Holy shit.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Your daily reminder that indie bookstores + public libraries care about you in a way corporations never will 💓

Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

What a game!

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Check out this crowd shot we got in Portland. What a hellhole, amirite?

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

This Right on Right crime is out of control.

Any handwriting experts out there? Oh wait, we don’t need one because we have eyes…

Tremendous crossover move right here:

You don’t need to guess where the Republican Party’s soul went. It’s sitting in silence while Trump offers sympathy to a sex trafficker who enabled Epstein named Maxwell. This isn’t about politics. It’s about who still gives a damn about right and wrong.

Would you like see the ACTUAL footage of what was said about the Epstein files by a hard hitting Democratic leader like . @azsecretary.bsky.social before it was EDITED...and CUT from the footage...because it made the Republican he was debating look like a moron? Thought so. I was able to get it.

August’s arrival may summon the sorrowful specter of summer’s end. But for some, it’s an invitation to soak up the season as much as possible before September’s showers.

Misogyny is a bunch of rich white men raping children on Epstein Island but the only person in jail is the woman.

It is time for state and local governments to arrest masked officers who won’t produce warrants and who have no proof someone is undocumented. Kidnappers should be arrested and indicted and tried for kidnapping and serve the many years such sentences carry.

Truth! 👊🇺🇸🔥

FINALLY Democrats are putting out HARD-HITTING ads. WATCH AND SHARE: #MAGAKidnappers

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

One side screaming dehumanizing language and the other side continuously trying to do a bipartisan with the people screaming at them seems to be getting a lot of people killed.

Newsom’s social media team is killing it. (This isn’t an old picture. It’s from right now. I asked.) 😂😂😂😂

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

BREAKING: ICE has ‘kidnapped 6 roofers’ in South Florida, abandoning the roofing truck by the road and telling no one. Locals say those men have no criminal records, have families here and are living in America legally with valid work permits.THIS is why people are protesting… Enough is Enough! ✨

Kristi Noem has that rare ability to shoot her dog in the face and it *still* not be the worst thing she ever did in her sorry, lying life.

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

ICE crossed a line in LA

Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

Best boy band breakup ever 👊🇺🇸🔥

Jake Tapper can go suck eggs.

🤷🏼‍♂️

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.
