The Thing (1982) recreated with Pingu. A crossover that never stops being funny.

‘PB&J Otter’ premiered 28 years ago today on Playhouse Disney.

To be clear about what this depicts: An immigration officer threw a woman onto the ground. Alex Pretti, a registered nurse on scene as a legal observer, is filming and goes to help the woman up. He is then pepper sprayed and thrown to the ground for no discernible reason. Many officer surround and assault him; one removes his firearm, which police say appears to have been legally registered. They then execute him with a hail of bullets.

They are, objectively speaking, both cowards and criminals, while Pretti is what we teach people an American ought to be.

You know things are bad when the most boring person doing the most boring job for decades has to come out and say, “Stop trying to arrest us for doing math”

Overheard: "It took four blocks and five years to go from kneeling on a black man's neck to shooting a white woman in the face"

They’ve so flooded the zone on corruption that “the alcohol lobby cut a check to get them to say alcohol is good for you” isn’t going to get much notice

Renee was one of my students years ago. I held her baby. She was kind and talented, a working class mom who put herself through school despite circumstances that would’ve crumpled the pathetic rich boy politicians who sadistically abetted her murder

God damn them all

The government smearing an American as a “domestic terrorist” after agents of the state murdered her, is stomach churning in a way I can’t really describe.

If you woke up on this Black Friday looking to spend money, might I suggest putting it toward independent journalism?

Yesterday offered a reminder of what this work can actually do—especially with a mainstream media that refuses to hold power to account. The settler I documented clubbing a grandmother in a video that drew international outrage was indicted on terrorism charges. A few hours later, 16-year-old Mohammed Ibrahim—whose case I’ve covered almost daily since July while most outlets ignored it—was freed from Israeli military detention.

All of my reporting is self-funded. If you want to help me keep doing it, consider gifting a paid subscription to my newsletter—for yourself or for someone who needs it. Link for 20% off below.

The video has been circulating for hours and there are still zero stories about it in Western media.

Part of why she drives people on the right insane is because she forces them to recognize their own cowardice and lack of self-respect.

We found a note from the shooter and it said he was going to do it for his beautiful trans girlfriend named Karl Marx but then a dog ate it
