“In my experience, every kind of writing requires some kind of self-soothing Jedi mind trick, and, when it comes to essay composition, this rectangle is mine.” Zadie Smith shares the blueprint she uses to write impersonal essays.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

I shan’t say his name ever.

"Three students are in critical condition and were being taken to St. Anthony Hospital, a hospital spokesperson confirmed to ABC News. A fourth student was also transported, but with an unknown injury."

Charlie Kirk wasn't killed by political violence. Charlie Kirk was killed by *gun* violence.

We gave healthcare CEOs tax breaks. They bought yachts while denying cancer patients treatment. We gave healthcare corporations tax breaks. Shareholder profits boomed while families were forced to choose between insulin and rent. What are we doing here?

i cannot believe they are expecting us to play along with this "might not be his signature" farce and that a lot of people actually are, i feel like ive lost my goddam mind

Oh Goody! Haha! 😅 E. Jean Carroll wins again against the sleazbag squatting in the WH. Pay Up! 😅💙 www.newser.com/story/374829...

A revolution sweeping the country, government officials in Nepal were evacuated by military helicopters after protesters set fire to the homes of the country's president, the current prime minister & a former prime minister. Events continue to escalate rapidly protesters seeking to change the regime

Harvard can't use someone's race to decide if they are going to be a student, but ICE can use a student's race to decide if they are going to detain/incarcerate them. According to the Supreme Court, race can only be a factor if you want hurt, not help, someone.

Speaker Mike Johnson's wife has made a career out of "helping" gay men who are shamed by their religion to "stop" being gay . . . if you ever wonder how they met.

They’re claiming the signature isn’t real but I’m going to remind everyone that 11000+ photographs and videos were removed from Epstein’s properties by the FBI and this is the tip of the fcking iceberg. And I think everyone in the GOP knows it.

I think if I — as a goof — alluded to my friend being a pedophile in their birthday card, it would probably ruin the mood at the party

He brought Kennedy on board to debase the family. Same reason he paved over Jackie’s Rose Garden and gutted the Kennedy Center. RFK Jr goes along because he and former his law firm stand to make millions from suing over vaccines.

Here's a breakdown for those who are confused about Tariffs.

It's about killing the poor. It's about killing anyone who isn't rich. It's about making them suffer and putting them under heel. Eventually people will realize this and react, but right now, creature comforts while boiling in the pot is the thing. Eventually when the fascists have consolidated...

Wikipedia says the phrase "Your papers, please" is "a cultural metaphor for life in a police state." It's what the U.S. Supreme Court endorsed today: arbitrary stops of people without probable cause.

BREAKING: In Chicago, Illinois—U.S. citizens protesting ICE were dragged into vans by masked federal agents with no badges and no warrants. People screamed: “Who are you? Where are you taking them?” This is authoritarian control in real time.

Squirrel Break!

Riddle me this: What’s the difference between a white crypto billionaire sentenced to life in prison for running a world-wide marketplace for heroin, cocaine, and other deadly/illicit products, and eleven Venezuelans in a speedboat? (Gift article, no paywall). www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/t...

Former West Point cadet here. The Sylvanus Thayer Award is a big deal. It's one of the biggest days on the Academy's calendar. I can't emphasize enough that the ceremony and dinner for Tom Hanks being cancelled is pretty insane. charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/trump-like...

Draft-dodging coward posts A.I. image of himself in Vietnam.

If you want to get your sea legs on mutual aid, one thing you can do is throw a 24 pack of water and some individually packaged nonperishable snacks in your trunk and just keep your eyes open. Pulling over and offering water to a person in distress can be a much bigger help than you realize.

Trump hosted over a dozen Big Tech CEOs at the White House last night. The group's wealth sits above $350 BILLION. The CEOs spent the evening thanking Trump for giving them handouts. And thousands of families had to decide between rent, healthcare, and groceries last night.

just an ongoing embarrassment that this barely sentient meathead is secretary of defense

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do to stop my simpleminded nephew from destroying your country."

Mike Johnson Says Trump Took Epstein Rumors Seriously, Served As FBI Informant. That’s like Dahmer saying he was actually an undercover agent for Food and Drug Administration.

Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.

The most educated states are figuring out how to work around RFKJr’s psychopathic vaccine plans. The educated part is probably just a coincidence. #FireRFKJr

I have to wonder how he sleeps at night knowing that he could have chosen on countless occasions to not bend the knee. And no matter how much money he's been paid for his actions, the reality is that this is the country he is leaving to his daughters because is a coward.

Happy Friday!

You're either on the side of Epstein, Maxwell, and Donald Trump, along with lies, cover-ups, sex traffickers, and abusers. OR You back survivors, truth, accountability, and WANT TO RELEASE ALL OF THE EPSTEIN FILES. This isn't hard. It's one or the other. You cannot be both.

Stop saying he’s doing things that only Congress can do!!!!
