Donald Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell are on the same side, trying to keep Epstein documents secret.

Another instance showing that Donald Trump is the whiniest, saddest, most petulant little crybaby ever to hold high office. I'd tell him to cry harder but I'm not sure it's possible.

“Someone who says I am against abortion but I am in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life" - Pope Leo XIV time.com/7380294/pope...

holy crap--even if you take away the evangelical jesus-yearning, this is an objectively bad genre (but also some of the lyrics sound like they're written for the dude's lover, even tho he's talking to jesus and it's v unsettling)

He worked where the dead were—digging graves, clearing cemeteries—and when he wasn’t working, he was parked on a wooden bench or a windowsill along Market Street, water jug beside him, boots set firm as though they’d never move. When I was 7, he was ancient.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

loved this article! dunno if you already saw/shared it jameelajamil.substack.com/p/ah-shit-we...

"yeah, turns out the reason every model for like 2 decades was emaciated was that this let guys in the Epstein files transport teenagers around to each other with less scrutiny"

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending."

Imagine if, 20 years ago, we'd listened to @brooklynmarie.bsky.social about the Tanton Network. I'm not saying we'd have universal basic income, but the reckoning for billionaire pedophiles might've happened in the Obama Administration.

The greatest lie the legal profession ever told was that Scalia was a brilliant writer

How much more of all this are we supposed to take, genuinely?

This is the most porn-brained collection of incels the planet has ever seen. At this point X is a Class A infohazard, the entire website needs to be nuked from orbit.

Leah is one of the most, perhaps the most articulate and clear voice on the Court's shambling corruption

"Another bystander found a life ring and lowered it into the water." Some may remember that life rings required long years of advocacy. That citizen-installed life rings were *taken down* by the Park District. That Ald. Hadden and Rep. Cassidy had to work to pass a *state law* requiring them. 🛟🛟🛟

A legend has passed. And while I was but five weeks born and no Pirates fan when he jolted that walkoff to ruin a World Series for Mantle, Maris and the rest of that lot, I know I sensed -- as did every lifelong Yankee-hater -- a warm, rare moment of universal peace. Rest in power, Bill Mazeroski.

Every public university budget discussion is the Dril "candles" tweet but with "football"

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

The issue with the JBS, according to Klassen, William Luther Pierce, Tom Metzger, Revilo Oliver, Pedro del Valle and other fascists, was that the JBS was too soft on “the Jewish Question.”

Reading about a Florida Republican politician from the 1970s who supported the presidential aspirations of a tough talking outsider populist, while also expressing his interest in unorthodox diets and medical treatments. Who needs the germ theory of disease? Oh, and also, and more importantly…

Gov. Braun would rather have another pro football team than an actual educational instution.

Was gonna do my annual post about how the colonizers who landed on Plymouth Rock & their descendants were so mediocre & skill-less that they couldn’t even grow rice on US soil but were so practiced at kidnapping, subjugating & exploiting that they did a whole transatlantic slave trade to solve that

Something is awry in higher education. Indiana University agrees to pay the football coach more than $100 million, shortly after cutting hundreds of academic programs. www.espn.com/college-foot...

Something often absent from the conversation is questioning WHICH Ten Commandments will be displayed. Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant faiths arrange the commandments differently. Putting Protestant Ten Commandments up in classrooms others even those children who believe in God & his Commandments.

Reading this story—about how the Pentagon has been given so much extra money it's struggling to spend it all—while thinking about the formerly homeless tenants I've spoken with in recent weeks whose housing vouchers are being discontinued for "lack of funds."

i say let them do it. if i were a senate democrat i would relish the opportunity to let the country know that republicans don't think you should vote if you are a married woman www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/u...

A new wave of Epstein files shows that there is in fact an Epstein class. They not only believe in their own personal impunity, but seek to protect their fellow travelers as well. Its existence aligns with a vision of the U.S. that favors corporate domination over the public interest.

I know this will probably have asshats in my mentions again, but periodic reminder that everything happening now has a precedent. And that precedent is closer than slavery, internment, boarding schools, Jim Crow...it is the very modern school to prison pipeline. It is the last 40 years of policy.

Collins stood silently in the Oval Office clutching a red MAGA hat as Trump told lies about our elections and repeated his call for the federal government to take over vote counting in certain parts of the country. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

This kind of mad king behavior is exactly why the Constitution put Congress in charge of declaring war

Sounds familiar.

As I keep saying, the Epstein story is an offshore finance story. And offshore finance is about elite impunity: insistence on their wealth and their persons being protected by the law, but never being subject to the law. It's the "Every man a King" fantasy made real. people.com/jeffrey-epst...

JD Vance getting to the root of the most onerous form of discrimination we face. Let’s pause for a moment to recognize the triple oppression faced by competitive, humorous, beer-drinking men.

The idea that anything most people find repellant is “punk rock” is so lazy and irritating, and yet keeps reappearing like the vampiric undead shell of what punks have ever stood for.

J. Crew's classic chino ($98) avoids the calf-hugging, low-rise, Saran Wrap fit that more people realize looks unflattering nowadays. It's a bit young and preppy. Older guys who want something that feels a more trad, may want to check J. Press and O'Connell's (both $150).
