“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.”

If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

Ahh yes, always a good idea to absorb the thoughts of a concussed former QB who was 'good' because of the line in front of him and the featured players who he shared the ball with.

Troy is an insanely overrated player.

Just a bunch of kids at a TPUSA gathering.

Just a bunch of Chuckie Kirk fans.

Just a couple of mixed up young Republicans.

Not a chance, he's just being honest. Without people like Scooter, you don't eat. You don't pay rent, you don't have jobs.

What Scott is saying is that without people like him, the rest of us are NOTHING.

He should be haunted LONG after he's done in this administration. All of them should be embarrassed and shamed, dragged by decent society for their role in this.

One trial isn't enough. Pardons must be stripped from them. They should receive ZERO chance at redemption

He so scared, stammering fucking clown knows what's coming. He knows the people are aware and it's getting worse for him.

My 8 year old, my 12 and 16 year old all have more decency, integrity and goodness than Stammering Scooter

Looking forward to the congressional hearings in which Republicans demand that the president of an Ivy League school resign over this.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

Yup! 100%.

If you watch Fox, Chuckie here was engaging with the other side. If you listened to him you heard bigotry and homophobic rants. You heard religious zealotry and transphobic manure.

Dr. Jennifer Caputo-Seidler “began noticing many doctors asking how to treat polio.
"Today, the people who are training to be pediatricians, they're not taught how to recognize a case of acute polio when it comes in… the doctors practicing today have never managed it." @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

Florida's plan to end vaccine mandates elicits concerns about diagnosing polio

Health experts worry the policy change could lower vaccination rates and lead to a rise in preventable diseases — like polio, which most U.S. doctors have little experience spotting or treating.

I've said this for the past ten years now. If you are a parent and have children in Florida, leave. If you are thinking about taking a vacation in Florida, don't.

This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Chaos at 105th Street and Avenue N. A couple bricks and possibly an egg got thrown at a squad of federal agents who were standing in the intersection. Two cars — a white SUV and a red one — got trucked out after a chase and a crash, per neighbors. At least three detained from this confrontation.
