These men are fragile losers, but it's also instructive because MAGA is now full on white nationalism. We're seeing an intersection of white Christian nationalists, white nationalists, and neo-Nazis. All wanting power and dominance. Hoods are off. Don't sleep on this.

Seems legit...

I often think about Zohran Mamdani saying “to get to any of us, you’re gonna have to go through all of us.”

By rejecting the distinction between Palestinian statehood and anti-Semitic violence, Israel's right-wing supporters are erasing the path to coexistence. @saletan.bsky.social on the cynical misuse of the Bondi Beach attack: lnk.thebulwark.com/4rWMyxY

Again, anti-wokeness is a backlash to integration of white collar work. Only white men are allowed to have prestigious jobs otherwise it's unfair bsky.app/profile/mike...

A large CBP presence is back in Chicago this morning, with sightings and arrests reported across the southwest side and Cicero. Bovino is also here.

getting more and more clear that the WH has nothing left to offer on econ policy except zero sum lebensraum posting

Huh. Turns out that Greg Bovino isn't terrified of Chicago's winters after all. blockclubchicago.org/2025/12/16/b...

This is the war on Christmas - it could be a tweet from Herod’s ministry of war. This is the sort of blasphemy that ought to enrage Christians everywhere. Jesus’ birth story is of a family forced to leave their home due to an authoritarian ruler and political violence. The context is right there.

Q: “President Trump last week gave his economy a grade of A ++++. What grade would you give the economy today?” Vance: “A+++.”

The administration is entirely post-truth.

Love going to rural antique stores.

“Antiochus, it might be worth noting, was said to be a lavishly spending narcissist who installed unqualified cronies in high positions... By early in his reign he'd curtailed civil liberties, restricted religious freedom and pillaged his subjects’ resources for his own profit. Huh.” Read this!

COMPLAINT: @aclum.bsky.social alleges that — after ICE agents pulled over their client, his wife, and their 1 y.o. child — an unknown agent applied a carotid restraint until their client lost consciousness. www.aclum.org/cases/zapata...

CNN has suddenly discovered Tennessee's Patriot Front compound that was a subject of an extensive NewsChannel 5 investigation back in March. Here is my report: 1/ www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

The unemployment rate for Black workers soared to 8.3% in November. That's more than double the rate for white workers.

I'm having trouble finding the "America Mourns Rob and Michelle Reiner" piece from the NY Times Editorial Board.

Russia has 400,000 troops in Belarus ready to attack Europe when given the order. Anyone publicly stating they won’t fight Russia, encouraging others to reject defending their nation, or claiming that the danger is overblown is your enemy and working on behalf of the invader.

Judge Breyer's order to end Trump's National Guard deployment in Los Angeles became effective yesterday, after his roughly weeklong stay of his order lapsed. (corrected post) 🔽

Hilarious. The WH had all the Cabinet members simultaneously put out statements supporting Susie Wiles after the Vanity Fair article came out.

Russia poses a real and present threat; this isn’t a matter of beliefs or political opinion. It is a material reality.

Mick Foley has parted ways from the WWE because of their close ties with Trump.

Congrats to Pudge who got to walk with the Class of 2025!

Wow, imagine that. The thing literally everyone said would happen. Good thing Dems caved and got nothing!

The comorbidity of neo-Nazism and transphobia isn't just a kind of "one bad belief leads to all bad beliefs". At its core, it's the same belief: belief in a rigid societal order where your station at birth determines your future, your role, and how you must labor. A belief in biodestiny, in short.

Being disliked by people with bad judgment is a compliment.

The idea that massive crackdown on anti-genocide protests in universities, and refusing to support Palestinian statehood would have somehow prevented last Sunday's terror attack in Bondi has already infected Aus media so deep that they're taking it as a truism www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

It means absolutely NOTHING, actually…👇 Like a bad Union contract negotiation.

JUST DO IT…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

95 and counting is the number of murders the US military is willing to commit before refusing to follow unlawful orders.

Quite an achievement to be this unpopular despite never having held any policy responsibility in your life

❗️After President Zelenskyy's words "Glory to Ukraine!", the entire Dutch parliament stood and applauded loudly for a minute.

I got reposted by Joyce Carol Oates, which is how side characters sometimes become footnotes in American literature.

❗️Zelenskyy: "We are dealing with a chronic criminal." "Russia strikes our infrastructure and accuses us of it. But when we respond, they scream as if only they are allowed to deliver strikes."

❗️Russia behaves like a career criminal convinced of its impunity, — Zelenskyy According to the head of state, it is not enough to simply force Russia to agree to a deal. The world must force it to accept that there are rules that must be followed.

As part of the discovery process in response to Trump's lawsuit, the Pulitzer Committee is demanding that Trump provide his financial and tax records, as well as his medical and psych records. Trump will drop the case before he complies with that. lawandcrime.com/high-profile...

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

Trump's ICE Has A Troubling Target: At-Risk Teenagers

If Democrats did this, it’d be called socialism. When Trump does it, it’s capitalism with a flag pin. Gift article. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true

Holy measles, Batman! 😳

Ice is coming to find out about the real Minnesota nice

A major part of this is simple jealousy. Trump is a narcissist, but has never done a single worthwhile thing in his life. Of course he hates someone like Reiner, who is a legend, who made real art someone like Trump can’t even understand. www.salon.com/2025/12/15/w...

💥 BOOM 🖕🧊✈️ “When we’re talking about the values of our city, and we stand up here and we say time after time that we support our immigrant community and that we are a welcoming city — I cannot support a corporation that does not prescribe to that,” Council member Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez said.

Another way to restart the world’s idea machine is to restore funding and grants to universities, researchers, and artists.
