Kids: Study political science to learn about thermostatic backlash (and keep up on polling data if you want to make broad assertions about public opinion)

This *month*

Insanity. The Trump Admin says it’s “combatting antisemitism” - but here again, that’s a lie - since they’re trying to ban an Afghan researcher who literally *studies online antisemitism.*

The unreality machine is already normalizing an open Nazi as a potential presidential candidate. Shane Gillis is Rogan 2.0 in the worst way possible and that needs to get very clear to people very fast.

Well... yeah.

Yes, everything is shittier, more expensive, and more and more stuff requires you to pay a subscription shakedown fee to operate it, but hey, the sloplords are richer!

It's incredible how much of this stuff is just out in the open, but because Trump said "Russiagate hoax!" 5000 times, the media was brainwashed into treating it like a nothing story instead of one of a ten alarm scandal

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

There are only two offenses the Constitution goes out of its way to specifically say merit impeachment, and this is one of them.

We don't have to let like 10 sloplords suck up all the water with soulless facilities that create a negligible amount of permanent jobs, pollute the environment with noise, and drive up electricity prices while the president carries out a fatwa against wind power. My god, everything's so stupid.

Gaza on Christmas Eve. Israeli troops blow up homes of displaced Palestinian families today Reminder: The ceasefire went into effect more than 2 months ago.

"Like Amazon Prime, but with human beings."

And here's some of this pyramid scheme as reported in the press as victims recruited other victims. #doj #epstein files. www.justice.gov/multimedia/C...

Florida cops are the secondary villains in these files. Victims, their mothers and their stepmothers reported abuse in real time and the cops did nothing for years. 😒👮‍♀️🚔

concentration camps.

Can I get a hell yeah:

Turning Point USA was founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk and Bill Montgomery Two of their major policy pushes were a more prominent gun culture and zero COVID restrictions Bill Montgomery died to the COVID virus Charlie Kirk died to gun violence

Prison guards: - Watched a woman experiencing psychosis gouge out her own eyeballs. - Ignored a man’s beeping insulin pump for more than 24 hours before he died. - Left a man sitting in his own feces not eating for weeks, he lost 60 lbs before he died. All in San Diego County, last ~5 years.

Across the nation, families are gathering in joy and safety, thanks to those who fought for our freedom. What did veterans get as a holiday gift from the President? A targeted, dangerous abortion ban, issued quietly overnight. It's unconscionable. This entire administration should be ashamed.

(also, not to be a downer but … this) This ruling is a big deal; the deployment of the guard was awful, harmful, and autocratic. But SCOTUS isn’t all good now!!

literally fuck anyone who doesn’t see at this point that it’s an organized nationwide effort to make trans people unemployable. every trans person they push out of public life is a win for them & a whole hell of a lot of cis people need to start stepping up and saying fuck off to freaks like this.

Marxists: AI is a technology for capital to crush labor power and take control of everything. Sensible people: this is doomerism and hysteria. Navarro: AI is a technology for us to crush labor power and take control of everything.

“Oops, sorry, I thought everyone would name the weird racial profiling stops that get people thrown in concentration camps after somebody else.”

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

It is. You can actually search visible text on the redacted documents and the completely UNredacted document appears in the results 😭

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Epstein to Larry Nassar in 2019: "Our president [Trump] also shares our love of young nubile girls"

when some people choose between a weekly injection or daily pill to regulate their hormones so as to align their body with their desired appearance i guess it's no big deal

1 - the exec branch can't decline to spend $ Congress appropriated 2- the fed govt can't use federal $ to extort states over policy/political disagreements 3-the fed govt can't use federal $ to impose conditions unrelated to the funding program 4-the fed govt can't use federal $ to coerce states

"the researchers found that withdrawing support for rapidly advancing mRNA vaccine technology could result in over 49,000 preventable deaths annually among patients diagnosed with four major cancers"

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Wrong. The First Amendment protects our right to record law enforcement activity in public — full stop.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.

NEW: Statement from some Epstein survivors: "It is alarming that the United States Department of Justice, the very agency tasked with upholding the law, has violated the law, both by withholding massive quantities of documents, and by failing to redact survivor identities.."

The Vice President gave one of the most nakedly racist speeches by an elected official in recent memory and I wouldn't have heard about it if I wasn't on this site.

I genuinely feel awful for this guy’s brown kids

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head. That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Thinking today about this sentence: "Every $100 increase in median rent is associated with a 9 percent increase in the estimated homelessness rate, according to a 2020 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office."

"On the neo-Nazi far-right, adoption of AI-voice cloning software has already become particularly prolific, with several English-language versions of Adolf Hitler’s speeches garnering tens of millions of streams across X, Instagram, TikTok, and other apps."

A good many people need to get sued for libel in the aftermath of the late ridiculousness. You can see one such fellow below.

If you think beef prices are high now, wait until this gets to the US

He isn’t right often, but Rand Paul is right about Venezuela policy.

Yikes.
