a widowed veteran remarried after losing his first wife to cancer has his new wife taken by ICE and he ends up starting a support group after meeting others in the military who had the same thing happen to them. the trauma being inflicted on these families is just incalculable.

“America’s Polarization Has Become the World's Side Hustle” too many people just focus on supply side of foreigners using tech for disinformation. Its the demand side - American society is broken yet wealthy - that makes it a business model www.404media.co/americas-pol...

I wrote much of this several months ago, about Ezra Klein's response to the Kirk assassination, and then never ended up publishing it, but I think this UO "controversy" is a such a perfect example of how TPUSA et al actually advance conservative power that I decided to revive and rewrite it.

Loved this idea. Reading is nowadays often practiced individually and in silence, but we learn how to read by being read aloud and reading aloud ourselves. Teaching students the different ways of reading should not stop once they can decode long sentences. #reading

Trump just commuted the 7-year sentence of David Gentile, a private equity leader who helped defraud thousands of people out of some $1.6 billion, almost as soon as his prison stint began. "I lost my whole life savings," one person wrote, adding, "I am living from check to check."

Taiwanese ambassador to Finland performs with his metal band at Taiwan-Finland cultural event! 🤘✊️ That's what I call great ambassador

Theres a thing status quo tax folks do that implies leftists or libs cant ponder tax reform or tax policy so must believe in an absolute flat tax policy of tax everyone to the max, period You see it in the replies here that are chuckling that a zohran small business policy must mean he's reagan now

They’re burying the weirdest part of this story, which is that this congressman’s twin brother keeps trying and failing to replace him in various jobs and is now hoping to replace him in this one

Look at these suckers. Not me. Thats why i bought JD Vances PWEASE memecoin when he endorsed it and i have never checked on it since. I'm sure its been a lucrative decision.

Hitler was bad. An essay that, you know, I didn’t think I’d need to write.

Huh what nation in Lincoln’s time had 11 states

This ones better/worse

Makes this 'drug boat' obsession seem even less on the level, if that's possible

“Biden Asylum Cases” is NYT’s framing for a story pegged to a man who got asylum 3 months into the Trump administration www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/u...

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

ICE DETAINED MARILYN. Fuck these people. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?

This is a really sick story. From everything I know, Boston’s Logan Airport is a legitimately dangerous place to travel through. abcnews.go.com/US/19-year-c...

Campbell’s fires executive who was recorded saying company’s products are for ‘poor people’

While the Trump admin claims troops have been deployed to make cities safer & to protect Trump’s immigration interests, the use of the military against civilians protesting ICE’s presence is itself unprecedented and, in many cases, has helped further stoke violence and unrest, rather than prevent it

I look forward to the AI hit country song entity picking a beef with the AI generated christian soul artist with a second AI hit called "try that again in an even smaller town" Until a hologram artist shoots another hologram artist, are we really being entertained? Get it together AI

@yrfatfriend.bsky.social Got a live one! Milk cases are up there with banana peel slipnfalls and railroad licensee/trespass injury (usually kids) in terms of early foundational 20th century litigation that you get to read in law school no one else cares about anymore

At the Supreme Court, a private prison company is seeking a ruling that could help all government contractors evade liability. More on the case: bit.ly/4pfafj2

Speaking of natl guard deployed to urban centers, there has to be a reckoning behind using crime as a pretext for spending millions of $$$ on attempted "violence? Add fed violence" teen boy solutions to problems. She shouldnt have to fundraise but we need the $ for ice/bp, to "help" chicago. 😵‍💫

Curious to see how this impacts recruitment/morale because its a classic "i shouldnt even be there" situation where Trump isnt even there! He's in his florida resort while you are shot for no reason when DC domestic law enforcement exists and this isnt your gig. Pointless all around.

That photo is something else

Thanks to Democrats like Ruben "why aren't women hot anymore" Gallego, who voted for the Laken Riley bill, this young woman cannot be released on bail while her appeal is pending. She's in Lumpkin, GA.

Taxpayers have shelled out nearly $71 million for Trump's golf hobby since he retook office — and he's on track to exceed an eye-popping figure

Searching for more ways to prevent women from recieving robust and well funded reproductive health options. Awesome priority.

These abuses of those who are *literally doing everything right & legally* was the breaking point for my wife

Trump's crypto company promoted a coin called ‘Shit Piss Skin Can’ this week. The name comes from one of the company's founders, who said you could sell “shit in a can, wrapped in piss, covered in human skin” for a billion dollars.

Im not an almost historian, but a few lifetimes ago, an almost attorney (passed the bar, had AG internships and owned a suit and everything 😁) and i related to this way too much. contingentmagazine.org/2022/06/10/t...

"Its hard out there for the people it's easy for." Cannot love that line more

“Forget the sex; the real scandal here is the crime against language. We may be facing the biggest plot twist in this entire story: What if Nuzzi isn’t a good writer after all? What if, as a friend texted me, the true hero of this 15-act opera is whoever was editing her pieces at New York?”

After the @ifbookspod.bsky.social Sapiens ep mentioned yuvals "take" on colonialism and cricket, this is a good chaser to wash it down.

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.

What time do you get in?

My concern is, Is cheesecake pie?

Chicago launched a program this year that lets police file felony gun charges without getting a prosecutor’s approval. Two of the police officers who have overseen many cases under this program have 59 misconduct complaints between them.

The Des Moines Register published an op-ed by a man who believes in the great replacement theory and wrote for Vdare. The op-Ed argues no immigrant can be vetted enough to be safe to enter this country. White washing racism in the name of local journalism.
