If politicians really want to “save childhood,” they can start by ensuring every child has three meals a day, a safe place to sleep, and safe access to education. Banning social media does nothing to help kids who don’t have basic resources.

In the year 2026, is anyone making music that responds to the absolute madness of our moment à la RATM?

this made my stomach turn

10+ years of tracking biometric data has led me to the stunning insight that I feel better on days I don’t work

When you drop a bomb on civilians, I think that’s murder. I don’t really care for any justifications. They’re people. The enormity of the loss is devastating and it’s easier for some people to look away. But for other people, that’s their family. Their children. It’s just sickening and so wrong.

Thousands of lives destroyed for literally nothing

People are celebrating Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi being fired — rightly so, as they're terrible — but I also fear that the second- and soon to be third-choice picks will be worse. Trump does not have a deep bench for competency and they are all driven by similarly evil values.

I wrote about how the Hasan Piker drama serves as a proxy fight between centrists and the left, and how it exposes the real priorities of Democrats like Cory Booker.

Is it controversial to say that the USPS does not need to turn a profit? $9B for what it does seems fine tbh

It was 38 hours between my water breaking and my child being born, with no issues. There’s zero reason this needed to happen. A profound violation.

I keep breaking my family’s No Politics in the Group Chat rule. Maybe THIS will be the horrifying article that breaks them out of the auto response to deflect and justify every heinous thing happening rn. No luck yet.

I worry what they’ll do to sway public opinion

Kat Abughazaleh on the Iron Dome "Defensive weaponry is an oxymoron. Weapons are inherently offensive.

It's depressing how quickly the Trump regime's cold-blooded murders in the Caribbean Sea have become background noise in the US. At least 150 people killed.

y’all need to chill it’s only monday pleeease 😔

Gavin Newsom decided to platform both Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon as his first guests on his podcast. He conceded to their bad-faith talking points. He isn't the answer for Democrats moving forward on a national level. If Dems back him, they can only blame themselves.

he was stripped of his title but still in the line of succession???!

Everyone making noise about Olympic Skater Ilia Malinin (a white dude) pulling off the first legal backflip in competition as if he is a revolutionary skater needs to remember Surya Bonaly (black girl) completed a backflip in the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics and was penalized for it I call Bullshit

BREAKING: ICE and Border Patrol are beating a 16 year old like a grown enemy soldier. Guns out. Heads slammed into concrete. This country is rotting in real time.

Grateful to see Liam and his papa home. And a reminder that there are 3800+ children and babies being held in DHS detention centers.

None of it is a distraction because ultimately it’s all connected

i am so sick of the dumbest people alive being in charge of everything and the second dumbest people alive writing opinion columns about how it's good

Very little discussion about this but 153 Dems joined MAGA to vote for HR 7006 to: •Advance abortion restrictions •Send $3.3B to Israel as they commit genocide •Crushes Palestinian autonomy •Ignores our healthcare Here's who voted YEA & a script to call them out: www.qasimrashid.com/p/153-democr...

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I was laid off earlier this year, unemployed for nearly 7 months. My parents still don’t know.

how is ALL the news bad jfc

Hakeem Jeffries is up for reelection on November 3, 2026.

I studied journalism. Didn’t end up pursuing it because jobs were hard to come by but always respected the power of honest reporting. The kind in All The President’s Men or Spotlight. The last few years have left me profoundly disappointed, to say the least, in institutions I once admired.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

My grandmother is technically one of 8 children but 3 of her siblings died before reaching school age. I can’t imagine the pain so many families experienced. Now some are choosing the unimaginable.

Giving a predator like Ghislain Maxwell a platform, moving her to a comfortable prison without receiving anything in return except to claim innocence and say you’re nice guy— when 100’s of children where victimized is a miscarriage of justice. Epstein survivor—“…She also participated in the abuse…”

Imagine believing it's wiser and morally superior to convince millions to suck it up and vote for genocide (bombing hospitals, sniping children, starving an entire population) rather than standing together and forcing one person to change their evil, Hitler-emulating policy.

Bret Stephens is the reason I finally cancelled my NYT Games subscription
