Every accusation is a confession.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

a new genre of photo in the last year is federal agents working for ICE pointing guns directly at photographers

The ability to be "objective" or "neutral" about secret police disappearing kids would, in any rational system, be disqualifying. That the opposite is true is an indictment of journalism, and one reason that the mainstream media is distrusted.

Listening to @michaelhobbes.bsky.social and @notalawyer.bsky.social discuss "Zohran Derangement Syndrome" on @ifbookspod.bsky.social. Thankful to have a podcast that cuts through the weird gaslighting from the media and Democrat establishment! I'm glad there are people out there who get it.

i think the relentlessness has made the whole bit of transphobia really tiring for the average person. they see systems and structures failing them at every turn and then look to the news to see some ghoul wailing about "biological females" and it's like hey man stop being weird i have bills

Got my copy in the mail yesterday!

so where are the op-eds about republican overreach today? where’s the commentary about donald trumps war against american citizens or his terror campaign targeting brown people? where’s the pearl clutching over the conservative social media bubble reliant on nazi propagandists?

2. After race after race was called, Dems won by wide margins in contests where anti-trans rhetoric dominated. For all the centrist consultants urging Democrats to “moderate” or sacrifice trans people, the results suggest the opposite: conviction, is what wins.

Your resident pattern-obsessed person here you tell you that 2025 has the same date/day of the week lineup as 2008. So Mamdani won on Tuesday November 4 as did Obama.

LOUDER

I'd vote against Cuomo a third time if I could

if democrats are serious about winning they need to learn from tonight and convert to islam

Welp, guess this is our cue to post here for the first time! So fun, getting banned from Insta and FB two weeks before a publication date!

can't believe outlets are running moral-panic headlines again based on flimsy anecdata from the *same* trade group (the national retailer federation) and sponsored by the *same* anti-theft company (sensormatic) that had to retract this *same* "study" just two years ago for being bogus.

Sure seems like the landlord class benefits from ICE raids.

Abolishing ICE is the FLOOR. It isn't an unwinnable fringe demand. If you think it's too extreme of a position, figure out a way to fix your brain.

Until Monday to respond???

Fucking GOOD.

Kevin Roberts' defense of Nick Fuentes is a watershed moment: the right has officially declared open, unabashed Hitlerism to be an acceptable position in their coalition www.vox.com/politics/466...

HELLO SIDNEY. DO U CONDEMN THE ACTIONS OF HAMAS

I really hope that someone is dressing up as Samin NosfeRatu for Halloween. Just Count Orlok in a chef's apron with a copy of Salt Fat Acid Heat.

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

Imagine being 17, your little brother by your side, begging to speak to your dad as he’s dragged away. You may never see him again. And this is every day. Soul shattering, nightmarish stuff, never to be forgiven.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

I'm really excited to listen to this. I subscribed.

Thank you for getting that ours is a political project, for which supporting Palestinian mutual aid work in Gaza AND freeing political prisoners in Palestine and the imperial core are inextricably linked. We plan to continue working until liberation, which isn’t granted by colonizers, but is won.

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

Bernie could just have said, I have more information now and I don't think this person should be a Senator. Folks aren't calling for the man to be imprisoned. They are saying he shouldn't be elevated to a position of power.

needless to say, people can laser off or modify/ink over later-judged-ill-advised tattoos. i know some very funny stories about this and probably so do all of you *not* doing that is a choice, and people should be glad we're finding out about this now rather than later

‘this is how we talk in our own spaces’ okay well maybe that’s why there’s a male loneliness epidemic lol

It's so funny because they hated us for protesting for Palestine under Biden. "Why aren't you protesting Republicans?" And now when people show up to an ANTI-TRUMP PROTEST in support of Palestine they tell us it's STILL not the right place.

hey just an fyi if you see someone at your anti-authoritarianism event advocating for palestine, don’t be like this lady who doesn’t understand that the u.s. government is funding a genocide led by a deranged authoritarian government abroad. it’s not a good look. please stop doing this.

at this point it would be interesting journalism if someone could locate a Young Republican groupchat that was not full of overt Nazis

One of the things I really appreciate about Hannah's interview is how she speaks of her discomfort watching her leftist friends "spring into action" for Palestine in October 2023. Rather than doing that whole "the Left abandoned me" thing that many liberal zionists are STILL doing now--
