This story about David Brooks is one of the most brutal takedowns I’ve ever read. By the late Tony Judt

Please do not give money to the fucking Democratic Party of all people in this moment, holy shit. There are so many funds supporting communities, people protesting on the streets, providing health and legal funds to those who need it immediately. We really, truly only have us now.

lmao

This is the ICE agent who murdered a woman by shooting her multiple times in the face.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

THREAD. Every year, I tell the story of Ezell Gilbert. It's the story of one of the most remarkable cases in U.S. history, and you’ve probably never heard of it. The story of what the U.S. government did to him is vital for understanding the current moment we are in.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

if bari weiss had tried to do 9/11 there'd be three towers now

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts. It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long. www.filemail.com/d/wkcdttnacp...

the kids are alright (wait for it)

As Trump drags us into an Iraq-style war in Venezuela, 312 members of the House — including 115 Democrats — just voted to authorize over $900 billion in military spending.

We're going to have to kill and eat the Grinch to gain his anti-christmassy powers. The effect will be temporary, but it should allow us to perceive reality as it truly is, without the illusory effect of Christmas joy. If my calculations are correct, Santa buried his phylactery there,

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

Look, for fuck’s sake, humans have been migrating continuously for our entire existence. Every single human in the world is the product of migration. It’s what humans do. There is nothing *more* human. That’s never going to change. Just grow up, get the fuck over it and plan accordingly.

The Reddit community r/Democrats has a conspicuous absence of any news about Zohran Mamdani today. But that's by design. The moderators have rules that ban people from talking about democratic socialists. www.reddit.com/r/democrats/

saw this clip of the NYC mayor debate and i had tears in my eyes, perhaps the most insane section of any debate ever

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

Any reason you’re not posting this fucking insane clip everywhere?

A new Census Bureau report establishes that poverty increased over the course of the Biden administration. The data is yet another rebuke to the politicians and commentators who insisted economic conditions under Joe Biden were great.

Karina Villa protecting her constituents by literally running ICE off the streets in West Chicago and yelling to residents to stay inside their homes.

I think something we have to establish and hold firm on is that you can’t be magnanimous with other people’s lives.

While we’re talking Megan McArdle and I’m rage-spilling about my time in WaPo Opinions, let me just leave this from my (now deleted) threads account here.

"Half the country is Republican" seems to be a foundational myth for the Ezraverse. It's why we have to learn to live with fascists About 25% of the US population voted for Trump in 2024, less in 2016. 11% of the country is registered Republicans, and I wouldn't assume all of them are hardcore MAGA

This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵

is that what i think it is

This is a masterpiece. Simply excellent www.instagram.com/reel/DMVGMIC...

Ozzy osbourne was only supportive of Israel bc he wanted to be absolutely sure he’d get to go to hell

I hate making multiple videos about the same subject but Ethan Klein is such an utterly disgusting litigious misogynist and his fans are such raging dumbfucks I might need to do a follow up.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

So, Jamelle Bouie criticizes an attempted-gotcha on Mamdani at NYT, then NYT asks him to remove any criticism from social, but the author of the attempted-gotcha works with impunity? Do I have that right?

whatever happens next and in the future, it's important that we do not criticize biden or any democrats. it's enough to criticize the voters

Libertarian writer Beepus Bryant IV has left Bluesky after being disrespected for his writing in the New England Journal for the Removal of Seatbelts

Reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut.

The majority of my state did vote for dems. Because of gerrymandering, the state senate is 60% Republican. There are enough dems to uphold a governors veto, but it only works half the time because it's so easy to find dems that will vote with republicans.

This is a fantastic idea, Mr Ackerman. You should do this, you should spend ALL of your money on this.

It breaks my heart to see liberals say "dems lost the election, what do you want them to do?" Was MLK a senator? Was Ghandi in parliment? Did they sit on their hands until the next election? This is how activism has always worked, if you wont even try, youre in the wrong business.

"Andrew Cuomo is visibly upset and people are crying"

This little piece of info should probably have been in the main statement
