I honestly wonder who thought it was a good idea, on the anniversary of D-Day, to have a speech in which the Secretary's own ideology is set in metaphorical parallel to the Nazis opposing the beaches being stormed on D-Day.

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

If some redneck rent-a-cop moron guns a man down when he's restrained and your immediate first response is to try to imagine reasons he might have deserved it you're basically not a human being

It really does feel like epistemologically evil people policing regular Americans, most of whom are fundamentally good.

Alex Pretti likely directly saved more lives in 5 years as an ICU nurse than any law enforcement officer will in their entire career.

If you work for an organization or consultant that had anything to do with this you need to quit your job today.

Even if you take the conservative defense of each ICE killing, you’re left with “We haphazardly scaled up a poorly trained police force to storm into neighborhoods that voted against the president, where we antagonize the local population until someone resists arrest, and then we kill them,” which is morally horrendous on top of being an absurd way to do immigration policy.

A former 25 year career federal agent whose entire job was dealing with gun incidents involving federal agents details all the ways Ross messed up on CBS.

It didn’t air on the actual show tonight.

CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already

I do think it’s kind of hilarious that a bunch of centrist establishment types like Matty Yglesias heard this line and were like “this is so dumb, who the hell is he even talking about here?”

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

This actually isn't the worst I've seen. I read last year about an app used to assign shifts to nurses and other healthcare professionals, which draws their credit score data from Experian, and then uses that to calculate how much to offer per shift.

Essentially, the lower the credit score, the more desperate to make money the nurse is deemed, and the lower the pay they are offered. I mean it is one thing to do this gamified capitalism bullshit to delivery drivers and Ubers, but it is another thing entirely to turn payment for lifesaving healthcare professionals into the Hunger Games.

And once I understood that capitalism has no safety rails and no adults in the room, and the animating philosophy of the rich white men behind it has not changed one single bit since they used to farm free labour and call human beings "property", I abandoned the idea of negotiating with it or reforming it.

It really is just a stupid system invented by white men who would happily turn off the sun if doing so would boost their Q3 EBITDA 15%.

Media: why are you invading Venezuela? It must be due to a complex confluence of geopolitical turmoil

Trump: I'm doing it to steal their oil. I'm calling it Operation Oil Theft

Media: we'll never know what goes on in the head of this wily genius
