It’s funny so many Americans believe Trump is a paragon of masculinity when he has the temperament and interests of a fucking toddler.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

rfk jr wants to kill your kids, it’s really that simple.

What were the CIA-backed "Zero Units" in Afghanistan? For a deep dive, read reporter Lynzy Billing's award-winning piece from 2022:

It's wild but not surprising that last week the White House was leaning into "these seditious Democrats dared suggest that troops were receiving illegal orders!!!" and this week they are scrambling to figure out who to blame for issuing illegal orders.

The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.

Killing is bad, and to that end I'd like to call attention to the dozens killed in small boats in the southern Caribbean by the Trump Administration and the estimated 600,000 who've died of preventable disease and starvation thanks to the administration's destruction of USAID.

More elections are already around the corner, mere days. And Democrats have opportunities to build on their November gains by flipping more offices: in Tennessee, in Georgia, in Florida. And that's just the tip of a busy election month. My new guide, just out:

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

Nature: Winter is a time of slowing down, resting, conserving energy and recovering for the year ahead Capitalism: NOW IS THE TIME TO SELL SELL SELL, EXTENDED OPENING HOURS, CHECK OUT OUR SALES, BUY EVERYTHING WE SAY YOU NEED FOR AN ELABORATE LABOUR-INTENSIVE FESTIVAL, WORK YOURSELF TO THE BONE

This is fu*king outrageous! The federal government on Saturday dismissed charges against a Utah plastic surgeon accused of throwing away COVID-19 vaccines, giving children saline shots instead of the vaccine and selling faked vaccination cards. apnews.com/article/utah...

NEVER EVER ANNOY AN ENGLISH OAK 😬🫣

The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders. The evidence is strong that he actually is giving illegal orders! I went through that evidence here: newrepublic.com/article/2035...

The Lowdown on Hulu was well worth resubscribing for. Binged the season in 3 days. Immediately re-watching dozens of memorable scenes.

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM, YOU FLAMING SHITBIRDS. WE HAVE, IN FACT, NOT IGNORED YOUR NOW-DEFUNCT HYPOTHESIS. WE INVESTIGATED IT TO THE TUNE OF STUDIES WITH DATA FROM MILLIONS OF KIDS.

Incredible headline.

Judge Ellis derides Greg Bovino as a serial fabulist who brazenly lied on the stand and seemingly considered it funny to perjure himself. cst.brightspotcdn.com/49/34/daecfb...

I haven’t seen this get covered in English yet so let me translate. Grok is saying that the crematories at Auschwitz’s were conceived as disinfectant chambers, not mass execution and that the law has made it taboo to acknowledge that this is what they were X is a Nazi site. Get off the Nazi site.

The “canceled people” database listing victims of cancel culture, which includes oft-repeated cases such as Bret Weinstein (Evergreen State College) and James Damore (Google), has a little over 200 entries across 18 years. canceledpeople.org

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

"The chemtrail theory is ultimately prideful. It’s a way for theorists to feel powerful + smart when they face things beyond their comprehension and control." People cling to ridiculous theories to meet their emotional needs - great explanation by @dratropos.bsky.social for @theconversation.com

Wow, this a shocking loss of composure for such a smug & shameless liar. Normally I don’t buy into “such and such politician is panicking”, but he’s freaking out.

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

Is DeSantis aware that threatening the life of the President is a crime?

Everyone in Trump 2.0 is a thieving, grifting sack of shit.

Confirmed: Katie Wilson will be mayor of Seattle, ousting the incumbent from his left. And Erika Evans will be the new city attorney, ousting the GOP city attorney after promising to take the office in a more progressive direction. What do progressives' win mean for law enforcement? NEW IN BOLTS:

Congratulations Seattle and the nation! We've got a Democratic Socialist mayor in the biggest city in the NE of the country and the biggest city in the NW of the country. Can't wait to see what they can get done together.

I knew there was a reason Republicans have been trying to stop the release of the Epstein files, but holy ****ing shit.

Finally! Release the Epstein files!

When people declare themselves messiahs, and characterize anyone who opposes their will as demonic, the reaction of a normal society is to institutionalize them.

This hidden provision is so crooked and selfish, it doesn't even apply to US Representatives. Just US Senators.

#Seattle #Seattlemayor Holy shit. After today's update, Katie Wilson is leading Bruce Harrel by 91 votes! Not a typo: NINETY ONE votes!

Trump Completes Jan. 6 Autocoup With Mass Preemptive Pardons talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Eight Senate Democrats saw charts like these and decided "oh yes, now that public opinion is on our side and our opponent is facing electoral consequences for their policy choices, now is a great time to give up all of our leverage in health care negotiations" www.gelliottmorris.com/p/donald-tru...

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Democrats have flipped 2 seats in the Mississippi senate, and in so doing they've broken the GOP's supermajority in the chamber.

Democrats are on track to win 64 of Virginia's 100 House seats. That'd be THIRTEEN flips; the chamber is 51/49 right now.

JUST IN: California has adopted Prop 50, the Democratic plan to redistrict the state, according to CNN. They called it as soon as polls closed.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Mamdani wins! Hell yeah!

Democrats are on track for a double-digit number of flips in the Virginia state House. The chamber will be unrecognizable come January.

A Border Patrol agent was caught on video telling another to throw tear gas “for fun,” according to a court filing. They also mocked protesters and residents who were getting gassed.

The Washington Post doesn’t exist anymore. An undead creature is wearing its skin, and may appear similar at first glance, but don’t be fooled. The Washington Post that you valued is dead, and has been decaying for some time. I’m sorry.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029. The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race. Can’t put the stakes any more clearly than that. boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...
