Laura Loomer got asked about one of my tweets in a deposition resulting in a shouting match and demanding an investigation over whether I'm actually Bill Maher

They're probably doing this because there's nothing particularly damning to worry about

Outside of Obama and arguably Bernie himself, nobody else is more responsible for how we ended up with Biden in 2020

Stopped by Substack Notes for the first time in a while and lol.

It’s funny that they won this concession but there are zero ford dealers in Japan (since 2016) and there is no internal market for them either. We won! Absolutely nothing!

Reading the "Andrew Cuomo is actively seeking Trump's endorsement" article

In 2016, as Chicago mayor, Emanuel banned city employees from making most trips at the city’s expense to North Carolina, which banned trans people from using the bathroom that aligned with their gender. He also backed an ordinance blocking any Chicago business from imposing similar bans.

Another mystery for the paper of mystery

"Should the government release all documents it has about the Jeffrey Epstein case" Yes: 79% No: 4% Yes Among: Democrats: 85% Independents: 76% Republicans: 75% YouGov / July 14, 2025

🥲

is that good

Not joking about this at all: if someone thinks it's appropriate to be cruel about young children drowning in a flash flood because it happened in a red state, they should not be allowed indoors. They should be out in the forest burying their own scat

Definitely the source you want pin your institutional reputation to as you open a pipeline for racist hackers to dump stolen personal information into the New York Times bsky.app/profile/lark...

Had a great time at the ballpark

nyt doing its usual thing of punishing its employees rather than reflecting on why they’re mad enough to speak out publicly

The asymmetry of Bouie having to delete posts for a bunch of journalists suffering zero consequences for horrifically unethical journalism is peak

should a brown man be mayor? We asked a eugenicist

Looks very similar to attacks on Black scholars. *Complaint of some sort of academic misconduct *Rufo and Times boost the story, giving it legitimacy *Complainant turns out to be a eugenicist! Congrats everyone!

Mahmood was in pan-African nationalist movements in the 70s until Idi Amin expelled Indo-Ugandans? Zohran’s dad gave him the middle name Kwame to honour the first President of Ghana? idk maybe three white American journalists aren’t the best ones to opine on whether or not he’s African.

apropos of nothing, resharing this from @laurawags.bsky.social "The union representing NYT employees accused the company of targeting employees with Middle Eastern or North Af. backgrounds in an investigation into leaks from its newsroom regarding the paper’s coverage of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks"

Huge get, here. I know a lot of people will tell you to "eat shit" and "get fucked" but I think it's a good lesson in why it's important for a science reporter to be sourced up in the Anonymous Twitter Eugenicist community. So you can write important stories like this in the New York Times.

Four very strange things: - Freelancer who is not a Metro regular as a lead byline on a City Hall story; - Opting to not name a polemicist source who's already been identified; - Opting to publish despite not getting in; - Opting to publish despite no repetition in any of his campaigns.

The thing I can't get over, with the Zohran NYT story, is that the article just doesn't say anything. There is no news. I have a lot of critiques of the Times, you all see me post them, but I have never before seen a story that just actually has no news item or obvious takeaway at all

This story should not have been published. They hint at an accusation (Mamdani said he is black to get into a fancy college) they can't back up. That this was published tells me that Mamdani's most important opponent may not be Cuomo or Adams but a paper whose NEWS section will run stuff like this.

SCOOP: Mamdani did something even we are forced to concede wasn't what it we are also making it sound like, to no tangible gain, for a college he didn't go to, 15 years ago. Our anonymous source is political activist Adolf Hitler

A disgraceful story. The absolute disregard and hostility the power centers of our country exhibit towards young people is part of the story of this time. And the NYT caught the car on affirmative action. So now begins the process of retroactively excavating race-conscious admissions. Awful.

You know, when I heard that all of our personal data had been hacked, I didn't expect the first major use of it to be the NYT trying to fuck over Zohran but maybe I'm naive www.nytimes.com/2025/07/03/n...

Hours after ICE became the highest federal law enforcement agency in America history (and likely in world history), the Supreme Court lifts the last obstacle to ICE deporting people to any random country around the world, even in conflict zones or where migrants are enslaved.

the republican party is a modern day Slave Power and the only way forward for this country is to sweep it into the ash heap of history

These people genuinely hate you

it's still just so incredible how much worse this outcome is than if trump would have just won in 2020. it boggles the fucking mind. i will never get over that

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Hard to overstate what a disaster the New York Democratic Party has been for the rest of the nation

A big reason Dems don't control the House right now—and this murderous spending bill is possible—is Andrew Cuomo, who fucked New York's congressional redistricting as governor and helped lose us seats in Congress. www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/06...

And yea he’s what the trigger law would do just in North Carolina. 600k lose insurance Utah has a similar trigger law. Other states do to

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.

Ok that’s it this is a concerted group effort there is no denying it. The Dem establishment got together in a back room and said “how are we gonna stop this man from making change in the party he is too dangerously progressive and popular.” And then they all agreed “use the Jews.”

I am beyond done with the casual racism and hysteria infesting the centrists in this party

Democratic congresswoman Laura Gillen says of Mamdani: "His comments about intifada, calls for violence against Jewish people, it's really inappropriate for someone like that to lead the city of New York."

Frontrunner for most psychotic post of the year
