They’re screaming “fuck ice” at wrestling matches and Chuck Schumer managed to use this leverage to negotiate against himself until the demand is “ here’s a bunch more money, can you guys please promise to not wear masks unless you really need to?”

it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

The right has a long history of developing positions that were consider off the wall and then transforming them into mainstream ones.

I’ve said it and I believe it is true There is a willful forgetting and suppression of the memory of the hundreds of protests that shook this nation for the past decade and a half. So while Canadians and European laypeople whine “Americans don’t do anything,” the Americans are actively suppressed

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

A significant portion of the Democratic Party does not want to defeat Republicans.

A Brooklyn-based collective, Artists in Resistance (A.I.R.) NYC, is not only committed to hosting COVID-safer art and music events from borough to borough, but also ensuring that anybody can do so for free.

UPDATE: Summers’ page is now offline.

NEW: An Irish tourist visiting the US was jailed by ICE for 3 months after overstaying 3 days due to medical issue. Thomas agreed to be deported, but instead went to federal prison where he recounted horrific conditions + no medical care. “Nobody's safe from the system if they get pulled into it"

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

Bret Stephens, making the case for the United States invading Venezuela: "Why hasn’t Greta Thunberg set sail to Caracas with symbolic deliveries of food?" ...No one has ever made Bret Stephens look worse than Bret Stephens. The competition is only ever for second place.

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:

Not to get all Sun Tzu on it, but when the enemy is weak and divided amongst itself, you do not relieve the enemy by allowing their partisans into your camp. You drive them closer together, force them into tighter company, and intensify their conflict.

A nice obituary for Alice, who was going to be recognized as one of The Post 50. I hate that we now have to live without this phenomenal woman. #GiftLink wapo.st/49WOdx1

the connections trump had to multiple "modeling agencies" that were actually fronts for human trafficking is pretty interesting! i mean, maybe not AS interesting as the question of whether tim walz visited china in may or june of 1989, but like, at least moderately newsworthy imho

The MacArthur "Genius" Award-winner was best known as the founder of the Disability Visibility Project, which highlights disabled people and disability culture through storytelling projects, social media and other channels. n.pr/47WGe0m

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Every time you capitulate to a bully, they'll come back at you twice as brutally. If you didn't learn this life lesson in third grade, GTFO of the US Senate.

Anywho, you use everything at your disposal in a war.

Jeffrey Epstein to Lawrence Summers (both of whom are very bad people): “i have met some very bad people , none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body. so yes- dangerous”

I am deliriously laughing at the image of Boebert facing dawning revelation that she's actually found the pedophile elite conspiracy ring and that she's standing right in the middle of it

Jed Rubenfeld and his wife Amy Chua also identified JD Vance as a kid from Ohio who could write a book in a way that conservatives would love him. He wrote the book— it was Vance selling his soul. With help from Chua (also a pipeline to Kavanaugh) and Rubenfeld

based on the epstein emails released today i am Tapping The Sign

feels relevant today

along with the heinous literal crimes i think a lot about how there's a kind of moral, national crime in subjecting all of us to this, to this consuming our politics, committed against us by a number of powerful and connected people up to and including the president

TV conspiracies: we’ve hacked their computers but they’ve perfectly cleaned up the evidence! Real conspiracies: To: conspirator From: famous person Attachment: evidence.png

Simon Jenkins, mouthpiece for what is also said to be Reform UK's university policy. 'For most courses, two years should be enough, as the former universities minister, Jo Johnson, has proposed. The number of institutions claiming fully-fledged university status should be slashed.' Unsurprised sigh.

More than 400 people suspected to have died from extreme heat so far this summer in Phoenix, Arizona, and surrounding county - Temperatures have at least 110F (43C) nearly every day in August #climatecrisis Story by @ninalakhani.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

troops are now patrolling throughout union station, a key travel route for anyone coming in and out of Washington DC by train or bus the footage below was taken today by local media but i had to bolt through a giant throng of troops outside to get to my amtrak this morning too they’re all over

We do actually need to pay attention to the distraction when death and punishment is the way they’re distracting.

I don't mean to interrupt all the Newsom glazing I see on the TL today, but you really need to remember that this is the guy who launched his Podcast with Charlie Kirk, Newt Gingrich, Dr Phil, and Steve Bannon as some of his first guests...

Breaking: the court ruling in Wikipedia's legal challenge to the Online Safety Act categorisation regime has just been handed down. The court dismissed Wikipedia's challenge. This is bad. This is very bad. wikimediafoundation.org/news/2025/08...

Took my family to DC and there was a gang of little girls doing double dutch so you can’t convince me that crime isn’t up

This is not a joke. Consider this. Its 150 gigs for images and all. That's literally less than one AAA game.

Cuomo: “this pinko lives in rent controlled housing, he needs to move out so someone in a shelter who can’t afford $2500 a month can have it! [dictated from my house in the hamptons, but not read] Mamdani: “remember when you didn’t let killing all those old people interfere with your sex pesting?”

I think this will be overstatement until it’s not. I think we’ll see more situations like the ICE detentions of Senator Padilla and Newark Mayor Baraka; I think the plan is to look for a scenario they can turn into a full-scale prosecution as a step toward fuller intimidation of Congress.

For years, residential school denialists have demanded "proof," despite church and state records already confirming 4000+ residential school deaths. Disrespectfully, they say: "show me the bodies!" Well, Deninu Kųę́ First Nation have now exhumed remains: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Keeping track of people withdrawing from the Polari Prize Longlist over the inclusion of proud self-described "TERF" John Boyne. Let me know as we get updates on authors pulling their books in protest.

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

It is important that people understand that only building engineering prevented this being a wholesale slaughter of dedicated public servants.

Things were always going to be bad but they are 100x worse because of how the democrats behaved in the transition period and his first 100 days.

To be frank, I think even a lot of very cynical observers of the democrats do not understand just how deep the depths of their complicity were. But unanimous consent is exactly what it sounds like. And they gave it hundreds of times in those 100 days. Now thousands.

chatgpt is just sam altman sitting in a server room eating a bunch of stimulant drugs and typing really fast on 6 keyboards

the problem with letting democrats backslide their support of trans rights whether it be trans in sports or using bathrooms is we’ve seen “compromise” in the UK labor party. they gave into “reasonable” TERF demands and it destroyed the labor party and all rights for trans people
