checked with the professionals and the only response to this is "run anti-abortion candidates"

the biden administration suspecting and proving that homan would take a bribe and then being unprepared to take the next step and just letting him walk away with $50k for doing nothing is so on the nose it just doesnt feel real

Elites would rather burn their countries to the ground than allow the masses to make one of their own face consequences for anything. Universally true

It's particularly the case among the Americans who are paid to decide which news is important, and who despite everything still can't bring themselves to accurately describe the fact that the president is serially murdering people and our systems are unable to stop him

The Administration has argued that its policies are good for families and the economy, but ending data collection on whether families can afford food suggests they are far from confident.

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Truly astounding who steps up and who doesn't

at some point israel realized they could kill up to about 100 (known) people per day without anyone who mattered pretending to care, and that is what they have been doing in the "not a genocide, it is blood libel to say so" for almost 2 years

An article about at PWS last week about how fishy this whole thing is www.piratewireservices.com/p/us-claims-...

The answer is that Trump is trying to provoke a war.

I feel Russian psyops are one of those things that are going to be studied for decades for how effective they've been. Despite a much smaller GDP, military spending, political stability, and lack of international trust, they've managed to outperform basically all of Western psychological defense.

How many deported or detained immigrants have "two beautiful children"? And why are we never called upon to empathize with them and their children in the way we are being asked to think of Kirk's family?

every journalist knows they are packaging the entire Charlie Kirk story dishonestly, and they all think it is incredibly rude to point that out

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

Govt minister Hamish Falconer explains that the Palestinian state should have no army or air force. So it can't defend itself. The Labour govt is fond of saying the first duty of any govt is to defend its own people. Why doesn't that apply to Palestinians?

Did Trump win in November because he showed grace and empathy to people who voted for Joe Biden in 2020? Politics is not an Afterschool Special. You put out a strong message about what's wrong, propose a compelling policy agenda, hope the economy cooperates and that's it. None of this mush.

And that's a wrap! Thank you very much to everyone that has showed up. Viewes, staff, runners, restreams. You have made this edition of BBG special! We'll see you next time on... BBG 10! (ohgod 10 already???)

basic purity tests are good, actually, and anyone that suggests sacrificing people’s rights to gain power is not interested in using that power to benefit anyone but themselves. they are as much of an enemy as stephen fucking miller

This story has been updated to reflect that these rumors are not true. So let’s make them real. See y’all Friday morning at 1930 Beach Street!

i think one thing people have a hard time grasping is that the central figures of the trump administration are not bad as in "the worst republican blowhard you know," but bad as in "the worst people you have ever heard of." donald trump is a serial rapist whose best friend was a pedophile.

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

there's always a John Waters quote, it seems

Last month, I wrote about Angel Minguela Palacios, who was arrested by Border Patrol while delivering strawberries. On Thursday, I was with his partner and their three kids when they welcomed him home after he spent more than a month in ICE detention www.latimes.com/california/s...

ARRESTED FOR SITTING www.blackenterprise.com/alex-okeefe-...

he is trying to ensure that there aren't Black soldiers because he thinks they won't massacre protests

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

incidentally adobe is now trying to convince people that acrobat's llm can read a legal contract for you and give you insights. please don't trust a computer with a contract. imagine what the worst thing related to that contract could be, then ask if you want to spend less on a lawyer to avoid it.

BTW, what I saw in Israel that made me question everything: -Guns EVERYWHERE in Jerusalem -Being escorted by an armed guard out of the Western Wall tour -Land mines on the side of the highways -Cultural homogeneity -Kids at a national park escorted by soldiers w/assault rifles This is NOT normal.

LRT: Jimmy Carter wrote a book called Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid in 2006. It's not a perfect book (I've read it) but calling the apartheid what it is gave me language as a 14-year-old to understand what I had seen firsthand when I visited Israel in December 2005. He was absolutely correct.

This week we're comparing Akira Kurosawa's HIGH AND LOW with Spike Lee's reimagining HIGHEST 2 LOWEST. The new film tells the same story, plus a lot of modern wrinkles and familiar Lee touches, and a battle-rap the original is notably missing. cms.megaphone.fm/channel/FLM2...

A short 🧵 so everyone can learn that political violence is nothing new in America. Of the 1,331 Black officials who served during Reconstruction, 158 (10.4%) were subjected to political violence. 1/7

you come to me, on this, the 21st night of september, and you ask me if i remember

A report in HuffPo says ICE is evacuating a DHS facility it was using outside of Chicago for its operations. Protests and direct action once again drive Trump out of #Chicago. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-ev...

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

lol reading the canadian recognition and how it lists issues on both sides but then demands hamas is wiped out/all the hostages are returned/the PA gets to govern, and not for israel to do anything about its problems like the expulsion of the 750k settlers in what would be said palestinian state

An Irish woman vs neo-Nazi Berlin cops.

Covid is gonna shape American politics for years and years because it was the first time most Americans were asked to make sacrifices and they lost their minds because of it.

Repost anything except anymore news pieces about genocidal countries recognizing Palestine while helping to ethnically cleanse it. Please. We can't take it anymore.

the fact they're out here running "abigail spanberger will trans your kids" against one of the most conservative candidates out of the Democratic Party is a great example of why actually standing up for trans people, especially kids, is the only way to go

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

Remember both that this was always the goal and that this plan was enacted by the Democratic Party because Israeli propaganda was being dismantled as quickly as they were putting it out.

The country is being well and truly and royally fucked by a bunch of hucksters and everyone responsible for communicating that to the public is incentivised, in one way or another, for one reason or another, to not speak that obvious truth out loud. And I will stand by that analysis on my ten toes.

Israel killed three of these four children in a drone strike targeting their car and an accompanying scooter in Bint Jbeil, southern Lebanon. The entire family of six was hit – only the mother and eldest daughter survived, one of them critically injured and hospitalized.

Thinking that republicans in DC will ever abandon Trump is no different than believing in Santa Claus.

"we can't win elections as long as people are jerks to.. um... nate silver"

"oh no we are losing because random people on bluesky are mean to republicans"
