BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

I need more folks to know that Brooke Smith of Silence of the Lambs fame (she's instructed to put the lotion in the basket) was a member of the 1980s New York Hardcore scene and a photographer who documented that scene prolifically. She has a book called Sunday Matinee, which is absolutely stunning.

Look obviously it sucks, everything he does sucks, but Trump's dedication to 1987 Wedding Food is one of his only sincerely held beliefs. I am putting a bounty on a photo of the fucked up pasta primavera they're serving. You know there's shredded carrot in that thing.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.
Most people I talk to find this counterintuitive. But just a moment’s thought changes that. People who move to a frontier don’t tend to be conformists. They go to the frontier to be free of social pressures they find oppressive — including pressure to attend church.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
it is always worth remembering that vance made a conscious decision to be a person of low character. he has eagerly contorted himself into evil for the sake of what amounts to a whiff of power.
I don’t know how you fix the problem of people not knowing this stuff was going on/Is going on.
It’s an unpopular opinion here, but I maintain we are ultimately capable of helping most people be and do better and should never stop trying
A photo of a pro-Trump protester on the streets of Portland in the summer of **2018.** The leader of the group this person was associated with was a frequent guest on Fox News and made the rounds on the "conservative" lecture circuit. "RWDS" stands for "right wing death squad."

You've probably seen this already but just in case you haven't: youtu.be/31rrZeTH9HI?...
The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.
Presidents used to bomb places overseas to distract from their shortcomings. In this case, he’s credibly implicated in the Epstein scandal, beef is more expensive than any time in modern history and the great economy took a huge dump. This is just as much about his lousy job numbers. Pure loser shit

Gov. Pritzker enlists the public's help: "What we've asked is that people pull out their iPhone or their Android phone and film what they're seeing. Take a video of everything so see so that we can know if, in fact, laws are being broken by these federal officials coming into our state."

HAHAHAHA. Man. This is the most hilarious outcome. Trump bailed him out of federal prosecution. Dangled a cushy job being an ambassador to Kushner's Kingdom, and he still said, "I think I got this." Uncut delusion.

"The only thing we have to fear is not being woke" -- FDR, according to my PragerU curriculum.
If you lived in a small towns, rural areas or non-metro cities, there were always "conservatives" and then people who were openly racist. The latter was a minority contingent of anti-social losers. Internet gave them community and a larger voice where they would otherwise be isolated and shunned.
No consumer rights. Accepting what you get. This is why corporations "play ball." Whatever they give to the administration will pale in comparison to what they make by hamstringing refunds and charging ridiculous fees.

Few would have guessed a former Wall Street guy would end up helping show that the government taxing the shit out of consumers and corruptly extorting big businesses like it's the mid-90s in Turkmenistan is bad economic policy. But there he is, blaming the mess on a secret lefty cabal.
CBS News is giving up the power it has to hold “Face the Nation” interviewees to account. Following pressure from Trump, it has agreed not to edit interviews, even to remove false statements or propaganda uttered by political operatives and officials, or add explanatory context.
