My “racial profiling is illegal” footnote has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my footnote.

Inshallah we will repurpose these to store Steven Miller & his goons before their crimes against humanity trials held live at 8/7 central on MS NOW

Smoking literally never stopped being cool it just (correctly) stopped being popular

I take back all my criticisms, this is an incredible article solely for this single sentence

get everyone gambling on their phone and then charge them for losing is actually pretty funny

These declines are MASSIVE. And the comparative silence in media coverage is absolutely DAMNING. “Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?” THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it. Falls to pre-war (!!) levels? Just CRICKETS.

This means the VA won't cover abortions EVEN in the case of rape, incest, or serious threat to the health of the patient. The DOJ memo was authored by Josh Craddock, one of the chief legal advocates for fetal personhood, i.e. imposing a nationwide abortion ban through the courts.

the least shocking thing in the epstein files that wont get enough attention. police regularly arrest and charge victims to coerce them into participating, often jailing them in conditions that are worse.

You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to the Supreme Court

Yelling at SCOTUS works Keep it up

Good find: Justice Kavanaugh writes on racial profiling (specifically what have come to be called "Kavanaugh Stops") in a random footnote he jammed into today's ruling. He wants the toothpaste back in the tube, the genie back in the bottle.

Justice Kavanaugh does not want to be known as Justice Kavanaugh Stop

Always a good reminder that, for all the US government's rhetoric around combating drug trafficking, it's often involved itself. prospect.org/2025/12/23/n...

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

It's actually worse. The Supreme Court has held 9-0 -- Clarence Thomas and other executive power fanatics included -- that detainees rendered to another country via the Alien Enemies Act are entitled to a pre-deportation hearing. There is no legal debate whatsoever.

Epstein sent this letter and then killed himself days later, I’m sure

Holdovers was very good, as expected. Refreshing to get a movie about New England depression around the holidays.

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.

Fair use.

a lot of you r clowning on this when u actually need to read it

great thread tldr: put commentary on your posts sharing the 60 Minutes piece in case they seek legal action so that you have a robust fair use defense

the vice president is a klansman

On left: Bari Weiss: 60 Minutes segment failed to show Government view that CECOT detainees are due judicial review On right: Judge Boasberg Dec 22: "The Government itself has not even contested that the detainees who now make up the CECOT class received inadequate process prior to their removal"

The fact that so many Democratic electeds and pundits said that we should ignore it is a stain on the party. Voters want, and the country needs, an opposition party willing to act like an opposition party. Shout-out to those who refused to ignore it (e.g,. Chris Van Hollen).

good news everybody. that guy everyone thinks trump had killed to prevent him from testifying about how big of a pedophile the president is? turns out we had video of him dying the whole time that proves it wasn’t us who did it. and it’s very real

He's a YIMBY abundance guy

Reminder that Weiss left the @nytimes.com because the paper declined to punish staffers who disagreed with her when she publicly attacked them. "Free speech for me, institutional fealty for thee" has always been her mantra, and that of the prestige media intellectual project writ large.

it’s simple. if I see a skeet about how much Bari Weiss fucked up pulling the CEDOT story, I re-skeet it

Bari Weiss really fucked up by stepping in it on the slowest news week of the year. We've got nothing to talk about and no work to do!

oh no I’m so owned by Billy Clinton being in the Epstein files. plz don’t release the rest of the files or else I’ll even be even more owned. oh no u better not do that. i beg u i can only be so owned

Two problems with this frantic "The story wasn't ready" statement are 1) When a story isn't ready, you know it days, sometimes weeks in advance, not hours and 2) Bari Weiss' idea of how "to do more" has already been made public, and it was to call Stephen Miller. In short, she's lying.

“Our viewers* come first” *in the White House

baller

A reminder: Bari Weiss signed the Harper's Letter.

bari is the standard bearer for the media types who think any journalism that leads the consumer toward a left-wing position must be tempered and balanced until it doesn’t.

Just a few months ago the entire administration was gleefully posting AI Ghiblislop bragging about how cruel and inhumane the camp would be, explicitly referencing racist memes of alligator babies, etc. And *now* they're suddenly worried about looking cruel and inhumane

Omg lmao

Conservatives are always 7-10 years behind trends example 3670

our dogs’ review of Stranger Things: 1/5, far too many doorbells

Imagine being a journalist and thinking that withholding evidence is "complying with the spirit if not the intent" of a law and not, say, a sign that criminals might be meddling with or destroying the evidence they're withholding.

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

Looks like they're right. Data Set 1 / Photo 468, the image from yesterday's Epstein files release that included photos of Trump in a drawer, was removed.
