Back after a year with fresh outrages. Yours?

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

The reason Ukraine didn’t inform the White House about the drone sneak attack is the same reason they didn’t inform the Kremlin about the drone sneak attack.

Anyone else noticing the deafening silence by Trump AND Putin about the weekend drone attacks by Ukraine on Russian Air bases? Most audacious military project since 9/11 -- and they are not commenting?

Rep. Dan Goldman called it out: masked ICE agents hiding from cameras while detaining migrants in plainclothes isn’t law enforcement—it’s authoritarianism. If it’s legal, why the disguise? This is Trump’s two-faced fascism. Protesters get punished for masks—agents get power. This is not democracy.

Macron: “We firmly oppose the expansion of Israeli military operations in Gaza. The level of human suffering is intolerable.” Joint statement from the leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Canada on the situation in Gaza and the West Bank.

Dear America, Have you had enough yet? I have.

Seems like with news like this, a fiscally responsible government would look to increase revenue not lower taxes. Oh,right, we're talking about the GOP here...

Today, May 4, 1970, marks the day National Guardsmen shot at unarmed students at Kent State University, killing 4 and wounding 9 others. Shock and outrage. Never forget.

Trump voters: Do you ever get the feeling that he's just not into you?

Wisconsin’s Democratic attorney general asked the state Supreme Court on Sunday to block presidential adviser Elon Musk from awarding $1 million prizes to voters for casting ballots in a high-stakes race for control of the court.

Third rail shit happening, folks...

Grab that third rail with both hands. Stick your junk on it, while you're at it.

Norway cuts fuel supply because of this shit show, then calls it a Shitshow in posts. That WH meeting was scripted. A planned political ambush because Trump is Krasnov, a Russian agent and GOP is complicit. travelguru.substack.com/p/a-hero-and... travelguru.substack.com/p/a-hero-and...

RFK Jr. Vows To Make Measles Deaths So Common They Won’t Be Upsetting Anymore theonion.com/rfk-jr-...

Engaging in outright extortion and bullying, while publicly overwhelming a guest—the president of a country fighting a desperate defensive war—is so utterly shameless and undignified that it damages both Trump’s and the United States’ reputation on the world stage. And it will come at a cost.

Massive global realignment. USA turns its back on Europe and lines up with tyrants and dictators, ending 80 years of its commitment to world peace.

A meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office on Friday grew contentious, with Trump telling Zelenskyy that "you're not acting at all thankful" for the U.S. support his country had received.

Happy Buy Nothing Day!

Starlink poised to takeover $2.4 billion contract to overhaul air traffic control communication

DOGE has deleted the top five highest savings claims on its “wall of receipts” leaderboard after various news outlets pointed out multiple errors in its calculations.

Tonight! Jon Stewart takes on DOGE and makes some “cuts” of his own. He’s fine. We hope.

Luigilysis. Is this a word now?

Macron corrects Trump after he claims "Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back."

"Was in a bar the other day, enjoying a beer with my friend, when the Woke Police arrested us."

What arrogance to hold peace talks without Zelinskyy. We can all imagine what this "peace" would look like. Trump+Putin=Global fascism. Europe is on the brink.

President Zelensky is a far greater leader than Trump could ever be. This shameful attempt by the Administration to run a protection racket against a democratic country fighting for its existence is a stain on this country.

SNL's The Homecoming Concert had so many great performances. BTW, is Marcus Mumford the most attractive man on any stage ever? Two songs: I Will Wait for You and a cover of The Boxer.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, during a closed-door meeting on Wednesday, rejected an offer by the Trump administration to relinquish half of the country’s mineral resources in exchange for U.S. support, according to people with knowledge of the talks. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...
