Stephen Miller tweeted that calling ICE authoritarian "incites violence and terrorism." This wasn't just the usual fascist bluster. It was a signal. I asked Bannon if Miller will seek to prosecute groups that use this language about ICE Read our exchange below. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2009...

‘South Park’ politics: “Someone who's interested in politics but not as a vehicle to express clear values or a coherent viewpoint. He just wants to mock anyone who takes it seriously.”

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Good time to be slashing science funding to near-zero levels, amirite?

Chotiner interviews Janeway

huh. wonder why they did that. who can say, really.

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

Shana tova to all, and I wish you the happiest of happy New Years.

I’m starting to that that our president might be a full-fledged, unadulterated dipshit. NON COMPOS MENTIS. Not up to the job.

Yes. Yes and also, yes, yep, and yepper.

Hell of a scoop. Chris Clemens alleges the board went into closed session illegally, including before they postponed tenure votes, and forced him to resign after he informed faculty about the delays. www.theassemblync.com/education/hi...

This is journalism we need.

"where I would start, especially if I were a Democratic elected official, is by taunting every journalist I came into contact with from ABC, CBS and every other news and media organization that is now owned by the White House — which is a rapidly growing list." talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/a-few...

Another great demonstration that, over and over again, Spy’s “small-fingered vulgarian” proves to be among the great one-line descriptors in American history.

we wrote about this WH tactic recently. they’re asking journalists for expert source names and then using them to look up political donations in FEC records to try to discredit those sources as biased. www.npr.org/2025/08/18/n...

The Kafka estate is going to sue this entire timeline for copyright infringement.

RFK Jr. is objectively pro-disease, pro-illness and pro-child death.

Not allowed.

I imagine I’ll be saying this until I die but… …having the congressional leadership act as “party leadership” when Dems are out of the White House is not just the DUMBEST way of organizing an opposition, it’s responsible for half the things everyone says they hate about Dems.

No one has been more vindicated than normie resistance Dems, women’s marchers and never-Trump Republicans. They were right all along about the threat. The anti-anti-Trump Republicans and reactionary centrists, and the far left “it’s always been this bad” folks have been proved wrong over and over.

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

No, brah. Just a billion times, no. Perform cruelty theater on immigrants to, what, “help the medicine go down” for itchy whites folks? God forgive us.

After a day spent upgrading some tech in the Hometown Holler studio, I was more than compensated by sticking around for the taping of an upcoming @thehometownholler.bsky.social podcast with the astonishing** @tressiemcphd.bsky.social **If I say more, I’ll gush, and don’t nobody need to see that

trump’s numbers are tanking and there is a palpable desire in the electorate for a real alternative and yet the only money in democratic politics is for doing starmerism

This is precisely the problem, the refusal by centrist elites to differentiate between challenging ideas and debunked lies. It's not "challenging" to hear that black people are stupid or gay people are degenerates, it's just wrong.

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

So glad to discover that Jackson is “all about free speech”. Very comforting.

They never complete the sentence, ie "...educators and students must face ideas we find offensive, such as the claim that Black women lack the brain processing power to fly planes or serve on the Supreme Court or that gay people should be stoned to death." Pretty telling that they don't!

A story no one is talking about - last week's high school shooting in Denver. 16-year-old white boy radicalized online and promoting white supremacist and anti-Semitic conspiracies, inspired by - and a fan of - terrorists who promoted replacement theory. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Online trads going to church for the first time and finding out it's not an IRL version of their personal Based internet club always cracks me up

[me, a journalist who spends all day every day on a social media app where the discovery algorithm is personally controlled by its owner, captain birdseye] you know, a lot of people are talking about fish fingers, we should probably cover that

The politics of MattYgasm. 'Kitchen table' brain-rot is the culmination of consultant-class kink — an Eyes Wide Shut-style popularist orgy of poll-worshippers and reactionary centrists in weird outfits.

“I mean, surely they’ll love us for it THIS TIME, right? Right?”, said Schumer, probably.

Have to admit that I have doubts about the “mind” bruv says he’s gonna “keep this in”.

Can we please not fight about this. It’s not a thing worth fighting about for chrissakes.

Oh a forced sale to regime allies? Shocker.

Listen to me talk about my new report on how NC school districts are struggling with declining enrollment (and how many of those struggles are worsened by intentional state policies): #ncpol

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

Vance follows many of the open neo-Nazis that were pushing this massive, coordinated harassment campaign. It's where he gets a bunch of his rhetoric. It's been over a year and news media refuses to cover that Vance is deeply networked with honest-to-god, swastika-loving Nazis.

Warning: I’m gonna swear. FUCKIN’ HELL, CHUCK.

My optimism here is limited, but I really hope centrist institutions like universities and major news organizations understand that the plan is for the govt to dismantle them. They do not care if you fire your columnists or discipline staff for accurately quoting Kirk. They just want us all gone.

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin? TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

So the Washington Post fired Karen Attiah—a Black woman—for doing nothing more than quoting Charlie Kirk's words about Black women? Is that what I'm understanding here?
