I keep thinking about John McCain and how one man saved many lives with a gesture. 👎 And how there's no one left on that side strong enough to do the same when far more is at stake.

It's important to note for the consultant people: Kat is tied for first place, she's raised more money in this race than anyone else, and she hasn't used Twitter in months. It's a website filled with racist AI snuff films and it's rigged against you specifically. There's no good reason to use it.

He hates Arabs because an Ottoman broke his heart.

This to me is the biggest issue. These men spoke at grave risks to their own safety about being beaten, raped, and tortured at the order of the President of the United States. All of Weiss's odes to free speech and "dangerous ideas" is and has always been horseshit

“The reason why we are still reviewing documents and still continuing our process is simply…to protect victims,” Blanche told Welker. That claim does not survive even minimal scrutiny." open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

For years, people have lodged complaints about Tesla’s doors. With no official statistics, Bloomberg did its own analysis on the number of fatal crashes in the US in which door functionality played a role. Read more: bloom.bg/49tm0fF 📷️: Getty Images

A lady I knew who had the hots for a guy in her office. She threw a baby shower for him and purposely misspelled the girlfriend's name in the cake Congratulations Erica 🍼

But what if your spouse died and, at the same time you found out, you heard Shania Twain say, "Let's go girls."

"cite your sources" is not just an externally-imposed mandate but a personal discipline on thought itself. "cite your sources" is how you keep yourself in contact with reality. "cite your sources" is how you keep yourself from shadowboxing your own imagination."

In the summer of 1950 most US newspapers ran an AP story about how race had become the main issue in the upcoming Georgia governor's race. Segregationist Herman Tallmadge, governor from '47 to '55 and then a Senator until 1981 made a name for himself by refusing to "apologize for being a white man."

If it'd been his son Louis CK jacked to instead of two young women, I don't think sexually abusive behavior would be nearly as funny to David.

Chicago is having none of this administration's BS.

“The Supreme Court decided not to have a Christmas party for 12 straight years because the justices couldn’t agree on whether to invite the Court’s Black employees” is about as tidy an encapsulation of the Supreme Court’s whole deal as I can think of

WASHINGTON (AP) — At least 16 files from Epstein release disappeared from DOJ webpage, including photo of Trump, with no explanation.

This is potentially a massive cover-up. Where is the corporate-owned legacy media that claims it exists to expose government corruption? www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Ah. Hello, Mr President.

Yep, my sense is that Vance is the figurehead for the less-obviously-Nazi wing to push ethnonationalism into the mainstream.

Lmao they're gonna send you back for founding Hartford

Donald Trump is on a renaming spree. It’s now up to media, internet platforms, and other institutions to decide what to call the Kennedy Center. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

As a GenX child of the ‘80s raised by popular culture to hate and beware of evil Russi@, N@zis, and p*d*ph*les in white vans, these are strange days, indeed. I am waiting for the imminent popularization of mixing soda with pop rocks, jumping into quicksand, and visiting the Bermuda Triangle.

I don't generally watch pro sports on TV, but if my cousin Adam or the Mom with the hair at daycare was on the team, I'd watch whatever sport that was. I would need equal coverage of the pros and the regulars. I want stats. Biometric data. I would schedule plans around watching that.

Dear Getty Images, You aren't going to let the get away with that, are you? This isn't parody. It doesn't fall into fair use. Sincerely, Everyone.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

finally told our eight-year-old that Jesus Christ was invented by the music industry to pump a Mariah Carey album that might've gone diamond even without him

The heavy hitter liars of X are pushing Georgia stolen election rumors equating procedural violation around election workers signing tabulator machine tapes, to missing signatures on mail-in ballots. They’re playing clips of the Trump-Raffensperger call as if it was normal. No Community Notes.

Open question: when Frosty says “I’ll be back again someday,” does it mean— a. Frosty will exist in a null state until golemed into being once more b. Frosty is a herald of Revelation and will return when the seals break c. Frosty must yield to the bhavachakra until his karmic debts are paid

Men might be terrible at friendships. Me and my barber just realized we didn't know each other names after 3 years of haircuts. Which makes me wonder what the hell he's been calling me in his head?

Legitimation crises happen slowly, then all at once.

That was fast.

By essentially redacting most photos but Epstein and Bill Clinton, the DOJ is further undermining any pretense that the agency is anything other than a Trump goon squad. And for what, bc this ploy is not going to pass muster with victims.

when conservarives told me shit like "kids cant consent to healthcare" to argue for banning puberty blockers i didn't think they actually meant all healthcare

ICE whistles work.

Huh

Teaching students that a good historian digs past the moment that their assumptions are confirmed is so important!

As a side note: it’s actually very useful for explaining why historical language matters - I pair it with having them look up modern legal terms in Victorian court records online and asking them to attempt to explain why or why not they are able/unable to find records containing those terms

Cops are great www.thedailybeast.com/ice-leader-t...

The Kennedys are pretty horrible but I think consequences should be limited to the traditional ones like getting shot, this seems a bit over the line

It's an evil we will be judged for in perpetuity. It physically hurts; I am ashamed of my government's actions in my marrow.

Reminding everyone for no particular reason that Section 230 is one of the last things standing between free speech online and Trump having control over everything you see and say on the internet
