Anyway damn everyone who over the last 10 years tried to gaslight us into believing that we were not seeing what we were obviously seeing.

It's extremely clear at this point that Todd Blanche has opened this probe for one reason: to block or subvert the real criminal investigation now underway headed by Raúl Torres, the attorney general of New Mexico. The technical term for what Blanche is doing is perverting the course of justice.

Just got all my boys together to take on the wandering ronin who came to town. There’s like 15 of us and only one of him so pretty much the only thing that would give me any pause is if he was master of the devastating and lightning-fast iaidō style. But that’s not likely.

If our system of justice can determine that shooting a one year-old is justified, then we do not have a system of justice, and our goal should be the eradication of the system we have and its replacement with something better.

More seriously, though, this is what happens when activists trained in a low-trust zero-sum culture visit a high-trust positive-sum culture. Yes, if you Just Build Things in the US, there's a strong chance you'll end up with underground tunnels full of Teslas instead of something useful to anyone.

Will also be fun to hear about how bad a Tampa - Milwaukee World Series is for ratings and business before they pivot back to "we have to crush the players so small markets can compete!"

Not that it really matters but lol at the final 3 MLB teams being Milwaukee, Cleveland and Tampa Bay going into an off-season where the corporate media will deluge fans with "the owners have to do a lockout so small markets can compete!" propaganda.

Trump: "Zelenskyy is not helping matters much. I think he doesn't want to stop the war." FACT CHECK: Ukraine and Zelenskyy personally agreed to an unconditional ceasefire proposed by Trump in March 2025. Russia did not.

I suspect the reality here is that a lot of people in Trump's orbit are pro-Putin either for ideological reasons or because they want to protect potential business interests in Russia and so they're feeding him this idea that Zelensky is the obstacle to peace, which works, cause Trump's an idiot.

Just because Trump's defense for taking Russia's side in its monstrous, criminal aggression against Ukraine is incoherent, twisted and full of lies does not mean it is any less dangerous. To the contrary, he is doubling down again and believes he can rationalize his betrayal to Americans.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

Trump is siding with Russia. Again. He’s attacking Zelenskyy for striking Russian oil refineries, while Russia has been relentlessly bombing Ukraine’s energy grid and civilian targets. 1/

The generation that got to buy cheap houses thanks to a postwar construction boom, then blocked new housing construction to juice their asset values is now whining that they have to pay taxes on their unearned wealth. Just breathtaking selfishness.

I very much want to see that warrant application & know which judge signed off on it, because nothing about this sounds remotely kosher.

if I hire an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he instead presents me with a list of reasons he is incapable of doing so while asking for more money so that he can maybe handle it later, I am not angrier at the roaches, I am in the market for a better exterminator

2/ Incidents like the McIver prosecution and the Omar search should remind us that the fear motivating the speech or debate privilege--from its mid-fourteenth century origins through its inclusion in the US Constitution--was the prevention of executive and judicial harassment of legislators.

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

The man who took out full page ads demanding the death penalty for five Black and Latino teenagers falsely accused of rape is out here worried that the seven majority white Cornell frat boys accused of rape "won't get a fair shake".

the funniest thing about the "we don't trust the media" people is that they will trust literally anyone else. like, if you have an image and text, they'll buy it. shaking keys at babies type logic.

I don’t trust the mainstream media, but I feel like the primary alternate model, getting the news from the posts of a 14 year-old Romanian schizophrenic shitposter named “G00n3R the Swamp Pervert,” is not necessarily a superior alternative.

The decline in visitors travelling to the U.S. would have been much bigger without the World Cup this year (1.24 million international World Cup visitors). Without the World Cup, the decline in international visitors would have been 3+ million. bsky.app/profile/sema...

If you need to send a fundraising email with the header “We know you’re not an ATM” maybe it’s a sign you ought to reign in the grifter consulting firms that are alienating supporters with a constant stream of panhandling spam to raise money that mostly gets poured back into their own coffers?

You don't have an inalienable right to be an antisocial dipshit because you're doomscrolling all day and it makes you feel terrible. There are no qualifiers to this. You are not released from the obligation to try to be decent just because Elon Musk is lighting the world on fire.

And I just don't accept that logic anymore. It's just plain shitty behaviour! But it's downstream of the social media prime directive: if it feels good, post it. Like so much else political posting, it's about empty catharsis rather than achieving anything.
