"antisemitism is class politics for idiots" strikes again
It's not the silliest thing about this, but that someone would have to make this with AI is wild. There's like two text elements and some clipart, and AI couldn't even do it.
This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.

It seems like your argument is that what's coming *is* unprecedented. That's fair, and I hope you're right. I guess I'm concerned that even arguably-unprecedented events like Iran are quickly normalized by establishments for whom "this is normal" *must* be true, and worked backwards from.
With all due respect, haven't we seen this before? With W, Trump 1? The fact that we're not, today, seeing sturdy universal opposition to what's happening from the Democrats seems like a pretty good indicator that something they've never done before isn't forthcoming. What we need is unprecedented.
nigel farage tweet: The Bank of England is replacing Winston Churchill with a picture of a beaver on our bank notes. This is the definition of woke.
i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”
I would say maybe that recognizing the probability with current leadership might even be necessary, because it hammers home the need for change
Fair, I guess, but I do feel like there are two parallel discussions that can be had: what needs to happen, what we should be demanding happen (I am!); and how likely any of that is, and what to do when the likely thing happens. I don't think it's doomerism to recognize probability.
But like, how likely is that? It doesn't feel likely to me.
democrats may win a 2008 level victory in the next presidential election, i think they will, but they will lose either the next election or the election after that (and so on) and every successive GoP admin is going to get more insane until we have a real political reallignment
common take on here is that trump admin backlash will be so severe that the US is going to go back to normal after all this and honestly, i think we’re gonna get worse.
There was a half-second where it seemed like people were trying to hold her up as a figure of the resistance lol
The good news is now Minnesotans will know where to find her. Out in public. After working to help ICE, the group who kidnaps kids and shoots people dead in the street. The Gestapo. I think this is a perfect time for the people of Minnesota to ask her some questions and make sure she answers them
Pretty solid entrant here in the genre of Journalist Politely Letting Interview Subject Hang Herself With Her Own Words
I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.
once again: bring back shame
These worthless motherfuckers...
virtue signaling is good. practicing virtue is better, but both signaling AND practicing virtue is best.
Per the Bible, Jesus specifically identified himself with the poor, the people others turn away (and he suggested you likely go to hell if u do that), and those in prisons
our boy's on it
something something RINO Kiley
lol, of course the ADL is claiming that saying "Operation Epstein Fury" is antisemitic. What a joke of an organization.
The system works as the system is designed.
There's also the fact that Rowling has been fairly explicit that the money she earns through Harry Potter she's putting into anti-trans lobbying efforts.
There's a difference, IMHO, between an artist with a shitty private life, and an artist using their money to fund regressive social change.
just putting this in the 'bring back shame' files

remember when MattyY was talking about how dems shouldn't talk about immigration
It's Abortion Provider Appreciation Day.
Thank you to all of the providers who put their safety and lives on the line to ensure we can get the care we need. You've helped me to build the life and family I have now, and there's no way to articulate the depth of my gratitude.
the way you would have to actively avoid any information about Elon Musk to reach this conclusion 😮💨
My name is Marisa Kabas, and I'm an independent journalist who publishes The Handbasket. I'm reaching out about a matter that involves your team and that continues to trouble me. In June of last year, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and I filed a FOIA lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan Police Department to compel them to release body camera footage from the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace. What followed was months of back and forth with their lawyers, arguing why it was in the public interest to release the un-redacted footage in its entirety. Though tiny segments were handed over, that wasn't enough: We wanted all of it. On February 18, 2026, a DC judge ruled in our favor, and your reporter Mark Segraves sent a kind note of congratulations that day. Then on Monday, March 2nd, the footage was handed over to me and excitedly announced I'd received it and would be reviewing it in the coming days and sharing what I learned. When Segraves emailed me this past Thursday asking for my phone number, I didn't think much of it. But when he called me just before 2pm on Friday to let me know NBC4 Washington would be airing a segment at 5pm, I grew concerned. Segraves said he'd obtained some of the footage via a FOIA request that week after he heard the footage had been released to me. He said he'd credit the work of RCFP and me, but it was little comfort. I asked if he'd known the day before when he emailed me for my number, why didn't he tell me then? He didn't have a good answer for that. He acknowledged all the hard work I'd done getting this footage released. I asked him if he could hold the story until Monday, to which he replied that he's "not just a blogger" (implying that that's all I am, presumably) and that he'd have to check with his editor. I said fine. Nearly an hour later he called back to say his editor refused to hold the story, but that they were happy to interview me via Zoom to add to the package, and I said I would.
What followed was two hours of furiously writing and posting clips of the footage to Youtube so I could get something published before the 5pm broadcast, and in the midst of that, recording a quick Zoom interview with a person who was about to take credit for my work. At 4:59pm ET, The Handbasket published a piece titled "Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid." Then I tuned into NBC4 Washington via your website to catch the broadcast, and my instinct to rush to get something out first was proven right. "It's a story you're seeing first on News4," your newscast began. "For the first time we're getting an inside look at what happened the day the Trump administration took over the US Institute of Peace. News4 obtained more than four hours of police body camera video from that day." What followed was more than six minutes of clips and commentary from Segraves, but it's not until six minutes and 21 seconds into the piece that he mentions my name (mispronounced though he asked for the correct pronunciation on Zoom), "The Handbasket blog," and the RCFP's foundational role in bringing this footage to light. I was angry, but didn't feel there was much I could do. Then I saw the version NBC4 posted to Instagram and TikTok—the video itself made ZERO mention of the RCFP or my work, only briefly acknowledging it in the written caption on Instagram, and not even bothering to do that on TikTok. An average viewer with no background on the case is lead to believe that this footage was released because of your efforts. When I saw that, I decided I couldn't let this go. It's difficult to explain what it's like to spend nearly a year working on a story only to have another reporter and outlet surreptitiously take credit for it; months of work and personal risk only to have another reporter lying in wait to swoop in. What NBC4 did was immoral, unethical, and to be frank, just truly sucked.
I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:
