Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

I just subscribed to this block list, and I really appreciate the public service provided here

I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠

I feel we did not properly memorialize the deaths of Covid. There should have been a holiday, there should have been a deep focus on it and healing from it. These nitwits are allowing the short memories of the public wash away how deadly it all was.

Stephen Miller: "President Trump is the one who questioned the need for requiring every single American to be tested over and over and over again" (Yeah, we remember!)

This is Beily. He was miraculously found alive under rubble 29 days after the Venezuela earthquakes. He has since been reunited with his 11-year-old human Victoria and is expected to make a full recovery. 14/10 for all (TT: fuerzavzla1)

Just so we’re all clear, the stockpiles are depleted because of Biden, the stockpiles are not depleted, and anyone reporting on these Schrödinger’s stockpiles should be in prison.

WELKER: Is America backing away from a larger attack bc our stockpile has been depleted? WALTZ: We have to take a step back. A lot of our stockpiles were depleted because of Biden WELKER: But you acknowledge they're depleted? WALTZ: No. And the people leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail

Imagine living in this moment of America speed-running the road to fascism with the White House leading the way and saying, wait, isn't there a potential possible chance of a danger that a few DSA candidates might maybe somehow drive the nation to communism?

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.

Hey Y'all. It's that time of year again. Where I get all personal on social media and talk about some issues I have. If you're just here for the goofs, now's your chance to not read any further. For those of you ready to delve in...

This is an SNL bit. You wouldn't have to change anything.

UN Ambassador Matt Whitaker: "People are enjoying the United States of America because it's an awesome place. We have extraordinary things like Buc-ee's and Chick-fil-A, very convenient to eat in your car while you're having a phone call. It's an amazing country."

Rep. Tom Kean finally speaks after months away from Congress for a previously unexplained absence: "I was given the diagnosis of depression ... the doctors recommended I remain in the hospital to address my illness"

Libs: You have to support the democratic nominee even if they weren't your first choice. This is the most important election of our lifetime and democracy is on the line so stop expecting perfection and vote against the fascists. Libs when someone to reagan's left wins a primary:

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

lol does this article really not mention that Clarence Thomas was in house counsel for Monsanto, the Roundup manufacturer?

PBS News@pbsnews.org

The Supreme Court sided with the maker of the Roundup weedkiller Thursday in a ruling expected to block thousands of lawsuits alleging it failed to warn people the product could cause cancer. https://to.pbs.org/43VOkVA

Trump Officials: "We are gutter racists who believe non-white people are racially inferior to whites. We have said publicly that non-white immigrants dilute the racial purity of our nation and thus we do not want non-white immigrants here. This is *entirely* about race." Sam Alito: "But *is* it?"

The way to flummox Trump isn’t to confront his bullshit with reality, which he doesn’t care about. It’s to confront his bullshit with his OTHER bullshit.

Q: National Guard and police have been all over the Mall. How would these vandals have gotten so close to do something like that? TRUMP: ... ... ...

NEWS CENTER MAINE: This is the first reelection campaign that you're run since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. I was hoping you could talk to me a little bit about your vote to confirm Kavanaugh and whether you regret that? SUSAN COLLINS: I do not regret that vote.

i have been obsessed with this for years. allowing manufacturers to sell direct to consumers would be good for consumers and also destroying the car dealership would be an existential crisis for republicans

Vituperative Erb@vituperativeerb.bsky.social

I feel it’s sort of underrated the extent to which a Dem Congress and/or states could (1) absolutely destroy car dealerships as a business, and (2) this would cripple a lot of GOP state and local parties

Midlife crisis?

Spencer Gray@spencerdgray.bsky.social

Nothing says ‘freedom’ like burning taxpayer money on dirt bikes at the White House for a billionaire’s birthday party. Bread’s expensive, rent’s worse, but sure, let’s fund a midlife crisis with fireworks and motocross. Peak empire decay. America is not a serious country.

For decades, Dan Patrick has sold out the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable to enrich his donors. Love feels like blasphemy when you worship power.
