🚨🚨 NEW DOCUMENTS FROM EPSTEIN'S ESTATE DETAILING HIS DAILY SCHEDULE: They show meetings with Steve Bannon, Peter Thiel, and a potential visit to Epstein’s Island for Elon Musk. Prince Andrew is listed as a passenger on Epstein’s jet. DOJ must release the Epstein files NOW.

UNTIL IT'S DONE, Ep. 2 When the Brownsville Clinic opened in 1916, it was the first birth control center in America. Its very existence felt impossible. For young women, it was a lifeline. 109 years later, the Clinic is long closed—but Brownsville mothers are still struggling.

I’m covering Kamala’s book and seeing that she is exactly who leftists & independents said they wanted. But too many were blinded for various reasons. And to those who want Israel contained, Kamala- like Obama & Hillary- was the person for the job.

Nexstar and Sinclair are bleeding advertisers. Every one they lose is potentially millions of dollars. Let's keep it going. Thanks @davidaugust.bsky.social and others for providing more advertisers for us to contact. On the list. Is everyone clear on the mission? tinyurl.com/4kff3s84

i've got three words for you: roll for initiative

165M voters. Who are still protesting and shitting on a private citizen, but are too scared to go after the current administration.

Now pushing no Tylenol for kids. My two small kids recently spiked three fevers in two weeks (Covid, virus, virus). You want me to make them stay up all night sweating and keening rather than give them one safe chewable, drop their temp, and let them go to sleep? You are an actual monster.

Part of what makes me skeptical is that the arguments against often include (sometimes quite explicitly) a component of moral judgment, where climate change is a essentially a righteous punishment for our poor stewardship and overconsumption, and geoengineering is cheating to avoid the consequences.

i think i'm mostly sold on geoengineering. not so much because i have thought about it or studied it in any detail but because i have seen this argument five times and the arguments against always seem really weak

the frustrating thing is there actually *are* some specific Democrats who are signalling willingness to throw immigrants under the bus and it would be REALLY FUCKING USEFUL to be able to target and talk about them and why their strategy is bad and worse-than-counterproductive

i think the thing everyone is missing is that we've been through a boom-bust cycle with Trump *several times now* everyone hated him in 2017, then by 2019 everything was Fine, then COVID and BLM hit in time for Dems to win an election, then by 2024 we, collectively, loved him again, now we hate him

I don’t mean I’m a prophet or anything, I don’t know when or how or whether this all goes down. I just mean our pessimism right now, deeply mired in this moment, cannot be evidence that we will never be out of it.

Lots of people saying they don’t see his popularity ever falling below 35% or whatever, and I get it, but there’s a slowly-then-all-at-once thing that can happen with these things. We can’t see it at all from this side and then it looks inevitable in retrospect.

this shit would be a bit much for news anchors in Pyongyang

If we're finally going to crack down about lying to Congress under oath, I think there are several Cabinet members and a few Supreme Court justices whose testimonies might need revisiting.

british leftists talk about the failures of british leftism without assuming as a core axiom that the failures are something American Democrats developed and exported to the UK challenge, difficulty level: impossible if anything it's the other way around, TERF Islanders oughtta know that

No matter what this meeting is about, Pete will always be a National Guardsman assigned to a Civil Affairs unit who got a bunch of crusader tattoos in his 40s because he wants you to think he's a cool, war-criming operator instead of an extremely online wife-beating loser

i know nearly nothing about proper protocols and i could tell that he done fucked up in a million ways

A generational level of cultural understanding and historical context, my god

Endless, unprecedented corruption large and small

Hahahaha incredible *BYTEDANCE TO MAINTAIN OWNERSHIP OF TIKTOK US BUSINESS OPS: RTRS

Okay lol this is funny. The deal is reportedly $14bn, which is way below consensus on what it's worth (maybe, say $40bn). The reason is that they're not selling the whole economic interest. *BYTEDANCE TO GET ABOUT 50% OF TIKTOK US PROFIT UNDER TRUMP DEAL

it's always weird to me when hordes of The Kind Of White Guys You Expect poast in response to a media reporter posting a video of Jeffries saying something as if the reporter is Jeffries himself. it's the first 500 replies to ANY video of Jeffries saying ANYTHING and it's always BAFFLING

Jeffries: "If Donald Trump really believed that he had a strong position here, then why did you back out of the meeting bro?"

BOLDUAN: When I was asking you about Comey, you've twice now brought up the Epstein files and Tom Homan. Why? RASKIN: Because the DOJ is in full coverup mode

i'm mostly being flip here, i'm not confident cases against prop 50 go anywhere, but they are perfectly willing to pull judicial chicanery to achieve political ends lol

vote yes on prop 50, either we fight fire with fire or we kick out one of the last support beams from under this sagging, anticonstitutional court

they’re gonna halt california’s statewide voter-approved temporary redistricting and approve mid-cycle redistricting by fiat in missouri, texas, and florida in the same week and huff and puff at the audacity of anyone to question their faithfulness or legitimacy

In a genuine WOW moment, this administration publicly acknowledges (perhaps for the first time) that an ICE officer violated procedure and will be taken off duty and subject to an investigation. This is a step in the right direction — I just wish it wasn't only because of such an awful viral video.

I hate app-first design cuz being on mobile feels like being on a snail on a tricycle to me, and being on PC feels like being a cheetah driving a corvette "Oh sorry you can't do perfect drifts with your cheetah paws if you wanna use this feature tee hee" Fuck off

It's wild how into Silksong's release and Silksong content I am as some who will probably never purchase or play that sort of game. Just so cool to see a game made with depth and love and a community that gets to enjoy it.

3) it's far from obvious to me that one type of person can be genuinely transformed into the other 4) the people who are already inclined to acknowledge the limits of their knowledge sometimes end up overcorrecting, and being reluctant to assert things that are very credibly true-- also bad!

1) I agree more people should say these things 2) a noticeable minority of people, those concerned with intellectual honesty and accessing the truth, already *are* inclined to say these things, so the scope of "we" matters a lot

Really interesting tidbits in this latest NYT focus group

I do not believe the literal Antichrist is alive on Earth right now, but I do think that the right wing and the tech bros are, collectively in the aggregate, close to what you would get if you ordered a knockoff Antichrist from Temu

“What, I’m expected to find meaning for myself instead of having meaning thrust upon me? Sounds like lib shit.”

find some way to make the glowing rectangle in your pocket undo the effects of the glowing rectangle. or invent a different gadget that has different outcomes. just stop living in the past

even "we could fix online dating if we brought back OKC" nostalgia is superior to the kind of nostalgia that does numbers here. because OKC created meaningful interpersonal relationships BY USING THE COMPUTER instead of pretending it didn't exist

imagine something new that can give people prosocial outcomes, meet them where they are now. just for the love of god stop telling them that everything will be fixed if we bring back the 20th century

i've realized now that one of primary things that makes me so pissed off by 'atomization' meta-discourse is that it is "RTVN" for blue culture

as a Bills fan it pleases me to know that at least one Cardinals fan fucking Gets It and is sufficiently unhinged

the best art makes you uncomfortable in ways you cannot fully grasp

I think angry-guy is a permission structure; he "Tells it like it is," and that gives them permission to speak their minds, too. "If the President can do it and get away with it, so can I! I mean look at him, he did it and he became the President!" Angry-guy is a permission structure.

I feel like a lot of our political moment stems down to tens of millions of Americans literally incapable of imagining something worse than someone being annoying.

not to mention the issue of troop morale. few Americans want to police other americans, and fewer still want to be an occupying force. ice is already unable to meet recruiting quotas hence the use of untrained militias in masks to make up the short fall.

trump brags about unleashing the military in LA, but unless you live or work in a few sq blocks near macarthur park, you’d have no idea the military was in LA. the city of LA is 469 sq miles. it would strain the military’s capabilities to fully occupy it. stick together and stay loud. we’ll be ok

Kinda think this dude may have made a slight mistake. Becoming the face of violent oppression. Not a great look.

If you are lucky enough, you will quickly amass an army of tigers powerful enough to break out of this cycle of samsara

“I read How-Ard Zin’s People’s History of the Galactic Republic in school, Your Highness, so I know the Republic was the true evil empire and that its unchecked aggression meant you had no choice but to eliminate it in order to free everyone who lived under its capitalist-imperialist yoke”.
