Every night Sam does this goofy thing, I started calling it β€œsmooches”. 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 πŸ˜…πŸ™ƒ

The problem is, it’s not just a cult. Hundreds of MAGA candidates ranβ€”and wonβ€”in multiple elections since 2016. They hold public offices in every state. They’re in every law enforcement agency in the country. I get why folks still want to call MAGA a cult but it’s *much worse* it’s the zeitgeist.

Netanyahu on Iran war: "We read in this week's Torah portion, 'Remember what Amalek did to you.''
"We rememberβ€”and 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.

Speaking in Hebrew to an Israeli audience, Netanyahu invokes Amalek again like he did before engaging in genocide in Gazaβ€”but this time with regard to Iran.

Invoking Amalek is a call to annihilate the enemy.

We don’t 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.

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

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."

California official calling on Trump admin. to return deaf boy, his family deported to Colombia California State Superintendent Tony Thurmond is demanding the immediate return of a deaf student and his family who were deported to Colombia this week.

There isn't a hell hot enough for every low-level ICE thug or functionary who makes these things happen.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

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.

Bari Weiss Is Doing Exactly What She Was Installed at CBS to Do Cutting one β€œ60 Minutes” segment is a small price to be paid to keep Trump happy and shape the future of American media.

Excellent by @theintercept.com @ahjohnson.bsky.social

This is the CBS / 60minutes context: Ellison's emissary Bari Weiss is doing exactly what she was chosen to do.

"about consolidating top-down oligarchical control over legacy media brands that will endure"

Why Target is the Center of an ICE-Out Campaign in Minnesota - Workday Magazine ICE Out of MN, a coalition of unions, worker centers, and community organizations, is putting pressure on Minnesota’s corporations that stayed silent as thousands of federal immigration agents wreaked...

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.

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Is RFK Jr plugged into NAR networks? I’m sure he could’ve picked up that language by proximity given his own circle of freaks are only 1 degree of separation from NAR but I didn’t realize he was… speaking their language. Like literally.

Oh really? We’re doing β€œspiritual warfare” ?? 🚨

IDK if that language is exclusive to the New Apostolic Reformation but it’s definitely a common theme with those folks and the NAR nutters have been intertwined with Trump & friends for many years.

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 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.
