Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

It's disturbing as fuck to watch MAGA men rationalize and excuse their pedophile führer for fucking children. 😳👇

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Clarification hardly needed.

Conservatives see all children as property and the Wrong People's children as contraband

LOUISIANA: ICE officer pleads guilty to sexually abusing Nicaraguan detainee for Months “while she was under his authority”

New: We got an internal ICE document revealing its $100 million ad plan to bring in 14,000 new hires: deals with "tactical" influencers; ads to gun & military buffs; and geo-targeting phones around NASCAR races and gun shows. A "wartime recruitment" mode with paramilitary branding: wapo.st/44QrP5j

Sarah Cooper is back. 👏

Hey so this seems like something more people should be talking about 🤔 🗳️ www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

The ACA saved my life. ♥️ Just taking a moment to remember how it all went down thanks to Barack, Joe and the Democrats. As millions of Americans are about to lose their healthcare thanks to Republicans, don't forget these same politicians will cont to get their primo government funded insurance.

Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

AOC: "It's not just that Trump is corrupt. It's that everyone participating in this is corrupt. Elon is corrupt. Jeff Bezos is corrupt. Mark Zuckerberg is corrupt."

A reminder: Russia doesn’t want/need Donbas; it isn’t historically/ethnically special. Ru wants all of Ukraine. Receiving the heavily fortified Donbas towns it couldn’t conquer for 11+ yrs on a silver platter from Trump would allow Ru an easier 2nd march on Kyiv. That’s what Pu is focusing on now.

Via NPR ~ Hundreds of celebrities have relaunched a committee to defend free speech that was first formed during the post-World War II Red Scare. It’s spearheaded Jane Fonda, whose father, Henry Fonda, stood against the Hollywood blacklists of the McCarthy era.⁠ ⁠

The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech. If that sounds insane to you, congratulations on your reading comprehension.

This message hits hard.

One of the worst things that we've done as a society is push the idea that all viewpoints are valid and up for debate. This is legit why so many people think those bullshit jubilee debates are a form of education and not just a way to socially manipulate people into being open to fascism.

Freaking love this city and all the people in it so much….a bunch of people went and turned the 4 train into the Polar Express giving out toys to kids along the way from the Bronx to Brooklyn….shoutout to the @newyorkers.live account on IG for doing this 🙏 www.instagram.com/reel/DSnsvWS...

i have spent time with bari weiss, who used to date my former roommate and who i am in an alumni program with, and i feel comfortable saying she is both stupid and evil

This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.

Fun Fact: Donald Trump has sued over 3,000 people in his life, but he's never sued anybody for calling him a pedophile.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Reminder that we are a year into aggressive ICE raids and concentration camps, and there’s not a single example of local cops protecting people against this violence, kidnapping, or death.

Why aren't Democrat voters screaming mad about the fraud? It's not just Republicans money they're wasting and stealing, it's YOUR money too. Everyone should be demanding accountability from every social program and NGO. We are being SCAMMED.

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-...

"Get the principals on camera" is such a telling phrase here, because it tells us that for Weiss there's no world in which the victims of these horrific actions can actually be seen as the subjects of the story: They're background noise, and the people who matter are the ones sending them.

Honestly sick of people telling me they "have to" stay on X "for the reach." "It's where the people I need to reach are." No, it's not. You can bring them here. "The people I want to follow are there." You can bring them here too. Lots of other people have. You can too.

INSTITUTIONAL FAILURE This could’ve been avoided 30 years ago. Maria Farmer’s 1996 FBI complaint has been unearthed in the Epstein files. It was the first time he was reported to the authorities. And they buried it. “If the FBI had listened to me in 1996, there would’ve been no more victims.”

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Since I’m getting “what did I miss” from alot, Paramount Plus, owner of CBS spiked the El Salvador CECOT prison story yesterday on 60 minutes because it made the White House look bad. Cancel paramount plus Censorship. Bari Weiss

CBS News(max) is officially cooked. Bari Weiss killed a whole-ass network.

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

#GVerse SNL completely DESTROYED #Shit4Brains for hiding the Epstein files. This is amazing. Check it out!

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head. That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I truly hate organized religion. It is one of two things on this earth I can honestly say I fucking hate.

Absolute bullshyt.

Donors from around the world raised $2.5 million to support Ahmed Al-Ahmad, the hero who neutralized one of the terrorists in the Bondi Beach terrorist attack

Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible. But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas. If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

Anti-abortion activists in the US have created a new chatbot to dissuade people from abortion using misinformation and deception - the two main strategies of "crisis pregnancy centres." This is basically a digital CPC designed to reach many more people.

"We here at Bank of America remember a time when a woman couldn't get a credit card without her husband's approval. Wouldn't that be fun again?"

👇🏽 🎯

What's wild to me is that this comes from City Journal, the main publication of the Manhattan Institute, a quite right-wing think tank. Which is to say: if these (often horrific) responses are cherry-picked, the group doing the picking has an incentive to make them look as GOOD as possible.

A US president who has kinder words for Vladimir Putin than Rob Reiner is a disgrace to his country.

Think about this. Did you hear trans panic headlines in the 2000s? No. Conservatives weren’t “worried” about trans people until the day they lost on Marriage Equality. Once they realized most of us are just fine with gay marriage, they needed a new wedge issue and started attacking trans people.

“They’re denying that any of her birth certificates, which are from Laurel, Maryland, her records of immunization, medical records — they’re denying the authenticity of them. It is something I’ve never encountered.” www.huffpost.com/entry/us-cit...
