I'm curious which marginalized groups are and are not a "hill worth dying on," and who gets to determine it.

This is why you rarely see the anti trans side going after Hunter Schafer or Kim Petras. They went on puberty blockers and transitioned as teens. They're massively successful and living happy lives. They don't want to highlight that.

They’re not even half way done. And didn’t realize it until this morning apparently, because they would have definitely informed congress sooner , right?

Imagine if all the chuds with “We The People” tattoos could actually read and understand the Constitution. Like, bro, explain how the president has authority to levy tariffs without congressional approval. Show me where in that document the federal government has the power to regulate immigration.

Republicans stop talking about people's genitalia for two fucking minutes challenge (impossible)

"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.   ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

Children are being exploited. Let’s respond by dramatically hindering our ability to point out or criticize children being exploited, using methods we don’t understand because we’re old and incurious.

The people who used violent insurrection to obstruct a peaceful transfer of power want us to believe that Judge Dugan peacefully exercising control over her own courtroom is somehow obstruction of a government agency known for violating due process & torturing innocent people. Absurd.

One of the best things I’ve read this year: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

matt & co’s theory of how public opinion on immigration would respond to new information was simply empirically wrong. at this point the only reasonable conclusion is they refuse to update their priors w/ new data because the data is inconvenient for them www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-cost-o...

New at The Watch: A comprehensive primer on the drug boat strikes open.substack.com/pub/radleyba...

Trump's new executive order will ban, over the next three years, more than 140,000 spouses, fiancés, and minor children of US citizens and legal permanent residents. Nearly 100,000 nuclear family of US citizens. Unconscionable

Everyone who is having a pleasant holiday season because they aren't in the Epstein files, step forward. Not so fast, David Brooks.

Only a person easily bribed would think that everyone else is easily bribed. $1776 to the soldiers. $1500 to you, to cover a lifetime of medical expenses. $2000 tariff refund. A man with billions of dollars thinks you can be bought for 2 grand.

NYT: “In a newly obtained recording of a phone call from late 2020, President Trump can be heard pressing the speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives to hold a special legislative session to overturn Mr. Trump’s election loss.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/u...

The Epstein files are set to drop tomorrow. Right on cue, the Pedophile Protection Party speaker canceled votes before the deadline. The American people deserve the entire truth. No delays. No cover-ups. No redactions.

again thinking of when The Free Press ran an article alleging that George Floyd was not killed by the cops, and @radleybalko.bsky.social proved beyond any question that the article was bullshit, and instead of retracting it Weiss asked him to come on her podcast

Woke Bill Kristol isn't real, he can't hurt you by being right about stuff. Woke Bill Kristol:

Dershowitz is also totally wrong about how this works. House can only pick somebody who’s in the top three from the Electoral College. A candidate’s electors all abstaining, even setting aside how state binding laws wouldn’t let them do that, would mean they’re not eligible in a contingent election.

Lolwut.

You should read this story about deaths due to poor dialysis treatment at a federal women's medical prison. Medical neglect in prison is widespread and unimaginably barbaric. (I had to file a FOIA lawsuit for the mortality reports mentioned here too) www.themarshallproject.org/2025/12/16/w...

Lol, remember when they used to argue that they were in favor of legal immigrants. What a fucking knee-slapper.

wow that was stupid but i guess at least he didn’t declare war with venezuela

This would not have passed if those chickenshit Dems Davis, Cellar, and Gonzalez had not voted for it. They voted to put the parents of trans youth in prison for ten years. Primary them all.

Never 4get youtu.be/Z0WcWkVOQTc?...

If Trump announces a new and illegal regime change war against Venezuela tonight pay attention to which elected Democrats stay silent and don’t vociferously oppose and condemn him for it - and then make sure those Dems are subjected to primary challenges next year.

New Quinnipiac poll: 57% favor path to legalization for undocs vs 35% who back deporting them Trump underwater on immigration (44-54) and on deportations (42-55) Meanwhile DHS's Twitter feed is a white nationalist sewer pit and Gregory Bovino is swaggering around like an occupying general

Indiana created an age-verification law that would never work. It was warned it wouldn't work. And now that it hasn't worked, it's suing adult companies for failing to make it work. "It essentially bases liability on the failure to accomplish impossibilities." In other words, AV was a set up.

Total victory on this issue; members of Congress will again have the right to conduct surprise inspections of ICE detention centers.

It's not discrimination if you're a dipshit Robby that's not a suspect class

Guys, victimhood culture is alpha now

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

I don't know anything about photography but these Vanity Fair photos do speak to me. Plainly the person on the right has sold his soul and isn't happy with the return, and plainly the person on the left has just been arrested for stealing jewelry from a department store

“Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power…”

If we are banning cell phones for kids we need to be talking about banning chatbots for boomers www.persuasion.community/p/my-chatgpt...

Ken Paxton, the Texas AG has created a bathroom snitch line to report suspected trans people in bathrooms. Please don't spam this form that lacks a captcha code and definitely don't create a script to automate it. That would be very very wrong to do. www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/texas-womens...

ROSEN: Will you commit to opening an investigation into Fox News for deceptively editing a Trump interview to make him look good during a presidential campaign? CARR: No

One of the group chats I’m in is convinced that the tell a man is normal and well adjusted in 2025 is if he owns and uses a toilet brush, and this started as a bit but at this point I’m basically convinced that it’s true

No, Justice Kavanaugh, it's not the "interim" docket. Yes, Justice Kavanaugh, I would like you to answer for the consequences of your votes — especially when those consequences come from a vote on what you claim is the "interim" docket. No, you don't have to answer. Yes, I'll keep asking.

This is a judicial emergency. Every Trump judicial nominee in 2025 refused to acknowledge the 2020 election or January 6. And 18 Senate Democrats confirmed them anyway. When courts bend to authoritarian demands, justice collapses. Fight back now: www.qasimrashid.com/p/democrats-...

Look I know you’re an academic and it’s not helpful to bash academics but maybe we should be asking what’s happening at our elite private institutions of higher learning that cooks people’s brains so much. You’ve been the clearest voice for the danger of Trump. Yet so many other educated folks…🤷‍♀️

A lot of military hardware to put into position but not go to war. A lot.

Chris Rufo makes a passionate plea for Americans to confine themselves to fact-based bigotry and fear and ignorance.

NEW: Tina Peters is rejecting a J6er's call to storm a Colorado prison and free her. Peters is distancing herself from the jailbreak scheme and violent actions after allies and her attorney talked about using force or violence to free her and punish those keeping her in prison.

As Europe is preparing for conflict with Russia, Pete retreats. Republicans sold America’s integrity and values for Russian blood money. If only more Americans traveled abroad instead of burying their heads in Fox News they’d realize how tragic this is.
