Awful.

Thinking of this 1989 Cato Institute Policy Analysis (#125) that calls for "strategic disengagement" from the Middle East and also goes on a rant about Israel's socialist economy.

He wasn’t lying

You ever think about how the Republicans stole the Alabama gubernatorial race in 2002 with the most blatant fraud possible (discovering ~6,000 more Republican votes for that race and no others in one county after Democratic election monitors had gone home) and nobody cared?

Stirring a melatonin into my late night coffee so it balances out.

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

There’s really nothing to suggest that every high-ranking Minnesota Democrat shouldn’t be [REDACTED].

The Wall Street Journal reports the US is seeking regime change in Cuba by the end of the year.

One of the things I worry about is that not enough Americans are aware of these atrocities to endorse destroying the lives of those responsible. It is essential that we make them aware.

ICE detained four children from Columbia Heights, Minnesota and sent them to detention centers in Texas. bringmethenews.com/minnesota-ne...

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

“The Nazis were socialist, it’s in the name” — Puerile contrarianism “Eisenhower was a socialist, he built highways” — Vulgar left-liberalism masquerading as Socialism “The Burma Campaign was leftist infighting” — Understands the struggle at the heart of geopolitics

Sorry, there’s a Cheeto in the White House and you expect me to police what women wear? Not gonna take the bait #resist

Oh I got one

The EU should probably brutalize an American tech company, and they should actually go after one of the ones that’s relatively less culpable as an example to scare the bandwagoners. Possession is 9/10 of the law, I’m sure Ireland can fuck up some company that uses them as a tax haven.

If the President dies in office can you just leave work in the middle of the day? Like it hasn’t happened since JFK, what’s the protocol here

There's an old saying from Ron Paul - I know it's in Lenin, probably in Ron Paul - that says there are decades where weeks...uh... and there are weeks where, uh...it's happening

Report: Air Force One turned around because Donald Trump “forgot [his] glasses” and “[he] can’t see without [his] glasses!” Rumors that he ran into a monster while fumbling around for them and said “jinkies!” are unconfirmed.

Secretary Marco Rubio claimed no one died as a result of cuts to USAID. That’s not what we found. On Thurs., Jan. 22 at 4 p.m. ET, we’ll be on Reddit taking your questions about the continued fallout of slashing aid for some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. 📌 Save the date:

when I tell you that number made feel ill, like literally I felt like throwing up its so upsetting and no one wants to talk about how Trump and Musk intentionally killed ALL these people because they were not white.

If one battle is so good, why don’t they have another one right after it?

I was reading The Price of Peace by Zachary Carter. Great book, but there's a bit that bothers me. Carter dismisses suggestions that Keynes's attacks on greed in Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren were antisemitic as a reach... but Keynes opines in it that it has a Jewish origin!

My taxes should absolutely go to the working poor, to children and to the disabled. They should not go to already rich rentiers who own appreciating assets

THIS IS SO SAD!!!! 😥😥😥 LIKE and REPOST to pass more PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS!!!!

I believe it was PJ who pointed out for left-wing politically active diaspora children, there is a code of omertà around stuff like this where you either deny people in your community are Republican-curious or blame it on Democrats not being leftist enough.

Before we begin, I would like to acknowledge that we are meeting here because of the unceded suffering of the Omelas child

NO

¡Hola! Me llamo Bill McKay. Estoy huyendo de La Siglo Estadounidense de Humillacíon. ¿Donde se vende Monstrusos Blancos?

i'm going to spend the rest of my life figuring out how a small band of elites decided that acting as the global currency and primary military hegemon was gay and feminine coded

“I’m speaking now to the bus driver that’s holding my Musicology Duck. You have the power to let them go, unharmed. They’re very gentle and kind — talk to them, you’ll see. Their name is Musicology Duck. You have a chance to show the whole world that you can be merciful, as well as strong.”

Don’t call them oomfs bro!

Big thank you to the person that just donated $2,000. We have only $2400 to go until we hit the milestone we're aiming for, and then we will wrap up our public fundraising. Help us eek out this last piece and end strong. Thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout gofund.me/379febde6

Put aside the question of who does and does not deserve bad things to happen to them in a badly-ruled country: the fact of the matter is that people *will* be held collectively responsible for the things the government does in their name.

Cannot be stated that the hog people of America not only voted for this, but are too stupid to realize what they’ve done and are offended that someone would treat them this way after they treated them worse.

Hearing from reliable sources that the French bus driver wanted to kidnap the Musicology Duck to force feed him and produce foi gras. I am vegetarian and take no pleasure in reporting this.

America is being “busnapped” by a driver named “Drumpf” who is trying to drive us away from the “Union,” so excuse me if I don’t care too much about what’s happening to one duck—who is *checks notes* white

Rough first day as a bus driver 😕 always sucks when you work a customer service job and the customers insist they know more than you and threaten to get you fired

I think Trump would have gotten along swimmingly with Gaddafi if they were in power at the same time. Saddam would have been more of an Assad situation, but Gaddafi? Jolani times five thousand

I’ve been trying to learn Spanish. I have gotten most of the grammar down from listening to the Language Transfer podcast, and find I can read Spanish Wikipedia (frustratingly slowly). Most of the stuff I find for practice at my novice level is frustratingly boring; anyone have any recommendations?

Don’t call them oomfs bro!

Election ‘72! Which message will appeal to voters? Grant: Southerners have to be put under military occupation so they don’t revert to their natural state of stark raving mass murderers Greeley:

Tony Morrison, 1995

This is essentially navalnyism but for the confederate nation dedicated to destroying multicultural America

New York’s hottest club is Beef City It has everything NIMBYs, DeepTech, Ed Norton in character from The Score, Red Scare, Jello Glenn Greenwald. They also have Tanning Beds. It’s that thing where you’re tired and you climb into bed and Gary Tan is there lecturing you about a lack of hustle.

We're $8200 away from 40% of our goal. I hope you can help us hit that important milestone for going big this year. In the thread below is some examples of our work gofund.me/5192254eb

this is the dumbest diplomatic crisis of my life
