1. Yessss.

2. Has anyone done a demographic analysis of who Trump calls "low IQ"? Because I'm pretty sure the racism would be self-evident.

The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:

The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

The Constitution: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

The Supreme Court: "We'll clear up this uncertainty!"

The U.S. State Department is repeating a white nationalist conspiracy theory.

On Friday, it claimed that “mass migration poses an existential threat to Western civilization.”

That line comes straight from the Great Replacement myth: the lie that immigration is a plot to erase white populations.

I cannot believe how horrific this thing is. It looks like the award for Best Zombie.

Infantino is too sycophantic to troll Trump, so did someone else troll Infantino?

The hepatitis B vaccine had been recommended for all newborns since 1991.

From 1990-2019, acute hepatitis B infections reported among children and teens fell 99 percent. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/w...
Breaking: After contentious debates and three failed attempts at a vote, a federal vaccine committee decided on Friday to end the decades-long recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B.

This wildly tacky World Cup draw is a grimly fascinating preview of what happens if the aesthetics of fascism finally get their way.

Deep cuts I've always loved:
- Clinton Deploys Vowels to Bosnia
- God Answers Prayer of Paralyzed Little Boy; ‘No’, Says God
- Holy Shit, Man Walks On Fucking Moon

Elevated to memetic shorthand are:
- long national nightmare
- no way to prevent this
- vs. no it's not
- 10:58 lunch
- five blades

"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

There, with the grace of God, goes he.
In 2017, Trump called up Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte to tell him what a great job he was doing with the drug problem. Duterte told the media Trump said he did it "the right way"

Duterte is awaiting trial in Hague right now for what he did.

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I hope he gets the help he needs. It sounds like he's trying to deflect from the failures that he's had as president ... he's fought to be the head of the pedophile protection party."

I'm having a really hard time formulating a moral response to this that doesn't advocate for defensive violence.
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

One thing I always want to ask these masculinity entrepreneurs is why men can’t look to women as role models, and can’t see in women models of human virtue and thriving that are worth emulating. After all, women look to men for these all the time.

She shouldn't have to keep doing this by herself. She is supposedly a member of a political party and every single one of her *colleagues* should be BLASTING the fascist in chief. ALL OF THEM. Where is the solidarity???

Striking to see this and recall the weeks-long news cycle over *leaked* audio of Obama *privately* alleging some conservative voters “cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

There are 75,977 people born in Somalia who are now citizens of the United States, including those specific people.

He is talking about US citizens. He is talking about *us*.

The truth is that none of us are garbage, and the job of the US president is to represent all of us.

We, the people.
Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."

Vital article about the military background and resettlement difficulties of the National Guard shooter.

This situation has less to do with Afghans and immigration vetting than with poverty, mental health, and military trauma.
