For the foreseeable future, if it's not about stopping the orange shitgibbon and mars boy, I'm probably not going to be interested. I'll be happy to look at kitties and titties after we get all this straightened out.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Governor Walz has activated the Minnesota National Guard to ensure the safety of Minneapolis residents. Trump has put 1,500 US Army troops on standby for deployment to Minneapolis in response. American soldiers battling against American soldiers in order that he can attack American civilians?

I have seen all, I think, of the videos of this horrific murder, including from the killer's phone. My question...who did he call, or text, immediately before and after he shot Renee Nicole Good? I have read that she was a trained observer...was she on a list?

Sharyn Alfonsi, whose piece on CECOT was killed by CBS, is more well-connected than Bari Weiss. They ensured her piece would be seen by millions more viewers than had it just run on 60 minutes. See what happens when journalism is liberated from capitalism? It empowers and is empowered by the people.

For most of his life, Trump has been slipperier than a greased pig, and one alive has been able to take him down. So I find a certain poetry, certainly Poe-esque, in the image of the cold, dead hand of murdered Jeffrey Epstein reaching out of his grave to grab Trump by the ankle and pull him under.

Firefox has fixed a long-standing bug. For those of us who hide our task bar, it wouldn't come back up with Firefox opened. Had to double tap the resize icon in the upper right corner, a work around I have not seen in any Firefox users' forums, but an easy work around. Don't have to do that now.
