"Members see themselves as modern Crusaders, using the Crusader cross as their symbol - a reference to the medieval Christians who fought Muslims for control of Jerusalem."

the DOJ atty (& 2x Harvard grad) who suggested Harvard showed "wanton indifference to antisemitism" once wrote a paper from the perspective of Hitler & expressed admiration for Mein Kampf stunning reporting from @hilaryburns.bsky.social @talkopan.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/m...

Hard to think of a clearer declaration of dictatorship than "the Crooked game of politics is over"

“If I had capitulated, I would have been a completely frustrated man, because I would feel like someone who has betrayed himself,” MORE STORIES LIKE THIS PLEASE (from @michellegoldberg.bsky.social) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/15/o...

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution & unacknowledged by our laws.

Wow it turns out that appealing to angry MAGA men doesn't help sell jeans to young women www.forbes.com/sites/richar...

@stephenricher.bsky.social and I are going live in one hour - 12 ET - with special guest @michellegoldberg.bsky.social to talk about South Park, the power of political parody, and how to escape the chilling effect on "Terms of Engagement." www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpSR...

I'm curious how many people know without googling who Cory Mills is. I think it's telling that he's nowhere near as well known as, say, George Santos...

Anyone else old enough to remember "South Park Conservatives"?

Am I wrong or is the discourse around this entirely manufactured? I keep seeing claims that "the left is melting down" and the evidence is two people on tiktok. It's like they need wokeness so bad they have to invent it

Longshot but if anyone has tix for Well, I'll Let You Go this week and wants to either sell them or trade for the ones I have later in August please let me know!

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

My hunch had been that there wasn't much in the Epstein docs and Pam Bondi was simply lying when she said the files were on her desk because she thinks MAGA voters are rubes. But this kind of makes me think otherwise?

Peace demonstrators have been beaten, foreign students have been disappeared, and educational institutions have been broken and tarred for being "antisemitic" through a series of tortured jingoistic inferences, while Donald Trump constantly and explicitly tells us what he thinks of Jews

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

NEW: The nominee to run the Office of Special Counsel shared a 911 truther video last year on *911*, has ties to a holocaust denier, and said in a video we uncovered that straight white men are the smartest group and should be prioritized. He’s 30. www.cnn.com/2025/07/02/p...

I keep thinking about how Trump, during his first term, talked about building an alligator-filled moat to use against immigrants, and few really took him seriously, and now he talks about sending Americans to CECOT and it gets brushed off the same way

This is a concentration camp

Pretty thought-provoking op-ed by @michellegoldberg.bsky.social on the politics of censorship, outrage, and intentional provocation in MAGA and Israel-Palestine. Banger of a final line: “Sometimes, however, radicalization is born in the gap between what people feel and what they feel they can say.”

Remember when people insisted that conservatism was punk rock?

Really enjoyed talking with @michellegoldberg.bsky.social even if prognosis on Iran is depressing. Important to understand how bombing has fallen short and where this leaves Iran. The answer is closer to a bomb in more ways than one. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/o... @scientistsorg.bsky.social

Does anyone know how many of those MOB bombs America has? This CBS story suggests the number is about 20. If Trump dropped 14 and still failed to stop Iran's nuclear program don't we have a lot less deterrence then we used to? www.cbsnews.com/news/massive...

Sort of feel like it might be good that Trump is watching this, if he thinks it's mission accomplished he won't want to do anything else

Exceptional piece from @rtraister.bsky.social on Cuomo. Covers his terrible governance, his selfishness, his lying, his harassment. There is nothing in this man that anyone should want near power. 1/2

Has anyone written about what happens to Iran's nuclear material if the regime falls and there's some sort of free-for-all?

I agree with almost every word of this, especially the kicker: "Lander sure looked like the kind of guy you’d want in charge at a time like this." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/o...

Real world: - Trump team trying to create a Reichstag moment. - Trump telling military audience that LA is hellhole full of "animals" - Officials in Calif trying both to calm things down, and stand up PUNDIT world: - Is it smart politics? - Is Gavin running? - Doesn't Trump look strong!

Brand-new polling from YouGov out this AM finds Trump's actions re: LA underwater. Double-digit disapproval on sending in Marines. This should be a reality check for those people arguing the protests inherently help Trump bc his immigration approval # is positive. today.yougov.com/topics/polit...

There have to be easier ways to apply for a job at CNN

If you can go see "John Proctor Is the Villain" www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/o...

Joni Ernst, at her town hall last night. When the crowd said people will die due to Medicaid and SNAP cuts, she said: "well we all are going to die." 🫠🫠🫠🫠

he wrote this about Andrew Tate. this is not even the entire post.

This guy misrepresented himself as a lawyer -- he hadn't passed the bar -- to represent Andrew Tate
