I am just once going to borrow a bit from Bill Maher (whom I have been done with for at least a decade). New Rule: do not follow me here or ask me to follow you back if everything you skeet is a repost. I am more than a bit suspicious about one of the requests including everyone I already read.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

For I think the first time in my life, I will be eating at a restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner. (The Air Force chow hall - er, "dining facility" - doesn't count.) I will be tipping generously, because I know that the people preparing & serving my food would rather be at home with their families.

@kenwhite.bsky.social Is it a good thing when a Federal judge is named as a witness in a contempt hearing?

BREAKING: In Judge Boasberg's contempt inquiry, Plaintiffs include Emil Bove, now a Third Circuit judge, on their list of potential witnesses. Others include Erez Reuveni and Drew Ensign—both of whom Boasberg mentioned as likely witnesses—and Yaakov Roth, a senior official in DOJ's Civil Division.

Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

You can still look up any bird on Cornell's website, but the only result you'll get will be a chicken. Bawk-bawk.

The pro-Palestine group Within Our Lifetime has already decided that Zohran Mamdani has sold out the pro-Palestine cause... by condemning swastikas drawn on a Jewish day school in Brooklyn. forward.com/culture/7822...

forward.comMamdani's first statement on antisemitism as mayor-elect got some weird pushbackAfter someone spraypainted a swastika on a yeshiva, Zohran Mamdani condemned antisemitism. Somehow, this generated conspiracy theories.

ICE detains mother dropping off child at elementary school—refuses to even look at her U.S. legal papers. "What documents?" agent sarcastically replies—holding up the folder. "The ones in your hands!" witnesses yell back. Madison Elementary School in Santa Ana, California.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.
