At 105th chaos erupted when ICE agents allegedly crashed into an SUV. A crowd formed and objects were thrown. Pepper balls were shot into the crowd. Police arrived to try to have dialogue with the crowd when witnesses stated they began throwing rocks at ICE. ICE then deployed tear gas.

it’s insane how closely musktwitter usage correlates with crashing out and becoming a differently-flavored bari weiss, ben dreyfuss, or badempanada. it’s been happening over and over again for a year now and every single time it’s because of prolonged exposure to musktwitter.

clearly not Mondaire Jones!

More seriously, Latimer is, while a conservadem and probably below replacement for his district, actually a Democrat, not a fraud like Gottheimer, Gillen, or Suozzi.

legal academia is a weird mix of some of the best and most immediately actionable policy research about the impact of specific laws and procedures, and also bizarre poorly executed historiography/political theory by way of literary criticism, by people trained in none of those things

"we drilled down on the actual impact of Colorado state senate bill 486 on judicial clerk staffing levels in civil cases, using a discontinuity in the rollout to show that this increased judicial caseloads, leading to" vs. "what does the bill or rights even mean? here's a blog post of my takes"

feel like we've let it recede a little that Biden got unceremoniously knifed by all his closest friends and ideological allies because they were confronted with reams of polls showing Trump competitive or leading in New Mexico and New Jersey and Virginia

What does "Khamas" indicate from leftists? I've only seen it being used as a K[amala]H[arris] + Hamas "pun" from pro-Likud Republicans in 2024.

I’m not thrilled about Mills running for Senate at 77 either but getting Collins out is no joke and if Platner can’t win the primary he didn’t have the juice for the general anyway

BREAKING: Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza, accusing Hamas of violating ceasefire with slow release of dead hostages, AP sources say.

Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza over slow return of dead hostages, a test for the Gaza ceasefire

The tenuous ceasefire in the two-year Israel-Hamas war is being tested as complex issues remain a day after widespread jubilation over the return to Israel of the last 20 living hostages held in Gaza and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

the Aztec stereotype of the Purepecha was that they were sharp merchants and competent craftsmen with giant dicks who fought wars unfairly (with organized units which used ranged weapons and actually attempted to kill you). also they were funny. all of this was derogatory, by the way.

This is one of the more amusing statements someone has had to make to a major newspaper.

"Yudkowsky said in a statement “my understanding is that authorities from multiple Christian denominations have stated that Thiel’s views, identifying the Antichrist with proposals to regulate the AI industry, are not deemed by them to be compatible with conventional Christian belief.” Spokespeople for Thunberg did not respond to a request for comment."
