RNC Research unwittingly tells the truth in its pursuit of smearing Rep. Ilhan Omar.

Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks has lost his bearings, possibly due to the company he now keeps.

This is so true and has been for 10 years. Stop taking him on one at a time and join together to do it en masse. You’ll all be better off and so will the country.

Really, the problem is the system that allows for billionaire status, not the people. (Such are the foibles of the English language.)

Palestine Action is not a terrorist organisation and the Home Sec was wrong to proscribe it, says High Court in embarrassing ruling for govt by three senior judges bit.ly/3OgfsKf Court will announce what happens next on 20th. Govt says it will appeal.

BREAKING: In accordance with US law, Pam Bondi must now investigate paedophiles as the Dow Jones has dropped below 50,000 👀

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

Mike Lee is a jackass. 1. Intimidation is A Thing. 2. Past behavior predicts future behavior. We know how ICE has acted so far.

The Republican Party:

10 dead in a town of ~ 2000. Devastating.

I don't know about you, but I would never answer this question (or others like it) on a public forum. Data scrapes succeed because questions like this play to people's sense of self and their desire to connect.

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note: Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

Why is DOJ tracking what members of Congress are searching for in the Epstein files? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Stop calling these agents law enforcement. They are no such thing. These are terror squads.

New to the concept of cognitive warfare? Check out this primer, which covers many of the bases (albeit in a pat fashion). One thing vital to grasp: these exploits — many of which are cognitive biases or propaganda techniques — mirror those found to operate in cults. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Emku...

this is a level of complicity that had not occurred to me

Maria Reesa understands narrative warfare. She lived through it under Duterte's dictatorship in the Phillipines. She now sounds the alarm for how this rending of reality affects the United States under Trump. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFdf... 🧵

in fact you do not have to show your ID when you board a train in the united states, you only need to show your ticket (which can be purchased without an ID)

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist. Cool. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies. It was a "sideshow," I was told.

now that's the power of a union

“.. He’s got a lot to answer for, but really, he should make life easier on the president, frankly, and just resign.” @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2026/02/08/e...

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

In Britain, Sir Keir Starmer is teetering. He may or may not survive, having unwisely believed an incorrigible liar's account of his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. There are no photos of Starmer like this below. No smoking gun. Yet in the US, #Trump sails blithely on, apparently untouchable. Why?

This is true. And all the more striking because we *barely* integrated. Most organizations remain highly segregated but even minor integration was too much for some folks.

This is why I get nearly all US news from foreign sources, at least as a starting point. Domestic news is too warped, generally speaking, to use as one's first impression.

Apropos of nothing: ever notice that this man wears blackface all the time?

If Schumer bends to this extortion (especially at this point when Trump is at the lowest political power of his term), he should not expect to keep his job, not even in the short term. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

Trump now posting racist memes to distract from Epstein.

Trump reportedly told Sen Schumer he’d release federal funds if Penn Station and Dulles airport were named after him. This is a crime. NY, VA? www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

This gaslighting serves as marching orders/talking points for the influencers downstream as to how to respond when someone accurately points out the putrid racism. "It's just from the Lion King. Can't you take a joke?" Matt Walsh, Benny Johnson, Tim Pool, maybe even Ben Shapiro will roll this out.

It’s so bad even Tim Scott isn’t afraid to criticize it.

Kaitlan Collins: “Tulsi Gabbard’s hunt for the president's long sought but never found evidence of widespread voter fraud now extends beyond the state of Georgia— When it comes to who exactly asked Gabbard to be there, the level of finger pointing has almost taken on a SpideMan meme-like quality”

The South Carolina measles outbreak has triggered rare but serious brain swelling in some children

It's almost stunning how Epstein single handedly makes the reformed centrists drop everything they're doing to become as weird as humanly possible

A load-bearing beam in cults as well as totalitarianism is informational control.

DHS should be abolished. Visiting high schools where people vote has nothing to do with its mandate.Suppressing the vote improves the security of no one. www.daytondailynews.com/local/homela...

Here’s an experiment for y’all with the kiddos. Always science

All 6 Palestine Action activists in the Elbit Systems break-in have been found not guilty on all charges. This action was one of the main 'reasons' the govt. proscribed PA as a terrorist organisation. Nearly 3000 people have been arrested for showing support. There must be pardons and compensation.

So we're basically experiencing the metoo of pedophilia and it's being handled just as poorly
