At first I thought this was satire, because this is such a sadly amusing expression of just how bankrupt Liberalism and Liberals are at this juncture. Let's lean into a new Cold War? The Cold War gave us all the nice things? No, no no no no. None of this is correct, this is twisted. it's Delusional.

they spent at least two of their four years exploring how to bring charges against 18 year olds camping out on college campuses to protest the United States' complicity in human rights abuses

Evidence "shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club," according to a new report from the House Judiciary Dem staff. The report also reveals for the first time Beatrice Keul's account of allegedly having been raped by Trump. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Polymarket got the Brazilian election completely wrong. The glorified gambling platform had Flavio Bolsonaro's odds at over 80% all the way up to the day voting took place. Lula ended up with 51.8% of the vote. futurism.com/future-socie...

Not appreciating the narrative suggesting the war isn't working bc of their incompetence. Let's be clear: it is also a demonstration of incompetence for liberals to think they could do better. Remember: Biden's main guys for the region McGurk and Hochstein praised the invasion, called it necessary.

Related: A joint venture between SK2 and Rudiarius LLC — two firms associated with ICE's infamous warehouse scheme — was recently awarded $655 million to build new detention infrastructure at Gitmo, among other things. The work also includes secure holding cells in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Something get into this guy's micro-biome?

Police and the El Paso, Texas, branch of the NAACP are condemning a group of people, possibly including youths, who were shown wearing Ku Klux Klan-style white robes and hoods in viral social media videos.

The media is devoted to the status quo. Too often thinking on Napoleon's reconquest of France. It goes from smug 'cannibal' and 'Corsican Ogre' at the start of the advance, to a sober 'Bonaparte' then, reluctantly, 'Napoleon'; then, as he closes on Paris: 'Emperor' and 'His Imperial Royal Majesty'.

I felt I really needed to write about Rowling's essay, not because it's new, but because it's so poisonous and ugly that it felt like sanitizing her not to acknowledge it on my trans news site.

UN says genocide is still going on in Gaza now, as the world is distracted and the term 'ceasefire' provides additional cover.

He's obsessed.

NEW: An army of volunteers and activists across the US have been training for months to face down ICE at the polls on election day. The message they have for the Trump administration? "We're ready" 1/ www.wired.com/story/massiv...

"If Cole’s claims are accurate, Kushner’s political and financial relationship with the U.A.E.’s president, Mohammed bin Zayed ...constitutes what must surely be the worst case of U.S. foreign policy being conducted outside the law and democratic oversight since the Iran-contra scandal..."

Yikes doesn't begin to cover it. And this news should be sobering indeed, in light of intelligence reporting that Israel flew into Iranian airspace in an effort to provoke an attack on the IOF--bait Iran did not take, thankfully.

This guy is mad the Mayor of NY plays basketball at 11pm at night sometimes.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre spoke by phone with Vladimir Putin, the Finnish president’s office said. meduza.io/en/news/2026...

I’m seeing people reacting by pointing out that he’s obviously wrong. I appreciate that, but it’s also a pointless exercise. The problem isn’t that he’s wrong. The problem is that this is normal in American politics — and it’s been normal for a while.

This has just been a standard pro-Israel argument since at least 1982 if not earlier. Especially as a way to contrast with Israel as this place of high art, culture, philosophy, and science; so to argue it is not Israel's fault for not wanting a negotiated 2SS.

Here's a direct link to House Dem's Judiciary Cmte report. The executive summary begins: "A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s." democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

A Palestinian won the Nobel Prize last year

Ali Fortescue to Ellie Chowns on the group Greens4Palestine: "This group obviously has a big influence over your partys direction... do you think they should be kicked out of the party?" Can you imagine a journalist asking, should Labour Friends of Israel be kicked out of Labour? Of course you cant

Much reflection for. Connor, who used to write about Obama's drone war, and became increasingly conservative reflecting over shrimp cocktails at his mother's San Francisco society parties.

Bc it doesn't effect where the money comes from.

It will be very interesting to see which democrats use the election as an excuse to move on from the genocide and halting arms shipments

A part of this not mentioned is that Texas used to let kids transition. I volunteered at a camp for trans kids in Houston when I was in college (pre transition I know I know how did I not know I was trans). Guess where part of that camp was? Texas Children’s. That’s how much we lost

sounds like it might be HOSPITAL TIME!

Mohammed had a work visa. They still sent him to fucking Guantanamo

Neera Tanden, who rep'd sexual predator Andrew Cuomo and worked under Bill "frequent flier" Clinton, was brought back to CAP by donors explicitly to police the left as a pro-Israel attack dog. She will concede to support Dems in front of cameras, but spends the rest of her time tweeting like this:

The problem with the 2000s "Idiocracy" narrative is that it punches down at the obedient rubes on the bottom, and not the gentleman Hog's club at the top that encouraged it, and shaped institutions to promote this sociopathic, cutthroat, climber culture that produced them. The true trickle-down.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

@abdulelsayed.bsky.social: it's easier in our current system for a billionaire to make a second billion than it is for the average worker to make their first $100,000. And I would rather live in an America where it's harder to make a second billion than it is to make your first $100,000.

Iran says the United States is "not serious" about negotiations as UKMTO reports a ship on fire off the coast of Iraq.

Since I regularly piss off YIMBYs, I want to make sure its clear that I completely agree with @maxdubler.com. I don't believe in so-called "inclusionary" zoning. Directly provision housing and have standardized, simple rules for private development. You have to keep focus on the big picture.

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.
