ICE keeps saying the people protesting it are being paid without any evidence, but we have receipts showing that the people *defending* ICE are absolutely being paid.

And yet we only hear lies about the former on cable news.

Stephen A. Smith is not bothered by pedos if they don't affect him personally.

This is bullshit.

Not only do ICE bounty hunters refuse to identify themselves, they won’t say where they’re taking the people they’re kidnapping.

Deliberately shuffling detainees from facility to facility so families can’t find them & they miss their chance at legal counsel.

This sexism, and positive regard for allthings "masculine, was sup- lemented by overt misogyny in Sullivan's New York Public Library lecture of June 7, 2001, "The Emasculation of Gay Politics." There he blamed "New Left. feminism for taking over gay organizations and in- stitutions, driving Say men into alienated exclusion. This kind of mas- culinist politics is of a piece with Sullivan's neoliberalism: He advocates a shrunken state, expanded commercial *freedoms" from democratic accountability, a civil society riven with exclusions, and a privatized, gendered, hierarchical family. He only asks that gays be allowed to ex- st within this neoliberal landscape, so long as they support sentimen- AN al masculinist nationalism and challenge nothing.'

Anyway here's Lisa Duggan on Andrew Sullivan warning about the "emasculation" of the gay movement 24 years ago: "He only asks that gays be allowed to exist within this neoliberal landscape, so long as they support sentimental masculinist nationalism and challenge nothing."

The day after New York City seems to have elected a socialist mayor, the so-called newspaper of record (the New York Times) pollutes its editorial page with the thoughts of two repulsive reactionaries, Andrew Sullivan and Peter Theil. Sorry. The right will never love you.

Brianna Wu becoming the media's favorite voice for trans people is much like Andrew Sullivan becoming their annointed speaker about gays decades ago.

Wow- Himes during a heated exchange w/Will Cain on Fox: "I'm not gonna listen to to you tell me that this about a partisan advantage...it is by the grace of God that we don't have dead pilots right now...it makes me want to throw up to hear you turn this into a partisan issue. You just need to stop"

β€œSo fucking what if they were playing with matches near an open container of combustible liquid. The house didn’t burn down, did it?”

That is basically what Cain is saying here.

In a related story, I recently won the Will Harris Writing Contest at the Will Harris Creative Center, which is in my house. What an honor! Can’t wait for the awards dinner tonight!

Cup of Coffee Extra: The Department of Defense erases Jackie Robinson The Department of Defense labeled a webpage about Jackie Robinson as "DEI" and deleted it

I've asked Major League Baseball's Vice President of Communications if Major League Baseball has any comment on the DoD erasing Jackie Robinson's page from the site and changing the URL to "DEI Sports." I'll update this story if and when the league weighs in. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

Look, folks, this is it. The entire ballgame. Either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution, or we have a dictator. This is fascism, & the impeachment vote should be happening today. Every single university president in the country should be out, in front of microphones, condemning this.

Good.

It’s always the right day and the right time to resign from the Washington Post.

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC.

β€œHi Chris, this is Jill from Newsmax-β€œ continues on to ask me to appear on a Super Bowl preview segment

My response - β€œHi Jill, thanks for reaching out, unfortunately I have a strict policy of not working with people who back autocrats and dictators, let alone those are at this very moment in the process of destroying the constitutional separation of power that makes companies like you own able to function independently, as opposed to be government propaganda, so I’m going to have to regretfully decline.”
