this tournament.

Aloofness from day one.
Antagonism to fellow competitors.
Ignorance of standings.
Lying about that.
Entitlement at the very end.

The perfect Ugly Americans.

$200 a barrel is misleading. You're not just paying for the container, but also the valuable crude oil inside of it.

Perfect dad weather today

having a baby will do that

i understand we're long past subtlety but could she at least have worn something less directly leaning into "futuristic SS-Sturmbannführer"

You're absolutely right—that was not a command post, that was an elementary school. Those were not military leaders—they were schoolchildren. I said the opposite, and that's on me.

people have been lied to about this. the GOP, the NYT, and sundry centrists have spread this bullshit story where kids are being bum rushed into surgery by a shadowy conspiracy of endocrinologists and gender ideologues

Invoking the Defense Production Act to force Anthropic to make a version of Claude that can conduct mass domestic surveillance and operate murderbots is psychotic

My children have turned me into a trampoline park, send help

putting the words "healthcare price" on anything is like a giant kick me sign. this is for name tags

According to FOX 9, a Minneapolis federal judge demanded to know why DOJ is missing deadlines & AUSA Julie Le said, "The system sucks, this job sucks" & asked to be held in contempt so she could sleep.

PACER shows she got assigned to defend the govt in 88+ cases since Operation Metro Surge started.

Hey @wmatagm.bsky.social I would pay at least $37.99 for a toy bus that is also a transformer. Your move @wmata.com

When Liuzzo acquired this knowledge, when she got Woke, she was transfigured into a traitor to her race and a menace to The Homeland. For being a menace, for being Woke, she was killed—as was Renee Good. (As was Alex Pretti.) But revelations have their blessings, too. In this case, a life, however brief, that is clean, and does not depend on the oppression and debasement of others. The revelation of deep human ties, a belief that we are all equally chosen, doomed Liuzzo, Good, and Pretti, as revelation so often does. But it also immortalized them.

This is because Louise Lucas said he was sitting in the cuck chair

Just before the town hall, a reporter asked Ellison about the difficulty states faced in prosecuting federal agents like the ICE agent who shot Renee Good. “The idea that they’re absolutely immune is a misstatement of the law, and it is a dangerous misstatement of the law, because I don’t want any ICE agent or Border Patrol agent or any agent to think that they can just kill people and then that’s it,” Ellison told the group of reporters. Then he asked rhetorically: “What about Ruby Ridge? You ever heard of that one?” Years after an FBI sniper shot Vicki Weaver at Ruby Ridge, the state of Idaho prosecuted the federal agent. The federal government went to bat for the agent, claiming that he was immune under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. The Ninth Circuit ruled that Idaho was allowed to prosecute the sniper — similarly, Minnesota is also entitled to investigate and potentially prosecute the officer who shot Renee Good. But a different example loomed larger in Ellison’s mind: the Boston Massacre of 1770, where British soldiers shot into a crowd, ultimately killing five people.

“It’s not exactly analogous, but we are talking about local authorities in Boston, prosecuting imperial agents of the colonial power, the central government, in England. And they were prosecuted. Two of them were convicted. John Adams actually represented a few of the imperial officers.” The Boston Massacre, said Ellison, was obviously “in the mind of the framers of the Constitution” at the time the document was written.

“They were thinking about this event, and they would have never conceded the state’s authority to prosecute a federal officer,” said Ellison, going on to add, “The states of the United States pre-date the United States. It is federal courts that are limited. Not state courts. State courts have plenary power.” He finished with a dramatic flourish: “It’s true that the feds are denying us access to the investigative file. It’s also true that there’s no statute of limitations on murder.”

I wasn't sure what to expect from a group of Democratic state AGs, but I definitely was not expecting a long monologue about Ruby Ridge and the Boston Massacre www.theverge.com/policy/86588...

Ruben Gallego @RubenGallego Yeah I am not voting to give whatever ICE has become more tax payer money. It’s no longer an immigration enforcement arm of the US government. Quote The Associated Press @AP · 1h BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says. 5:50 PM · Jan 21, 2026 · 476 Views

Senator Gallego weighs in as well. Note that at the start of 2025 he was considered a *moderate* on immigration and co-sponsored the Laken Riley Act. Him and many other Dems have been increasingly horrified at what ICE is doing and shifted away from a "more enforcement" focus.

a wall street financial transactions tax but for posts

After a century of defending other countries against foreign aggression, the United States is now positioned as an imperial power trying to seize another nation's land.

A century of what now, @nytimes.com ?

Politics Yet to regain the majority, Democrats would need to run more competitively among White voters without a four-year college degree — the mostly widely accepted definition of the working class — than they typically have done in the Trump era.

it’s just so crazy to see it happen in real time
