It's not a film. It's part 1 of a movie that will never see the light of day because no one involved actually wants to either write a complete prompted script or spend the money on tokens that it would take to get it beyond a few minutes of anti-woke slop

again it feels like there's a lot of unsaid feelings and beliefs here. like "i don't know how to get them to stop doing this, they don't listen to us, so i just hope somehow it works out", but not wanting to say that out loud, admit to it, because it adds to the fear and feeling powerlessness.

"sure they're bad, but they won't INTRODUCE bills to vote for trans healthcare bans". that might be true. but that doesn't necessarily mean they won't vote for it. KOSA feels like a good comparison of how this actually works out. they don't introduce it, no. but a lot of them keep voting for it.

For the nonlawyers: This is an accurate description of the DOJ's position. Legally, as they frame it, it is an "Air Bud" argument - new, but no rule against it. It's simultaneously bananapants clownshoes crazy and morally reprehensible.
So if you're following, DOJ's theory here is they can file an initial complaint with probable cause based on incorrect facts, then file a superseding complaint that removes those facts and proceed without probable cause. Novel indeed.

average republican scandal: this politician is a child rapist funded by Russia. average Mamdani scandal: he played basketball with his friends in a court he had permission to use.
New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

This is 1000% the average voter's take The GOP doesn't seem to grasp that they ruined life for everyone and then have screamed nonstop about how the people who want to lower your costs are socialists, scary minorities, etc. What do you think that's gonna do when "Having money" codes socialist lol
Detroiter Nicole Williams when asked if Abdul El-Sayed is ‘a bit too left wing to win in Michigan’: “At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell, so at this point: socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!”

I didn't initially realise this was meant to be a negative thing, but when you read the piece it obviously was. Their attempt at a political hit job is quite literally to tell you that Mamdani is baller, and to connect him in your minds with Knicks' victory. Astonishing stuff, let's see how it goes.

I talked to Sakariye Abdi Mohamed, a Somali asylum seeker who was arrested at work, while he was imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay. I called him again once he was deported to Mogadishu. Here's what he had to say.
In August, the Trump administration flew 12 Somali immigrants to an ICE facility at Guantanamo Bay. “Nobody tell us that we’re going to Guantanamo Bay,” Sakariye Abdi Mohamed told journalist Amanda Moore in a phone call from the detention facility. “Just like kidnapping.”

"Under Brazilian federal law, all legislators have immunity...To run for President, Bolsonaro decided not to run for his Senate seat. Now, after losing the Presidential election, he no longer has legislative immunity when his Senate term expires in January 2027." Very Special Episode of no amnesty
Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...
