"This is sociopathy, plain and simple. Either Vance believes everything he’s saying, or he has no beliefs at all, and is a creature of pure, malicious nihilism. I’m not sure which would be worse."

This is horrible, horrible

Does it make sense to deport a man who overstayed a visa but otherwise has no criminal record when his deportation means shutting down a food pantry that serves meals to 7,000-8,000 needy people a month? Does choosing not to exercise discretion in his case make America greater?

That $366 million Elon is spending to try and convince voters that Congress should stay Republican? It's more money than McCain's 2008 campaign spent. But it's also, relative to Musk's net worth, the same as a household at the median income spending $32.

You know, if you *really* cared about the wellbeing of women in college, instead of carping about the statistically insignificant number of trans athletes in sports minding their own business, you’d be railing against these Cornell fraternity cretins who drugged and gang-raped a passed-out women:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump EPA says it is eliminating rule that limits planet-warming pollution from coal and gas-fired power plants.

Because I’m white, it was easy for me to conflate the solidarity we witnessed on the ground among New Yorkers on 9/11 for some kind of colorblind national unity in the months and years that followed. The reality is and was vastly different.

There have to be so many prosecutions. This all can’t just be forgotten or papered over.

Not his only infuriating veto.

Okay everyone. Here’s the YouTube interview with @jimmykimmel.com and @jamestalarico.bsky.social You know what to do. Watch it. Share it. Donate. Bury them. youtu.be/WLDE9LrGpNk?...

Has Mike Rogers disavowed Elon Musk yet? Has Ken Paxton disavowed Elon Musk yet? Has Mike Collins disavowed Elon Musk yet? Has Jon Husted disavowed Elon Musk yet? Has Susan Collins disavowed Elon Musk yet? Has Ashley Moody disavowed Elon Musk yet? Has Ashley Hinson disavowed Elon Musk yet?

Breaking: Someone appears to have hacked the Republican National Convention website and it now redirects to the Epstein Files website.

Ken Paxton has spent more than a decade running from debates. He said he’d debate James Talarico. Then he missed deadline after deadline. Today Talarico accepted CNN’s invitation. Paxton still hasn’t. A coward who won’t stand on a stage and answer questions isn’t ready to represent Texas.

Darline Graham said that because her own parents died when she was a kid, people today shouldn't expect "government health care." So I dug up the real story of the death of Darline/Lindsey's parents. It makes a strong case FOR government health care. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2148...

COMMENTARY: A whole lot of celebrities are loved. Dolly Parton loved you back.

Jesus Christ. All green card interviews worldwide are paused indefinitely

Hey man, when I called to schedule an MRI appointment at my local VA last week, they told me there were no openings until NOVEMBER. Maybe work on that before you start calling for more war with Iran. You can't even take care of the combat vets you have. Why are you trying to create new ones?

WELKER: Do you think democratic socialists have a place in the Democratic Party? VAN HOLLEN: Yes they do as part of the debate. I think that those in the Dem Party who are afraid of a healthy debate are missing the point, because Democratic voters do not want a return to the pre-Trump status quo

It's hard to fathom that anyone thinks ICE can be reformed or retrained. ICE needs to be dismantled and then cauterized so it can't grow back. #AbolishICE

Lara Korte, who was just fired from Stars & Stripes, has been covering the relocation of personnel from Bahrain for months and did a great piece today on 1,300 Navy family members displaced from Bahrain who are stuck in limbo given the damage to the Bahrain base. www.stripes.com/branches/nav...

“You all are the only ones who are distracted” 🔥 @angieforfl.bsky.social

Yesterday, Aug. 20, was one of the worst days of ICE flights I've seen. -At least 82 ICE flights -At least 15 were removal flights, including Haiti -At least 5 removals were third-country removals (Cameroon, Costa Rica, Liberia, Paraguay, Rwanda) -Plus 1 emergency return for reasons unknown

ICE just arrested a 5-year-old on his way to a soccer game in Austin. His name is Liam, just like the little boy from Minnesota. He should be in kindergarten this week. Instead he's in a trailer prison in the desert. Release Liam. Release these kids. Close the Dilley children’s prison.

Incredible stuff from Cards Against Humanity, who is now building a monument to interfere with SpaceX.

I feel like an issue that would connect well with voters would be doing anything at all to slow the current progression toward "absolutely everything now is a scam"

Thomson Reuters, which owns news agency Reuters, has signed a $125M deal giving ICE access to its databases of personal data. USA Today has partnered with Palantir to gain "actionable intelligence" on its audiences. The media should be opponents of Trump's police state — not collaborators.

Q: If you're elected governor, what's the first thing you want to do? FRANCESCA HONG: We want to make sure we call a special session for the legislation on a moratorium on data centers

i have no polite words for this monster

The dumbest people you know are interfering with childhood vaccine schedules.

Thank you, NBC, for noting this is in fact an American city. Too many people here pretend it isn't.

the max miller blue bunny horror has me thinking of liam conejo ramos and his little hat and the endless cruelty republicans will inflict on children to achieve their political goals.

Lost in all the election news — Israel just imprisoned an American teen. Soldiers raided Adam's family home in the West Bank right before his sister’s grad party. The soldiers were shown his US passport and apparently didn’t care, disregarding it. As they took him, they blew kisses at his mom.

Great reporting from @emilybregel.bsky.social about a gay man who’s been in the US since he was four, imprisoned in a “hotel” in Equatorial Guinea since April. He says he’s being denied soap and toilet paper in retaliation for filing a complaint w African Commission. 1/ tucson.com/news/local/b...

This is deadass every republican campaign ad here in the south. I'm not even REMOTELY JOKING.

"Texas has the highest number of uninsured people and the most rural hospital closures in the country. If Greg Abbott wanted to lower healthcare costs for Texans, he would've done it in the twelve years he's been Governor." Gina Hinojosa

Running out of body bags, using forklifts to transfer corpses into makeshift morgues, a mortician conducting 200 funerals in a month when he usually does 30, crematories running at double capacity… And these senators just want to memory-hole it all www.nytimes.com/2020/04/30/n...

300,000 Haitians legally living in the U.S. have officially lost their Temporary Protected Status this week. ICE is reportedly planning to target Haitian communities and fast-track deportations to Haiti, which is controlled by violent gangs and deep in crisis. Trump’s cruelty knows no bounds.

Upwards of 200,00 people may have lost their jobs today; or will in the upcoming days. There is a palpable sense of fear among the Haitian community right now. They need your support.

Alex Jones, who has not paid a single cent to the Sandy Hook families despite owing them $1.4 billion, has been in a $3,000 per night suite in Hawaii for the last few weeks illegally using the InfoWars accounts to boost his traffic. Today he said there's going to be a national draft in three weeks.
