The shorter Opus Dei Court: the Civil War Amendments don't mean what they actually say, because protecting the voting rights of Blacks and Hispanics no longer serves the interests of the Republican Party.

I genuinely said "OH, NO." out loud

All Constitutional Law courses are hereby renamed WTF LOL 101

The combination of fascism covid more fascism genocide capitulation to fascism and the clear goal of AI tech bros to eradicate the workforce and make all jobs and future goals irrelevant as we all slide into poverty while eleven rich people become gods is really doing a number on us.

Holy shit just get gone off there if you still are on X. I'm not even gonna call it Twitter anymore because of how utterly bastardized Elon has made it over the past few years. It's like a serial killer wearing the face of its victim at this point.

Beautiful, beautiful thread on how to/the importance of learning how to do things that are harder for you than for your classmates

M Gessen on the genocide in Gaza and the West Bank. Gift link, no paywall #gaza #westbank #palestine #israel www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/o...

Do you have training in reality- & fact-checking? America is no longer open to you.

It's hard to pick from the rogues gallery of murderous ideas, but sometimes I feel the most dangerous thing about modern conservatism is its transparent desire to destroy the fabric of truth in daily life.

“the USPS must turn a profit” makes me want to set things on fire they put a clause in the fucking constitution about postal service, that’s how important it is nothing in there about “only if you can make money on it”

every single person in this story is a monster but the only one I have seen sustained defenses of is Nuzzi and I think everyone doing so needs to sit with the fact that her absolute mockery of the entire concept of journalism has a large and growing body count

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally. Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

We are invited to assume that the New York Times did not know what Epstein was telling Landon Thomas about Trump. I decline to extend that charity. If Epstein wanted the NYT to write about it, he should have made it about a Democrat and gotten a white nationalist hacker to leak it to them.

Somewhere out there someone who’s the best at what they do is terrified that they have imposter syndrome while a bunch of barely literate pedophiles are very calmly running the world

New York Times social media guidelines prohibit expression suggesting partiality on things like ICE, execution of foreigners in fishing boats, or whether law is a thing. However, tipping off notorious serial pedophiles about other reporters is absolutely fine.

Many people are asking: Is NYT publisher AG Sulzberger the CVXII mentioned in the Epstein Files?

The Sulzberger mentioned here might be this Sulz or it might be the dad, but either way, the conduct of the NYT is starting to make a lot more sense now

Why the NYT didn't report on their Epstein info is tangled up with another question: was Epstein a friend of the Sulzberger family? Epstein claims he first befriended NYT publisher "Punch" Sulzberger in the 1970s, when Sulzberger's daughter (age ~12) was at the prep school where Epstein taught. 1/

turns out the emails we should have been reading in 2016 were from the NYT

You can disagree and argue as much as you like but the point of evaluating something scientifically is that not every statement should be given equal credence because evidence matters

The people who empower Trump would never countenance any man being held to account for hurting girls. That would offend their whole notion of justice (the strong get to eat the weak)

Absolutely true If I have nothing constructive to say, I stay away That includes times of sheer exhaustion from living as a brown woman who deals professionally with trauma I am daily encouraged by those of you who put in the work to publicly uplift all of us

One of the better analogies for LLM/AI "writing"

We are truly living through a probably of national immiseration and national humiliation and I think the ramifications of that will be profound and long lasting. I don't think a nation so accustomed to stability and prosperity will respond mildly

Legendary work from @gabrielgeiger.bsky.social. He and a team uncovered a trove of data from a surveillance firm — location data from thousands of phone numbers from nearly every country on Earth. The firm had been tracking everyone from Erik Prince to journalists to Jared Leto.

to be clear, this is from an interview with *the Economist*

ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out wearing masks in unmarked cars with no uniforms or identification as law enforcement to abduct people, protesters keep dumping pounds of glitter on them so that everyone can tell they're ICE for days afterwards.

The central paradox of Trump II is that the American constitution has been hollowed out to create the most powerful executive in 250 years, for the benefit of an executive who is no longer meaningfully doing the job

this is exactly what's happening

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029. The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race. Can’t put the stakes any more clearly than that. boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

there is no infrastructure that can be built up in a few days’ time to replace SNAP and you all simply must let that sink in, fast

anyone who makes a point of regularly showing off his Totenkopf to DC clientele is at best an edgelord jackass

To be clear: I'm talking about the Vice President of the United States. And that should scare the shit out of you.

The thing about Nazis is their speech is all hate speech, all of it, not free speech, because Nazism is predicated on violence and contemporary Nazism is predicated on knowing about genocide and approving of it and wanting to do it again.

This is the nugget. There’s no ‘casual’ nazism. It’s not something you flirt with, or just hang out with someone who is. In a world of nuance, it’s a binary.

Vice President calls criticism "pearl clutching" while GOP leaders demand resignations over racist and violent content.

Here's another Kavanaugh stop in action. Agent says: "Why are you running?" Admitting that he had no cause to stop and tackle this boy.

It turns out that racial profiling in the real world doesn’t work the way it does in Brett Kavanaugh’s imagination.

people keep making comments about private equity buying up these farms, and, sure, maybe some of that happens, but there’s no market. the tariffs have vaporized the demand for these farms. it’s not a matter of buying up land and holding out until next year, that whole market is fucking toast.

No one in those three groups (assuming "violent criminals" means people who have been convicted of felonies) can vote in US elections. Apologies for pointing out the obvious, but we should remember that there was once a time when shameless lies like this would get people ostracized from public life.

I've recently been reminded that at least some of the immigrants that Abbot sent the Texas national guard to kidnap, are the same immigrants Abbott flew to Chicago in the dead of winter in flip flops and a t shirt to overwhelm the city. Instead Chicago residents clothed, fed and resettled them

Sure, 2025's No Kings protests are anti-American Like the original, the Boston Tea Party

"The richest man in the world and the owner of the most influential social media site in US politics is a nazi who openly supports and amplifies other nazis" would, on its face, seem to be rather newsworthy!

A man who works for the people overseeing America’s nuclear stockpile has lost his security clearance after he uploaded 187,000 pornographic images to a Department of Energy (DOE) network. Included AI-generated robot porn. www.404media.co/man-stores-a...
