MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

A HISTORIC MILESTONE: For the first time, solar power generated more electricity globally than nuclear, making it the world’s 4th largest power source. In just 5 years, solar output nearly tripled—from 79 TWh (Apr 2020) to 233 TWh (Apr 2025). The energy transition is speeding up. @ember-energy.org

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Hey Eric, could you read this section of the current New York Times Code of Conduct for me?
GIFTS AND BUSINESS COURTESIES
We must never offer or accept anything that is
intended to improperly influence a business
decision or gain an unfair advantage or that is
being given (or might perceived to be given)
for any other illegitimate purpose.
Exchanging customary gifts and business courtesies with third parties
is often part of business relationships and appropriate under many
circumstances. But we need to be mindful that these exchanges could
raise a conflict of interest, compromise our independence, constitute
an improper benefit or create the appearance of impropriety.
What are business courtesies?
Business courtesies include but are not limited to:
· Meals and/or drinks
· Entertainment (including tickets to sporting or other events)
· Travel and/or hospitality
· Honoraria (payments for a service or participation in an event
that are given as appreciation, such as speaking fees)
· Use of a donor’s time, equipment, materials or facilities
When giving or receiving any gift or business courtesy, we need to be
guided by good judgment and our obligation to remain and appear
independent and impartial. We may only offer or accept a gift or business
courtesy that is:
· For a legitimate business purpose
· Reasonable in value and not lavish
· Lawful, ethical, customary, professional and appropriate under
the circumstances
· Provided openly and transparently
· Not prohibited by the other organization involved

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.

Positive outcome from Supreme Court: The Government must facilitate the return of Maryland man wrongly sent to El Salvador prison. Sets up Judge Boasberg to order same for detainees sent in defiance of his orders. Good judicial confrontation with lawlessness.

I'd bet most Americans don't realize the six Nazi extermination camps during World War II also involved rendition to a foreign country. Auschwitz, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, Chełmno and Majdanek were all located in Poland. Not Germany. Important historical fact.

I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it on Fox News in February 2014. In my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning of his plan: www.hidinginplainsightbook.com

I don't give a shit what he chooses or declines to rule out. It's not his fucking choice. Stop writing about it as if his opinion matters. Write about it like it is: unquestionably illegal, not a debate, not his call, not going to fucking happen.

The Democratic Party’s problems are not about being moderate or left. That’s a consultant and pundit red herring The problems are in party organization, the culture of “it’s their turn” nominations, candidate recruitment, gerontocracy, inability to shape media topics, and coming off hella lame

Trump lied to voters and said that Biden was letting dangerous criminals run free when the opposite was true - Biden ordered immigration authorities to prioritize dangerous criminals. This is the result of changing that policy - deporting law-abiding people for minor violations.
