To all the people angry that teenagers are protesting ICE during school hours: If they can practice active shooter drills and learn how to tourniquet their classmates, they’re entitled to an opinion on how they’re treated.

In the future we're gonna look back at online gambling and prediction markets in the same way we look now at cigarettes on airplanes and lead-based paint www.wsj.com/business/med...

These typos aren’t happening by accident—they result from a hollowing out of writing talent in the White House—and aren’t happening by accident.

It should be faster to stop killing people than to stop feeding them.

Okay, yes, she'll win that race.* * It is a race to Hell.

How dirt stupid do you have to be to say "Yeah let's fire the guy who wrote this" www.washingtonpost.com/sports/olymp...

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

Byron De La Beckwith was so racist that normal racists were like “Damn, Byron, bring it down a notch.” The man lived like he was competing in a racism contest.

Here’s a story published yesterday, the day before the current president posted a video depicting the first black U.S. president and First Lady as gorillas. mississippitoday.org/2026/02/05/m...

I wrote this the week after Trump was first elected in 2016 and it's still what I think. www.newamerica.org/education-po...

Lindsey Vonn tore her ACL last week. It's a debilitating injury that can take anywhere from six to nine months--hold up

This is…good. I’m sure I disagree with almost every second order conclusion that Oren would make as prescription but the diagnosis is pretty spot on (if it does necessarily gloss over all the foundational exploitation, but we are talking Econ here).

The Pitt is so dedicated to medical verisimilitude that it’s like a play where 1/3rd of the dialogue is performed in a foreign language. I find it oddly soothing.

The Post not only fired 300 talented hardworking journalists but they kept their dimwit libertarian columnist whose only real talent is dull but unerring instinct for being flagrantly wrong when it matters most

The glibness with which these people are dismissing what is, fundamentally, an extensive record of elite atrocities makes me think it’s better if I don’t finish this sentence

the number of academics who were in touch with Epstein really puts the (elite) backlash to Title IX's enforcement against sexual violence into perspective.

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

This guy will be remembered as an Epstein crony, a coward to fascism, and nothing else www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

The @washingtonpost.com, formerly a newspaper, fired its only theater critic today. We have one of the top 3 national theater markets outside NYC — scores of new productions every year. Why on earth do they think anyone who lives here would still subscribe? Dumb hot takes on politics?

MAGA is a movement of America haters who despise this country and are conspiring to destroy it

Looking forward to reading about this in the local oh that’s right

"Sorry something went wrong and we couldn't cancel my subscription" what went wrong is your newspaper went to hell and I'm not buying it anymore

I had to take vocational classes in school and didn't appreciate it then, but they remain the most useful classes ever and I wish I'd taken more. My latest for @newrepublic.com is about how championing career and technical edu could be a winning class message for Dems newrepublic.com/article/2061...

A brief, recent history of the Washington Post: 1- Trump wins in 2024. 2- Bezos and minions make series of Trump-friendly changes to paper. 3-Readership tanks. 4- Bezos and minions fire tons of employees while telling them the audience just doesn't like what they're doing.

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. https://ow.ly/jy8a50Y8kM3

Karl Marlantes is one of the great writers of our time ('Matterhorn' et al). I'm glad to say that he has been a friend for decades For him—USMC combat vet of Vietnam, author of unforgettable novel about combat—to write this, for NR, about Noem/Bovino/ICE/CBP cosplaying, is significant. Pls read

This is the U Penn donor who helped push the President out, pushed to eliminate arts & science offerings, and drafted Trumps "compact" with universities. People like Rowan repeatedly claimed the moral high ground to impose their agenda on students and faculty.

Since a lot of the coverage is omitting this detail: The Kennedy Center HAD a $250 million renovation and expansion just a few years ago, in 2019.

TIL "Melania" was produced by a guy who worked as a counselor at the same summer camp as me in the early '90s. Lanny Davis's son also worked there. Social structures are a thing.

incredibly funny how everyone spent a year hyperventilating about whether pizza with pepperoni was code for child rape when in reality actual emails between the pedophile cabal are like "i enoyjed molesting teen w yuo. haha"

always struck whenever i read anything from rufo how it is absolutely clear that he is a dumbass

It wasn’t enough for Stephen Miller that these American citizens were murdered by ICE and CBP, he had to slander them with lies after their deaths. Miller is a deranged, bloodthirsty bigot, and his policies put lives at risk every day he remains in power. Fire Stephen Miller.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

The freshly launched Alliance for Higher Education is working to stave off government overreach in higher ed, arguing it’s critical for democracy and college access. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

My latest for @newamerica.org: The Trump administration rerouted tens of millions of dollars that Congress set aside for student-support grants, including food and housing aid, to aspiring college accreditors—most of which are unlikely to serve a federal purpose. www.newamerica.org/education-po...

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

JD Vance Places Candle Outside Hooters Where ICE Agents Were Heckled

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

The Department of Homeland Security is murdering American citizens. Congress cannot allow that to continue. Getting these people out of Minnesota and cutting off funding should be a minimum response. This is an outrage and an assault on our rights and freedom and it must stop.

A special place in hell for everyone who gave us 30 years of school massacres and active shooter drills as the price for arming ordinary citizens against government tyranny.

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times, up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

They're going to keep ICE on the streets murdering and brutalizing people until one of them is killed. That's the mission. That's what the White House wants.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

To repeat: Abolish ICE.
