WASH POST: “A federal agent shot at an unarmed Black man during a traffic stop… an officer told a judge he was instructed by a superior not to document the shooting — and all charges against the man were dropped.” 🤔https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/10/27/dc-traffic-stop-shooting-dispute/

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin? TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

Somewhere in the middle of s01. Does this one get a pass because this is the recommended position for car seats?

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

@louisvirtel.bsky.social where do I find the list of gay powers you reference on keep it

It makes me want to hire a historian to give tours of Manzanar where they tell the truth. Or hang up some pics from Dorothea Lange, who was sent there in the 30s to make propaganda but understood the assignment so well they locked away her pics until 2006.

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

Of course, this will have less of an impact on consumers who are willing to pay more for US-made goods

I just created a quick map depicting which portions of the United States are now (as of today) or will imminently be (by early June) without 24/7 local National Weather Service coverage (per Washington Post reporting). #CAwx #CAfire #CAwater #ORwx #AKwx #WYwx #KSwx

Just chased off a car full of Mormons by saying, "I'm a professional atheist, you're probably wasting your time." My job doesn't make you rich, but it has its fringe benefits.

keep thinking about an article in which RFK was described as having something like "a rugged, healthy, masculine complexion" and okay, stop right there. i am also of irish descent. i have older relatives. his complexion is "skin cancer". nothing healthy about it.

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

As promised here’s Pink Pony Club but it’s about encryption

Ugh

🚨NEW: Major development. German newspaper Der Spiegel has found phone numbers and passwords for Hegseth, Waltz & Gabbard in stolen data freely published on the internet. ‼️It includes details of Signal accounts. “It is conceivable that foreign agents were privy to the Signal chat group.”

cultural trumpism is just the institutionalization of abuse dynamics at scale: the project of transforming every school, church, business, and government office into a facsimile of an abusive family with a cruel patriarch in charge.

Yesterday, Jelly Roll offered a concert at the Rose Bowl for the first responders involved in battling the Los Angeles wildfires. Incarcerated firefighters were there, alongside everyone else. I have so much gratitude for the people there, and for the people who helped make this happen.

The Federal Aviation Administration was using a backup system to send real-time safety alerts to pilots late Saturday because its primary one was “experiencing a temporary outage,” the Transportation Department said.
