This is especially key because we know that the January 6th seditionists, like all Trumpists are prone to crimes like sexually abusing children, and spousal abuse. They are, of course, setting the stage for allowing January 6th seditionists to be able to legally sexually assault children.
This is an important new line being crossed. Trump isn't just pardoning the act of attempting to overthrow the government on January 6: he's pardoning *those people* for committing crimes generally. He may be creating a group of (federally) legally untouchable people.
Trump re-pardons a Jan. 6 defendant to erase unrelated gun conviction

At this point, abolish OpenAI is the moderate position.

Wanna learn more about the pastor in this photo?

I talked to him yesterday.

He's currently part of a lawsuit against DHS, in part due to this exact moment: religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

I could have sworn we needed to be at war for a president to have war powers.

last night as i was trying to wind down for bed i had a unified theory of what the fuck just happened, and i wrote it down, and filed it under "well, i can't talk about this on main without sounding insane until and unless the perp gets caught and is provably a groyper"

anyways, great news! (1/X)

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

How can you guys handle all that freedom?

When I got caught in the U.S. at SeaTac during Trump's whole "ban middle eastern people from coming to the US" in 2017, and finally made it back to Canadian customs, the customs guy was like, "You look freaked out, do you want a hug?"

And I got a hug. 🇨🇦
NEW—Earlier this evening agents from ICE/other fed agencies were outside Rhode Island Ave metro in DC asking people exiting the station for their IDs, per someone who experienced it. When the person presented their Real ID license, an agent said that wasn't sufficient. Luckily they had secondary ID.

one question to ask the editorial board is whether there is a minimum bar for what constitutes "american democracy." if most people in most states are gerrymandered out of effective political representation, is that democracy?

Just learned from LinkedIn that a Heritage Foundation affiliate is now FOIA-ing (or equivalent) instructors’ syllabi to go snooping for supposed illegal DEI at state universities. It’s hard to describe how far past McCarthyism we’re headed here.

@destinythegame.bungie.net the sieve encounter shouldn’t be time limited. Some of us don’t have enough time to play to wait 30, 40 minutes.

#Baltimore Mayor #BrandonScott invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m, planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, & opened several schools up for summer classes. Crime is down 62%. 🔥🔥 www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Baltimore is seeing the city’s fewest homicides in 50 years. Here’s why.
Multiple people have taken credit for the historic drop that mirrors a national decrease in violent crimes. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says it’s due to a community-based approach to gun violence.

Quickbooks is one of the worst products I've used ever. Not because it doesn't do what I need it to do... Its because they keep fucking with how it does it. Today I sent a round of invoices, as I do every 1st of the month, and noticed that AI was changing the templated messages I send.

Easy to be flippant, but Trump going on the record to tell the media he is not in control of his govt and is being misinformed by advisors. Someone else is running the country.

So many remarkable exchanges in the Time transcript. A less remarked upon bit is that Trump appears to learn information that has been driving markets *from the interviewer*. time.com/7280114/dona...

Trump just issued an executive order titled: ADDRESSING EGREGIOUS ACTIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

It says "the United States shall promote the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation"
