Gov. Kathy Hochul just said Elise Stefanik “is full of shit” on @allinwithchris.bsky.social 😂 (re Stefanik’s “jihadist” comments). Her delivery was perfect

Mary Bruce is the kind of Journalist that all Journalists should aspire to be because she asked the hard questions that we all want to know and didn’t back down when he threatened her and ABC! The way that he got so upset proved that he’s guilty as hell & so is the Crown Prince!

7/Portland has reclaimed the frog as a symbol of its resistance to Trump’s efforts to militarize the city. Perhaps women should claim the glamorous, sassy Muppet Miss Piggy, a known diva with a fierce karate chop, as their own symbol

"Generated by AI, which can make mistakes."

This appeared on my phone's news aggregation feed with a time stamp more than *three hours* before the game start time.

Even if this proves to be accurate later, it's shameful that this is what "news" has become.

If anyone kept the #commanders / #lions game on when The Grabber showed up in the broadcast booth, will you post here when that a-hole is gone? I might turn the game on again.

My son and his girlfriend are at the #Commanders v #Lions game with #Trump. Listen to the crowd. Listen to the Boos. Look at my son's girlfriend's face and everyone else's face.

If the fans at the #Commanders/ #Lions game boo the Felon #Trump, will #Fox show it, or cover it up? Assuming anyone is still in the stadium at that point.

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer.

The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial.

Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.
Gov. Greg Abbott pardons Daniel Perry, veteran who killed police brutality protester in 2020
A Travis County jury sentenced Perry to 25 years in prison last year, prompting Abbott to ask the state parole board to review his case.

Fascinating thread:
last night as i was trying to wind down for bed i had a unified theory of what the fuck just happened, and i wrote it down, and filed it under "well, i can't talk about this on main without sounding insane until and unless the perp gets caught and is provably a groyper"

anyways, great news! (1/X)
