This Nazi passed a bill to imprison trans kids' parents two weeks ago.

There isn't really any doubt about Trump and Epstein. His supporters approve of it, no matter what they tell themselves

Bari Weiss is best understood as an anti-speech activist on behalf of power. This is through line from her start trying to get professors fired for critiquing Israel to running interference for Elon Musk to now working as regime censor for Trump at CBS www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Wow— “Government silence is a statement…If the standard for airing a story becomes ‘the government must agree to be interviewed,’ then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state.”

My god. From Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her ‘60 Minutes’ colleagues, posted by the NYT Michael Grynbaum:

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

The obsession over the Epstein files *as* a mechanism to “get” Trump is a mystery to me. How many “smoking guns” has there been since 2016? And how many times have MAGA followers shown that they *don’t* care? Grievance doesn’t care about hypocrisy.

"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

We were dead and now we're the hottest country in the world, the first country—quite frankly the only country—where a box of breakfast cereal costs $11. We're saying Merry Christmas, and also the r-slur, and we're getting back to saying "gay" so it means "stupid" again. Grown-ups are doing it now,

She’s resigning on J5. What comes after J5?

Hearing Mamdani casually talk about the benefits of socialism without apology, with confidence, is both simple and really keeping me sane in these awful times for America.
