Obama: The weird videos of a U.S. President with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet and dumping poop on protesting citizens… All of that is designed to distract you from the fact that your situation has not gotten better.

Started his career as a bigot against gay New Yorkers, resigned as governor for being an abusive misogynist, ending it with anti Muslim bile and now just some casual mixing up of Black journalists while criticizing diversity.

You can't make this up.

Another host, Eugene Daniels, asked Mr. Cuomo what he meant by diversity being a “weakness.”

“Diversity can be a weakness if you have antipathy among groups, Jonathan,” Mr. Cuomo said, mistaking Mr. Daniels for his co-host Jonathan Capehart, both of whom are Black.

Yes, I’ve been indicted. But I don’t want people to lose sight of what got us here.

Thank you for having me, @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @allinwithchris.bsky.social to discuss why these atrocities need to end and why there needs to be real accountability.

After whatever happened in Butler, PA, when Trump got to the hospital, the first thing he said to aides was, "How is it playing? How does it look on TV?"

Are those the words of a man who had just survived a real assassination attempt?

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do.

Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

Why can’t the governors order their local law enforcement to intervene and tell these monsters that “in our state, we give people their right to due process”???
Do we have NO ONE to stop this madness on the spot?!?😡

Over the course of five weeks, fighters from the State Border Guard Service brigade “Pomsta” (“Revenge”) shot down 100 Russian drones with a net in the Serebrianskyi forest. In one of those cases, the pilots saved the life of a Ukrainian soldier twice.

Bloated. Screw you.
You don’t want people to eat.

You Nazi fukks want cruelty and starvation. Tell BILLIONAIRES like Bezos and Waltons to pay a living wage and guess what? You’ll have fewer people on SNAP.

You ghouls.

The Fugitive Slave Act legalized bounty hunting.

It’s crystal clear what Make America Great Again really means.

Sanho Tree @sanho.bsky.social · 8h

“Under the plan, bounty hunters may receive “monetary bonuses” depending on how successfully they track down their targets — and how many immigrants they then report to ICE.”

Or ICE could just fund the Klan directly.

ICE Plans Cash Rewards for Private Bounty Hunters to Locate and Track Immigrants

Companies hired by ICE would be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate — and paid cash bonuses for performance.
