these useless idiots were screaming at my black, overwhelmingly democratic neighborhood tonight while doing shitall to protest anyone who supports this policy or is even remotely MAGA. i fucking loathe their performative bullshit that’s ALWAYS directed at black people bsky.app/profile/vana...
once again proving they’re the most useless protesters ever, a small group of white kids who clearly don’t live here have gathered to scream about palestine + unrhythmically beat a drum at the corner of MLK + othello (a predominantly black neighborhood) in seattle

But sure, go yell at that lady who isn't the President who is on a book tour. Very activist, much protest.

Here’s the condensed version: we’re offended that we got caught expressing how we really feel.

Same old 1st amendment misunderstanding.
We have freedom of speech in America.
We do not have freedom from being judged for the content of your speech.

You are free to say:”I love Hitler”
And I am free to judge you to be a horrible person.
Due process complete.

lol. For racist white guys who say they love Hitler, “due process” and “fairness.”

For Latino fishermen accused of drug smuggling, summary execution.

Also, it’s amusing to demand due process here. You’re experiencing social sanction, fellas. No one is sending you to prison.

And there you have it. These strikes are clearly not legal. Pete will push commanders aside until he finds one who won’t question these extrajudicial killings. #SOUTHCOM

America didn’t win WWII through “inferior tech," it won through organization, integration, and strategy, as well as the myth that Nazi Germany’s “exquisite” weapons outclassed the Allies, and critiques how the media keeps misusing history to sound profound. My latest⬇️

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.

"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."

It's a must-read:

My ass is staying home because I went to the last one and they gave the mic to a ProHamas speaker who immediately denigrated Jews. It wasn’t about No Kings, as intended. It became something else at that point, and I left. I’m not walking with folks like that.

Farewell to the Spaceman.

Ace Frehley's riffs helped define the legendary stadium sound of KISS. His self-taught, no-lessons approach to guitar work encouraged a generation of fans to pick up a guitar and chase bedroom riff greatness.

You would think from this statement that Maccabi Tel Aviv fans posed a safety risk. But the safety risk is that they would be attacked by racist thugs. Zero tolerance for excluding Jews by fueling hate against them them claiming you can’t keep them safe!

excited to finally say how I felt about Gavin’s legal argument here:

lmao
Federal court (after six years!) rules on and dismisses Gavin McInnes' lawsuit against the @splcenter.org

The case sought to declare it defamatory to say McInnes and the Proud Boys are "extremists," "far-right," a "hate group", or "white supremacists."

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Aside from what is actually alleged in the complaint
(including materials adopted in it) , which is all the
court may look at, see Coral Ridge, 6 F.4th at 1253,
Mcinnes's briefing returns to the same losing refrain: the Proud Boys says it is not a hate group; SPLC
acknowledges that the Proud Boys says it is not a hate
group and that the group contends that it has engaged in
non-hateful activity; therefore, SPLC acted with actual
malice in describing it as a hate group. Under this
flawed formulation, any published statement denied by a
public figure is, by virtue of that denial, published
with actual malice.
squarely rejected. The Eleventh Circuit has noted that "there is a
fair debate about whether the term hate group is
definable in such a way that it is provable as false" and
that the "debate is complicated [further] by the fact
that SPLC put its own definition of the term on its
website." Coral. Ridge, 6 F.4th at 1252 n.7. This court
need not resolve at this time the questions posed in that
debate. But if it had to, it has already found that
SPLC's hate group designation was not provable as false
because "there is no single, commonly understood meaning
of the term 'hate group'" from which to test the label's
veracity. Coral. Ridge, 406 F. Supp. 3d 1258, 1274 (M.D.
Ala. 2019) (Thompson, J.).
The underlying issue highlighted throughout
Mcinnes' s arguments is that SPLC has amassed too much
influence over social media companies. This is neither
here nor there. It has been said that the film critic
Roger Ebert could make or break a film's financial... success in three words or less. Ebert could have declared
that "The Godfather" was a hateful, misogynistic, deeply
racist film and that could have ruined the film's boxoffice.
But that would not, by fiat of Ebert' s influence,
make his judgment-based opinion a fact. That is, Ebert
calling the movie hateful does not make the movie, in
fact, hateful.
Do you know what it means for countries to be allies? It seems you are misinformed and prejudiced about Israel.

Washington Post v. Democracy Docket on today's Bolton news.

I cannot express how dangerous it is that legacy media is normalizing Trump's targeting of his political opponents. I don't like Bolton. But what is happening here is dangerous and wrong.

The Trump administration plans to shift terrorism prevention funding from Democratic-led states toward those led by Republicans, government records show, as it overhauls a $1 billion program created after the 9/11 attacks.

Translation: If Dems vote for the CR, Thune will allow a vote on extending ACA subsidies then Mike Johnson will kill that in the House.
Do you have a publication history for the prelude?

Newsom: We were under the understanding that we were going to close I-5 — up to 80,000 vehicles tomorrow and Saturday. They seemed to have backed off of that. They were going to move forward with a display, but they’re not clearly sharing that with state officials.
