Right-wingers are always whining about George Soros this and that, but as of today, Elon Musk had 104 times Soros's wealth, and spent more money to sway the 2024 election than anyone has ever spent on any election in the history of the world. So all those Gomers can fuck right off.

If you've never reported a rape and been horribly mishandled by the state and authorities, I do not think I or any other victim ever need you to ask why victims don't report.

Go look up your state's backlogged rape kits before you speak to me on this subject.

Today at school dismissal, I followed a suspicious pickup around for a bit, keeping an eye on them, trying to figure out if they were ICE. Then I realized they were keeping an eye on me also. Then I realized they were, in fact, other parents. Life in Minnesota, January 2026.

Tigrayans in northern Ethiopia fear a return to all-out war, 3 years after the last devastating conflict in the region. Fighting broke out again last week in a disputed area of western Tigray. The civil war of 2020-2022 killed more than 600,000 people.

Quips aside, seems fair to say that certain strains of 21c journalism, pop-sociology, pop-neuroscience—the post-Gladwell, TED talk-adjacent, "counterintuitive thinking" industrial complex, w/its market-friendly parables & tech-utopian visions—laid some intellectual groundwork for today's nightmare?

This is how Tom Homan reacts to losing a court case to free a medically fragile 5-year-old who was used as bait to lure his dad so they could be imprisoned in a measles factory. Fuck any de-escalation stories that come out.

OP-ED: "Across the United States — in detention centers, jails, and emergency departments — nurses are providing care to individuals who have been harmed not by strangers or partners, but by law enforcement and immigration officers."
OP-ED: When violence wears a mask and badge
Most of us imagine violence as something personal, a crime between individuals, an assault that happens in the shadows.

The only thing that has ever stood in the way of the president building a big gaudy ballroom, is an understanding that the powerful would defer to self-appointed experts.

And now we see what a bad system that was.
White House Architecture Was an Honor System. Trump Noticed.
For 125 years, informal norms constrained what a president could do to one of the nation’s most famous landmarks.

The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.

An emerging trend is statewide Texas Dem candidates basing a lot of their pitch on having flipped a seat in 2018. So it's odd to me how rarely media notes their performance vs. Beto in those districts. Allred ran 4 points under O'Rourke; Talarico ran 9 under.

Everything they do aims to take away our agency. They want a society of drones that pushes buttons and keeps the money flowing all while having the lost the self awareness to see what's happening all around them. Like the Lego movie except nothing is awesome.

the logical conclusion to everything the republicans are saying and doing is violent ethnic cleansing. you cannot believe “the west” is under siege by immigrants and come to a “reasonable” or “peaceful” resolution with “people who disagree with you” in society from that starting point.
