Fuck Rogan. He is still part of their machine. He normalized so much of their rhetoric. He's platformed so many of their ideas and people. He's played devil's advocate with all the sense of responsibility of the stoned jackass fratboy he never grew out of being.

Can someone just lock Schumer in a broom closet already? He's more useful in storage.
MS NOW: Why haven't you gotten a dozen Dem senators & NYC cops, flown to Minneapolis & said to the guys wearing masks 'We've brought people who know how to operate'
SCHUMER: You're right. We need police officers to tell ICE, 'You don't know what the hell you're doing. You need real police training'

This is so fucking stupid that if it was a scene in a movie I'd walk the fuck out. And I sat through all of La La Land.

I'm in rehearsals for Angels in America right now and there is a certain catharsis in playing Belize, yelling at Roy Cohn, and getting to watch him die in disgrace over and over again.

SCOTUS likely to allow state trans sports bans, but a changed tone could signal a narrow ruling
Although a majority appeared unlikely to strike down West Virginia and Idaho's bans, there also seemed to be interest in avoiding a final decision on constitutional questions for now.

Republicans somehow managed to sprint from “we’re trying to protect women in sports” straight to defending a woman being shot in the head three times at point blank range for trying to drive away from a masked thug.

Yeah, so it seems SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE should start arresting ICE agents. Just a thought. Oh wait, thin blue line yadda yadda bullshit. I won't hold my breath waiting for that to actually happen.

If you ever wondered what sentient feces might look like, here it is.
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Republicans don't care that it happened. They care that there's evidence. Prepare for more laws about documenting ICE activity and releasing footage. Even and especially when it comes from their thugs. But they'll do nothing about regulating their fave kidnapping murder squad.
