My bets on Chicago.
It's schlock.

8 cops making over $100k each to arrest one man. But your food, water & air are killing you. Your daughter is carrying her rapist’s baby to term & will probably die when it becomes complicated & your veteran son in jail for being unhoused. But at least that Brown guy sitting on a bench is gone.🙄
No one would know Laken Riley's name if her boyfriend killed her.
“We reject the far right’s racist lies about ‘protecting’ women and girls. They are not defenders of women – they exploit violence against women to fuel hate and division,” AMEN www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Moo.
They might not be Kennedy wealthy but they are well-off enough to be comfortable. I know someone who went anti-vax from her homeschool group. They aren't rich but are comfortable and, most of all, have the resources to stay home and home school. The 'comfortable class' memoryholed a lot.
I really hope this becomes the black eye it deserves to be www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
The destruction is the goal. They create the emergency and then think they'll solve it and be heroes. Tariffs, immigration, DC crime, DOGE, vaccines. All predicated on mythical emergencies with 'solutions' dreamed up by delusional white men. They don't live in reality and they don't care who dies.
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...
⚠️ One plan for Gaza circulating in the WH calls for displacing the Palestinian population through either $5k relocation payments or exchanges of land for digital tokens and then turning the territory into “a gleaming tourism resort and high-tech manufacturing and technology hub.” 🎁🔗 wapo.st/4g2eATo

This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
Self-employed people calling for a general strike should be ignored.
Rich people complaining their bougie restaurants and grocery stores don't offer Wonder Bread.
“They advocate the removal of almost all public officials and services, increasing the numbers of the armed forces and police, building up the capacity for repression by the powers that be, no longer public, but corporate and business. [DOGE and militia-style police (ICE)] is a trial run of this.”
If you eat sandwiches at bougie restaurants, you get bougie bread. Bougie places aren't serving Wonder Bread. Do they only buy $20 loaves from artisan bakeries? The grocery stores us plebs go to have entire aisles of mediocre bread. I have many questions about how out-of-touch these people are.
It’s really hard to do insightful satire of right-wing weirdos because almost any ridiculous stance you can come up with, they’ll just express freely without a shred of irony.
The GOP is fine with crime as long as they benefit.
Brant Frost V’s family company is accused of a $140M Ponzi scheme that funneled proceeds into conservative causes. This week he was elected to a local GOP party post without a mention of the scandal. “I would like to continue to serve in a small way.” www.ajc.com/politics/202...
Projection is real.
It's morning.
It's like early winter here. I'm thrilled the highs are only in the 80s.
The new CDC director is trying to kill you. Not just “the most vulnerable”; you, me, everyone. This is a comic book-level evil scenario.
Personally, I prefer tan suits to brownshirts.
FHP also arrested a man at a crosswalk near Pulse in Orlando last night. The bizarre story of the arrest is related below by Fox35 Orlando. This is so pitifully embarrassing for the state. via www.fox35orlando.com/news/man-arr...
"When the public asks, 'How did we get here?' after each mass shooting, the answer goes beyond NRA lobbyists and Second Amendment zealots. It lies in large measure with the strategies of firearms executives like Richard Dyke." www.propublica.org/article/how-...
Our country is being destroyed by rich white men who refuse to admit they are wrong.
They also call it Social Darwinism. Whatever you call it, it's classism. This is about RFK Jr refusing to admit he's wrong. Look at all these people --- Jr, Musk, Trump, Miller, etc. They don't care if people die because they're wrong. All that matters is them being right. It's classism, stupid.
It's classism, stupid. The rich got comfortable with the health their wealth brings them. They mistake it for natural. RFK Jr had the money and leisure time for a rehab. Without money and having to work, he'd be dead. The prosperity gospel is the basis for rich people believing they know all.
Eugenics and the elimination of “weakness” is very literally at the core of every fascist regime that has ever existed. The Nazis were famous anti-science and the very first people they imprisoned were the disabled and chronically ill. This is absolutely classic fascism.
I think someone said she cosigned for her daughter's home. Not sure where I saw it.
Any parent who can't use their phone on the job would get this. Those parents are going to be in lower-wage jobs. These upper-class people are terminally online and don't grasp constant connectivity isn't normal and simply isn't an option for many people.
Inflation and cost of living are way up as Trump appears to be spoiling like a Trump Steak. Also, still no Epstein files. But at least Trump is fighting Cracker Barrel for you. Feeling great yet, everyone? https://meidasnews.com/news/trump-white-house-spoke-to-cracker-barrel-about-logo-switch
She can get the shot through her doctor. Americans ignore a lot of awful shit but the thing they hate the most is being inconvenienced. Long live the revolution.
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
It's a pool patio surface. If it cracked from a garden cart, that's just shoddy construction.
Jimmy Carter trained to go on a nuclear submarine. Trump has gone nuclear on a sub…contractor.
We'll get bruised bananas and bruised shins.
Still want to know what Big Balls said to get his ass whooped.
Classism too.
ICE detain man who is legally in U.S.—son of a decorated military veteran. "As a granddaughter of a Master Sergeant veteran," she said. "I never believed my home would be at risk in the country my family fought for." He is living in U.S. legally—and has never commit a crime. Dallas, Texas.
MTG got caught using two houses for Homestead. That's illegal but she just paid the back taxes.
ICE reportedly took 15 people in that Studio City car wash raid. But in their statement they claim they arrested 4 undocumented people. That means they rounded up as many as 11 legal residents who they had NO RIGHT to arrest bsky.app/profile/lata...
Food on sticks!
Once again, I pity you. Good luck living in fear.
I have a carry conceal permit and was trained by cops. I'm not pissed off. You're defending guns while saying they're dangerous. You're fighting to keep more guns on the streets but worry about those same guns. The only winners are those profiting. They thank you for your service and your life.
You're more likely to die from a gun in your home than a stranger's gun. Your family are more likely to die by your gun than a stranger's. You're more likely to die of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, or suicide than by homicide. Good luck with your delusions of heroism.
I was expecting him to give himself a Kennedy Center honor.
The US Administration has decided to destroy a top network for clinical trials to test new treatments for children with brain cancer. This is another atrocity that will harm Conservative and Liberal Americans, long after the politicians responsible are gone.
Found this gem on my ride today.
Just buy up all the commercial slots on Fox and take the low road. Flip 'em all.
He gets off his private jet and gazes at the tired, unwashed masses who are relegated to commercial flights. "The plebs look unhealthy. Maybe they should work harder."
Twenty years ago, Donald Trump pledged to stand behind New Orleans as it rebuilt after Hurricane Katrina. The place where the 70-story building was supposed to sit is still a parking lot. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Body farms sound like something out of a horror film, but they are real places called taphonomic research facilities—sites where forensic scientists study how the human body decomposes.
President Trump is using our tax dollars to pay for his unwarranted deployment of military troops to D.C. in a blatant attempt to expand his power. We’re fighting back.
NEW: my office has received disturbing whistleblower reports that the Trump administration plans to separate 700 children from their families, lawyers, and support systems. Disappearing vulnerable children beyond the reach of American law and oversight is beyond depravity.
You've been arguing with me this whole time like your racist bullshit is going to change the truth. Stats don't lie. It's the guns, stupid.
I'd chop up raw chicken in one bowl. Chop some squash and zucchini in another. Always keep chopped frozen onions. Did stir fry and changed up the spices from day to day. Also all the precut food made me feel like a TV chef.
New in PN: Making Slavery Great Again "Without irony or shame — and to absolve their followers of any guilt or responsibility — Trump wants to whitewash America’s original sin."
Regardless of shooter ideology (though shooters often share a stated ideology that gets overlooked by initial reporting), mass shootings have an ideological form, which is that agency belongs to those willing to do violence, that the dead deserve their fates, that this is the point of gun power.
It's useful to think of Trump's political style as a form of "fan service," which is distinct from the "constituent service" we used to associate with the role of elected officials. I took this picture in March of *2022* at a Republican event in Salem, Oregon. That flag seemed bonkers at the time.
Your gun is more of a danger to you and those in your home than a stranger. Women are more likely to be killed by an intimate partner than a stranger. As a white woman, I'm sick and tired of being your excuse for more guns and your violent dreams of being a big damn hero. Fuck all the way off.
You're declaring more gun crimes are by minorities while gun crimes by minorities aren't counted enough. Sure, Jan. You need your guns to combat other guns but you support adding more guns. Every good guy with a gun is a good guy until he isn't. Every gun is for self defense until it isn't.
That's the great thing about being wealthy, you get others to do the grown-up work for you.
JD got where he is by talking about how lazy white people are. Now he's tell a brown man that he owes those white people a thanks? Does he make his wife and inlaws thank him too?
Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
You mean should we start with blatant racism? No. We'll end it here.
With O'Neill (apparently) taking over CDC (if they ever get around to firing Monarez), I think it's worth looking back to Project 2025 and asking what they actually intend to *do* to CDC. So, I went to remind myself today. Here's what's in store:
Love watching pilot program after pilot program determine over and over and over that UBI is an unambiguous positive that does not ruin economies or neighborhoods or lives and everyone nods and goes "wow, cool, interesting" and then does fucking nothing until the next pilot program 15 years later
After that, Trump should have told JD that’d it would be safer if they were never in the same place at the same time. You know, just for national safety.
“Universal Healthcare makes me horny.”
a scoopy one from me, with an assist from @accountable.us: Bill Pulte is using Palantir to gather "mortgage fraud" accusations and weaponize them against Dems in order to abet Trump's government capture. but, he formerly disclosed owning Palantir stock—and that's not his only potential conflict:
I ran across one guy who thought that heated political arguments would lead to hot sex. Did not meet him. Some watched too many rom-coms and think opposites attract. One guy I wasn’t very liberal if I wasn’t willing to date conservative guys. As for the older guys, they are chasing fairy tales.
Since the Annunciation shooting in Minneapolis, I have bee transcribing the attackers diary, I have transcribed 231 of 291 pages. The diary is handwritten with (mostly) Cyrillic letters to look “Russian” but are English words spelled phonetically.
Gonna be more fun than a Waffle House brawl.
We all know Vance has been planning this the whole time… sorry… Theil planned it for Vance. The tech bros are tanning their balls for this.
I was thinking the same thing about Putin. At one point, Putin’s face was really puffy like he was on steroidal meds. But Putin expected to take Ukraine in a day. Oops.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
I see them as expecting women to smile and nod. These conservative guys don’t even want relationships. They want to fuck. But they don’t understand why a liberal woman want to fuck them. Naw, I got better things to do like wax my upper lip or mow the lawn.
Political views are values. No, I am not going to date someone who doesn't share my values. Why do these conservative dipshits want to date someone who doesn't share their values?
TARIFFS 🧵 1/ I'm delving into the Fed Circuit's analysis. The question is whether the phrase "regulate... importation" in the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), 50 U.S.C. § 1701 et seq., should be interpreted as including the power to impose tariffs even though it doesn't SAY that.
SCOOP: Donald Trump and DOJ ‘Special Attorney for Mortgage Fraud’ Ed Martin are speaking as often as four times per week as the GOP activist prepares to seek indictments against prominent Democrats www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
The strong… or the wealthy.
"The intentional eroding of trust in low-risk vaccines favoring natural infection and unproven remedies will bring us to a pre-vaccine era where only the strong will survive and many if not all will suffer"
Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.
People are often surprised to learn that Lee was an officer who never made it past colonel. The purported promotion to general was awarded by a treasonous cabal calling itself the "confederate states of america" which was put down by force by the Union army, which also had superior generals.
You know that there’s no god because these people should be struck down by lightning for lies this big.
Mediocre is average. These people are malevolent dipshits.

Fuck. I made a joke about this.
“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?” Dr Bill Foege
I finally read computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum’s 1976 classic “Computer Power and Human Reason.” This book deserves a massive revival in our current age of grotesque and largely thoughtless AI creep into everything:
High INT. Low WIS.
They voted for it.
I often talk about the fact that MAGA does not access the same news as the left wing. I present to you Exhibit A. Dr. Daskalakis’ resignation letter excoriated RFK Jr. and shared that RFK Jr. was lying to the public, manipulating data, and ordering unethical actions. This what Fox News served.
So.... 1)The state of Florida spent >$200 million to build the facility it calls "Alligator Alcatraz" 2) It opened in early July, christened by Trump. 3) Now it is closing, due to a judge's order. 4) It will cost $20 million to dismantle the center, which was used for about 2 months.
