ⓘ Readers added context: Matt Taibbi wrote a pedophile tourism book about Russia
The Twitter Files were the most scandalous and important documents ever but the ones about prominent politicians and members of the elite being pedophiles? Yawn

Ana Kasparian says it's "shocking" that Steve Bannon is in the Epstein files and was close with Epstein.

AK: "Bannon's been one of the loudest voices in releasing the files, and that makes me think maybe he didn't think it was ever gonna happen."

It’s a footnote next to all the atrocities they committed, but the Khmer Rogue murdering a Scottish Communist who had gone there to praise Pol Pot is quite something! 😳 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm...

While tankies are known for being generally unpleasant, this one really seems to take the cake by calling all Democratic candidates "Hitler" and accusing them of causing holocausts. Meanwhile, they are outright shilling Russia and other countries that hate the West.

As I said early with respect to ICE giving starlight tours, there's an open question whether this is convergent evolution of police sadism, or if some deranged little Milleresque freak is playing the greatest hits.
This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Reading about the Eastern Front in WWII will make you feel innumerate.

First couple months the Red Army loses 2.5-3M casualties & prisoners. But they had another 4M men mobilizing. But the panzer groups were clocking 30 and 40-mile days.

The scale is just impossible to grasp.

Just hit my first example of someone who could not distinguish between descriptive and normative.

Truly fascinating, and a good reminder that even they are probably more literate than average, given their presence on a text-based platform.

This is extremely powerful anecdata in favor of the notion that the US health care consumer subsidizes medical advances for the rest of the world.
In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

But???he volunteered???

Was he ok with the war as long as he was winning, or
Platner's explanation:

'In a statement made to Politico, Platner said he was “f—king around on the internet at a time when I felt lost and very disillusioned with our government who sent me overseas to watch my friends die.”'

I'm Asian American. Nazi shit and racist shit and misogynist shit freaks me out because I stand in solidarity with everyone else who's a target of bigotry in this country. So yes, Platner alarms the hell out of me. I wish he alarmed the hell out of the New Republic.

I'll also say that Platner's past posts about political violence are the kinds of things that would make me distrust any fellow activist I might be considering working with today. It's not serious and it's dangerous. That's fedposting, not shitposting, friends.

Isn't it fascinating how quickly the discussion of concrete policy accomplishments and legislative/executive history immediately turns into "BUT BUT PODCAST"?

Not antisemitic so much as eyebrow raising. Of course, you and I know Christ is the Greek rendering of “anointed one,” identical to the Hebrew moshiach/messiah, but I somehow think she just figures Jews believe in Jesus. Such field expertise very wow. Anyway thanks for the screenshots folks. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Unless you let them implement their preferred policies on reproductive rights (those of Ireland in the 1950s), they will support the right in every election & then mewl about getting right-wing governance.
