Hi.

[davey @jerseyh0mo]

Breathing in hefty lungfuls of smoke as I get explosive diarrhea from salad, the sky turns apocalyptic orange while oil companies drill in protected lands, screwworms are eating cattle alive and the president just paid $6 million for rape. And I’m also able to bet on all of it!

Seven dogs stolen from their owners have gone viral after escaping from an illegal transport truck and making their way home.

They traveled around 17 km together, led by a corgi across highways and fields, now safely back with their respective owners..🐶🐾🥺❤️

I want to live in a country where using Spanish in a 15-minute halftime performance doesn't cause more outrage than men r*ping children for decades.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔

[Hoosier Pants @hoosierpants]

I will be boycotting the Turning Point halftime show as @KidRock is an illegal immigrant from Canada. I, like all true patriots, will be watching the real halftime show performed by an American citizen in Bad Bunny.

A Message to Americans

The United States is, unfortunately, not coming back from this. ICE is killing, assaulting, arresting, and even deporting its own American-born citizens; including combat veterans. The country has walked away from Taiwan, is once again attempting to steal Greenland, blames Ukraine for defending itself against Russia, and is trying to crush Canada through tariffs into becoming the 51st state.

It's over - and I say that with deep sadness, not any sense of glee. When Trump eventually leaves, JD Vance - another genuine psychopath - will take over.

I'm inviting all engineers, scientists, artists, medical professionals, businesspeople, and tradespeople who feel unsafe to immediately apply for Canadian citizenship. You will be safe in Canada.

He realized in real-time that Trump fits the description of fascism perfectly. 😭

She makes some good points. 👇

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

The most insane thing about all this, is just that:

-There is no reason to defend this.

It’s not political. You could just say:

“Officer didn’t follow protocol. Doesn’t reflect our values. Will be held accountable”

There is NOTHING to gain from defending this UNLESS you *want* for ICE to have the freedom to kill US citizens for disagreeing with you!

[Matt McDermott @mattmfm]

Must watch: NYT just released a damning forensic analysis of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

It flatly refutes Trump administration claims — confirming the motorist was driving away, not toward the officer, and the officer was not hit by the vehicle.

New York City was literally founded by the Dutch, built by Irish and Italian laborers, powered by Jewish, Puerto Rican, and Dominican communities, and runs on immigrant hustle. The Statue of Liberty was donated by France to honor immigrants. It’s literally the city’s logo.

Actor Ethan Hawke on Donald Trump demanding to be paid $230M from US taxpayers: “Is anybody here old enough to remember when Jimmy Carter gave up his family farm to make sure he didn’t have conflict of interest? It’s called integrity and it’s starting to show the lack of it”

You're zip-tying kids and shooting priests in the head, you traitorous ghouls.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

This country eats tacos, drinks tequila, and dances to reggaeton, but god forbid we hear Spanish for 15 minutes at halftime?
