Opinion | My entire career is based on being a seemingly hip, young lesbian who says things that old men like to hear. Here's why DEI is wrong. by Bari Weiss

Happening now: Hundreds of rabbis and Jewish community members gather in Brooklyn for a mass public memorial service on Yom Kippur, demanding a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and for the U.S. to stop arming Israel.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Trump is doing comedian cancellations the right way. --Ezra tomorrow @nytpitchbot.bsky.social

Why don't we ask Fuentes his opinion? Or Milo? Maybe Henry Tarrio could enlighten us. Eventually you can invite my neighbor Carl who is still banging on about the Biden Crime Syndicate and Obama being the real racist. Or maybe you could show some fucking balls like Coates.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

1. A few hours before this morning’s presser, in which law enforcement authorities announced they had taken into custody Charlie Kirk’s killer, Meghan McCain, daughter of the late John McCain, weighed in on “the fundamental difference between the right and the left in this country.”

The stadium Trump is in is named after Arthur Ashe, the tennis legend. What many people today probably don't know is that Ashe was literally arrested in front of the White House in 1992 for protesting the George H.W. Bush administration's treatment of Haitian refugees. www.upi.com/Archives/199...

What Epstein records have not been made public?

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Federal judges tell NBC News the Supreme Court has got to do a better job of explaining emergency rulings, with frequent decisions in favor of Trump at least appearing to validate harsh criticism of the judiciary at a time of rising threats: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

*Colonel* Robert E. Lee. He was only a general in an illegal army

It isn’t even cynical to point out that “the militarization of police” has been happening without functional opposition for so long that there’s vanishingly little distinction to be made between cops and troops. Obviously visually, but press a little harder and it vanishes elsewhere, too.

Strong Dukakis vibes.

HOUSTON: “The owner of Trump Burger arrested by ICE and now faces deportation.” (H/T @patriottakes.bsky.social )

It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.👇 Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.

Inescapable because her PR team has gullible marks at places like NYT to churn out a few thousand words of thought shaped piffle. "What Does This Say About Us?" asks the NYT in a trenchant flurry of piffle.

You first lumpy.

Reminder that three years ago this dork was confidently insisting that the metaverse was "the next chapter of the internet". Every single billionaire hawking their AI shit sounds like the monorail guy from The Simpsons and once you notice that it's impossible to take them seriously.

This.

England wins on a shit penalty.

Dear Press: it's not a "clash." "Protestors CLASH with ICE agents blah blah blah" One side (cops, ICE, CPB) is heavily armored and armed, and starts violence at every opportunity. The other side (protestors) is hardly ever armed, and shows up with signs. It's not a "clash."

This July 4th, Americans will celebrate the freedoms they used to have.

In a party filled with dickless fuckwits, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social stands out.

I am slain.

Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago “No Kings” rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.

CHATTANOOGA… #NoKingsDay

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

Times like these, I am reminded of a line from Edmund Burke: I hope they get every disease and die shitting.

Maintaaaain. Maintaiiiin.

This was today… Sotally tober… NYT clearly way off base…

Nobody should ever believe one word from Bari Weiss.

There's always a tweet.

Holy Crap, this seems to be real?

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?

In the scheme of things, this is but a minor bit of fuckery...but Tennessee charging an extra $100 on plate renewal for hybrid vehicles is some deeply misguided shit. A penalty for polluting less? JFC

Kind, decent, and compassionate, Pope Francis was badly out of step with contemporary western culture.

Abe Simpson has entered the chat.

Huge.

I had legit completely forgotten this.

Worth noting that Mike Waltz’s brother-in-law is the lead singer of Creed.
