Trump promised these Navy escorts "if needed." He promised this ... yesterday. youtu.be/ed2xOwmHZl0?...
I swear to god I will turn this car around RIGHT NOW
Me and @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social last year revealed the federally-funded group planning America's 250th anniversary events had hired the firm that organized Trump's 1/6 rally. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Wired now notes that firm has won $10s of millions in anniversary-related contracts.
Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called βNumidentβ and the βMaster Death File,β include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parentsβ names."
Flashback to the 2024 Republican National Convention ππ½
A DHS spokesperson told WIRED on Monday, βAny allegation that DHS adopted a policy making Privacy Threshold Analyses exempt from the Freedom of Information Act is FALSE.β Internal emails show otherwise. On December 3, the DHS Privacy Office announced a "major change" that required all future PTAs to carry a disclaimer marking them exempt from public release. The disclaimer reads in full: βThis is a draft document that is pre-decisional, deliberative, and is designated For Official Use Only. It is subject to the deliberative process privilege and attorney client privilege. It is not to be released, shared, or distributed outside of authorized channels without prior consultation and approval from the Department of Homeland Security Privacy Office. Unauthorized disclosure may result in administrative, civil, or criminal penalties.β
DHS's press office straight up lied about this. But they didn't know I had receipts.
Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.
In Minneapolis and elsewhere, the Trumpists have been encountering communities exhibiting the kind of cohesion and solidarity across racial, cultural, and religious lines they claim is impossible.
Nothing could be more terrifying to the blood-and-soil nationalists.
Wrote more about this here:
Read an article of a white woman wrongly arrested based on this. She recorded her conversation with the sheriff who freely, joyfully admitted that he didnβt care that she had proof she wasnβt the one Flock recorded. His glee triggered my PTSD. Cops are having a blast with this.
Terrifying. Like, we βknewβ this was how these fuckers thought/didnβt think about things, but to really see it, understanding that THIS was who was given power over funding so many cultural institutions, public benefits, etcβ¦ they just do not give a shit about lifeβ¦

I spent a few hours with Donna in Union City. She's a one-woman tornado response team.
At first, tornado victims need hugs. Then they need money.
She knows that because she survived a tornado in 2024 a few miles away. Families are still rebuilding.

I don't think most people grasp the insane amount of resources that the US allocates to weapons and war machines. The list of better things we could do with the military budget is nearly endless.
There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase βaccused him without evidenceβ no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory βhasnβt been formally charged.β www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...
"A Christian hotel owner opened her doors to Shia Muslims fleeing Israelβs bombardment of the southern outskirts of Beirut. Then a missile struck the hotel, killing her 34-year-old receptionist."
You hardly ever see the bias as this obvious in one headline but itβs really astounding the levels of passive-voice dehumanization thatβs reserved for those killed by Israel and the United States
Breaking News: New video adds to evidence that a U.S. missile likely hit an Iranian school where 175 people, many of them children, were reportedly killed.
The correction fails to air the real footage or inform viewers what was different about it. It claims the error was inadvertent and pretends to honor the fallen service members, but at the end of the day Fox still doesnβt show or describe how they came home to spare Trump from its viewersβ scrutiny.
TV person here: it is nearly impossible to run a a 4-month-old video BY MISTAKE particularly when the original video is brand new and a part of your on-going coverage.
Crypto remains the safest way to store your wealth unless of course an ex cop decides to break into your house and handcuff you and beat the information out of you to transfer himself $200k of your funny money and also steal your jewelry & cash
The People Mover track curves around the corner next to the Compuware building in Detroit. It is night.
A white Chevrolet Corvette is on display at the new GM headquarters in Detroit.
A photo from inside Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. The rafters are of the 90s Pistons colors of teal, burgundy and gold. The team has an early lead on the Brooklyn Nets, but Detroit would hilariously blow a 23 point lead to the hapless Nets.
It was busy in downtown Detroit today. Felt like a proper city.
When you yadda yadda yadda the Strait of Hormuz.
Getting F-15s shot down.
Blowing up schools.
You can say the Trump Admin is incompetent and has no plan without fellating the military. Well most people who arenβt writers for the Atlantic can anyway.
βAlmostβ if not for that pesky Strait of Hormuz.
So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right
I am so very very jealous.
I liked how itβs a pretty harsh comment and yet Raw Story was like βdear reader that comment was merely the tip of the iceberg.β
2 photographs of a biography of Marty Feldman. One has googly eyes added but it looks virtually the same.
Every time we see this Marty Feldman book it reminds us of that time we stuck googly eyes on it but all that happened was it looked even more like Marty Feldman. π
Heβs the Treasury Secretary.
The red "wasted" visual in the White House video game graphic is just beyond vile. This involves real human beings. They know civilians are being killed. They're reveling in it.
