Ben Luhmann, who filmed this, is one of the two high schoolers from a conservative Christian family I rode along with in Chicago when they were searching for ICE agents there.

When I asked him how his faith informed his efforts to document ICE/DHS, he told me this. religionnews.com/2025/11/25/h...
"But also I feel like Christians should be the first people to fight for this," Ben interjected, as Sam nodded. "What have we been taught our entire life? Feeding the hungry, clothing the naked. This is basic, basic stuff. Christians have always been people who are supposed to be there for the marginalized, the people that are being hurt by systems, the people that don't have a voice."

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.

Trump: "They're paid agitators and insurrectionists. Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion at a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree by Somalians. They've taken it. Somalians. A lot of very low IQ people."

Like I honestly don't care whether or not a politician thinks I'm "really" a woman or whatever. I care that I'm allowed to access healthcare that I need. I care that I shouldn't be discriminated against on the basis of being trans. "Hurr hurr what is a woman?" is a troll question.

Quite a quote from Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair, who was asked about his STOP THE GENOCIDE eye black after today’s game

www.usatoday.com/story/sports...
"At the end of the day, it's bigger than me. The things that are going through makes people uncomfortable, imagine how (Palestinians) feel?" he said. "That's the biggest thing. I have no affiliation, no connection, to these people - other than the fact that I am a human being. If you have a heart and you're a human being, and you see what's going on in this world, you check yourself real quick. "I'm sitting here crying about football when there's people dying every single day." Al-Shaair is the Texans' 2025 Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee.

There’s a certain kind of aging provocateur who can’t imagine losing on the merits, so every loss becomes proof of discrimination.

Like... dude, you lost to Ricky Gervais. I don't think it was about "wokeness." variety.com/2026/awards/...
Variety @Variety X.com #BillMaher says he predicted his Golden Globes loss because "this woke town f—ing hates" that "I speak freely": "Obviously, it's something | said. Well, it's everything I said," and "I speak freely, and this woke town fucking hates that. And that's okay. I've made my peace with that. So I know how this goes. This is not something I would ever ... I have good standing. If l win this by some miracle, to go what people always say, 'I can't believe it, I'm shocked. I really should be shocked." Maher has received 41 Emmy nods across his projects, only winning once for outstanding informational series or special for "Vice" in 2014 in his role as executive producer. This year's Golden Globe nomination was his first. He lost to Ricky NEWS Bill Maher Predicted His Golden Globes Loss Because 'This Woke Town F-ing Hates' That i Speak Freely' VARIETY

This unbelievably dim loser thinks he comes off well in this video, as he tries to force his way into a daycare.

The employee asks “what department” they’re from, and he says “we are from ourselves” — because being an entitled white man empowers you to act like a vigilante, apparently?
