This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.

we have built a culture of elite impunity

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

When Howard Dean was the Democratic frontrunner for President, he was disqualified, by the media, for yelling "Yeah!" once. At some point we just have to admit that mainstream media sources are biased.

my "current operations are lawful under US and international law" t-shirt has a lot of people asking questions that are answered by my t-shirt

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

I feel like we're going to learn that Trump is happy to share intel on American residents for the tidy sum of $2B.

"We have a 2000s housing bubble level of financial engineering on top of a 1920s level of private unregulated lending on top of something bigger than a 1990s internet (or 1870s railroad) level of technology and infrastructure build-out. It’s one bubble to rule them all."

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

"Things happen." Fucking disgraceful.

This is because our country has spent the last 100 years designing all of our infrastructure around cars. Some of the most expensive and desirable areas in any state are the dense, walkable areas. But people can't afford to live there.

Oh my god

math textbook covers for some reason:

I spent October traveling to schools throughout the South talking to students about American history. What I found were young people who understand we can tell a story that includes both the positive and the negative. As one 8th grader in Memphis said, “Doesn’t seem that hard, just say both things.”

every epstein email is some creep complaining about MeToo and then being like “oh before i forget, any advice on how to use my position of authority to force women into sleeping with me?”

Re: Epstein’s emails

In case you haven’t figured it out yet.

been awhile since I felt a literal chill down my spine but this honestly scared the shit out of me

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

They’re all just looting the treasury now

Maccius Plautus (250-184 BCE) bitching about the inventor of the sundial feels *extremely* relatable to me in this year 2025

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle. Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger. Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

William Golding from his 1962 essay “Fables” on the intended meaning of his “Lord Of The Flies”.

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal." JEFFREY EPSTEIN WRITING AN EMAIL AT THE SAME TIME: "helo its me jeff had fun cmmitting sex crimes wit u lst weeknd"

the newly released Epstein emails are getting coverage on Fox News 👀

the biggest lesson from the emails today is that powerful people are so unafraid of consequences for crimes as bad as “raping children” that they will just talk about it openly in emails the only path to a better society is one where that is no longer true

I ' ll never understand.... WHY boomers insist. On sending emails (like this) to e ach other...

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

I assumed this would be an old article from Durbin before I clicked on it. But the date is Nov. 10. Today. The day after he just voted to reopen the government in exchange for nothing.

Truly a beautiful thing to see

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine. We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

you think about grocery. it's quite a word. they used to - they would get an apple. some milk. maybe some of that beautiful argentina beef and they love trump a lot down in argentina. they were dying like dogs but now they're hot. grocery. it's an old fashioned idea. they don't talk about it enough

women, are they bitches?
