The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English. He spent a year in jail for this.

Congrats to Benjamin Netanyahu, the worst prime minister in Israeli history by a wide margin

It's pretty important that Democrats see this and understand that chasing votes on the right costs them more than it gains them. But I mostly share this because the phrase "fag-packet maths" is the most British thing I've ever read. We're at Peak British as of now. I'm almost dizzy.

(on my deathbed) i should have formed more bird alliances

nice argument, but i have already depicted myself as a friendly and helpful neighbor and you as a deranged online racist

developed democracies are balkanising into 'internet fascist' & 'progressive liberal' teams nobody wants reactionary centrism

the Ellison media empire, even if they do manage to build it out, is an extremely fragile asset for the reactionary cause in several ways for one, the commitment to the cause of those principals that are younger than 80 is uncertain for two, there's not much evidence they're good at this

yeah there's imo some real tension between the "they will have to consume what we give them" posture and the absolute explosion in content generation pathways

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close! New: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

NINE?????

Hearing about this new trend. It's called brown hair

The lollipop I was sucking on after I drop it on the carpet:

Epstein stashed massive quantities of data, including thousands of discs with photos and videos and even entire computer, in storage units he rented across the USA. Was this his "insurance policy"? Now that the news is out, will the FBI investigate or rush to conceal the evidence?

NEW POLL on Dem. structural reforms: U.S. adults support 18-yr term limits for Supreme Court justices by a 50-point margin (GOP is +34 in favor), favor statehood for Puerto Rico and limits on pardons by POTUS, and are split on DC statehood, packing the Court: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/two-thirds...

So this is @abeardedpanda.bsky.social’s idea but basically podcasts have replaced & turbocharged this. You don’t have to wait for the 1hr Rush Limbaugh show to be on now, you can listen to four hours of Nick Fuentes while doing your weekend chores - and in perfect HD voice, not AM radio static

so yes, you can transform a CBS or a CNN into right-wing slop, and yes that will have an impact, but it is also true that americans will have access to a large universe of other information AND they will continue to build new venues for telling stories about the world and sharing their views…

the consolidation of major media institutions by the president’s oligarch friends is obviously bad, but i do wonder about the ultimate impact. it is clear that trump and his allies believe that you can buy up media and pull an orban or a putin. but…

The stomach? Sounds like the time of my life.

Well, Nats fans, I’m sticking around. Thrilled to announce that I’m joining the @theathletic.com as the Washington Nationals beat reporter. I’m amped about our plans for the beat, and believe you will be, too. www.nytco.com/press/the-at...

"The president has no legitimate authority over elections, and any effort to assert such authority is an attack on the most basic foundation of American democracy."

For context, Biden ended the drone war and got us out of Afghanistan. Platner claimed to oppose Iraq, then signed up to fight in it, joined Blackwater PMC after it committed war crimes, and fantasized about fighting in the Indian Wars.

Here we have Graham Platner sharing content from Stew Peters, a virulently anti-Semitic streamer.

Sure is weird how neck deep in Nazi shit Platner is.

Great pull from the Epstein files. FBI tried to figure out who on 4chan had scooped all news outlets on Epstein's death, but the trail went cold when they couldn't find who had that IP address.

Why isn't this a WAY bigger story? Planning to be retired in 2040? Or still alive and on Medicare any time after that? Good luck with your healthcare.

Breaking WaPo: Pro-Trump activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a 17-page draft executive order that claims China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.

BREAKING: Columbia President Claire Shipman says DHS agents entered a residential buliding this morning and detained a student. "Our understanding at this time is that the federal agents made misrepresentations to gain entry to the building to search for a 'missing person.'"

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

Rothschild references Illuminati and anti-Semitic tropes, with conspiracies offering simple explanations for complex events, pushed by cognitive biases like pattern recognition and confirming pre-existing beliefs. Stay away from the bullshit.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

it's so funny to, as a society, get worse at delivering the mail.

it’s legitimately a huge fucking scandal that the FBI director has fucked up at least two major investigations because he uses the FBI’s planes as private planes and has actively failed to even bother with one of the highest profile abductions since the lindburgh baby

Fetterman’s poll numbers are now in Sinema territory: sunk too deep with his party to win a primary, artificially inflated by Republicans who’d never actually vote for him, trapped in a negative-partisanship era that makes an independent bid implausible. His seat is up in 2028.
