I had exactly the same thought on the Nazism in Miller's remarks: the social contagion, the "we must see them as physically deformed, a manifestation of their congenital moral and spiritual deformation," the implication of a social contagion to be excised.

As I discovered when there was a "how many degrees of separation are you from Adolf Hitler" discussion a while back, Herbert Hoover is also virtually the only notable American who ever met him.

Husband just came in to tell me that since the assassination of Abraham Lincoln every American president has been alive at the same time as Herbert Hoover.

Harlan Crow, if you will remember, has a statue garden dedicated to despots and mass killers while also having undisclosed Nazi memorabilia in his mansion. He hosted the University of Austin and commissioned a portrait of himself with good friend and race science enthusiast Charles Murray.

The same Harlan Crow who has a mansion full of Nazi memorabilia?🙄

Highly recommend! Strange People on the Hill, by @michaelehayden.bsky.social, describes how the “somewhat queer-friendly” resort town of Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, was torn apart by the arrival of the leaders of an SPLC-designated hate group. www.hatecomestomainstreet.com/p/what-im-re...

Ossoff: “You refuse to answer a basic question about who won a presidential election? But you ask to lead America’s intelligence community? Isn’t it humiliating to be unable to answer this question? To have to indulge the president’s delusions?”

Someone tell David French and company to read a history book for God's sake.

Absolutely deranged understanding of American government and the current times. The number of Justices isn't even in the Constitution, it's a statute from 1869! It is, in fact, not essential our Republic has a hyper-partisan GOP SCOTUS that makes sure its favored candidates and policies always win.

#2 would actually be as unpopular as Klein and company claim Defund was.

No, they want to keep Citizens United era wheel greasing and their party country club culture in tact. They don't want to rock the boat.

In April, we reported on the MSG surveillance machine–an operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more. You can now read it for free.

This month, we published another article revealing that MSG kept a database of VIP event attendees, labeling some of them as LGBTQIA and assigning a “risk score” to others. This is also now free to read:

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

Perpetually doing the meme.

Appointments that must be confirmed by the Senate: • Executive branch officers • General officers in the armed forces • Libero for the Thomas Jefferson Middle School Lady Patriots

It is totally incomprehensible to me to actually WANT an obviously bullshit award.

Everyone in the US and Canada are free to walk head first into a wildfire. Get out there and claim your freedom, Eric.

The irony of Joe Biden refusing to moderate on weapons sales is that he helped effectively torpedo the status quo support for arming Israel in the Dem base.

If we're talkin' The Odyssey then know that this is the only cyclops I recognize.

This is about the same political party that made your gas cost $6 overnight and bottomed out consumer confidence to lows not seen since 1950 with only one year in office.

The beautiful game. The people’s game. Throughout this World Cup, we have been reminded of a simple truth: football belongs to everyone. So does the joy and community it creates. Yesterday, I joined New Yorkers on Rikers Island to watch England take on Argentina.

AP has the details on David Brouillette, the ICE agent who murdered Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine this week—a long trail of wild violence against women that got him kicked out of a Maine police force, but made him a prime hiring target for ICE. apnews.com/article/ice-...

The way assimilation in US history has worked is that once immigrant groups (and Native Americans) demonstrated it, or proved to be successful at so-called civilization, white nativists turned to systematic lynchings, pogroms, and mass murders to destroy the generational wealth they created.

This lettuce is literally everywhere and usually it’s in contexts where no one knows/discloses it. Taco Bell is one of the only places doing the right, proactive thing here and misleading headlines are flipping things around making seem like they’re a site of danger instead.

The more I learn about how Democratic Party operatives come about, the more I understand why the Party is the way it is.

they’re assigning themselves the open-ended ability to decide who counts as human enough to deserve human rights

China is just another European with a warmer smile coming for their slice of the continent.

These are the types of voters that the Republican Party wants to cultivate with its cultural revolution, I mean "education modernization." Clueless, easily duped, probably racist and lacking the tools to get out of that state.

There’s simply no legitimate use for crypto. Its only practical uses are tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, speculation, and crime. The crypto lobby is large and well-financed. It has already bought off many members of Congress including, sad to say, a number of Democrats.

1) it's not gender-affirming care when it's being foisted upon ppl w/o their consent. this policy is *invasive* 2) anti-trans GAC legislation is *also invasive* as it's designed to take away control of our own bodies. LET'S CALL IT INVASIVE! LET'S PROMOTE BODILY AUTONOMY RATHER THAN MAKING GAC JOKES

BAD FAITH, BAD PEOPLE - Kushner & Witkoff During Talks, Iran Sent Message to JD Vance Warning that Kushner and Witkoff Were “Abusing” Their Inside Access to Negotiations. A senior Iranian official said Tehran privately told Vance the pair were exploiting the negotiations for financial gain.

"Okay"

I’m sorry, what was that you were saying about how the military shouldn’t be paying for gender-confirming health care? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

In the US, the tell is that the business bachelors has one of the worst ROIs in higher ed. But they're not going to get rid of that one, are they?

Congratulations New Yorkers on the nation’s first statewide data center moratorium.

Pete Hegseth just blocked the promotions of seven senior Navy officers — five of whom are women or people of color — to two-star admiral rank. For the first time in more than a decade, no female active-duty naval officers are likely to be promoted to admiral this year.

Dems run on this immigration platform all the time, and have for as long as I've been eligible to vote. Not only has it not helped, it's a hindrance.

Same policy suite that includes importing South African apartheidists and no one else.

This is a story about getting insulted by a bigoted Senator while on assignment to cover the AME church massacre in Charleston.

In the past month I've heard from Brits who think cheeseburgers and hot dogs are our main foods, that Cajun food is sugary noodles (?), and that we don't have brick buildings. What the hell is going on over there?

These guys love turn-of-the-twentieth-century race science. It is their guiding philosophy.

Elon Musk's xAI has installed more than double the number of gas turbines than it has publicly acknowledged to power its Colossus 2 data center project, without federal permits, and the pollution is hitting predominantly Black neighborhoods the hardest reut.rs/4bIghEm
