Let's play nice. Unnecessarily rude and aggressive people will be blocked.

I have no interest in internet tough guy nonsense.
So very many things do not make sense in this world.

But Nicki Minaj praising the idea of charging DON LEMON with the KKK Act?

Didn't see that one coming.

30 years of being a Hoosier and this feels SO DAMN GOOD!

Congrats Coach Cig and the whole team.

Perfection.

It's an IU thing

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority”

He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

OK let's pull this bus over: ZERO mystery.

He got elected/re-elected b/c of racism, misleading media not held accountable for its content, "both-sidesism" &, critically, systemic undermining of public education in US for decades which produced people who have no idea how to think for themselves.
How Trump was elected president for the most powerful nation on Earth - TWICE - will go down in history as one of the truly biggest mysteries.

POTUS writes [insane] letter to the PM of Norway basically saying he's taking Greenland b/c the Nobel Committee didn't select him.

for so very many reasons, it's well-past time to invoke the 25th Amendment.
Your regular reminder that Republicans in Congress are fine with this

I mean there's a reason. Very few people can pull off Randall Flagg

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Remember when "have you no shame" was enough to stop this shit?
Publishing the names of protesters and contacting their employers to have them fired for exercising their rights is a tactic straight out of the White Citizens Councils.
They're going to start using the Kirk witch hunt strategy.

I expect him to reframe this because it clearly says it's the medal awarded to Machado.

His ego won't tolerate that

thank goodness none of the 26 basketball players indicted today went to IU.

This guy is literally all of us.
The one thing authoritarian leaders usually have going for them is the general apathy of the majority when they make a move solely against a marginal group in society.

But when they occupy an entire city with clumsy, brutal force, that just forces everyone out of that apathy.
This dude is intense and correct

"You see, what had happened was, some of these so-called protectors were little bitches and don't love America"
Bondi: "What happened in Minnesota -- we had 6 prosecutors who suddenly decided they didn't want to support the men and women in ICE. One of them was busy doing a photo shoot with the New York Times while ICE was out there risking their lives ... breaking news tonight: I fired them all."

Really, it's every day.
Wednesday is TRANSPHOBES ARE TRASH DAY!

Congratulations to those who celebrate this wonderful day.

Also, every other day is also Transphobes are Trash Day, I forgot to mention that.

Zero percent chance this is true.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

I've never - in 20 years of practice - seen a more disrespectful brief.

And it's filed by DOJ. In federal court.

Papiere bitte.
The local police should intervene. What ICE is doing is unlawful.
BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis violently detained and arrested a U.S. citizen for one reason only: he refused to prove his citizenship.

No crime. No warrant. No probable cause.

Thinking about Great Expectations' opening ("my father's family naming being Pirrip, and my Christian name being Phillip...")

And I just need to ask Dickens what kind of monster names their kid "Phillip Pirrip?"
