1. Last night, John Oliver destroyed Bari Weiss and specifically called out her inaccurate and targeted coverage of transgender people.

It's the latest of several shows Oliver has done in defense of trans people.

Weiss at CBS is a disaster for trans people.

Hey, Keg-breath, the "peace" you're talking about broke within 24 hours.

So, no, your boss doesn't get any credit.

Yeah, pretty sure that's not how this works.

Like, not even remotely.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

I feel like the problem with Dracula is the reverse: everyone *has* the context of "Dracula is a vampire" so instead of finding his behavior just strange and unsettling (as Harker does), instead the reader is going, "dude, he is a *vampire*, get out *now*!"

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

This is such a thorough take down of Bari Weiss and the vapid shill she is for oligarch billionaires. He especially shreds the Free Press over it's coverage of trans issues and the so called whistleblower Jamie Reed.

Abolish. Fire. Prosecute.

Punishing officials who lie in court and on documents is desperately needed to drag us out of the legitimacy of bullshit the Trump era has created.

They say it about every protest, and it's because they know on some level that their own mass movements are astroturfed.

They know that *their* side plays people to attend their events and assume that the same must be true for the opposition as well.

The projection is *hard.*

These people are just incapable of understanding that Trump just isn't popular.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

The Cybertruck is the *perfect* piece of evidence to show that Elon really isn't that smart, because *so many* design choices are entirely about "looking cool."

The steering wheel is a tiny hexagon. The turn signal is a button on the steering wheel. The display is a touch screen.

It's *insane.*

"Look how careless the Dwarves of Erebor were, just *letting* their riches flow out into Dale, and thence into the wider world! A truly wise ruler would lay upon their wealth, thus allowing its value to increase by its scarcity!"

... okay, that was *way* too easy.

It really demonstrates the major flaw with being super rich:

There's no longer anyone around you willing to tell you that you sound like a complete moron.

Essential point:

"Key to... Vought’s worldview is the idea that the constitutional order - and with it the “natural” order itself - has been destroyed: The revolution has already happened, “the Left” won. Therefore, conservatives categorically err when they try to preserve what is no more."

Sunday reading:

I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves.

This week’s piece:
We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly
Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy
