Just dawned on me that “our Savior” means Trump.

GOP: America First means no longer fighting other people’s wars for them Also GOP:

Words … and deeds.

Sorry, but if you’re stupid enough to think that the Republican Party’s antisemitism platform promotes an American society in which Jews can feel safe with genuine respect for their equality and rights, that’s on you, dumbass.

So two paths for Weiss: 1. Never run the story, confirming her intent to spike it., 2. Modifying the story and running it, likely with pro-Administration content, confirming her motivation for pulling it in the first place.

but not the United States

Quiz: in what other period in American history were human beings treated as commodities?

One answer to this question is the evaporation of public bipartisan advocacy for Uyghurs because Republicans decline to speak of publicly for fear of appearing to confront Trump. Thus the decrease in noise from Capitol Hill leads to this impression. www.economist.com/china/2025/1...

For years, TNR experts like @nateschenkkan.bsky.social have long warned that immigration policy is key to confronting transnational repression. This piece shows how host states are now contributing to the repression of Uyghur exiles and diaspora communities. #TNR www.economist.com/china/2025/1...

Nina Jankowicz: “They’re not doing this because they have any evidence of censorship — they lost a Supreme Court case that made those claims… They’re doing this because the group of researchers and advocates have stood up to liars like Donald Trump and the platforms that enable them.”

One party wants to wipe away student debt. The other party wants to garish workers’ wages to pay off lenders. It is unclear which would help borrowers more. — The New York Times

GOP: the Chinese Communist Party is evil because they impose social control over even the most intimate aspects of people’s lives. Also GOP: youtu.be/b8rxZ03J5Bs?...

Just a reminder that Rubio promised to deport immigrants and visa holders who criticized Charlie Kirk.

Dissolution and liquidation of Heritage would in no way compensate or provide justice for its role in the dissolution and liquidation of USAID and the multitude of other agencies through Project 2025. But it would provide a bit of solace.

"Uyghurs who fled are losing protections as China pressures other countries to hand them over, and as America and Europe have grown more hostile towards refugees."

DHS has dropped its plan to deport a Guan Heng after his plight raised public concerns that if deported he would be punished by Beijing for helping to expose human rights abuses.

Invoking Reagan's "welfare queens" trope to convey Trump's anti-immigrant message really does show the enduring if not requisite role of racism in GOP political thought.

It’s been years since I was a shipbuilding-knower, but I am quite confident in saying that, in the age of drone (air and undersea) warfare, naval strategists assess large surface platforms as a really stupid idea.

Republicans objected to naming a ship after Lewis because it departed from ship naming traditions. Will they object to Trump departing from such tradition to name a ship after himself. What could possibly be the difference? 🤔

These are on the same page (A3) of today’s Washington Post.

Me: ever tried Corn Nog? Daughter (unaware): sounds good!

Right. Which is why Trump’s party is going to prevent their political opponents from taking power even if they win the election.

What can we say about a Jewish Member of Congress who looks at the Nazis’ use of denaturalization to punish and dehumanize Jews and says: yes! let’s do that thing that Hitler did!

Hmm. If someone like me portrays Santa Claus in a non-traditional way I get accused of sacrilege in a War on Christmas. If DHS does it, it’s macho.

Was this sole-sourced without competition? the taxpayers want to know.

lmfao

The proof that they hate their fellow Americans comes from their own mouths.

Stephen Miller thinks that where you are from determines who you are. His ancestors and mine migrated from the same region, but we have vastly different politics, disproving essentialism, the worldview that underlies his bigotry. Views my own: unexemptional.substack.com/p/stephen-mi...

Can we get a like and share from Jonathan Greenblatt?

How many people have lost their jobs for saying what Minaj is excused for here?

GOP: We are giving voice to Christians silenced by the Woke Left! Christians: stop killing people, ICE. GOP: SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

A historian of China makes a point about Trump's assault on the Smithsonian. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Deep cut. 👏

Taiwan shudders. (Remember when Rubio used to portray himself as champion for Taiwan?)

As a man who on a whim could instantly incinerate millions of humans,

Respect me or I’ll kill you and everyone you love. #ArtOfTheDeal

Trump is walloping [insert sector name here]. The industry stays quiet. You could write 500 pieces like this.

U.S. lawmakers moved to revive privateering, a practice banished since the age of sail, which will allow government-backed ships to target enemies.

BREAKING: The Leopards Eating People's Faces Party has renamed itself the Elise Stefanik Party.

From the right-wing Manhattan Institute's focus group of Gen Z conservatives -- just jaw-dropping stuff. We have a very sick society. www.city-journal.org/article/manh...
