Charlie Kirk didn’t go to college himself but he was more than happy go onto campuses and tell students what they were learning was wrong because anonymous billionaires paid him handsomely to do it. He wasn’t a great American, but he had an outsized role in the rise of MAGA.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

I hate that Brigitte Macron feels compelled to prove she’s a woman, but I get it: shut that lie down. The right thrives on ruining lives with made-up trash. Maybe Candace Owens should have to prove she’s human.

Thanks JCO. Yes, to discredit liberals/leftists but also for the same reason Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals & the mentally infirm were stigmatized by the Nazis & to appeal to the transphobic/hypocrite Christian Right. & for the same reason gays scare some White hetero males: their own sexual insecurity.

Before abolitionist John Brown led a raid on the US Armory & Arsenal at Harpers Ferry, VA, in October 1859, with the hope of starting a war that would emancipate enslaved Blacks, the abolitionist movement was "mostly moderate and non-violent... defined by what some call 'reasonable politics.'"

Lilith sends thoughts & purrs to all transgender persons who are being so alarmingly, unconscionably scapegoated by the rightwing GOP, more vilified (for political reasons) than actual criminals. we all know why--

once again the wonderful lively Brooklyn Book Festival this Sunday Sept. 21! my events are: "Ghosts of Yesteryear," three writers (including me) with mystery novels; & 3 PM panel introducing four debut novelists--"Who? New!" free admission, hoping to see many of you there~~~

the curse of "rationality" in a time when the appropriate response is Munch's "The Scream."

What was most remarkable here was the length of the piece. Almost pre-post-literate.

I saw Goody Proctor dancing with antifa

There were at most a handful of Trotskyites in the USSR by the mid-1930s, but Stalin was able to arrest millions of them.

there weren’t any witches either; still, many accused “witches” died terrible deaths.

Every week a new deflection from the Epstein files. What next?

Nobody better mess with NJ Antifa Terrorist Book Club.

this doesn't look like a normal distribution

This whole thing is so unimaginably gross. Makes me sick to my stomach. inews.co.uk/opinion/king...

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

yes, this may one day be a necessity; not just regarding vaccines but in other respects. "red" & "blue" cultures are growing irrevocably apart. it is hard to imagine a useful compromise on such subjects as school curriculum, school libraries, issues of gender, prayer in schools.

have always assumed that Antifa springs into existence when fascism is a threat, then disappears when it isn't; not organized, wholly volunteer, independent & anonymous. for T***p to label Antifa as a terrorist organization when its object is solely to confront fascism is--odd...

Oops! to be against fascism is now a crime in the US? that is truly an interesting historical development.

“I am feeling a wee bit melancholy my love hearing myself say such weird things as if someone is putting words in my mouth..."

Agreed. I wonder whether, as Canadians, there is something we are almost color blind towards. Forget the soulless corporations focusing only on profit - what about the American people? I'm astounded that there hasn't been a more organized revolt.

as one who avoids nearly all late-night comics & has never seen Jimmy Kimmel or his rivals still it seems sad that anyone is so abruptly fired for anything he says however awkward or inappropriate. much of humor is edgy, surreal, exaggerated, & can't be fact-checked.

After his father’s suicide, Hemingway wrote, “My mother is an all time all American bitch and she would make a pack mule shoot himself; let alone poor bloody father.” in time, Hemingway's mother mailed him a gun of his father's though not the one that Hemingway would eventually use on himself.

why not just say that violence from any source is abhorrent? violence by guns, by knives, by bombs, by fists, vehicular violence, violence for some political reason, violence for purely personal reasons, violence for violence's sake, why not just denounce violence? how hard is that?

It’s pretty crazy that this administration wants to charge minors as adults, but not adults for abusing minors.

just got my ambulance bill and it cost me...let's say...A LOT more to travel a few miles to the ER than it did to fly all the way to japan and back!!!

Wow I had that book as a child , yes freak kids out to stop being naughty , we used to call it tough love 🤣

As Failures….. We had him on the ropes and we let him go free because of incompetence. Merrick Garland is top of that list. Imagine if Jack Smith had been hired just days after Garland’s confirmation. It would’ve removed him of any political conflict. What a different America we’d be living in now.

I said years ago that Garland should have prosecuted Trump for insurrection in March 2021. You said no, it was complicated. IMO it was a tragic mistake of colossal proportion.

When their career defining moments were upon them Mueller and Garland failed. They were instrumental in putting our democracy in peril.

Honoring Charlie Kirk's memory by ruining the lives of anyone who accurately quotes Charlie Kirk

Stephen Miller, JD Vance, and Trump are all talking retribution for Charlie Kirk’s assassination. That’s the exact wrong conversation. There’s been too many of these. They have to stop!

I saw the off-broadway musical adaptation! It had puppets whose thumbs suffered TERRIBLE fates. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockhe...

from what i gathered his politics is similar to a lot of disenfranchised young ppl in this country, which is to say convoluted. absolutely drenched in online culture which creates very weird fusions.

What ? No crackdown on guns? Surprise.

Huh! Imagine that! The world's least surprising news development in this case: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/b...

Sometimes you never realize the pop cultural PTSD of events from youth, but watching that Stephen King video of him talking to the camera while walking down a Maine country road to promote THE LONG WALK, every cell in my body was screaming "STEPHEN! GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE ROAD!"

Most liberals are raging radicals who believe in legitimate warrants for arrests, non-extrajudicial executions, meekly paying our income taxes. Too extreme for the NYTIMES magazine.

Nobody messed with this transgender terrorist cell. Nooo.

Those were the days! Know what we did to Naughty children who sucked their thumbs?
