26,000 YouTube views for Sinclair’s Charlie Kirk tribute special. Just for comparison, Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue on any average Wednesday will get between two and four MILLION YouTube views. Right wing culture is fringe stuff. It is not American culture by any stretch.

Albert Jesús Rodríguez Parra was one of more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants the Trump administration sent to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. After his release, he says he wants the world to know what happened to him. By @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social

Intelligence report leaked to me warns of "trans militant cult," a framing echoed by Vice President JD Vance. The new "terror" obsession is here: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/white-hous...

"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

Charlie Kirk Sept 27 2024: "Just so we're clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it's only gonna get worse - unless Donald Trump wins There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters"

Canadians don't have rights. We have privileges that can be revoked at the drop of a hat by rightwing perverts who are obsessed with the genitals of children.

the republican line to open corruption in the government is “WE DON’T CARE” lmfao

The one surefire way to get people to stop saying mean things about you is to send out a press release, insisting that they stop saying mean things about you. www.dhs.gov/news/2025/09...

New: The federal probe of Charlie Kirk’s killing has yet to find a link between Tyler Robinson & LW groups, per 3 sources familiar “Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive” www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Dems ought to be telling people now these letters are worth absolutely nothing.

i've invented another way out other than through. i call it "under"

I spoke with students across Alabama who considered Charlie Kirk to be a mentor and role model. I asked them what they think should happen next. www.al.com/educationlab...

Alarming reports that the Trump admin is trying to silence history at the National Park at Harper’s Ferry—where abolitionist John Brown led a raid seeking to arm slaves for a revolt. Signs being targeted include those that refer to “racial discrimination.” archive.is/gGV2d

Doesn’t get any clearer than this. We either have a First Amendment and Constitution and free society or we don’t.

This authoritarian vision of the relationship between the press and the public genealogically descends from the fascist conspiracy theory that "the Jewish controlled press" brainwashed the US public into supporting the New Deal, then the civil rights movement, then tolerating gay people, etc.

The FBI is preparing to label transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readie...

“FBI agents reassigned to round up immigrants have had to walk away from investigations into violent predators who target and exploit children online, MSNBC has learned.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

I appreciate all the local reporters focusing on just how awful the prisons holding immigrants throughout their state are and have always been www.inquirer.com/news/ice-imm...

it was always going to be very stupid

The Trump-Miller administration's single-minded focus on migration is starting to impact the availability of drugs in the US, according to this detail from a very good investigation @wsj.com published today. www.wsj.com/world/americ...

This is panic. The Bondi hate speech stuff is panic. They realize people are really, really angry. And that sometimes angry people get angry enough to wage violence against elites. So they are trying to make being angry at them illegal, now

Charlie Kirk trafficked in conspiracy theories. In death, he became the main character in the ultimate one, spun by the White House. It’s a tactic I imagine Kirk would have approved of. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/c...

The right will use this murder as justification to clamp down on LGBTQ rights but it's a jarring series of events in the charging indictment. White conservative kid brain poisoned by the internet turns the rage he was supposed to have for minorities into a target thet had not counted on: themselves

were rich foreign tourists in Sarajevo’s Sniper Alley, paying to hunt “human game” for thrills in the midst of the Yugoslav Wars? www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-9n...

New Tyler Robinson posts leaked to me tell a very different story than you've heard before: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

once again, the NYT readerbase is Not Buying It from Ezra Klein. rarely do I see a comment section so poised so vehemently against an op-ed — especially not one from a liberal. Sorry Ezra

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

This should be the opening quote to The Big Short 2

Started digging into that charliesmurderers .com site. The name stuck out because it followed similar schema to the ones we got removed this weekend. Decided to take a closer look at its infrastructure. What followed was a pivot trail that led to a live C2 network.

"“For weeks, my inbox and voicemail were deluged. Mostly white men spat venom through the phone: ‘bitch,’ ‘c*nt,’ ‘n****r.’ They threatened all manner of violence,” Patton described. “They overwhelmed the university’s PR lines and the president’s office 1/2

From an Atlantic editor. I cannot get over how the entire centrist hivemind is attempting to wish into existence a person, and a movement, that does not exist. You are journalists, you are supposed to describe things as they are, not how you want them to be!

Anyone wanting actually-gets-this-shit type analysis of the internet-side of this situation, I recommend this and his new podcast episode ... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Wrote about the week. How the shooter's ID didn't appear to matter to ppl. How the discourse takes place in very same spaces that incubate/perpetuate hate & violence. How shooters now know that their acts will be flattened, analyzed, argued over & amplified. How all of this feels so dark & poisonous

"We have to cancel kristallnacht 2.0 because the guy was one of the people we were grooming to take part in it" is a heck of a twist to be sure

Absolutely psychotic to publish this www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/o...

hypothesis: the delusional response to the charlie kirk murder is partially explained by the fact that it fundamentally calls into question the hyperreality the right wing is trying to build.

Oop.

Really thought that last banksy was going to work

Someone just sent me a bunch of examples of these. Apparently the site is flooded with them. There's gotta be a story behind all of these.
