This is an essential point given the irony poisoned nature of our information ecosystem

CHOTINER: And you didn’t know this person - what did you call him again? CELEBRIMBOR GREATEST OF THE ELVEN SMITHS: Right, his name was Annatar but CHOTINER: And you taught him to create a ring harnessing all his malice and cruelty? CELEBRIMBOR: Well I mean I was deceived CHOTINER: So you’ve said

JUST IN: The Trump administration's bid to coerce states to comply with immigration enforcement in order to receive disaster aid is illegal and unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled today. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I have so many questions. Why is he wearing a bukharian jomah? Why is he wearing it to a *sephardic* synagogue? Why is he wearing a normal kippah with the jomah and not a bukharian one? Do Bukharian Jews even wear jomahs during the High Holy Days? So odd.

Screengrabs from when his mask was down, on Fox News of all places

If i'm being honest the Kissinger stuff isn't the worst part of the interview. Sure, it makes Sunstein seem like a moral vacuum but the stuff where he considers Rothbard, Reagan and Alito part of the liberal tradition despite their very obvious and acted-upon racism makes him seem Actually Stupid.

The only move left for a genocidal regime that doesn’t involve the immediate liquidation of its parliamentary power is the extortion of even more genocide

You guys do yourself a favor and look at what Eric Adams wore to Rosh Hashanah services at the Sephardic Lebanese Congregation

IN THE USA… Anderson Cooper: So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them? Answer: Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing… www.cbsnews.com/news/100000-...

this is completely false. the "unanimous" vote consisted of one person, Rick Scott, voting. The chamber was entirely empty except for him and Tommy Tuberville, & both of them had to be prompted as to how to execute the vote:

At Broadview ICE facility, federal agents hurl tear gas and pepper spray at protesters blocking vans www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/19/t...

My dad was at DC Jail for almost a year, then sent to southern VA, and then transferred to Seagoville, just outside of Dallas. Removing people away from where their families can visit and they can remain somewhat connected to where they live in no way prepares people to be healthy when they get out.

This is the part from Nathan that made me laugh (regarding Menashi's filing an opinion) "Because of this disruption and because he is wrong in several ways, a response is required"

Also, if Israel hypothetically occupied all of the Sinai demilitarised zone, they'd still be a good >100km from Cairo. If they occupied the whole proposed Syrian demilitarised zone, they'd have basically encircled Damascus.

Jay Jacobs is the most useless man in the NY Democratic party, and that is saying something.

I just spoke to NYC Comptroller Brad Lander as he left police custody following his arrest at immigration court. Here’s what he said:

Democrats are doing what a lot of people *on here* asked them to do by holding shadow hearings. Help amplify!

Anyone want to get a round of "Fuck Charlie Kirk" going?

It's sorta odd that the US is a police state that perfers to spend very little money on prosecuting people. just look at the combined budgets for any county's law enforcement to their prosecutor office and you'll see what i mean. that's why they need pleas.

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

yes! congressional control of the purse applies to the white house as well. you can defund stephen miller.

This man takes better photos on what are arguably the worst days of his life under fluorescent tube lighting than most of us will take literally ever It's borderline faerie glamour, has anyone tried touching him with a horseshoe to see if it burns

“Imagine your boyfriend texting you one day that he ruined not only your life but the lives of everyone like you” is a great line re: the shooter from trans people.

The trans partner of Tyler Robinson had no knowledge about it and was told to delete messages but didn't and instead turned them immediately over to the police and cooperated. Yet, the right is demonizing her and blame everything on trans people despite the trans person here doing the right thing.

Cities & cops & local businesses & the median voter & the news: If u love homeless people so much why don't u let them live on YOUR land Hamoudi Sabri: Ok, I will Cities & cops & local businesses & the median voter & the news: No! Tear down their tents & kick em out! Hamoudi Sabri: No, I will not

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

Charlie Kirk was a bad person and his death is cause for celebration, writes journalist Evan Urquhart. Read our very special free speech edition of Assigned Media. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

I hope people understand that the anomaly here aren’t the conditions—the conditions are very typical—the anomaly is that they put a number of documented workers from a high-income country in those conditions. This is how people are treated in custody routinely

Legacy media and cable news reduced Trump's aggression against Chicago to a question of whether troops would be sent immediately. When he said he was taking his fascist military spectacle elsewhere, those media players declared the situation over—while waves of federal agents attack our neighbors.

Reporters on the ground in Chicago are screaming to be heard over the false narrative that Pritzker defeated Trump there. PLEASE listen to them.

This narrative that ICE has "backed off" Chicago persists despite a flood of bystander video and reports showing an unprecedented and growing wave of masked terrorists violently kidnapping Illinoisians off the streets in Chicago. I can only assume our media ecosystem is to blame for this.

Hi ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere If you have any national platform at all Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

this documentary is so good and so important and it is embarrassing no one in America will distribute it

maaaaaan it’s gonna be yet another news cycle of watching people talk about the most traumatic thing that ever happened to me in a way that ignores the work I did to expose it, misunderstands it, and falsely attributes it as the inventor of online hate, isn’t it

Meant to share this link to help Gretchen and the lost revenue from losing her book.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

I hope I have given fidelity, and that everyone viscerally understands: You will have to come through me.

They do not give a single solitary fuck whether Tyler Robinson was actually involved with a trans woman. What they care about is spreading the story as far and wide as possible so that if reality forces them to retract it will be too late: the story will be everywhere

Possibly ignorant question here, but… why is saying “that shooting is awful, and also the victim said toxic things” a lot worse for our politics than telling people at a political rally to “choose violence”? Because at least according to levels of attention and criticism, the former is much worse.

As national attention turns to Memphis, please don't think Chicago is out of the crosshairs. The plan for the Guard was seemingly called off for now, but federal immigration enforcement operations have ramped up and the people involved in them have gotten *way* more aggressive. Right now:

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

OK, but you do know you're eulogizing Charlie Kirk, right? aftermath.site/charlie-kirk...

Every single person on FedBook who didn't know who this guy was [and there are many] is googling him and I keep seeing posts like: "What did I miss? Don't shoot people and this person was terrible." So I don't think this is going the way that pundits would like.

… finding out from @msnbc.com no less that … FBI is so gutted by “anti DEI” that they are fumbling this … Because one of the best people they had in the Utah area was a woman ( dear god I wish I was in editorial I would be calling every Utah reporter I had )

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

I do not think the last remaining absolute autocracy, economically dysfunctional in every particular, ruled by perhaps the most incompetent sovereign in history, and filled with subjugated peoples hoping for autonomy was long for the world in any event
