November 19th, y'all!
That's what I was going to say! I saw a different post that pointed out that a lot of people were confusing that post-ATTEMPT pic with the postmortem ones. It's so frustrating. This is not something to be reckless about.
Hey folks, Lauren "the mortician" is 1. MAGA 2. A heinous grifter and 3. 0% credible as a source.
Epstein is dead. This video is riddled with untruths and grifters online claiming he's alive are full of shit.These folks don't want justice, they just want to grift off of horrific crimes.
the stupid 'talent is a gatekeeping mechanism' thread that's going around, three posts reading: tired of having these arguments so i'm gonna lay out the STARK reality of AI for some of you privileged fucks: 1. "talent" is a gatekeeping mechanism that has created a culture of professionalism that is no less of an ivory tower than academia, a moralized proxy for access to time, training, money. 2. being poor means having to make hard choices like: [a] drawing something yourself in a way society would call "bad" (i.e. unprofessional) [b] sacrificing resources you don't have to pay a real artist what they're worth (or learn yourself) [c] not doing it at all, or [d] using AI. βjust donβt use AIβ is a luxury position. when people moralize choices made under scarcity, theyβre pretending the menu is the same for everyone. it fucking isnβt.
no great artists have ever struggled, a famous thing about artists that we all know. everyone prior to three years ago lived lives of luxury.

I could not be more proud of all the U.S. athletes at the Olympics using their platforms to speak out against the hatred and violence of the Trump regime. We have a Team USA giving us pride in a moment our government is causing us so much pain and embarrassment.
one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.
The Venezuelan parents and their 7-year-old daughter entered the U.S. legally.
Eleven American Samoans in Alaska face serious prison time for voting in the only country theyβve ever known. Theirs is a wild story of colonialism, cops, βvoter fraudβ panic, small-town beef, and family. I spent months on this + am so glad to now be able to share it: boltsmag.org/prosecuted-f...
The most enlightening and disappointing thing to come out of this ICE shooting is that the right legitimately does not give a fuck about human life if it harms their political narrative.
Watching people malign a 37 year old mother for being murdered by her country is insane.
i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all
"Disdain for Trump" is now retroactively added to your list of "offenses" in order to justify the state murdering you for breaking no laws.
One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun
Moskowitz on Noem: "Is she hiding her face like her ICE agents now? By the way - is this what the $800b went to? Every day we see her after some new tragedy, she's wearing a different outfit with a different hat. She looks ridiculous. She deserves to be removed from her job, & if not impeached."
This story has been updated throughout the day/eve (and will continue to be!). Follow for updates on the feds' shooting of of two Portlanders this afternoon -- and related protests and lawmakers response.
Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.
better way to think of this is β20,000 of the dumbest, most violent people in the country currently receive government subsidies for their stupidity and violence. should we continue doing that?β
According to witnesses, this is the masked ICE agent who shot the driver in Minneapolis. He shot from the side into the vehicle.
This is him walking away from the crashed vehicle.
masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.
"Renee was one of the kindest people Iβve ever known,β her mother said. βShe was extremely compassionate. Sheβs taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.β www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...
The βprosecute the former regime at every levelβ candidate has my vote in 2028.
Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we donβt. Do not shut up about this until thereβs a vote.
Yeah this is just what his communications team wants right now
NORAD Santa tracker is Woke
Pluribus rules because itβs forcing people who wanna see a bunch of sci fi lore dumps to instead watch amazing actors have incredibly interesting conversations about what it means to be a person
Expect a "revolt" among 60 Minutes staff over Bari Weiss pulling the CECOT segment at the last minute, one network insider told me.
Another CBS News reporter added that a Rubicon had been crossed with this decision, which 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi called "political" and not editorial.
Everyone is understandably sharing the Miller quote, but I found this response from photographer Christopher Anderson to be notable, too.
First Secretary of Defense you could defeat by painting a tunnel on the side of a boulder.
Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "Thatβs not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this
Last year, Joe and I brought together Democrats and conservative Republicans to write the strongest border bill in decades. The Border Patrol endorsed it. But Donald Trump believes a border deal would hurt his campaign. So he ordered his allies in Congress to kill the deal. Well, I refuse to play politics with our security. Here is my pledge to you: As President, I will bring back the bipartisan border security bill that he killed. And I will sign it into law. I know we can live up to our proud heritage as a nation of immigrants- And reform our broken immigration system. We can create an earned pathway to citizenship- And secure our border. America, we must also be steadfast in advancing our security and our values abroad.
Harris: So, in this campaign, I will proudly put my record against his any day of the week (applause) any day of the week, including, for example, on the issue of immigration. So, I was the attorney general of a border state. In that job, I walked underground tunnels between the United States and Mexico on that border with law enforcement officers. I went after transnational gangs, drug cartels, and human traffickers that came into our country illegally. I prosecuted them in case after case, and I won.

Donald Trump (applause) Donald Trump, on the other hand, has been talking a big game about securing our border, but he does not walk the walk (applause) or as my friend Quavo would say, he does not walk it like he talks it. (Applause.) Where's Quavo? (Laughs.) So, look, our administration worked on the most significant border security bill in decades. Some of the most conservative Republicans in Washington, D.C., supported the bill. Even the Border Patrol endorsed it. It was all set to pass. But at the last minute, Trump directed his allies in the Senate to vote it down.
Pundits: Why didn't Kamala Harris run to the center on immigration?
