"Breyer's scathing ruling accused the Trump administration of “willfully” violating the law, saying it used troops for functions that were barred by their own training materials, refused to “meaningfully coordinate with state and local officials” and “'coached’” federal law enforcement agencies"
Oh, Brain would help out Inspector Cujo (with the direction of Cujo's niece Pinky) but the story wasn't really about him...
Didn't have any shot to death in WA this weekend that I heard about, but there was a fire crew at the Bear Gulch blaze on the Olympic Peninsula that was waylaid by ICE so they could present credentials. Two were taken into custody. For reference, the fire was 13% contained at the time. It's now 10%.
ICE is scared of a salami sub. The Guard is engaging in malicious compliance, because while the letter of the orders they've been given are technically legal and therefore must be obeyed, the spirit as expressed by the Pres and other officials is not and therefore must not be obeyed.
Did he? Because while the post was stupid, it didn't seem to contain his trademark spelling errors and weird punctuation.
This is not reporting. This is propaganda.
Inspector Cujo, yeah. Peter Sellers played him in the movie. He was rabidly dogged in pursuit of crime, which might be where the confusion arises.
It doesn't say "Trump". It says "the President". There's still hope.
Drop an old person you are going to turn into in the future.
Stephen King wrote a book about Dean Koontz?
And its famous tagline: "You can't beat this dead horse."
Results so stunningly clear they inspired this classic xkcd (xkcd.com/2400/):
But Musk is an illegal immigrant - he came to the US from South Africa on a student visa, dropped out, and just kind of stayed.
Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.
Also, I’m just so angry that I’ve heard no less than three pseudoscientists TODAY refer to the “cell of mitochondria” and I want to shew through leather. MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWERHOUSE OFFFFFF THE CELL it is a part OF a cell you grifting nincompooping vacuoles!!
Hey, it's not the Pueblo's fault that Europeans decided to decimate the population because they weren't Catholic.
Speedy Alka-Seltzer? I thought he was on the Justice League.
Mid cycle gerrymander when they drew the original maps. Every article should have that front and center.
Graham Platner, an oyster farmer from Maine, announced a bid for the seat of incumbent GOP Sen. Susan Collins. His goal? To “claw back wealth that was created by the labor and the consumption of working class Americans who have not shared in the riches they helped build.”
We’re only a few years removed from creatjng a vaccine to protect against a deadly airborne virus in a matter of months. Now, we have a scion fail son running the CDC into the ground not because it failed, but because its success conflicts with RFK Jr’s eugenicist ideology.
Cracker Barrel was founded two months after Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the Moon. 56 years is a laughably short "heritage", by anyone's standards. Oh, and there are remains of structures here that also predate European settlement. See for example the Pueblo cliffs, or Cahokia Mound.
Who's the worst cartoon character? I vote Henry, the dad from Dennis the Menace. He's a mask deliberately invented to whitewash the identity of his creator, Hank Ketcham, one of the worst men to ever make comics. It's gonna take a thread.
The mental fitness of elderly Presidents has been such an important issue for the media lately, so I expect wall-to-wall coverage of how President Trump has once again thrown a fit about one of his own signature policies, showing no awareness of how it arose or who executed it.
the student-author wasn't a very original thinker, or didn't care about the topic at hand.
The issue I have with these "AI detector" lists is that every single example *began* with human writing - LLMs create nothing, they merely aggregate and average what already exists. There are plentiful examples of, for instance, high school and college essays being flagged as "AI" simply because /1
I feel like saying again that the sign that a grift is collapsing is that the lies become ever more outrageous to try to counterbalance the bleak reality.
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this; most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue! well, we do. so fuck off.
Donald Trump is the executive producer of every news show in America
Tulsi Gabbard is *very obviously* a foreign intelligence asset and I hope we all live long enough to see her tried and convicted for it.
lmao YOU LITERALLY TARIFFED LUMBER
He is the most dangerous crackpot in America, but you don't have to take my word for it. Here are NINE former directors of the CDC saying the same thing.
"Ordinarily, she would confirm an infection after sending a sample to the CDC for testing its lab would perform — the only one in the U.S. capable of doing so. The CDC no longer has the capacity to do that.” www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...
God help America if we ever have a major war again or a depression. Apparently, if everything doesn't go perfectly in a crisis half the country just completely falls apart. It really wasn't the end of the fucking world that things shut down for a while during COVID. The problem was all the dying!
it's very funny that US Dem senators have their brains cooked by various online rightie media accounts. like why does chris murphy listen to the nazbol red scare podcast
This morning (9/1) at 8 AM feds pulled over a couple at 18th & Park NW. They smashed the window, dragged the husband out & arrested him. When a community member stopped to record they were grabbed & threatened w/ pepper spray by this piece of shit. @mayorbowser.bsky.social do you welcome this too?
These folks deserve all of the hell for manufacturing the consent Opinion: Democrats can work with DOGE. I know exactly where to start. | Congressman Ro Khanna share.google/rsd8KiYTDN7E...
They were never going to stop at what was "legal" or not. They didnt to begin with! All art/media is on the chopping block. You have to fight this NOW. keep calling, contact your reps. Make some noise!
The fuck is wrong with republicans?
BREAKING: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson defies President Trump by leading a "no troops in Chicago!"
Weird, putting tariffs on construction materials and throwing day laborers in concentration camps should have solved the supply problem by now
These people are unrepentant racists but also too cowardly to use the slur they so desperately want to.
If you’ve ever compared unvaccinated kids to vaccinated kids, you’ve seen the former are more likely to die.
As I've said - if (fates forbid) Newsom gets the nomination, I'll close my eyes and vote against his opponent, but we really can do better before the primaries IN 2028, ALMOST THREE YEARS FROM NOW.
I think Mary would really enjoy Type O Negative.
An 11-year-old boy who was shot while playing the “ding dong ditch” prank in Houston on Saturday night has died, the authorities said.
I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.
Newsom would move right. As for "fighting", see Pritzker or Walz. Hell, even Ferguson in WA is taking more substantive steps - Newsom's just mocking Donnie online, which is about what the rest of us have been doing. Again, we've got three years, and I'm comfortably certain that we can find better.
Saw another reply post saying “nobody will be punished for any of the administration’s crimes” in response to a post saying there need to be charges. Again, I say: fuck doomerism. You don’t have to be 100% convinced justice will be done but being the opposite is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Right now, there *aren't* "only two choices". Let's get a better choice in the '28 primaries.
And? You can't vote in Dem primaries in '28?
We could - but with this much lead time, I'd rather aim upward than downward.
You don't want something better than a man who ordered all the cities in CA to pass ordinances criminalizing homelessness? Better than someone who invites right-wing stooges onto his podcast so he can agree with them??
Exclusive: President Trump and international partners are discussing plans to build a “Riviera of the Middle East” on the rubble of Gaza. One plan would establish U.S. control and pay all of Gaza’s more than 2 million population to leave.
This should be a bigger story. A government official had the YouTube channel of a private citizen shut down bc he didn’t like what that citizen was saying. This administration’s version of free speech is a joke.
We're not selecting a 2028 candidate today. And all Newsom's doing is online trolling - funny, but not exactly leadership, and a lot less funny when he's actively discarding his constituents (and their belongings!).
America is already Gavin - anti Trans, anti-homeless. Let's get a better candidate for 2028!
Wouldn't you rather vote for a Dem who *doesn't* hate you, though?
I think we can do better. Primaries are still almost three years away.
One reason why I won't vote for Newsom in the primaries - he won't be the lesser evil there. (I'm hoping for Walz or Porter, but there's still three years to go.)
Still, you gotta admit the one thing that always works is scolding the electorate to suck it up instead of demanding better candidates, it never ever fails and has worked literally every time and *holds finger to ear* hold on I’m receiving new information
not gonna put that in your feed and i’m not thrilled i looked directly at it. all of this fuss for gavin newsom, apropos of….nothing? nothing! his most recent thing was attacking the unhoused! IT IS FUCKING AUGUST 2025 AND THERE ARE SOLDIERS OCCUPYING DC & LA!
Federal agents in DC have been starting dangerous car cases for small stuff like tinted windows. The chases violate DC police policy. Out of 10 cases, six ended in a crash. One car had a minor in back. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
I mean, here in WA there's a massive wildfire in a temperate rain forest, so...
its genuinely fucking insane how much water the press carries for Trump

THIS IS WHY WE HAVE PROCESS. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE COURTS.
Sooknanan: I have counsel telling me that there are children whose parents did not request their return to Guatemala. I have declaration representations contrary to what you're telling me. How does that [factual discrepancy] get resolved?
@LePapillonBlu2 Maya We are living in the dumbest timeline in human history. 😳
Buried lede: judges can in fact turn planes around
This whole thread is just appalling. The hearing arises from the Trump admin conspiring with a foreign country to violate a federal court order in the middle of the night so it can deny due process to children who escaped dangerous circumstances.
Donald Trump's health care cuts are going to be catastrophic. First, Americans will see their premiums skyrocket, and millions will be priced out of coverage. Then, millions will lose Medicaid, and hospitals will begin to close. Democrats are fighting to repeal these cuts.
Far right influencer Erick Erickson has a wife who has lung cancer and can’t get the COVID vaccine due to RFK Jr’s orders. A fact for which he blames … Joe Biden
The people who brave the Darien Gap and the Mexican desert to come to America and build a new life are more American on the day they show up then J.D. Vance and his disgusting ban of fascist freaks have ever been in their fucking lives.
Well, there you go. That's exactly what I'm talking about. Folks on here panicking about armed MAGA monitoring polls, like they're the only ones armed, but folks like you (and me, if WA still had polling places) can force them out.
Perfection.
Have mentioned this before, but I spent an entire Christmas season in hospital, in an oxygen tent, as a child because I had a not-even-particularly-bad case of pertussis. I'd like us to go back to the time when telling people you once had "whooping cough" got you a "that's not a real thing" look.
points out IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH. You really should read the entire source, rather than cherry-picking the words you like.
Okay, I'm going to hold your hand as I tell you this - the federal government has no say in how states run elections. See Article I, section 4 of the US Constitution, as well as Amendment 10. There is no "force of law" that an EO can exert outside of federal regulations, as the article you cite
Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
You're either an idiot, or purely incapable of connecting dots. None of this was inevitable - and Gore didn't "fold", the American voters did because the idea of a Black woman running the country was just too much.
I think you're on for a hell of a shock. Did LAPD do what he wanted?
Sure we can. No one has to "stop him" from this, any more than we have to "stop him" from levitating and throwing lightning. Sure, he'll issue his EO - and we'll ignore it, because it's not a law. He'll send his thugs to polling places - and we'll ignore them, because they're powerless.
"Oh no, they have guns!!" So do we. There are more guns in this country than people.
Are you "intimidated" by people who can't withstand a salami sub??
They backed down from Dodger Stadium and MacArthur park when the activists and mayor showed up. They are dangerous, but also a paper tiger trying to look bigger than it is through photo ops & displays of force. They turn away from organized scrutiny & resistance. When the whole country stands up,
Or the rebellion would have failed, slaughtering thousands and giving Bush the excuse to be the dictator he tried to be under the USA PATRIOT Act. Or the government would have been overthrown, and (as happens so very often) something vastly worse would have arisen in its place (see Kerensky).
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
Always look at the data yourself. But also know the limits of your ability to interpret it. 🧪 Experts are experts because they spend their lives learning everything about one tiny thing. They can put that thing into context. They know the literature about it. They can debate its nuances. 1/3
Opinions are nothing *but* bias - they're concepts based on feeli is, not data. Unbiased data are facts, not opinions. It's not my "unbiased opinion" that water boils at 100c at sea level - that's a fact. Again, you're confusing the two.
FL was on its *sixth* recount when the *Supreme Court* ordered it stopped. Were you expecting Al Gore, of all people, to lead an armed rebellion or something??
A big sign that any grift is falling apart is that the lies become ever more outrageous to try to shock and awe the rubes into submission. Same thing is happening with "AI."
BREAKING: A federal judge has *blocked* the Trump administration from abruptly deporting 600 unaccompanied Guatemalan children — perhaps within a matter of hours — granting an emergency restraining order after advocates called the plan illegal + dangerous. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Not sure whose fault it is primarily that most people don't seem to know that the president is basically a manager whose job is to carry out the will of Congress, and not The Country's Boss
