Erika Kirk became 2000-era Lowtax so gradually

this is it. this is the way forward.

I like that the same day a guy was like “this place will never be Twitter” this thread gave us the most 2015 Twitter experience (complimentary) imaginable.

lmao

I wrote about how concentration camp regimes evolve and why it's not too late to stop this, even though we are deep in it now.

Oh this is some bullshit

May Minnesota's business leaders someday find the courage of our high school journalists: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

*ICE smashing my windshield and pulling me out of my car on my way to drop my kids off at preschool* this is just a distraction from the fact that avocados are $3

I love that this was reskeeted, without context, and I immediately knew it was about RFK Jr.

Literally everyone who even vaguely knew what a tariff was said this when they were introduced! You don’t need a team of economists to analyze the situation — no one who lives in reality was confused by this!

I've found religion

You only have to declare cash if you’re carrying more than $10k. The description refers to two individuals on two different international flights. It is mathematically impossible that both individuals violated the declaration rule.

Compare this to a SBC pastor being an ICE supervisor

I keep seeing this guy getting reposted cause he’s making some anti-trump face turn or something but this guy is the reason revenge porn laws exist, please don’t follow him www.cagoldberglaw.com/the-ftc-says...

An FBI agent conducted an initial review of the Renee Good killing and determined sufficient grounds existed to open a civil rights probe into the actions of the ICE officer who shot her. Justice Department says no inquiry is warranted. @perrystein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

And Sinners gave us Michael C. Jordan, a joke I stole from Letterboxd

During the first seven years of Dachau, around 1 prisoner died per day on average. During the first ten days of 2026, 4 prisoners died in just the first 10 days across ICE detention centers in the US. At some point the media has to start calling these concentration camps.

We have a system set up to prevent this, and we have a party that has set itself up to prevent the system from working.

I listened an episode on ME/CFS from RFK Jr’s podcast it was really alarming stuff. This is RFK Jr speaking:

Europe may begin selling U.S. assets in response to a new conflict with the US—a move that could trigger a dollar collapse, Bloomberg reports. Deutsche Bank analysts warn Washington’s key vulnerability is living off global financing—and Europe may decide it no longer wants to bankroll the U.S.

Genuinely not sure exactly how big news orgs should deal with a gov agency that blatantly lies about *everything*, including things on video and confirmed by witnesses and specific people, but it's probably a start to just not quote their statements anymore until SOME confirmation is available.

these are out of control thugs and every single thing they say is a lie that they are lying should be the default presumption of the press, the courts, and the general public

Huh. I wonder if there might be a grossly overfunded and wildly unpopular agency whose budget you could target to reallocate to some sort of subsidy program. Oh well

any incredulous fuckwit who weepily tries to pretend that “people didn’t vote for this!” needs printouts of this image shoved down their throat

An incredible detail left out of the New Yorker profile of Bari Weiss is Variety once reported she was desperate to get a job hosting The View to replace Meghan McCain, but she tested so badly with audiences she was never asked back to even guest host variety.com/2025/biz/new...

I feel like not nearly enough Dems are being candid about this to the extent that they even accept the reality

has there ever been a more impotent group of people at such an important time in our country’s history

Kinda funny that Trump thinks "asylum" means other countries send people from insane asylums, and a) this is real life, not a ham-handed Idiocracy-type satire, b) he has surely been corrected several times but is incapable of updating his priors, & c) most media politely agree not to mention it.

i think it is simply true that for all intents and purposes stephen miller is the president of the united states

Four attorneys told ABC News they have been denied access to their clients at the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, where they are being held, which they say would violate 5th & 6th Amendment rights to due process & the right to consult with counsel. abcnews.go.com/US/lawyers-a...

“.. foreign exporters absorbed only about 4% of the burden of last year’s U.S. tariff increases by lowering their prices, while American consumers and importers absorbed 96%.” 🤡 @wsj.com www.wsj.com/economy/trad...

For comparison, that lump sum is nearly equivalent to the pot of money that Congress passed to bail out the banks during the 2008 financial crisis.

Media selling LA as rich spoiled people to the gen pop is so funny. That's a tiny tiny percentage of this town. Most of LA is the people you see being disappeared. LA has the largest clothing manufacturing hub in the country and it ain't staffed by the likes of Brad Pitt and George Clooney.

yeah, there's no way to militarily defend our European bases - they exist entirely at the pleasure of the host government. someone in the Pentagon has got to be screaming at Hegseth that we'd have hundreds of thousands of troops and families rolled up overnight if we did anything to Denmark.

If Donald Trump tried to make war on Greenland in these absurd & lawless terms, it would be a treason against American law & treaty, & the rest of the government would be well within its rights & responsibilities to jail him on the spot for it

For those looking for a way to incur a cost for politicians associating with Elon Musk's CSAM machine, this might provide an opportunity (especially if you're in KY). Literally taking the proceeds of the Child Abuse machine to run for office. www.axios.com/2026/01/19/e...

Reminder that the sixth longest serving Speaker of the House was a serial child molester. abcnews.go.com/Politics/dis...

It's the Karen presidency. Everything going on is because one dumb old asshole didn't get his way and now it's everyone's problem

Not for the first time, it looks like Channel 4 just handed the keys to their socials to an evil genius:

very good piece which confirms that weiss is both exceptionally arrogant and totally out of her depth. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

I'm watching literal Nazis register to run as Democrats because they want to either (a) trick people not paying attention (b) take advantage of the good natured people believing you can change and that's why we're here now.

in the plus side, watching the president of the United States destroy the entire geopolitical order because he didn't get a shiny award has successfully cured all my hangups about subtle character motivation in writing

Can see this being useful over the next year or so

I have posted too much today, but cannot get this photo out of my head. This must stop.

“Since you didn’t give me a peace prize I declare war on you” is the ultimate “you called me racist too many times, now I am racist”
