That’s what you were taught to say, that’s what you were taught to think, but have you actually thought about the things you were taught to say and taught to think?

Marc Elias is the greatest democracy fighter I have seen in my life. No doubt, this regime wants to persecute him for it.

I regret to inform you that logic has been deployed to announce its own failure.

“Hello, I am Identity Politics.” Hello, I am Rationality. “We have no need for you here.”

Keeper of the Flame (1942), starring Katharine Hepburn & Spencer Tracy.

Sarah Cooper is back. 👏

I’m sayin

Dean Withers tearing through an “educated” MAGA with facts. This might be the strongest rebuttal I have ever seen. Dean accepts the premise, and then puts it to the test.

Turning the Government of the United States of America against the First Amendment rights of its citizens. More political investigations in an attempt to intimidate and stifle free speech.

Let’s be clear: President Trump’s attacks on birthright citizenship are a blatant attempt to strip away the rights and humanity of children and their immigrant family members.

Republicans: “Let’s make existence as difficult and as miserable as we can for everyone except people that have wealth.”

Amazon used to be a superb website for book research, back when Amazon didn’t censor negative reviews. Those reviews were helpful for all products. People would refute and expose bunk products, deliver warnings. They used to have “Listmania” were people would compile lists of quality books.

Our crisis is stupidity, which led to the formation of a cult of stupidity, which stands immune to evidence and reason— cognitive dissonance all the way down. Prove me wrong.

JUST IN: The alleged J6 pipe bomber confessed, said he wanted to “speak up” for those who believed 2020 election was stolen, dislikes both parties and modeled his attack on the Troubles in Ireland. Says he wasn’t targeting the joint session of Congress storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

ICE attacking the home of a US Citizen, two children inside, discharging explosives on the windows, terrifying the children

“Not everyone is welcome” says KKK Christ loving Christian pastor.

Discovering logic is like discovering you have eyes. (This seems like an incredibly poor analogy, but it’s exactly the case. We are always using logic the same way we are always using our eyes, we just take it for granted. One day you wake up and say, “I have logic, I can see!”)

It takes incredible courage to continue laboring for truth in a culture that constantly tries to evade it. But it takes more than courage, the courage is the easy part, it takes resilience. There is no reward for defending the truth, but there is plenty of resentment and resistance.

The top 1% evade $163B in taxes each year Employers steal $50B from workers each year Insurance companies defrauded Medicare for at least $50B Trump joked he’s giving himself a $1B settlement Only caring about fraud when it’s immigrants means it’s not the fraud you care about

Harvard Law Professor explains why the law is not stopping ICE, and what to do about it:

Aspects of substantive knowledge formation: Seeing limits of models// Noticing where explanations stop being intuitive// Asking the right questions, not just getting answers.

Logic

Explains how ICE is trampling American’s Constitutional Rights

You can always tell a fake skeptic from a real one, fake skeptics don’t like it when you challenge their skepticism.

Once we figure out how to cooperate and work together, completely bypassing the paradigm of top-down slave formations of society and production 👇

This is the best political video I have seen all year. I highly recommend Rick’s message (from the Lincoln Project). It’s a humble message of hope, sanity and civility. This is the perfect counter to all the doom and toxicity of our climate of Trumpian Republican politics.

Language is something we often hide behind, music can be the opposite of this, it is something we can tell the truth with , at least in terms of how we feel. Here we can be vulnerable, sad, perplexed, tender without being judged.

Former President Obama continues to display leadership, compassion and authenticity! 💖✨ Merry Christmas sir! @barackobama.bsky.social

No. We are living through the failure of philosophy to uphold and defend truth. We are living through the failure of intellectuals to uphold and defend truth. We are living through the failure of institutions and courts to uphold and defend the rule of law. Nihilistic actors are f;cking sh;t up.

Relativists, postmodernists and pragmatists really believed their attack on truth and objectivity was bringing enlightenment and emancipation, but this is false. It simply destroyed freedom’s ability to hold tyranny to account. We are still suffocating in this confusion.

When I was a boy I brought home some fossils from the seashore. To my surprise, one of them was a living creature attached to a rock (probably for a very long time). I pulled it off the rock, fully alive. The strangeness of it scared me, so I threw it away. I still wonder what that thing was.

National Guard is not ICE. This is not what they volunteered to do, but they have to follow orders and so far the orders are mostly to stand around doing not much of anything. Don’t take out your anger at the top on the men and women at the bottom.

🧵 The Proud Tree and the Great Tree Once upon a time, there was a forest of trees. One tree in that forest was exceedingly bold and would mock all the trees that strained and broke under the stress of the wind. “Get tougher like me,” he would say.

NEW: One brought a gun home. One moved. Others improved home security. Life as a federal judge in the age of Trump: www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just denied the Trump administration's desperate effort to deploy National Guard troops in the Chicago area. This is a huge win for the rule of law.

BREAKING: Huge loss for Trump administration at Supreme Court, which rules that the Trump administration had lacked authority to federalize and deploy the National Guard to execute laws in Illinois. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

NEW: By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court blocks Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to assist immigration agents. A majority holds that he likely lacks authority to do so. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

This will be an economic death blow for many people. A system that is obviously designed to harm people and destroy society.

You can see it all so clearly if you just see how much they resent having to play by the rules. “Law for thee, but not for me.”

NEW: Tens of thousands of documents appearing to be from "Dataset 8" of the Epstein files went live on a Justice Department website today, only to be pulled down hours later without explanation. w/ @eorden.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

here's the 60 minutes cecot video part 1 of 5 - recorded/uploaded by and all credit to @jasonparis.bsky.social I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here

Take comfort in the incompetence, my friends. I mean fathom, Pam Bondi went before Congress, and the best she could do was muster ad hominem attacks scribbled and pasted onto the back of manilla folders? Think about that! It’s truly pathetic.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Apparently, ICE isn’t doing enough… So the gang is expanding its ranks, recruiting *private bounty hunters* to track down immigrants at home and at work
