The right, along the Roberts Court, is trying to nullify the Reconstruction amendments guaranteeing equality under the law, in order to restore the Antebellum Constitution, which envisions “liberty” as an eternal aristocracy of race and class (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Read about the new scholarship on Spain, then contemplate the fact that Franco was venerated in the National Review from the start, and you hav a skeleton key, opening up the fact that "modern American conservatism" never maintained a meaningful distance from fascism. www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

Which sound effect is better: the football hitting Hans Moleman in the groin in Man Getting Hit By Football or the weak point getting destroyed in Fighter's History Dynamite/Karnov's Revenge A question millennial scientists have been asking for 30 years with no clear answer yet in sight

Me, on stage for a serious legal debate about birthright citizenship vs Harvard Law Professor Adrian Vermeule, responding to his opening statement against it: Er-hem. Good evening everyone. Let me get my reading glasses. Ok. Er-hem. NAZI PROFS!! NAZI PROFS!! NAZI PROFS!! FUUUUCK OFFFF!!!! Thank you.

Happy New Hardcore History Episode Release Week to all who celebrate

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

In this video, Itabashi Zangief talks about his "Command Grab Co-Ed High School" team's performance in the recent Topanga Charity Cup. It has human-generated closed captions, press the CC button to turn them on. www.youtube.com/watch?v=damn...

Now that Bari Weiss pulled a segment telling the truth about Trump's deportations to let Stephen Miller have his say (i.e. spread propaganda), it's a good time to check out our deep dive into Miller's real worldview and agenda, which doesn't pull any punches: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

This means the VA won't cover abortions EVEN in the case of rape, incest, or serious threat to the health of the patient. The DOJ memo was authored by Josh Craddock, one of the chief legal advocates for fetal personhood, i.e. imposing a nationwide abortion ban through the courts.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Got the devastating news that one of the old Fresno fg homies passed away recently and his family has put up a GFM to help with some of the associated costs. A repost or anything helps out a ton. gofund.me/d15b6ec3e

What is striking here, of course, is that no one was apologizing for being white at any point, outside of some very unusual academic hothouse environments. What the experience as 'apologizing for being white' is actually just 'accommodating non-white people living as full citizens and equals.'

“The Supreme Court decided not to have a Christmas party for 12 straight years because the justices couldn’t agree on whether to invite the Court’s Black employees” is about as tidy an encapsulation of the Supreme Court’s whole deal as I can think of

We're retiring some of our most popular KING OF FIGHTERS designs! January 3 will be your LAST CHANCE to get these t-shirts, long sleeves, & pin badges! In celebration, we're discounting them by ~50% AND putting the rest of our SNK catalog on sale too! Act fast! merch.ten-o.gg/colle...

BREAKING: RFKJr directs that the US instantly stop recommending all vaccinations for children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Consider the idea that Trump is actually a moderating force. What if future GOP voters/leaders are not only more explicit Nazis, but also not constrained by an incurious grifter who burns political capital on scandals like Epstein & has no ideological commitments beyond bigotry & self-enrichment?

Very cool!

They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.

This framing is dishonest. It was a bipartisan bill. Enough Republicans actually defected and voted no to kill the bill. Three Democrats crossed over to save it. They should be stripped of their committee assignments and thrown out of the party, quite frankly.

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

Here's my homemade Hanukah menorah btw. I designed it and 3D printed it. The lights are removable LEDs. The light holders and lights are removable so it totally comes apart for storage. I'd do some things downright differently if I made it today but I really like it still overall

Operation Move On From E Honda begins tonight

The massacre of Jews celebrating Chanukah in Australia is horrific. There's no truly safe place to be a Jew. Still, the guy who stopped one of the shooters, not Jewish himself, gives me some hope. That kind of cross-community solidarity is the only path to safety, not just for Jews but for everyone

When Scalia rewrote the Second Amendment in Heller, I warned that he would have “blood on his hands” from the carnage he was enabling. The Second Amendment protects a “militia” right, which was the understanding of the courts for 200 years. The “individual right” rewrite is a suicide pact.

We're going live now, tune in! twitch.tv/fightrisefgc

One of the FGC's most unique event formats happens again today: @fightrise.com's Crossup Basebrawl! It's Wreck the Halls 3, raising money for the Raiden Science Foundation to fight rare genetic disease. The production values are high, the players are strong, and Tong & I are gonna be silly. 4pm PT!

It is important to promise, now, that whatever Trump builds at the White House will be torn down as soon as he leaves. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/if-he-buil...

Damnit this is good writing, @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social.

this is a general warrant and it's specifically the kind of warrant the framers passed the 4th amendment to outlaw

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

This isn't final, still in the notice & comment stage. But if it goes through, even as someone whose job depends on people attending events here, I would urge folks not to enter the US. Send a comment TODAY yelling at these assholes not to do this! (PDF in thread has full info incl how to comment)

My primary takeaway from the Game Awards is the 10 seconds of this as the Astro Bot guy was walking out to deliver the GOTY award youtu.be/sTrsOoECfac?...

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

I’m running for Congress because we need leaders who will fight, not fold. I recognize this moment, and I’m ready to meet it. #FightDontFold #LanderForNYC #LanderForCongress

"A broken clock is right twice a day" Oh really????

Federal agents are arresting American citizens. This isn’t about public safety - it’s about stoking fear. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

HEY YOU😮 Yeah, YOU🫵 We heard you wanted great deals on FGC apparel & accessories for the holidays but STILL haven't put in your order! ✅BIG DISCOUNTS 👉ORDER NOW TO GET DELIVERY BEFORE CHRISTMAS ⏰SALE ENDS 11:59PM PT By the FGC for the FGC merch.ten-o.gg

A Sheeva greeting card I made. Pulling the tab makes her stomp while also revealing the rest of the message. "Thank You For... Stomping By!"

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

It's not that we're MAD that you haven't ordered from us this holiday season yet. We're just... disappointed. We thought you'd want huge discounts on the coolest FGC apparel & accessories...😓 😁Oh, you do? Great! But our sale ends tomorrow, so act fast: merch.ten-o.gg

27-year-old Honduran man with end-stage renal failure denied dialysis until he signed a voluntary deportation order. Abolish DHS completely. Arrest most of its leaders.

Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.

If the next SF6 patch doesn't have enough help for Honda, I'll switch to Dhalsim, Zangief, or JP, whoever seems strongest at that time. I played Honda while I thought he was relatively good. Now I think he's relatively weak, and I'm not gonna make myself struggle needlessly

me confronting a giant white-hooded Samuel Alito by holding up the the actual text & history of the 14th amendment & trying to tell my buddies it'll be ok as he prepares to effortlessly launch my ass into a nearby cliff wall

I like that SF6 Modern Dhalsim gets ex blast on 2S so his antiair & anticrossup are better and can OS/react with lv3 vs drive rush & other situations. Losing st MK in footsies & HK blast in combos are bummers, but he's mostly intact otherwise. Idk, not an obvious choice between C & M for him imo
