This man is responsible for a Trump presidency. He is one of the most effective fascists the U.S. has had in power.

Ayn Rand's 'philosophy' is nearly perfect in its immorality, which makes the size of her audience all the more ominous and symptomatic as we enter a curious new phase in our society.... To justify and extol human greed and egotism is to my mind not only immoral, but evil. Gore Vidal

A reminder that over a year ago David Frum went on a months long tantrum about how Canadian colonization was actually good for the First Peoples and how it's reverse racism to say that that the forced Christian schooling was genocide. I made fun of him for this and he blocked me on 3 different apps.

I've said it before, but the big dividing line on this issue isn't Zionist/anti-Zionist or One State/Two State or Jewish/Gentile, it's people who think ending the Occupation is a moral imperative and people who think it's an acceptable status quo.

Get their asses!

10/10 no notes. God I love NYRB Classics.

I literally laughed so hard I cried watching this.

Prediction markets as a social cancer. I was happy to have @jathansadowski.com back on the show to discuss everything that’s wrong with them and why we need to get serious about outlawing them again.

AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

it would be an obvious political dead end for fetterman to switch parties but I could see him do it because he's so stupid

What Ben Gvir did to those trying to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza is entirely the face of the Israeli regime, it was just unadorned with the PR mask they like to present to the rest of the world, so certain governments can carry on sending them arms with plausible deniability.

This is actually boring at this point. We all have to live in hell because a majority of White Americans prefer hell to a multiracial democracy. Until a large enough percentage of them change their minds on this, hell will continue

A retired doctor. A self-proclaimed burger lover. Two calves rescued from the dairy industry. 72 hours on the road together changed something he didn’t expect to change. “You could make me vegan.” He said it to a calf. And he meant it. 🎥 Full documentary: “Cow Trip”

Congratulations to the Walter Cup Champion Montréal Victoire! 🏆 And to every Professional Women’s Hockey League Players Association member: Thank you for your talent, passion, and commitment to our game. You make us proud. 👏

Trump and Musk’s profoundly evil decision to cut off U.S. aid is now making an Ebola outbreak in the DRC much worse. The world will live to regret the cruelty and stupidity of Trump, Musk, their flunkies, and the scumbags and fools in the U.S. who voted them in.

Horrific to think what happens when there are no cameras.

Canadian prime minster Mark Carney is not the climate guy you thought. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I guess Andy Ngo wasn't able to spin this as a "trantifa" shooting so he's just going with "they took out some terrorists." A shooting is either good or bad depending on how it helps the White Christian Nationalist MAGA playbook.

“You’re talking about peanuts” is so revealing. He is robbing us blind.

Fresh new American dystopia headline just dropped www.thegamer.com/grammacracke...

Journalism now is a video of a slack-jawed pundit watching another video 👍

Real question: the fuck do you guys think the word meant before

Costco really understands America rn

Not only did two neo nazi teens attempt to copycat the Christchurch mass shooting, the world's richest man falsely blamed trans people for it. Not a single outlet covered that he spread that disinformation.

They're recruiting white nationalists and segregationists into the country, in case you were wondering if Republican claims that Democrats replace voters with immigrants was also world-class projection.

French and Italian foreign ministers bitching and crying about Ben Gvir one and a half weeks after siding with Germany in blocking EU sanctions on Ben Gvir. Sorry but I don't care. They are just as bad as Israel because they are Israel's lawyers.

President Trump has announced nearly $20 billion in weapons deliveries to Israel since taking office. His Iran war for Israel’s benefit has cost US taxpayers another $50 billion on top of $300+ per American in higher gas prices.

hard to exaggerate how heroic these men were. they likely saved dozens of children's lives. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

1/ This = how antiblackness, particularly anti-Black female bigotry--aka misogynoir--works. Remember, Helen of Troy was so beautiful that she started a whole war. Having a Black woman cast in such a role makes folks crash out b/c Black women are stereotyped as ugly & strong, unworthy of protection.

For as left wing as Bluesky is I think a lot of people remain weirdly disconnected from the fact that "Israel has committed genocide" is as close to a consensus position among actually existing Democratic voters as possible

Support @theredoubt.net! Great journalism is out there but you need to support it.

The Israeli regime is assaulting and humiliating the international activists who were on the latest flotilla

Last year, Sen. Mark Warner suggested the American military would "save us" from Trump. But it has now murdered ~200 civilians in lawless strikes. Like other U.S. institutions, it has failed the test of whether it would defy a corrupt and amoral regime. www.theredoubt.net/the-us-milit...

ChatGPT was never Google’s biggest threat; it was always its own hubris. With Search now being sacrificed on the altar of AI dominance, the time has come for users to get serious about moving off Google services. It’s not only destroying its products; it’s trying to further degrade the web itself.

Not only is Trump the most corrupt president in U.S. history, you could make a persuasive case that about a dozen things he has done this term would earn him that title even if he’d done nothing else. And we’ve learned about two of those things just in the past week.

The Fight to Free Hundreds of Beagles From a Rural Wisconsin Research Lab In ‘open rescue,’ activists strike breeder Ridglan Farms in daylight, courting arrest and setting up a tear-gas-fueled clash before a deal to rehome 1,500 dogs www.wsj.com/us-news/the-...

Beagles are chosen for animal experimentation due to their natural trusting and docile nature. They are kept in crates and never even get to feel the grass beneath their paws. It must end. Welcome home Louie ❤️

the difference between Jeffries and Schumer is that Jeffries is a Democrat for reasons that may not be exactly the same reasons you and I have for being Democrats but are clearly intelligible and logical, whereas Schumer is a Democrat for a pair of racist Irish Long Island tulpas and sometimes Likud

The most progressive candidate won the most progressive district in the country as God intended

The far right obsession with killing and eating as many animals as possible needs to be studied. All part of the ‘war on empathy’ I guess. Republicans are confusingly lambasting US Senate candidate James Talarico as vegan for ordering a taco with eggs and cheese. vegnews.com/trump-talari...

No shit

What pivot? He hates Israel because he hates Jews. He gives not one fuck about the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

Consistent humanism means opposing the genocide in Gaza, AND antisemitism. It means opposing the US/Israeli invasion of Iran AND the Iranian regime's murder of its own people. It means opposing the US/UK invasion of Iraq AND the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It means confronting violence everywhere.

It is not a public service to remain on X and try to “own” Nazis who really benefit the most from your negative engagement with them. You keep them relevant. You keep their audience engaged. You do not change hearts and minds by fighting on X.
