Fascism occurs twice: first as the tragedy of a Second World War started by men who fought the First and knowingly chose slaughter, then as the farce of an ignorant draft dodger trying to provoke a war against his own people.

it is just a straightforward statement of fact to say that the trump administration sees any black student at an elite institution as one too many

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

"history is also going to remember the cowards who definitely knew better but still let things happen—whether it was for money, convenience, or just comfort. Use ... the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away: F**k you. Make me.”" www.pajiba.com/news/john-ol...

Thanks John Oliver

Me and my friends tried to imagine what life is like in NYC in the world of Marvel comics or something where you have regular monster attacks. What we came up with is that you could rent a 2/2 in Manhatten for maybe $500/mo, but your insurance would be $60k a year. You'd miss work a lot too.

Hey remember last fall, when members of the press credulously reported that Trump would increase high-skilled immigration? This will end it pretty much entirely. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This is the part of my I-was-a-teenage-right-wing-activist phase that's always been hardest for me to talk about, because even people who've written about and researched anti-abortion violence weren't insiders in a world where middle schoolers were talking about the ethics of justifiable homicide.

It's sobering, in its way, to realize that there was truly nobody (save, perhaps, his children) who knew him that loved him as a man. He made himself into content, and he died as content, and his funeral is the most content of all. Soundbites to soundbites, bits to bits

I beg of you, please, do not make me have to defend Bill Maher from government censorship

i genuinely do think a big part of triangulation discourse is people avoiding that inflation was the biggest pain point for swing voters

Historians have long found that more open societies tend to be more successful. They attract talent, self-motivated achievers, & new ideas. Was it good or bad that Einstein found a home here? By contrast, peaceful immigration never destroyed any society. Xenophobia is both vile & self-destructive.

New from me: There's a lot of misinformation around the reasons I was fired from WaPo. Here's the official termination letter I got sent by Washington Post. Read and judge for yourself. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Republicans have no issues using they/them when talking about what one single person did to Charlie Kirk.

The GOP nominee in a Virginia state House race this fall has dropped out. He says he lost his government contracting job and has no income, so he's had to take a job out of state & move away. That's... literally what Dems are campaigning on to win VA. www.princewilliamtimes.com/news/gop-nom...

The good part about Republicans being so consistently stupid is Vance or any of the other Nazi pedophiles in the GOP trying to ban any liberal organizations will only make them infinitely more popular on a national and even global scale, overflowing their bank accounts in donations. GOP is weak.

From an Atlantic editor. I cannot get over how the entire centrist hivemind is attempting to wish into existence a person, and a movement, that does not exist. You are journalists, you are supposed to describe things as they are, not how you want them to be!

Elon Musk spoke by video to Tommy Robinson's anti-immigrant rally in the UK today. "You're in a fundamental situation here where, whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you," said Musk. "You either fight back or you die."

Musk is fully behind political violence and the mainstream press will pretend this didn't just happen

There is no public information indicating that the roommate was trans, just a "law enforcement source" saying that he had an (unidentified) trans partner, which could mean they have information we don't or that they're just making stuff up or that he has long hair and they just Assumed.

the right will continue to raise their fascistic ideology and lust for blood, the pendulum must swing back. it will happen. how do you sustain a society that makes it dangerous to be online or function in public? this cannot last

📌“By treating the death of Kirk as some “political assassination” instead of yet another preventable gun death among tens of thousands in this country, our media is providing fuel to a fire that Republicans would like to burn out of control. Their coverage has been ABSURD to the point of dangerous."

Oh so fun fact, today we found out the details about Ken Paxton’s affair he’s been having. Not the first affair. The one where he tried to hire his mistress and then got impeached for it, but a different affair with a Christian influencer. His wife is divorcing him now So like, fuck this guy

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

I think a genuine issue is a lot of elites genuinely do hold the election of Trump proves that there was a populist mandate to overturn ths social progress of 2016-2024.

they think liberalism is a set of rules for a discourse game, and not a fighting faith and a vision of the good

this is fundamentally about america's liberal elites not having the courage of their convictions, if they have convictions to begin with. they fetishize endless discussion and discourse and refuse to simply act.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

Obviously, there's bigger news happening right now, but Senate Republicans just voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every Democrat voted to release them. Susan Collins was the deciding vote to protect Trump and others named in the files.

Guy who declared war on Chicago shocked by violent political rhetoric. And the mainstream media is going to carry all of their water.

Now that we know dinosaurs had blood, it's only a matter of time until paleontologists find evidence of vampire dinosaurs who feasted on that blood, and of Blade dinosaurs who fought the vampire dinosaurs.

So many words for being french these days

A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial: that is, when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud. George Orwell

Bluesky right now ...

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
