If this didn’t happen domestically, it would be a war crime.

It should be a crime to fire at civilians within the United States within certain distances.

We have never seen civil disobedience *or even outright riots* in which short-range is anything but punitive and cruel—it doesn’t aid control.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Just think, if you based your whole personality on taking offense at these statements, you’d have a career at Fox News.

I’m sure Tucker Carlson’s entire belief system came from him losing a recess race to a less white person and then just never getting over it.

This is how oligarchs wind up helping tyrants and get favors back for it.

A tweet from Matthew Gertz reads: “The Orbanization of the U.S. media is happening in plain sight, with the president using regulatory power to direct the sales of news outlets to his wealthy allies.” It quotes a post from Charles Gasparino reporting that a Trump administration official said the government favors Paramount Skydance in acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery, with regulatory obstacles planned for rival bidders.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Putin’s strategy was to wait us out, hoping we’d stop supporting Ukraine and eventually give in. That will never happen, said Danish PM Mette Frederiksen during the London summit.

Russia is fitting its UMPB-5R glide bombs with Chinese SW800Pro-Y turbojet engines, increasing their strike range to around 130 km. Photos confirm the engine's use in recent attacks on Poltava and Lozova. The upgrade allows Russian aircraft to launch from beyond the reach of Ukrainian air defenses.

Last month, playing tape of Charlie Kirk's words was enough to get people fired for the new category of anti-Kirkist hate speech.

This month, playing tape of Ronald Reagan's words is enough to spark a presidential tantrum and diplomatic breakdown.

"Tearing down the White House and replacing it with a facsimile of Mar-a-Lago isn’t any less appalling because Trump cajoled companies into paying for it. Indeed, it might be worse. Funding a pet project via the coercion of private donors creates a closed loop and complete lack of accountability."

The media’s apparent normalization of 3% annual inflation is wild. The framing is problematic considering the average household will spend almost $2500 more a year for the same goods and services at this rate of inflation. How can this being sold as normal? www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/e...

The cost of living got even more expensive for Americans last month, with prices rising at the fastest pace since the start of the year.
