IQ is a measure of how good you are at IQ tests, which is something informed by how familiar you are with taking academic tests (& thus the quality of your school, which is in part determined by your parents' wealth, etc). there's nothing in particular that makes them a good test of intelligence

I think the most disgusting part of this is that all of these journalists are complicit in the reality distortion apparatus that allowed this to happen and now get to profit off the pain and suffering they caused and face no consequences at all. like, remember dan rather? that should be every journo
Marimar Martinez is a US citizen who was shot by ICE five times in Chicago.

She was then arrested, labelled a “domestic terrorist” and slandered on social media.

All charges against her have been dropped.

In this interview she shows on of the seven holes the ICE agent put in her body.

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

So like this is funnier and more offensive than anything anyone else said about Kirk that got them fired
Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

You know Dems are bad at this because they somehow can't win a messaging war against a party that literally protects and promotes outright pedophilia, has a masked secret police that kidnaps grandmas, and also sends $20B of our tax money to Argentina.
Bessent on Trump's bailout of Argentina: "America first doesn't mean America alone ... what you don't want are these failed economic models. Argentina has 100 years of decline and President Milei is working against history. He's done a fantastic job."

an interesting thing about trump is his ability to recognise when other countries have an edge over the US or a superior way of doing things, but he is totally unable to emulate what they do because (ironically in this one example) he tries to get there in the most short-term ham-fisted way possible
(Chinese companies generally report at least some financial information on a quarterly basis)

(Also this idea is terrible, getting rid of audited quarterly disclosures would absolutely raise the risk premium for the US equity market compared to peers around the world)

Leftists are a significantly more loyal voting bloc for Dems than centrists ever were, but they get no credit because they criticize politicians online and demand better despite usually holding their nose and voting.

After Hurricane Katrina, it was discovered that white vigilantes went around just shooting any and all black people they came across after the news whipped them up about 'looters'.

Here they are celebrating on camera.

Over 600 ended up missing.

Many of them likely shot by these organized gangs.

The fact is that in the United States, right-wing violence
1. Is much more common than left-wing violence
2. Furthers the interests of the Republican Party, while what little left-wing violence exists mainly causes headaches for Democrats
3. Is coddled by the Republicans

What if we wrote about events in Trump’s America in the way that Western media describe African and Middle Eastern countries?

The steady deterioration of First Amendment rights and the conflation of violence with dissent is a result not just of an authoritarian regime but of a press culture that is feckless at best and authoritarian-fluffers at worst. The New York Times is beyond redemption.
The killings of two Israeli Embassy workers in Washington on Wednesday cast a harsh spotlight on the pro-Palestinian movement in the U.S. and the impact even peaceful protests might be having on attitudes against people connected to Israel.
