I will try to hold back too many profanities, but it's seriously FUCKED UP that anyone but this woman and her doctor know that she's pregnant, with a doomed fetus, and needs an abortion, and it's FUCKED UP that anyone gets to overrule her decision, and it's FUCKED UP that she has to flee the state during an obviously traumatic time, and it's FUCKED UP that the FUCKERS will vilify her now, hell maybe even prosecute her, and it's FUCKED UP that making a difficult time much more difficult is "good politics" in the state of Texas, which, by the way, is an utterly FUCKED UP place.

Katie Porter is one of the very few good guys. She'd be a terrific governor for California, so I expect the Democratic Party will do all they can to oppose her.

Like Trump, Santos never told the truth about anything, but remember that a majority of Republicans in the House, 112 of 222, voted not to expel him.

I have a right-wing neighbor who voted Trump three times, says climate change is a hoax, and hates me for sometimes wearing a tie-dye jacket, but he says with a grin all over his face, "Did you hear about that insurance CEO who got shot dead?" and he laughs and laughs and gives me a thumbs-up.

America stands united.

And no decent person needs to be trans to agree.

That's not a "slip-up" unless there's an apology and the info is taken down, which hasn't happened, and won't. It's a DHS doxing.

Jonathan Joss' widower says shooting was a homophobic attack

Dude doesn't quite connect the dots. The government — under Biden — had a deal to save his farm. The government — under Trump — is changing all the rules, reneging on the contract. If all he groks from this is "government bad," then game over. Except it's not a game.

The officers’ counterclaim alleges Galanakis defamed them and invaded and their privacy when he posted to social media a series of police body-camera videos documenting his arrest and appended to those videos his own commentary on the incident.

Unfuckingbelievable.

This is so perfectly 2025.

The father's black, the mother's white, the prosecutor is a Republican, and this is North Carolina. And this is The New York Times, so the parents' race isn't even mentioned. Wouldn't know it's a mixed marriage if the paper hadn't included a photo, but you can bet District Attorney Travis Page knows.

I used to work for an insurance company (life, not health), and when business was sluggish my duties included tidying and auditing very, very old policies. 99% of policies from the 1930s-50s were for men, and the few women's policies all had LETTERS FROM THEIR HUSBANDS AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE.

    "The evidence continues to mount by the day," Steube said without providing details about the evidence he was citing.

From everything else in the article, there's no indication of anything necessitating a plainclothes operation of the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, local police department, and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, all with a made-up ruse to get the man out of his house. What's the point, unless they simply wanted violence?

Dude has every right to point a gun at plainclothes cops attacking his brother, cops who haven't even said they're cops. Kinda surprised he didn't squeeze the trigger.

Motherfuck you, AP: Musk is committing open sabotage. IT IS NOT ABOUT "COST-CUTTING."

You lost me at "White House claims." Gonna need a reputable source, please.

"Here's another chance to make people miserable," said some Republican, because making people miserable is their favorite thing to do. Your birth cert is needed for all manner of things — a driver's license, a job, a mortgage, etc — all of which will now be much more difficult, and involve telling your life story at every bureaucrat's counter.

Republicans are fucking monsters.

My guesstimate is that Reddit — with BotDefense up and running — was at least 20% bots posting articles and then bots having conversations about those bot-posted articles. Without BotDefense? Yikes.

So all it takes to get police to intervene in an ICE abduction is... being good buddies with the police chief.

Donald Trump can do anything he wants. He always has, nobody has ever stopped him, and realistically, nobody ever will.
