I've long said that a video library of every fascist getting decked in the mouth a la Richard Spencer would allow me to die happy. This will do.

Goddamn there is nothing more wholesome than this

Can someone explain to me the difference between chasing and arresting people because they have brown skin, and chasing and arresting people because they have a yellow star on their clothes.

Christ on a cracker, @nytimes.com

I do not desire the patience or grace to entertain conversations with people who like to argue against my humanity. But by all means do you.

Excellent essay about the whole Charlie Kirk thing. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/m...

Here you go...

Returning to a subject I was discussing this morning on X, I think a single video like this does more to radicalize people against ICE than any loaded rhetoric any politician has ever used, and DHS should think very hard about the consequences of supporting this kind of behavior from its agents.

Reading A People's History of the United States and becoming increasingly convinced that the inevitable end result of the US is the Snowpiercer train

This is so fucking dumb

According to them, escaping enslavement, teaching yourself to read, becoming the greatest speechifier on Earth & buying your own freedom, a set of feats that no white person has ever achieved, is DEI.

I expect a thesis and a manifesto to appear in disappearing ink that only the FBI can read

Appropriate description of J.D. Vance

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

What if it's the rapture but only for owls

Fuck ICE. Cowardly bastards.

This is the stupidest press conference I have ever seen. Robert Kennedy, Jr. is corrupt and criminally stupid. Folate deficiency relation to neurological disorders wasn't recently discovered. We have know that for years and that is why we add folic acid to grain crops.

LOL

The text is nuts "Presidential Actions DESIGNATING ANTIFA AS A DOMESTIC TERRORIST ORGANIZATION" www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Not a law.

New Executive Order just dropped

New: 404 Media is suing ICE. We have filed a lawsuit demanding ICE release its $2 million contract with Paragon, a company that makes powerful spyware to break into phones and read encrypted messages. This is expensive for a small outlet but this info is important www.404media.co/were-suing-i...

The thing I think we’re missing here is that Dr. King is eternally powerful. Charlie Kirk was situationally useful. Republicans don’t actually like each other. They only know relationships of convenience. Dr. King was a leader, even in death. Charlie is a fundraising tool, especially now in death.

Angela Paxton filed for divorce from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in July, accusing her husband of adultery. The records were placed under seal, but a group of 8 news organizations are arguing in court that the records are of public interest.

*mournfully shooting off a tshirt cannon into the sadly cheering funeral crowd*

Nations’ plans to ramp up coal, gas and oil extraction ‘will put climate goals beyond reach’

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

status report: no bueno

Important addendum if for some reason it's unclear: the wrongfulness here doesn't turn on documented status. This is wrong, period. The fact that they *were* documented per the reporting, however, goes to show how emboldened and indiscriminate this organization has become. It should be abolished.

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

Let me be the one to say it plain and clear. America is not intelligent or self-sufficient enough as a nation to be isolationist. American exceptionalism is a dangerous delusion. Like an Icarus level delusion. And it's so deep too many folks don't realize the wings already burned & we're plummeting.

This case makes clear that the point of work requirements isn't to keep people from exploiting the system. It's to ensure that the system has a steady supply of people to exploit. atlantablackstar.com/2025/09/19/m...

Pretty clear that running socialists within the Democratic Party has been the most successful electoral & rhetorical strategy of US socialists in 40 years

a few thoughts (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

Look, we have to throw you under the bus to win but AFTER we win then, then we'll uplift you But the thing is, in all of history, when has that uplift happened.

I guess I don’t understand the whole “If we abandon our values we’ll win elections” thing. Kind of seems like it misses the point but I’m just an actor.

Apparently DEI is a public health issue now, too

I feel for people who are genuinely in that place, but nihilism is so contagious and effective at shutting down action that it's very possible that there are bad actors intentionally spreading it. We should be skeptical of the motivations of anyone who makes us feel kinda like giving up.

A disorienting moment: Trump is consolidating autocratic power in areas where there's an easy path to do so. But in other areas he's facing deep institutional resistance and people are refusing to abandon the rule of law. Here he's weak and failing. Thoughts on that: newrepublic.com/article/2006...

They’re not sending their best.
