"Why don't they just apply for citizenship?" This is a question often directed toward undocumented immigrants living in the United States. But the pathway to American citizenship for the vast majority is long, complex, and financially draining.

This is simultaneously not an especially radical theological belief and, politically speaking (especially in the U.S. context), quite a thing for Pope Leo to say. www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/266859/...

That's part of why I wrote this. It's important to understand that MAGA is not "real" America. On the contrary, the reason they're all so fucking bitter is they know most people aren't like them. And they resent that. www.salon.com/2025/10/01/m...

this is the third time Donald Trump has shut down the government while his party controls both houses of Congress

Why the hell is Schumer in the picture?

He's so good...

And then Stephen Miller jangled some keys in front of his face and he forgot what I had told him...

Car dealers should be completely unsurprised that their entire business model is hated and no one cares if it is destroyed, even if it is by someone like Musk. Holy shit it's bad.

UNTIL IT'S DONE, Ep. 2 When the Brownsville Clinic opened in 1916, it was the first birth control center in America. Its very existence felt impossible. For young women, it was a lifeline. 109 years later, the Clinic is long closed—but Brownsville mothers are still struggling.

And remember, the reason he wanted separate vaccines wasn't due to any science, but because *he'd filed a patent application for a single measles vaccine*. It was just grifting.

ah shit, I had swapped lambda and coreweave around to make the diagram more sane and forgot to move the super micro funding arrow from coreweave to lambda. fixed

Kimmel should make his first show back all about Jeffrey Epstein

what ezra doesn't seem willing to accept is that charlie kirk was part of a political movement that does not think that "we are going to have to live here with each other" and is fact very interested in the elimination and/or subjugation of many, many people

I mean,... I imagine a person in his position with his beliefs WOULD say that, wouldn't they? I think that the genius of democracy, in theory, is that the extremely powerful aren't the ones who get to unilaterally make this call.

going from "transgender ideology" to "look at the poor misguided white kid" without even taking a breath, unconscionable

I put together a primer on Charlie Kirk — and paid some special attention to his relationship with Nick Fuentes and the Groyper movement. There's no hot takes or sweeping declarations. Just some useful background. www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/who-was-ch...

COMMENTARY: Charlie Kirk was shot in Utah today. And so were schoolchildren in Colorado. Because of the sick delusion that violence solves problems. None of us is safe.

Remember folks:

her dumb ass can't make a profit NOW while generative AI tools are cheap and subsidized. this company has no path to success. BtB gets more downloads in 3 months than her whole company did in two years. there's no shortcut to actually paying someone to make something good.

trump is a gollum we constructed from all our worst impulses and the tackiest hustlebro bullshit imaginable, he's in many ways a perfect reflection of the culture we curated

COMMENTARY: If this was happening in another nation, we'd call it by name. It's authoritarianism.

I fucking despise Chuck Schumer

the people who made this thing should be treated like dealers who mix fent into drugs.

Good. Because the relationship between the average American and our military is kind of fucked and needs to change. We don't need to attack individual soldiers, but we need to recognize what our military represents in other countries... Imperialism.

Gavin Newsom and Buttigege both seemingly want to be the American Keir Starmer, and Americans sympathetic to that pitch should glance over at how things are going across the pond

DC statehood is now an imperative. No more dicking around. Next Dem majority, get it done immediately.

So,... can liberals stop whinging about DC statehood not being the most obvious decision in the world now? Let's give PR an enablement act as well.

Feels like perhaps they shouldn't have built their entire business model on the theft of intellectual property on a scale that has never been seen before.

A fair assessment of Trump,...

Why would we call them anything else? There are fighters. The party? Fucking useless. They're fighting a gentleman's skirmish in the middle of a war and getting upset that people aren't happy with them.

Anyway.

The premise of this article — that Bluesky needs hypergrowth — is exactly the problem. The idea that internet companies should grow infinitely and monopolize their space, fattened on VC cash driven by optimistic valuations, is exactly what ruined the internet. www.piratewires.com/p/bluesky-is...

I didn't realize President Woman-Hater would nominate a judge who hates women. My colleague Senator Sucks Shit told me the nominee didn't suck shit, and I figured I could trust his expert shit-sucking opinions. I suppose that's my mistake.

WATCH: The Nelk Boys ask @hasandpiker about the backlash to them having Netanyahu on their podcast when they didn’t know enough about Gaza to push back on his lies, as Bibi knew would be the case. (They ended up debating Burger King vs. McDonald’s… as people in Gaza starve)

The way to do the Mamdani thing is not to copy the surface attributes of his communication pieces, it's to 1) know yourself 2) stand for something 3) understand and respect your audience

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.
