Now a lot of you are going to be hearing about this incident so let me just get ahead of it and say

Homer Simpson: I want to set the record straight. I thought the cop was a prostitute.

If what was happening in the US currently happened in France, it would have been dealt with by the citizenry ages ago and a new leader would have been installed.

The DOJ…is lying to a court judge. Will that elicit a contempt charge, I wonder.

Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.

Tweet from Joshua J. Friedman: Plaintiffs: No. Possible some children might be in that situation, but everything we could find on short notice is children not in this situation. Judge: Mr. Ensign you saying that *all* these children have parents who are requesting their return to Guatemala? DOJ: That's what I've been told Tweet from Joshua J. Friedman: Judge: During recess, I read provision you cited and then the complaint. Every one of 10 named plaintiffs says they are *afraid* of being sent back to Guatemala. (Reads aloud from declarations.) Doesn't line up with what govt is saying. This is why we have courts.

NEW: Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will hand out $67 BILLION to companies next year to "incentivize" research these companies did YEARS ago. That means next year, the federal government will spend five times more on these handouts than what it spends annually on child care.

Wealthy Americans are helping keep the economy in good stead as they continue to buy first-class plane tickets and high-end sneakers, while more Americans are clipping coupons and cutting back on nonessentials. The economy is changing to reflect the will of the wealthy.

Rudy Giuliani happened to be in the middle of one of his favorite pastimes - RESPECTING WOMEN - when he suddenly broke every single bone in his body. Please do not call and ask any questions because his business partner is taking care of him ❤️

Pretending eugenics and fascism are in no way related is like being aggressively ignorant in public

This is seriously the nucleus of the whole present era of transphobia in which we find ourselves: in order for any of it to make sense, we must suppose that the idea of being transgender popped into existence 10 years ago (and it's a rolling 10 years, like Bart Simpson's date of birth).

The same in the ‘we must retvrn’ and it’s an AI image of a nonexistent 80s bedroom full of video games, movies and comics. They’re wistful for manufactured memories of ephemera. You can eat your white bread, nobody took these things away from you, you yearn for your childhood, to be a child

Griffin’s definition of fascism as palingenetic ultranationalism—specifically a reactionary nostalgia for a lost history of the nation that never existed—remains undefeated. A nostalgia for a type of bread that is ubiquitous, created in the 20th century, and rage towards bread as old as civilisation

Speaking as someone who used to spend time in their chats, SO much of US contemporary fascism is a function of men assuming that the way adulthood worked was, you got a job and in exchange you got a woman to be your mom plus your sex toy. They are ENRAGED that they have a job but no sex mommy.

And the bread thing earlier up thread is such a tell because if even now this dude was doing his own grocery shopping, he'd know that sourdough is both more expensive and less available than the Wonderbread type stuff he's mourning. He's mad his wife is not cooking like a perfect replica of his mom

They don't miss the popcorn so much as they miss having a mom servant who does the grocery shopping and picks up microwave popcorn while they veg watching VHS in their room.

Not just yearn for it, but feel entitled to it. These men believe they are owed a seamless transition from babying by their mom to babying by their wife. The fact that they are not in fact guaranteed that free domestic and emotional labor (delivered by women, of course) is experienced as robbery
