So Q-anon (a conspiracy theory about evil pedophile illuminati) was birthed in a forum that could well have been created at the behest of the pedophile illuminati fixer.
I have, for years, talked about how I spent the late aughts on 4chan, and I've been watching the worst people from there take over the world.

The chances of a secessionist crisis happening are still very small, but not as small as they were.
California has joined the World Health Organization’s GOARN on its own after the US’s departure. We are not a sovereign member state with full voting rights but are part of its network for disease detection and response.

Jefferies disappoints me regularly, but this is the sort of clear moral messaging required at every opportunity now. Just say the thing that we all see and know.
Jeffries: "We cannot trust the Department of Justice. They're an illegitimate organization right now under the leadership of Pam Bondi and the direction of Donald Trump."

"Lindsey Graham is shutting down the entire federal government to steal hundreds of thousands of your dollars for himself" is the kinda thing that really ought to get mainstream reporters asking more questions about How Is That Fucking Legal and Hey Guys Have You Seen This Fucking Bullshit
NO SENATE VOTE TONIGHT
Couldn’t get all senators to allow a speedy vote. Schumer tells reporters Lindsey Graham is blocking it. “That’s the holdup,” Schumer tells reporters. Graham wants to keep a provision letting him sue to pocket $500,000 over J6 phone records seized.

This is probably one of the single most disqualifying series of posts I've ever seen. This is "no different from posts you'd be making if ICE was paying you" bad.
The position here appears to be "actions to document and bring attention to ICE kidnappings are getting media coverage that is changing public opinion; and this is Bad because the media should be writing feel-good stories about activists' resilience and kinship instead."
