FuckLAPD.com lets you upload an image of a LAPD officer, and identify them, even if they’re wearing a mask or their badge number is being covered.

Do what you will with this information.

We are not in need of more evidence or rhetoric—we are in need of political will and action. We know how to fix what’s broken.

The question is whether we still have the courage to stop pretending and pick up the tools to repair it.

American Politics Only Pretends to Work
The most underappreciated obstacle to political change is the dreary doom loop of institutional process that only bolsters a broken status quo.

No joke, Trump has to fire all of them now. They're a sabotage risk to the administration.

“Disgusting” doesn’t even begin to cover what this is.
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Best picture of the #HandsOff protest I have seen today.

Taken from the Vern Riffe building. A patriot passes it along unaccredited; if it’s yours please step forward!

Someone fetch James Comey. Dying to know his take on the “chatting about war with Yemen on signal while accidentally adding the editor in chief of a major news outlet” since he broke the Clinton email thing (that looks like child’s play compared to this mess).

Holy shit. Republican Harriet Hagemen got torn apart at a town hall in Wyoming last night. In a state that voted for Trump by 46 points.

She tried defending DOGE and it went as well as you’d imagine.

“Deport Elon, Deport Elon!”

Watch to the end…
