My newest short story “Midnight Craving” is only $2.99 USD. It is a Lovecraftian story made for 2023 that doesn’t take itself too seriously. If you like summoning demons at midnight or if you wanna laugh a little, this is for you. a.co/d/2wjr8fv

I don't lift weight to be healthy. I lift weight to subdue my enemies and grow a phat ass. That's it.

What do we do when the predicted human death toll from climate change crushes us? When the weight of four billion human bodies presses down, grinding our will to dust? Take a step back. Look at the world around us. We are still here.

Bradley Whitford: “We live in a country that has internment camps. As of July 2026, there are 65,756 human beings in detention camps. There are 6,200 children who have been detained since Trump took office. Trump’s promise was to go after the worst of the worst, yet only 3% of those detained have a violent felony conviction. These are not criminals in internment camps. These are human beings, many of whom were in the middle of going through what they thought was the legal process to become citizens”

the irony of YouTubers accusing Hasan Piker of grifting and not caring about the topics he covers—while also trying to challenge him to a dick measuring contest just to get dunks on how much more charitable they are none of these people actually care what Hasan does. if he fundraises, they'll shit on him for not donating his own money. if he donates, they'll shit on him for not visiting. if he visits, they'll shit on his coverage and accuse him of larping and cross their fingers that he stayed in some hotel he shouldn't have stayed in SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!

En Irlande des groupes néonazis et des suprémacistes blancs mènent des ratonnades dans les rues de Belfast. Ils instrumentalisent une attaque au couteau pour déverser leur haine raciste et s’attaquer à des hommes noirs. Des nervis galvanisés par Musk et Tommy Robinson qui s’organisent aussi ce soir en Ecosse et en Angleterre.

Groups of masked men burning families out of their homes is nothing less than disgusting cowardice. This has nothing to do with community. This is outright thuggery. The attack in North Belfast was heinous and wrong. But there are dangerous attempts to exploit that to target and attack innocent people who are simply trying to live, work and raise their families here. Racism, intimidation and violence are wrong wherever they occur. There can be no excuse and no justification for these attacks tonight. No one wants to see this on our streets and I again appeal for calm.

If you are being told to "protest" in Belfast but you weren't in Bristol after Alina Burns tried to behead someone, ask yourself "why?"

Imagine calling Renee Good and Alex Pretti “domestic terrorists” and calling immigrants “animals” then turning around and telling people they need to “tone down their rhetoric.”

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

They told us Democrats would turn America into a show-your-papers society. They told us Democrats would strip away the Second Amendment. They told us Democrats would jail us for what we say. They told us Democrats would drag us into more foreign wars. They told us Democrats would cover up a child sex trafficking ring. And then Republicans took power and decided to do all of it themselves.

LOCAL LEOs BACKED BY NATIONAL GUARD HAVE TO START ARRESTING THESE ICE AGENTS FOR BREAKING THE LAW & KILLING MINNESOTANS, IF PEOPLE LOSE CONFIDENCE IN THEIR LOCAL ADMINISTRATORS & LAW ENFORCEMENT, THE SOCIAL FABRIC HOLDING BY STRINGS WILL RIP & ANARCHY WILL ENSUE!!
Minneapolis is entirely outside of the 100 mile border zone. CBP has little jurisdiction to do anything there to begin with. They had zero legal jurisdiction to stop him in the first place, let alone pepper spray, beat, disarm, or murder him.

People are fed up. Nobody is buying your bullshit anymore.
At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, seen here.  The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming. Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene.  The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID—this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.    About 200 rioters arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement on the scene, crowd control measures were deployed for the safety of the public and law enforcement.  This situation is evolving, and more information is forthcoming.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
the man can be seen holding a phone and approaching a woman who was shoved, when an officer throws him to the ground. at no point is the man seen approaching officers while holding a gun. 3 angles of the altercation: x.com/i/status/20151… x.com/i/status/20151… x.com/i/status/20151… what has been confirmed about the man who was killed: x.com/i/status/20151…

this is an execution. we have a band of nazi thugs roaming our streets.
GRAPHIC: CBP officers shoot another person in Minneapolis at point-blank range. Footage obtained exclusively by BT shows federal officers on Nicollet Ave. on top of a man on the ground, before one CBP officer pulls his gun and repeatedly fires. Witnesses say that after the shooting CBP then walked down the block filming bystanders. Nothing else is known at this point about what preceded this, the identity of the man shot, or his current condition. FBI agents and an ambulance are at the scene.

i can’t begin to explain to you how amazing minnesotans are to brave this weather and demonstrate against the tyranny trump has brought to their neighborhoods.
The Minnesota General Strike. This is one place in Minneapolis, but it's happening statewide. 100s of thousands, maybe millions of people striking against fascism. This will be a building block. And it's -24 degrees out there.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away. I am calling for Wilmer’s immediate release from NWIPC—he has NO criminal convictions, he poses no threat to the community, and he urgently needs appropriate medical care since ICE is denying him the treatment he requires.

Lil Nas X being charged with four felonies is exactly why you don’t call the police when you see someone having a non violent mental crisis… bc the police won’t help, they’ll only make it worse.
