Class-based affirmative action is dumb because class is not an immutable characteristic and distinctions in outcome based on class are not obviously the result of class-based discrimination.

Also, pets can have equal or more moral value than a human and we should totally not accept police killing people’s pets because “they feel threatened“ in scenarios they create, those cops should be subject to the highest punishment allowed by law as if they killed a human. Fuck ‘em.

Homeschooling is not just bad, it’s outright evil and should be relegated to the dustbin of history. The entire purpose of education in a public setting is socialization. The most important thing kids learn is how to live alongside people who are different from them. Homeschooling can’t do that.

This is the sort of thing I was getting at when I was skeeting at MattY about political moderation earlier today. It doesn’t matter what we do if GOP can define us however they want via complicit media.

I don’t like to share conservative slop but here’s The Federalist literally coming out in favor of child abuse (the article is much worse than the title).

One of the reasons viewpoint diversity is so lacking in academia is that conservatives have spent two decades self-selecting out of academic careers, because they view college education as hostile to their beliefs, which requires the believer to be stupid. That’s kind of a them problem.

This is it. Top 5 post of the year.

The obvious counterargument in favor of building the Trump-Russia tunnel, from a liberal perspective, is how fun are nuclear depth charges? That’s rhetorical, they’re super fun!

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Happy John Brown’s Raid day to all who celebrate

I can’t get over the fact that the Federalist has a writer who, historically, defends child sex abuse under color of law who is named Peddy Scary, that’s really too on the nose.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 fat lazy fucks

The Corrections, by Franzen, is the worst book ever written by a wide margin.

Couple thoughts: 1. State governments have a pretty good idea as to who works for ICE because they pay taxes and the state collects tax information. It may be a bit noisy, but identification is possible. 2. Given this, Dem AGs can target ICE employees for prosecution for crimes unrelated to ICE.

”People with families don’t want to live in cities” is sus and there’s a chart to back it up

Peter Thiel is an Epstein-linked alleged pedophile foreigner who is actively working to undermine American elections with Palantir and Polymarket. He is an enemy of the American people who should be stripped of his citizenship and deported to CECOT.

Me: Hi mom how are you My mom: not great they found a dead body in the house Me: I have some questions but I have zero desire to ask them I’ll call you in a few days love you bye So how is everyone else’s Friday going?

Family says Border Patrol agents shot and killed their dog after being given permission to search the house for undocumented immigrants. kfoxtv.com/news/local/e...

In the federalist: “Latin-mass-attending Catholic families” The appropriate term is “heretics engaged in schism.”

ICYMI: "We need a tough guy, they say, because the Democrats are so dangerous. But now they find themselves defending Trump against the one sin that has given their movement its chief moral stature: child abuse." That was an easy about-face.

So that free press article about cops being pissy about Mamdani? Inject that shit straight into my veins, I need to mainline that. Oh my god that’s exactly what I want the police to feel. We need to do that systematically, and apparently all it takes is voting Dem these days. Holy hell.

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

The SLED chief who is claiming the judge’s house burning down isn’t arson is a corrupt MAGAt who is collecting retirement benefits while still employed; in other words, not trustworthy.

this is the jacket's breast pocket lining pulled up to make it look like a pocket square

I guess the president is rushing to send troops into blue cities because his friends in Congress can't stonewall the release of the Epstein Files forever.

curtis yarvin seems somewhat unhappy

I’ve never watched TMNJ or Ghostbusters.

I enjoyed the Oscar-winning animated film FLOW- and because of the cat character in it, adoptions of black cats are on the rise. In my forthcoming book, I write a lot about the love I've shared with black cats in my life. #cats #adoptdontshop #pets #animals #movies

Two more deadly shootings in York. This is the legacy of AG Sunday and his hand-picked, radical MAGA successor, who is too busy weaponizing law enforcement against migrants to actually enforce the law. Governor Shapiro most mobilize and deploy the national guard, and bring order to YCPA.

These people hate our country. They hate Americans and have declared war on our constitution and freedoms. They should repent and resign

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

We looked back on the "backlash" against American Eagle ads featuring Sydney Sweeney and her "great jeans." Right-wing media declared that liberals were outraged and thought the ads were racist -- even the White House joined in. If you thought that story reeked, you'll want to see what we found.

Stephen Miller makes a persuasive argument that Stephen Miller is a terrorist. www.emptywheel.net/2025/10/02/s...

On HotAir, an author named after a sex act is calling for violence against Hillary Clinton.

I’m pretty sure Shadow President Miller has no real power or authority and that a blue state can just arrest him at any point if they want.

That Pete Hegseth Speech Could’ve Been A Spam Email For Boner Pills Oh my fucking god www.wonkette.com/p/that-pete-...

Erika Kirk Healed as Fast as Donald Trump's Ear open.substack.com/pub/themouth...

At what point can we say no decent people remain in the military? At a certain point, if you aren’t resigning, you’re the problem. We’re past that point.

Another disgruntled, privileged White guy. Sense a pattern, yet?

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

That Harrison Butker Missed Kick of the Week is brought to you by PragerU

So I’m going through York County’s election results to try to determine who Matthew Ruth voted for (hes registered as a libertarian but I’m thinking he’s MAGA due to being in Hanover) and someone really likes Todd Platts and wrote him in for every office. Someone else wrote him in for Senate too.

It strikes me that if you drug test ICE (and most law enforcement agencies) using a comprehensive 26-panel drug test, and criminally charge any who fail with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, you’d effectively gut those agencies overnight given widespread abuse of anabolic steroids.

this is great - note that there's still police, but they're now part of a larger, county-wide department. the extreme localism of US policing is a *huge* part of its corruption, especially when you get to stuff like sheriff's departments.

NEW: Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon are all named in Epstein docs released today by Democrats

When the president deputizes right wing thugs their violence is no longer classified as terrorism. So of course it looks like left wing violence is increasing. Extralegal right wing violence is now just policy. ICE is shooting pepper balls and kidnapping people as I type this.
