I think this piece is valuable in that it forces to name what exactly our alternative vision (aesthetic and political) to Trumpism really is. There’s an unstated assumption On Here that we can somehow make it politically 2012 again, which is impossible. What do we want our new world to look like?

if only solar panels hadn't alienated conservatives wiht progressive issue positions on gender and race

so are we all really going to perish from climate change in 50 years? half of what I read makes it seem that catastrophic

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American. Two options: 1) ICE deliberately targeted him. 2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens. Hard to say which option is scarier.

now feels like a test of whether those who say they’re just antizionist and not antisemitic actually demonstrate that

The world would be better off if the Palestinians just didn't exist, says former president of the United States

nearly 100 people are dead. we barely know anything about them. their largest impact on the politics of the country that murdered them resulted entirely from how psychopathically the deed was done, not that it was done in the first place, that's totally fine!

the number of subsistence-level fishermen living in desperate fear right now because Kegseth and co have to make snuff videos for twitter is just...you get very angry if you think about all this too long

This is all a very good example of how TPUSA actually works to advance conservative ideas, and why all the paeans to Charlie Kirk's commitment to free discourse and debate were so mind-numbingly stupid.

it's almost like... there's a direct connection between fossil fuels heating up the planet and loss of water resources you might even acknowledge every tanker of imported oil displaces a tanker's load of fresh water www.theguardian.com/environment/...

then they spit on you repeatedly, tell you your family members and relatives who are stuck at home won't be able to come, tell you your relatives that did make it might get deported back, and call you slurs nonstop. what do you think will happen to your already cooked brain

A foreign army shows up to your village when you're a young adult or even straight up still a child and tells you they'll pay you to kill people for them or do really anything to help kill people for them. then they take you to their country after they lose but give you no job, house, or citizenship

This is the result of the CIA using children to kill people and yet a whole lot of people don’t want to recognize *American* culture, and in particular the culture of the War on Terror, at work here.

Look forward to Bari Weiss asking "has identity politics gone too far?" while studiously ignoring the most virulent identity politics driving American government

Zero reckoning from any of the elites who credulously parroted the absurd idea that the right wing was in favor of free speech.

Kind of baffling how all the Serious People have converged on this notion that climate change is yesterday’s news right around the time it actually starts to have a visible, day to day impact that even regular people have to go out of their way to not notice.

as a moderate i am willing to compromise on the issue of whether there should be a trial

Average person who talked about a Syria test for 14 years is completely ok with this btw

for the record, it is extremely fucked up how much we reasonably fear reprisals against civilian populations if anyone harms the armies of criminals occupying our cities

the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity

"But the issue isn’t that we need more 'boy-friendly' reforms. It’s that boys are still socialized to compete only with boys and to read girls’ success as illegitimate or emasculating. The result is dissonance, resentment, and disengagement for boys—and hostile climates for girls."

The average medieval peasant could not buy a gas station delta 9 gummy and watch “Scooter Fail Compilation 5” on YouTube, which makes it difficult to compare GDP across time

"A Chinese immigrant was found dead in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention, with his hands and feet tied behind him, an attorney has alleged." www.newsweek.com/ice-detainee...

yeah it's a good thing Landon didn't publish any of this shit. the Times might have had to bump an article about trans people. bsky.app/profile/arid...

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

America's political elite has decided that climate change is no longer that important or worth talking about, but rest assured, it's still happening, it's extremely bad, and yes, it is going to affect you here in America.

Yeah, but that was before air travel was in trouble and the senators were personally affected, see

Media elites despise communities like mine: urban, educated, professional class wage earners. But here in real America, all the volunteers at the bike co-op I work at were excited about Mamdani. The American press is out of touch with people like us and it shows.

This piece on Dick Cheney by @attackerman.bsky.social stands out for two reasons: it’s incredible thoroughness and the vitriol Spencer pours on the former VP. And like all good writing, the two are connected. The thoroughness of the facts about Cheney laid bare defies anyone not to loathe him.

with 50 percent of the vote in, 2/3rds of California has voted to send Kevin Kiley to the shadow dimension

if democrats are serious about winning they need to learn from tonight and convert to islam

Woke 2: From policing microagressions to committing macroagressions

If Jones wins it means he has a mandate to put Republicans in camps. Listen to the voters.

The last face you see before the wet work team black bags your MAGA family

the voters have spoken and they love being trans and threatening to shoot republicans in the head.

Not sure how many Cheney obits will mention this murderous legacy of his.

I’m willing to sacrifice my Thanksgiving vacation to drive down Donald’s approval

Not an exaggeration to say that the media landscape is rapidly contracting towards "3 flavors of regime-approved messaging"

don't have a lot left to say about the Nazi tat discourse other than the general observation that when some say they oppose "moralism" they mean they oppose self-indulgent or otherwise unprincipled appeals to faux-morality and when others say they oppose "moralism" they mean they oppose morals

That's a very low bar. Those most affected by climate change are those who have contributed the least to global CO₂ emissions.

the death total is going to be horrifying by the end of this and it will be an uphill battle for consequences given how much natsec democrats don't want to infringe on their own ability to vaporize 'terrorists' or open questions about their past conduct

"I hope your beeper doesn't go off." A year ago today, a racist tried to make a 'joke' about me being killed by Israel. It was the 1st time I've ever walked off of live TV. That night CNN said they'd ban the racist from their air. But in the year since, I myself haven't been invited back on CNN.

As the single most important news story this year, I can't wait to see the detailed and central coverage this will get in every media outlet we have

Big China electricity&industial data update🧵for September: ➡️Power generation from coal and gas dropped 5%, for a 1.2% fall in the first nine months of the year. ➡️Crude steel production fell by 5% and cement output by 9% in Sep, accelerating from 3% and 5% drops year-to-date.

He heard people say Israel was the most pro-trans place in the Middle East and immediately refused to take their money.
