STOP MAKING ME LOOK AT RFK AND KID ROCK!!!!!

As a pescatarian, Lent is a time of especial decadence and indulgence for me as I eat every fast food chain imaginable’s seasonal fish sandwich

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

At least one Meta employee thinks it's a good time to add facial recognition technology to glasses because we're too distracted by fascism to effectively protest www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Put this together with the WSJ story about Kristi Noem (and Corey Levandowski)'s private 737 Max love plane that DHS is in the process of buying for them, and the ostentatious security details for other officials, and a certain American Fascist Security Aesthetic is emerging

The Wall Street Journal just illustrated the core argument of my book: a system rigged to reward capital over labor is one in which even full-time work no longer secures the most basic material needs. This is the economic order that produces the "working homeless." www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...

Beyond confirming that DOJ attorney Julie Le said, "I wish you would just hold me in contempt of court so I can get 24 hours of sleep," the reporter adds now that she is an ICE attorney who volunteered to help with the habeas cases, but "We have no guidance or direction on what we need to do."

A cabal of pedophiles conspired to destroy the US government from within by seeding fascist ideas into online forums, spreading conspiracy theories about the opposition based on their own actions, and devised an alternative currency to upend the global economy. Now they run the US government and CBS

So what I’m gathering is a pedophilic billionaire successfully worked to destigmatize race science among the academic, political, and business elite partly by sex trafficking girls. Is that the shape of it so far?

My theory: Murakami has weird cooking trauma, as in his novels men cook just before their pets disappear or they have unexpected succubus sex with ghost women sporting interesting ears

Good: Finally cracking open Moses Maimonides’ Guide of the Perplexed Bad: I have a weird purist thing about always reading introductions, and my translation has an introduction by…Leo Strauss

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence: "Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

It's hilarious that they're pretending Tom Homan is some kind of voice of calm and reason. He looks and sounds like someone who would be hitting Dick Tracy's knees with a hammer

yes we live in a “democracy” but we can’t actually defund ICE because you see they were once bestowed the Legitimacy Emeralds

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

I've been studying the history of US, and indeed, global policing my whole career and I can't make it more clear to law makers that this isn't a bastardization of policing, it is its purest form and logical conclusion. The impunity, militarization, deference, legitimacy, racial targeting, etc.

Huge scandal that Minneapolis has been crawling with terrorists this whole time. They've been living among us undercover as poets and nurses. And would've continued to, had it not been for the work of our bravest child kidnappers

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars

Not sure what international order you’ve been watching if you think it has ever been significantly “rules-based”

🇺🇸 La Maison Blanche publie une photo retouchée d’une manifestante anti-ICE arrêtée à Minneapolis ➡️ bit.ly/49A0eYO

One of the things that you learn very quickly by working in or around finance is that markets don't reflect reality, they reflect the desires of rich, white, straight, able-bodied men. Predictions markets are a way to do this to the rest of the world - reality as seen by Kendall Roy.

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

im not

Black folks and immigrants have long lived in a "perogative state" when it comes to law enforcement, and maybe pundits at the largest national outlets should recognize that their past support for punitive policing and immigration enforcement laid the groundwork for the current moment.

They still think this and will still keep on thinking this. Their belief is that if those resisting just let ICE “finish the job,” things will be so good that they will be proved right all along and even the white resisters will be grateful. It’s their version of Marxist false consciousness

we really need to fully comprehend the assumptions they made about us (if we find the lever that turns off DEI, every white American will gratefully throw off the shackles of multiracial democracy!) and get angry about it.

People love to say “the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 moved the cultural needle back to Trump” while seemingly oblivious to the fact that the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 took place while Trump was in power and immediately proceeded an election that he lost.

Aside from the bad faith mischaracterization of their content here, this also messes up the chronology. The “woke” social movements of the 2010s were strongest from 2014-2020—so, mostly while Trump was in power. Covid killed them.

Maybe think of this next time, before you give the peace prize to a very obviously bent fash crank baying for America to invade her country, depose its government and put her in charge

People read Larry McMurtry’s Lonesome Dove as romantic cowboy opera, but Call, arguably the main character, is a man utterly broken by his own history of relentless, mindless violence as a Texas Ranger

New: “This is the modern Fugitive Slave Act,” said a judge when describing ICE behavior nationwide.

They’ve lived for decades suckling at the teats of the Scaifes, Adelsons, Kochs, Musks and all the rest they think everyone does the same thing

bizarre how the most powerful institution in human history is announcing the american century of humiliation via YouTube upload, you know the site of Mr Beast

hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress

it's "awesome" how legislators are falling over themselves to pass bills to make us all upload our driver's licenses to every random app to "protect kids" while looking at the Suicide Encouraging CSAM Machines and offering their finest shrugs

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

My wife thinks Pat Sajak is a person. I don’t think he is a person, but that he is made out of people, like Soylent Green.

Again, from Michael Grynbaum, here is Sharyn Alfonsi's full email. It must be read:

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Do you notice how, the higher the evidence stacks up that our ruling class is basically just a gaggle of coercive arse-grabbers covering up for each other, the more extreme their terror of foreign sex criminals and transgenders lurking in toilet cubicles grows

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse
