“It was the most harebrained operation I’d seen in my 38 years with the U.S. government,” one career diplomat said about the second Trump administration's wholesale slashing of foreign aid. “Who knows how much damage was done.” (Published Dec. 2025)

Republicans decided to go all-in in racism because they figured there were enough shitty white people who wouldn't find it disqualifying. So far they've been proven correct.

And make no mistake, when the Klan was ranting about unassimilable immigrants in the 1920s, they were very much talking about Italians whom they attacked as Catholic pawns of the pope, as a "criminal race" whose members were all tied to the mafia, and as a non-white threat to white women.

This is the *problem* they're trying to solve. Haitian people coming to the US and working. And there is no "problem" of increased use of city services. Because all of those employees pay tax, and the businesses should pay taxes. That pays for schools and fire departments and bike lanes and parks.

If you don't like Haitians, I don't like you. I meant that. Today is one of those days when many of the people that say that they love fighting for "immigrants rights🤡" are really quiet. They're going to deport 350,000 Haitian people for no reason other than racism.

Am I being over-sensitive here or does the term “side effects” have an inherent negative connotation and therefore this headline is sci-comm malpractice? The “side effects” are reduced risk of serious cardiac complications and reduced risk of all-cause cardiac events. Benefits. That’s the word.

I think fans of sports teams should normalize pressuring billionaire owners to divest from things that actively harm their communities. Keep yelling at billionaires, tbh. It’s possible some of them can be shamed and/or are smart enough to listen to customers for business reasons.

We had moderates. They gave us decades of disastrous foreign policy, eviscerated social safety nets, soaring inequality, privatization, managed decline, and a party so terrified of confrontation that it treated rising fascism as a messaging problem instead of an existential threat.

this has been the goal: it was the logic behind the RICO prosecution of Stop Cop City protestors. it's the logic behind the MN15 indictments filed just last week. it was the logic behind the J20 indictments. it has failed dramatically in court — before now.
