one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Watch the video as a recklessly driven cheap car careens around and a gang of armed thugs spring out to menace an innocent civilian, like a kidnapping or robbery or murder-for-hire.

It looks like organized crime taking place in a third-world country, because it is.

I mean, if you're that good at behavioral psychology, why do you need a convicted pedophile to help you talk to a redhead you find attractive?

The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024.

If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!

The fact they even granted cert instead of immediately issuing a ruling striking down the EO shows how illegitimate this court has become.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

The Holocaust—with every story and event in it—is only useful to us—by us, i mean the entire pop of planet earth—if it is used as a honking and flashing warning post.

Otherwise, we are sacralizing the Holocaust to a point that it becomes an inert & sad, but ultimately useless historical event.

Turns out we don't need to pay attention to the shape of someone's head to determine their intellect; we can just look at what they say.
In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

If Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO.

What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions.

Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

This insane blame deflection has precedents.

3 days after a 1963 bombing of Birmingham's 16th Street Baptist Church killed 4 young girls, Bull Connor said, "If you're going to blame anyone for getting those children killed in Birmingham, it's your Supreme Court," which had ordered desegregation.

That is an ICE agent pepper spraying a restrained victim in the face at close quarters; it's an unquestionable and indefensibly abusive use of excessive force that should (but won't) be criminally prosecuted as assault

In other news:

Over the weekend, Lindsey Graham, “I just want to make it really clear: I’m in the ‘Hitler sucks’ wing of the Republican Party.”

Which means, there is a”Hitler is awesome” wing of the Republican Party.

A journalist or 2 ought to ask the Senator about that, don’t you think?
“I’m in the ‘Hitler sucks’ wing”: Sen. Graham distances himself from Fuentes and Carlson at Republican Jewish Coalition.
But I just want to make it really clear, I'm in the Hitler sucks wing of the Republican Party. What is this Hitler shit? I don't know. Anyway, here's what I do know. You can sit in a basement with wei...
