My large orange rescue cat Sam sitting with his back to me resting against a white fluffy blanket
My large orange rescue cat Sam in the same position but with his head leaned all the way backwards and upside down looking at me and waiting for his nightly βsmoochesβ
Every night Sam does this goofy thing, I started calling it βsmoochesβ. He usually sleeps facing away from me so multiple times before I fall asleep he leans his head all the way backwards & upside down so I can smooch him on the top of his head. He does this 3-5 times every night π π

The problem is, itβs not just a cult. Hundreds of MAGA candidates ranβand wonβin multiple elections since 2016. They hold public offices in every state. Theyβre in every law enforcement agency in the country. I get why folks still want to call MAGA a cult but itβs *much worse* itβs the zeitgeist.

Netanyahu on Iran war: "We read in this week's Torah portion, 'Remember what Amalek did to you.'' "We rememberβand we act." 1 Samuel 15:3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. GPO 0:44
Speaking in Hebrew to an Israeli audience, Netanyahu invokes Amalek again like he did before engaging in genocide in Gazaβbut this time with regard to Iran.
Invoking Amalek is a call to annihilate the enemy.

We donβt talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.
DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."
But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
There isn't a hell hot enough for every low-level ICE thug or functionary who makes these things happen.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and weβre doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

SCOOP β Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

Separate your church and your fundamentalist extremist religious doctrine from my country.

Preliminary Pentagon cost estimate of the war in Iran is $1 BILLION a day. So far.
Reuters Exclusive
"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the βMiddle East."

Target has allowed ICE to abduct its workers and use its property for staging. Now Minnesota organizers are building a pressure campaign against the company. "There is no neutral here," says labor organizer Veronica Mendez Moore. Vital reporting by Isabela Escalona.
Disturbingly long thread
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. Sheβs married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
Theyβve already sent her to Louisiana.
Is RFK Jr plugged into NAR networks? Iβm sure he couldβve picked up that language by proximity given his own circle of freaks are only 1 degree of separation from NAR but I didnβt realize he wasβ¦ speaking their language. Like literally.
Oh really? Weβre doing βspiritual warfareβ ?? π¨
IDK if that language is exclusive to the New Apostolic Reformation but itβs definitely a common theme with those folks and the NAR nutters have been intertwined with Trump & friends for many years.
More than 200 crew members evacuated, a day after a US submarine sank an Iranian frigate, leaving 87 sailors dead.
Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.
Iβll have more to say tomorrow. Iβm safe.
They also didnβt pay cover π
We also need to know whether AI was used to select the target. WaPo is reporting Anthropic and Palantir tech were used to identify 1000 targets in Iran 24 hours. Who vetted those targets? Who pays for errors? It's possible they weren't involved in this strike but this we need to know.
Labour is what happens when the nominally "center-left" party stands for absolutely nothing and just shifts more and more to the right in a foolish attempt to woo voters to their right: a massively unpopular party that's going to get absolutely crushed... and right-wing policies.
The Onion
The Constitution is clear: Congress decides on war. When a president uses military force without authorization and Congress stays silent, they are abandoning their role as a co equal branch of government. War is the most serious power our government has. Shame on the U.S. Senate today.
Greenland said they donβt need it. They have universal healthcare.
I was starting to think I imagined reading the US Navy saying βno escortsβ but he confirmed it. I listened to most of this episode and it was actually really interesting. I didnβt know that much about container shipping insurance (very confusing) a bit long but interesting youtu.be/ruOkuy3Tqv0?...
