We wanted to understand how rugged English-Scots-Irish culture has shaped America. So we talked to three white South African billionaires at a sex party in the Bahamas.

Literally nobody should be surprised that @kellen.bsky.social got his marching orders from NYT politics and will run their bullshit, only amped up.
Who needs Axel Springer, or Fox News, or Newsmax when you have @nytimes.com politics team?
Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

That is 5 rounds. 7 yards. First time my daughter ever held a gun.

IF she keeps it up, we'll be looking for something smaller.
But that's the first 5 rounds EVER.

Weren't the Spartans defeated by a bunch of (checks notes) possibly gay Thebans at Leuctra? I wonder if the Thebans had a 'don't ask, don't tell' rule? In any case it's great to see these people continuing to cook their brains on X.

I think at this point, directly asking Trump "did you rape any middle schoolers with your best friend of 15 years Jeffrey Epstein, and if so, how many, when, and where?" would not be improper for a reporter.
Massie: "Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these people in NYC and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent. But he's not. He's still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration."

the single most celebrated holiday in the world is various countries observing a national holiday to mark when they kicked the English out
I thought disliking the English was the shared culture for all the world’s people

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.

After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

American culture of the 1840’s would have been *very fucking surprised* to see the Irish considered as co-founders.

Elon’s an ahistorical dipshit, but its always worth saying some stuff out loud: if you‘re a fellow Irish-American and you aren’t 100% pro-immigrant, you’re a fucking embarassment.
1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

Business conservatives liked the old way because it gave them the best of both worlds. They could always threaten a worker with a call to ICE, but ICE wasn’t just showing up on its own all the time to reduce their head count unexpectedly. They probably thought Trump was going to do more of that.

The deal was: they demagogue about “illegal aliens,” they militarize the border, they deport people who get reported by their bosses… but they don’t actually go looking for undocumented workers at farms, in kitchens, or on job sites. It was there to discipline labor, not create a shortage of it.

The number of people on here who refuse to engage with what somebody actually says and instead pick fights with people they've made up in their own heads is mind-blowing.
It's also disturbing, because people who refuse to deal with the world as it is are not capable of making the world they'd want.

Another reminder. Anne Frank and her sister Margot didn't die in gas chambers. They died of Typhus due to overcrowding at Bergen-Belsen women's camp, which also experienced outbreaks of tuberculosis and typhoid fever.
A reminder this happened earlier this week at Trump’s massive concentration camp in El Paso:

“The cases of tuberculosis and COVID-19, two diseases that spread through the air, have underscored concern about the conditions at Camp East Montana and other immigration detention centers.“

You cannot reform this.
Burn ICE to the ground, piss on the ashes, and salt the earth.
Then build a professional agency with standards and accountability to accomplish the critical mission they were supposed to be doing.
Courts say ICE broke the law—thousands of times. The abuse continues anyway. This isn’t enforcement. It’s systemic disregard for constitutional rights, enabled and defended by the Trump regime. Republicans are treating the Constitution like toilet paper.

I call bullshit on the DOJ release of names in the Epstein files

They are including names that show up in press clippings that Epstein happened to forward or that were forwarded to him!

This is a ploy to cover for the fact that Trump's name is REALLY in the files--& a smear of innocent people

New in PN: Trump is clowning his evangelical base

"Trump now knows religious conservatives and their motivations well enough that he doesn’t feel a need to perform anymore. Like his supporters, he’s stopped pretending he’s anything but his worst self."
