My latest: Charlie Kirk was a gutter bigot who built his career on censorship and bussed insurrectionists to the Capitol on J6. Why are liberals like Ezra Klein trying to paint him as a paragon of reason and dialogue?
loading . . .
Why are some liberals turning Charlie Kirk into a martyr for liberal democracy?
Holding him up as a champion of dialogue paints him in a false light to millions who might only know him in death, writes Lindsay Beyerstein.

So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

The full Weiss memo is dogshit -who cares if administration figures āregretā sending people to CECOT -who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison āwho cares about the ādebateā over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

We don't need to colonize Greenland for our national security. Denmark already let us put missile bases there. Invading Greeland or bullying Denmark to get it would be terrible for our national security. Trump is just an egomaniac who wants his name on something bloated by the Mercator Projection.

Even if you are/were a gang member, you have a right to due process. Even if you have committed a violent crime, you are not by any standard of humanity, supposed to be shut away forever in a torture chamber run by sociopaths and gleeful torturers. THESE ARE CONCENTRATION CAMPS. Shame on us. Shame.

Yes. Media billionaires have had a lot longer to corrupt journalism systems - a big turning point was Murdoch buying the NY Post in the mid 70s. Then Fox 1997, Newsweek, CNN, WBD, CBS. Theyāve worked on corrupting public health for less time and itās already quite bad. We can fight now and win.
