pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Axios is functionally arguing that being a white supremacist who starves children is "Christian" because they never call out republicans who campaign on being Christian for the ways their policies violate Christian teachings. But following/ liking a few sex workers on Insta is anti-Christian.

Let me know when he follows followers of Aleksander Dugin and other Nazis.

The more we learn about Zohran Mamdani's upbringing, the clearer it becomes that he owes everything to his connected, well-to-do parents. by A.G. Sulzberger, Andrew Cuomo, Bill Ackman, and Donald Trump, Jr.

This is the same impulse behind expecting squeaky clean behavior from Democrats on gerrymandering or candidate quality. "Democrats voted for a candidate who used violent rhetoric in a private conversation?? Truly a new low in American history!"

Reminder that Ohio Senator JD Vance’s “chief fiscal policy advisor” was caught on Reddit bragging about ski trips and managing his drug addictions with novel designer chemicals Rules for thee, not for them

As Ta-Nehisi Coates said last month: “.. it’s either one of two things: either you’re cowards or you’re with him. And if you’re with him, you never believed in the things you were talking about to begin with.”

This is fine dot gif

This is literally straight Ratzellian Hitlerism

FIFA creating a "Peace Prize" to give Trump is so amazingly on brand for both FIFA and Trump that I can't even be mad.

Like truck nuts hanging off the back of Air Force One.

I’m sure @jaketapper.bsky.social is hard at work on his next book as we speak, right?

This week's @unbreaking.org update on immigration is *also* an update on data security because the administration is using immigration enforcement as a way to trial and operationalize a full-on surveillance state.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

I guess the Mayor doesn’t read my work. lapublicpress.org/2025/11/bass...

He's such a piece of shit and he absolutely understands how popular power works in a way that most white dudes really simply don't

Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇 When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

This should give succor to those of us on the side of justice. Bannon is the strategist Rufo wishes he was, and he is not bullshitting here when he says that it is now or never for Trumpian fascists. That if they don't manage to consolidate stat, they are toast. The regime is NOT doing well

RFK Jr., who is the Secretary of the U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services - in charge of our nation’s health - flees when man has medical emergency during press conference in the Oval office 🤔

Interesting that there were good anti-racism reasons to boycott Target before they canceled their DEI programs. I knew some of this already but forgot how cop-friendly they've been.

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

Henry Ford museum tour guide: And this is a printing press used by the Dearborn Independent to put in it what Henry Ford thought School children: May we see the newspaper? Tour guide: Absolutely not Children: Why? Tour guide: All those slurs are not appropriate for children, is why

i want to throw hoagies at men too

I will never stop being mad that the NYTimes continues to handsomely pay someone to write about American conservatism who was capable of being so obviously and egregiously wrong about it.

Douthat has basically become the ambassador to the NYT for Breitbart nation. Only a matter of time before we get a regular show from him about Black crime and race & IQ studies.

Next week's pieces on the New York Times' Opinion Page: "Was Major League Baseball Ruined by Allowing Negroes to Play?" "Critics Complain about RFK Jr's 'National Leeching' But Here's Why They're Wrong" "Only Cucks Fly Commercial" "Democracy: Is It Really Worth the Hassle?"

Americans, you could have this.

The right is producing content for what is essentially a reality TV show for a national fascist counter-reality that anyone who wants to believe can immerse themselves in and pretend is real (and use as “evidence” for decision-making) but it doesn’t replace actual reality that we can all still see

Oh, I thought he was talking about Trump and the GOP purposefully starving 42 million Americans.

more people need t o know about this city referendum from 2015

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

When your "I'm not antisemitic, it's just that ..." defense is "if we push back too hard on antisemitism I might have to eat dinner with some Jews and that would contradict my faith" ... You're not beating the rap guys

ICE deported him anyways. They literally put a man who was at death’s door on a plane to Costa Rica. Doctors there found he had encephalopathy, rhabdomyolysis and the inability to eat on his own. What happened to him in ICE custody to cause this? He died a few weeks after deportation:

Teen Vogue was seriously committed to diverse and inclusive journalism and their disability coverage was extremely good. This is a big loss and someone better snap this column up!!

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

Jewish colleagues I speak with regularly cite Jonathan Greenblatt as one of the most serious threats they face. They're convinced that he is committed to silencing or destroying any Jew who openly criticizes or challenges Benjamin Netanyahu and his war making. And they're correct.

We had a candidate who did this in Kansas - she ran in an unwinnable house race and improved Democratic turnout enough that the Senate race above her swung Democrat. That seat ended the Republican veto override. Once we got a Democratic Governor, her upheld vetoes moved policy left. Losers win!

Nobody asks Christians to apologize for the Confederacy I wonder why

How is it that it takes 12 grafs for The Athletic to mention that Project B is a Saudi-backed venture? WTH are sports journalists doing?

I talk to the press professionally, I'm really, really, really good at it. So please, please believe me when say you cannot turn this interview request into anything good, it will do only harm. Harm to you, harm to your child, harm to other children.

Impeach RFK Jr. If things go on, North America is on track to becoming a hotspot for permanent measles transmission. Canada could lose its measles-free designation this week. We are not be far behind. 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/meas...

Do not talk to Amy Harmon or the new york times

"Democrats were searching for a leader. They found something better: a coalition."

too big to fail speedrun

“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

I've raved about Hush in the past, but I think this is the most interesting episode so far: it's about how people get their information and how they evaluate it in today's messed up information ecosystem. Those of you who know what I study will know why this one is so relevant to my own work.

“There is no MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner to be hung, no real material change in the world of today versus yesterday. Just the quiet relief of good news that helps us live to fight another day.” What a breathtakingly lovely piece.
